Day 16 : GRANDMA!! Lite Teesuko!!


For all the guys who didn't get the title, "LITE TEESUKO!!" translates to "LITE LE YAAR" also, "TAKE IT EASY!!"

Lite Teesuko : This is something I've been hearing from my first year of Engineering. My lecturers too use it!! WOW!! Their context is a little different though. You go to them in a crisis and ask them to help you out, they say its too late and so..."lite teesuko"!! Now its the mantra I chant the most. All of us doing our engineering or who have already done it down here, chant it. Its the BEST lesson in LIFE my Engineering course could offer to me, for sure (I was always that kind though, I just found the right words here, THE MANTRA)!! And I'm sure there thousands more who would love to agree with me. What say folks??

Back to Granny tales... Think about this... Can you, at once, recollect a situation in life when you've been completely "helpless"?? I can, very quickly!! All the nasty encounters with my Grandfolks!! I mean its hard to get a few things across the table to my folks and these people are their folks!! Its IMPOSSIBLE!! There are these times when they are completely not okay with a few things we do. Like food habits, the times we choose to go to bed, the times we go out... and blah blah blah... And then there are times when they totally disapprove a few things we do... and then take-off time!! If my folks yelled at me, I can give it back to them, right back, and even convince them on the complete opposite of their initial assumptions!! Its the easiest things I can do now-a-days!! :P

But when its the Grander ones we are encountered by... naah, its not so easy!! I'm only referring to Grandmoms here. Grandpas are completely cool!! They don't give a damn as long as you don't come in their way. See!! They're MEN too!! :P But when Grandmas are throwing hot shots at you, there's not much at least "I" can do!! :( I've completely grown past the stage where it would offend me... I really don't bother myself with these warmer times now. Coming from Hyderabad, Hyderabad main hum aisich hai yaaron...sab kucch hum full lite lete yaaron... koi karein agar G mein dum toh...Dil pe mat lo... :P

On the contrary, of late, I've taught my Grandma a new mantra recently... THE "LITE TEESUKO" way of life!! My folks already know it pretty well and are doing great with it so far!! So, everytime there are signs of the steam building up... sploosh... "LITE TEESUKO!!" comes to my rescue. They still do get past it once in a while. But that's unavoidable I guess. So, all of you, teach the Gen-W the "LITE TEESUKO" way of life. It works great for me (only for short periods of time though!! but still, comes in very handy at times..:) )

And if anyone chooses to disagree on anything I've said, then again, "LITE TEESUKO"!!! :P No no... just go on... I'm always listening... I'm dying to hear!! :P

See you when I see you...

P.S. Listener discretion is advised for listening to the song. Its something from Hyderabad Blues, a Kukunoor movie. Loads of gaalis in there!! Also, I caught my first lizard today, a baby lizard (it was some 3/4th inch long). And also, Harry and I played with a centipede first thing after I woke up this morning!! It had 40 legs, stupid thing was slipping along the ceramic floor and thinking it was going somewhere!!

LIFE has never been better...

Three years and one semester down the engineering 'way of life' and I'm glad I am where I am. I've got an exam Monday morning but, still I do not feel it yet!!! Got very used to this culture of examinations and anticipations.

Because I know it now. Doesn't matter what you really write but, write you should. Fill up the pages with the most otiose lines you could come up with and make sure there are a lots of them and you'll be satisfied with what you get in return. I guess most of the girls always knew this and for some reason didn't find it that important to be shared with men (definitely not generalizing here). I couldn't believe until I actually saw a few(most!!) of them go on and on and on during many of the exams I've written, while I find myself just enjoying the beauty of the nature around!! The modern baroqueness they exhibit in their scripts... nothing short of a modern spectacle!! Guess its born-talent for a few!! Sadly my style of writing has always been nothing but laconic.

But today, I am a changed man. I know the tricks of the game too... :) I'm happy that I'm not the only one this time (not that I wouldn't be happy otherwise!! I'm the kind who thinks, 'if not for me, then, not for anyone else either'). In better words, just like my aunt tells me : हम तो डूबे है सनम, तुम्हे भी लेकर डूबेंगे

Some 14 of us were out today to celebrate Arun's birthday and all of us just chilling out (so much that we had the AC turned off!!). At least I know they haven't been studying for the time we were together and no one really looked like they gave a damn about the exam. WAY TO GO GUYS!!!:):):) WOW, FEELS SOOOO GOOD!! And I don't intend to change my plans anytime soon either!! So, I'm back to doing what I do best... JUST CHILL

P.S. Wishing you a Happy Birthday dada!!!
