SHEer FUN :)






Exams have receded. The feeling of ecstasy is inexplicable. Even the coldest of the winds, feel warm n lovely. Any further digging into the past, further talk about exams could kick alive the sleeping devil. So, let us let him rest in peace.

Holidays! That period of one’s life, when he owns each second of his day. No schedules to stick to, no timetables, no getting up early, it is independence from HIS HIGHNESS KING DISCIPLINE. However, the souvenir for exams, the monsieur results, will soon arrive to destroy every minute of my happiness. Anyway, I don’t believe in a tomorrow, so lets lead ‘today’ to an immortal haven.

The Y-chromosomes have flooded the earth. Holy mother! Is it some kind of fault or has the semen become the world’s most prejudiced colloidal solution? The male population seems to be rising like the evening tides on a beach. My feministic alter, was growing out of control n before she took possession n grew mightier, I pulled myself on a holiday trip to WONDER LA. It was a freezing Friday morning; however, I chose to put on a sleeveless t-shirt. It gives me insane pleasure to wage solitary wars against nature.
We stepped into a monstrous metal box with wheels n a rough, loud scream, which people in our city refer to as the BMTC bus. The driver’s patience received a thumbs-up from my side, as he carefully maneuvered the monster through the packed roads.
After an endless travel, we finally arrived at the place of excitement n adventure.
The first glimpse swept my feministic alter ego, off her feet. She could not contain the excitement of seeing such an influx in the female population. There were over 7 all girls’ schools who wanted to experience the excitement along with us. However, the romantic alter ego yelled out a deep sigh of discontentment n rage.

Buying the entry passes was never a problem, because, most of our comrades had already booked their tickets. The counters were free n welcoming. It was not my first time here; however, it was the best time. Sensing the weather to be still cold n the fact that all the little lilies hopped into the water, we decided to go with the drier rides. There is something intriguing about WONDER LA, it activates every lazy muscle of your body and the scenario nourishes your guts to obese. Often I thought, it was an obligation to flaunt the fake adventurous attitude, to cope with peers. Nevertheless, here faking becomes an obsolete act.


Tracing 360 degrees in the wind, somersaults by those gigantic machinery, a true work of adventure-loving, skilled engineers, I thought. For the first time ever, I had a reason to appreciate engineers. That does not destroy my strong hatred towards VTU or Mrs. Hooligan and their torture. Water rides followed, by the end of which, I could feel the rats pacing up and down my stomach.


The sun sank into the horizon, the darkness enthralled and the day ended beautifully. Amidst all the excitement, fun and frolic, shruthi realized she was more than 50 kg and I realized I would never be able to survive without these people. A bunch of mavericks but diversity of thought has brought us all together.

On my way back home, however I could associate each one of us to one of the rides.
Shruthi, krithi and arpitha however would top on INSANITY. They are crazy crazier and the craziest.
Vasudha, manisha and archana are maverick, independent minded and successful.
Deepika and anusha are splashes of joy n smiles, they would be water splash.
Well, I could call myself the pendulum, mostly positioned at the extremes.

OMG...!!!
Im entering troubled waters..!!!
This looks like an all-girls blogspot describing an all-girls outing.. but I have nothing to fear.. cuz the author is hungry for comments.. irrespective of the gender of the person who posts it..!!
Hey tej.. I never knew you had that feminist alter ego in noticeable quantities (Of course all gurls have it.. but I seriously wish we could measure it..!!).. or even that it was growing out of control during the vacations.. now I know the reason behind all the guys backing out so mysteriously.. you just wanted to go on your own.. then why ask us in the first place..?
Admit it.. you couldn't go without telling us.. your feminist alter ego takes a back seat in these matters huh...!! Letting that romantic alter ego to purr ;)

Anyways good that you enjoyed it..
But senorita.. don't be prejudiced (in case you are..).. the masculine alter egos that reside in us in unwavering strengths would never let us go with such feminists on outings..!! So we're not jealous but rather content about it..!! hehe..

And @ whoever that is commenting that "guys are the psycho species"...
You are probably unaware and ignorant about the fact that the so-called psycho species is actually composed of gals.. perhaps to a greater extent than guys (Notice that im modest-unlike you-in admitting that guys do contribute to the numbers). And let me make it clear you poor ignorant prejudiced soul.. that the criterion for belonging to that particular species is not gender.. but attitude..

Anyways tej.. kudos to your writing skill.. Im patiently awaiting the release of your first novel..

PS: My most sincere apologies to anyone whose feelings are hurt by my comments.. :)

in answer to sim.

The male female ratio in our class (engg) or in a co-ed school maybe n the mysterious disappearances of female children from many villages, the fact that a girl child is (even to this day) not given as much prominence as the males in enormous families,women trafficking, abording the female foetus, offense against the destitute women,rapes, pawings, molestations,the sati which still exists etc, probably in an inarticulate manner i've tried to bring up those issues.my next post will probably contain these stuff in an articulate, elaborate manner.

there has been nothing personal bot u guys n ur presence wud have been definitely appreciated. only tat the title of my blog wud probably hav changed. :)n kudos to all the great men of the indian history who have made attempts to better the life of women.our war is against the men who've drawn away our privilages by not giving us a chance to come into this planet.

my friend above has not intended to be offensive, i can guarantee u with tat.

keep commenting simha.. i'd really appreciate it..

wow...totally feminist...u shud seriously think of becoming an author or something like that...i always thot a blog is supposed to be more of a casual thing but this is nice as well.of course i cant give humongous reviews like your other "commentators"(:P) but i can say that your blog really rocks.its got a very individualistic feel in it and i can sort of relate to it on some level.
luv ur blog,
keep flirting(with danger/guys);P

Hello again Tej..!

This is to clarify that i'm in no way hurt or offended by your comments.. I do hold immense respect for feminism and detest all the atrocities meted out at women in this society.. And I also respect people like you who express these things on blogs without pushing them under the carpet and keeping quiet..!
My comment only has a humorous shade to it and nothing else.. If you did not feel like laughing(or even smiling) then it is only due to my horrible, lamentable sense of humor..!! :(

I again urge all readers to notice my caution that I do not have any intention to offend anyone.. :)
My apologies again to any offended souls...
