Those Good Old Saturdays

How fondly i remember those days, to be exact those saturdays that were there. With all the rush and hoopla to reach in time before the classes start. Oh boy that was something as all seven of us 4 below and 3 above( i mean to say 4 guys downstairs and 3 upstairs) all have to reach before the classes start. Mind you these were not any ordinary classes but special classes as they used to happens once in a week and that day was saturday.
Scene1: I would start with the start of the season. myself, bhatia + jose supplied 3 from above. among us or amongst 7 of us Jose was and still leads the race of getting up well before time and sleeping well before time. So before our sun could rise we would c jose all ready and set and reading paper or cutting his nails or chatting over the phone. Next in line was me, i would get up not really early. Keep a bucket for getting warm which would be shared in two halve between me and bhatia. Till the time bucket gets to melt bhatia saab would get up and me him would ultimately be ready very nearly at the same time. As the clock would strike 7:30 jose wold bid good-bye from upstairs and leave for ground-floor and says will be waiting down for us. But guess we never found him waiting for anyone, just like time ;).
Scene2: Now as me and bhatia would be running at arnd 7:45 to catch the last bus we would take a peep into our downstairs flat-mates. Now there was an interesting picture there. Well there was no sun-rise or rush there, everyone would seem to get up in lethargy and can compete for the laziest bum of all. The typical picture would be we could see tiwari just got up and splashing his face and hair with water...and dnt knw whether brush teeth was on the menu or not. Mr. Vijh was always shaving as if he has a major meeting to attend to with all the tycoons of the corporate world attending that meeting. Tarun well dnt ask me, but he would make sure he reaches on time well before the next period at 11 starts ;) joneka would just get up in time and occupy the bath-room in time to finish all his chores before others but u cud c him running all the way to bus stop.
Well i guess jose would say to these fellows c u at bus stop i would wait there for u...
Scene 3: Bus-stop surprsingly we almost 80% of the time got well before the last bus and sometimes not also. By the time myself and bhatia would reach there jose would have already left... so we r in a situation where we dont know whether the last bus has left or still to come. In this time of pondrering over we would get support from sandy and noops that we r not the only culprit of coming late some more ppl r there also to follow. Then we wud enquire from ppl who wud wait at udupi garden stopping has the bus left or not. Mostly we get a +ve response so we tell our guys back home that its safe and they can come. Then one by one they arrive sometimes not also. Not to mention sometimes the bus never used to stop and the driver would ignore us as if we are trying to travel without any ticket! But we make it to the classes almost or before the 2nd class at least.
Now the classes were also fun but then that is another story in itself. So that is for the next time.

Vulnerability at its best

just how many lows can be enough is the question in the point?
when do you know that you have just hit the lowest ebb...?
when u know that it just keeps coming up in different faces day after day
a day full of surprises, full of bad surprises...
how should one react to all the things that are gng wrog with you and then when u finally think no it'll stop, zoom comes another one ur way.....
to know that someone's very low on confidence and motivation, would some one dare to throw a stone at that person. And if it hurts it hurts even more..
