In continuation to the last tragedies.....
Third phase Kulachi Hansraj, typical delhi ka school. In boarding people dont care for what they wear how and what they eat. But here it came as a blow to me. All smartly dressed and each had some not so good etiquette of doing things, everything. But even major shock was that I was put into a Co-ed school, straight from a Boys only boarding,(till then out of the not knowns, the only girls i had seen were babes from Welhams, Lawerence (Sanawar), Sharon stone in BI and lots of skimply clad blondes), now you can make out my mental state. I went into virtual coma, didnt speak much, always was conscious about things.Guys thought yeh to champu hai. But bhaiya aisa nahin karte to kaand ho jaata isliye aise hi theek the kaam chal raha tha. I shot to fame with my merit in school, accompanied by few extra-currics( yehi hain jisne bacha rakha hai). Made good rather very good friends, still in contact. By the time i reached 10th i had recovered from the "girl-shock" and felt better. Till the time School was over i had all experiences that you can think of.Just a confession never made it publicaly.Lots of crushes from actresses to lots of batchmates bas poocho mat yaar kanya ki bharmar dekh dimag ghoom gaya tha. Time to select a stream in 11th. Papa said you shouldnt do commerce, arts was considered a low grader thing, after having spent time with medics i didnt want to do medical, So the only choice was non-med. Lots of friends were taking it so thought nice company and joined the stream. In all the relevant exams in 11th & especially in comp. sc could not get more than borderline. Failed all through out in 12th. No probs yet tried for IIT. (see the level of optimistm). Boards did full-full cheating passed wonderfully. IIT no cheating lag gayi lanka. Finally NSIT ECE got through.
Third phase , people said ECE is good comp was best. Comp i never could understand in school so took ECE. My decisions have always been a result of public opinion poll or sheer elimination of choices with the best being what my friends opt for. Bas chal pade, apna hua apne doston ka nahin hua, kya karte. This has been just like my earlier boarding phase but a far better one made better friends, no girlfriends but all ladies knew isse bach ke rehna. College stay couldnt help me much in acads but it helped me bring out and hone my other side, as an orator, theatre person, and a writer. Which I love and all those who like me also love it (at least they say so). Again ab tak ka sabse bada kanya paksh ka jhatka college main laga, liked many beauties not said anything ,as usual. But amongst of all these I found one, she has been the best lady I have ever met in real life, i admire her and now the line of comparison has set the threshold there. Nothing less than or similar to her. She was a beauty with simplicity and wonderful brains , a rare combo. In acads I made it with disasters got a suppli in Electronics (my branch core) yet only wanted a job in Electronics Hardware( again optimism, optimism ki to factory lagi hui hai khatam hi nahin hota) nobody took me so joined an oil company.
