WHEN HUMPTY DUMPTY CAME ALIVE....

Date: 13th August,2008

Place:Bhubaneswar

Time:9:45 am

A college bus comes to a halt on the national highway no.5.The reason-road blockade ahead by a political party on Amarnath land row.In apprehension of a goof up,the driver diverts the bus to a narrower path.He expected traffic to be quite less there.But phish!There was a serpentine queue of vehicles for nearly 2 kms...."Oh shit!!!!!",exclaimed all the 8 students on the bus.It was only 30 minutes to reach the exam hall and they were quite far away.Miss X had Analog Electronics paper at 10:15 am followed by Data Structure paper at 3:30 pm.She took all caution to follow her friends-crossing all boulders,uneven surfaces for about 200 metres.Then came the climax.As she was trying to negotiate with a steep path on foot,there was a noise "kadakada" from her knees.She realized that her favourite pair of sandals had given way.Worse still,she felt pain and couldn't walk!!!!! With great courage,she took a step forward..She tried to call a friend frantically by waving her hands.Miss X could no longer maintain a balance.An unknown girl and her friend made her sit on a chair,belonging to a makeshift "rakhi" stall.Our dear Miss X summoned an autorickshaw and directed him to the college.The roads were worst due to rains.She picked up two more of her friends from the way.All the while Miss X thought-"Hey,all will be right.Only appear the exam and then,I'll call home."The auto reached the college patio and she tried to get off.Again she lost her balance.She was picked by some girls-some known,some unknown saw her and most of them proved to be helpful.Her bag and sandals were picked up by one(Yes!she was wearing her shoes till then,in fact she meant to repair them as early as possible).

With two people carrying her on both sides,she managed to climb two fleets of stairs,her left leg having spasms from the pain.Steadily she reached the exam hall,few classmates asked what happened.She tried to reply.Meanwhile, the exam bell rung and she wrote her paper.After it was over,she called home.Her dad came in sometime and took her home. At once,the duo set off for the nearest hospital.Miss X had to be taken to the doctor on a wheel chair(It was her first brush with it!).The X ray report and diagnosis indicated a sprain in the knee.Again,she was relaxed a bit.Now she had an exam to appear...After a quick lunch and a dose of painkillers,she went off to the college with her parents.On request,she was allotted a room on the ground floor and wrote the exam.Several cancellations made her exam sheet look like a rough notebook.Anyhow an hour passed and she went out,her parents supporting her on both sides. Some teachers made enquiries regarding her condition and the "daddy dearest" replied to all of them.They returned home and she was put on the bed.She had her last paper the next day and tried to read for it.Night came and she went off to sleep.

Now our Miss X is recuperating.She's none other than the author of this blog and is using a "mishap" to get maximum love and care at home.

How was this post?Awaiting replies,

Anwesa.......

MRS DESPATCHER(PART II)

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS POST… Eighteen months later…. I was beginning to like my work. It was a challenge sometimes. I had learnt to go beyond boundaries. The dreams which had eluded me once, were dawning as reality now. I had my taste of success and as they say nothing succeeds like success. I had developed a knack for solving my own problems. One day , I chanced by a couple who were seated in a corner of the quaint little coffee shop. I couldn’t believe my eyes…. Divya and Sandip…here of all places. I couldn’t help but confront them. Divya was warmer than ever before and Sandip… I knew he was feeling a bit coy..its so typical of him. But I was more than surprised when he asked me to join them. Though I didn’t refuse, they found me going after five minutes. I invited them for lunch on Sunday. It was a fine Sunday morning and my guests were sharp on time. Divya offered me help in the kitchen and I chose not to refuse. My books kept Sandip busy. She could read my mind and went on with h

A s I was walking , C hoosing the hues of life, R ainclouds made an appearance O n the sunny sky above. S cuttling through untrodden paths, T he narrow bylanes,not a soul around, I was indeed lost - Drops of rain C hased me - but Ahoy! a way was found.

ILLUSIONS OF REALITY...

The more you point out my mistakes, The more you are drawn towards me. The more you try to hurt me, The more you bleed in your heart. The more you run away from me, The more my memories haunt you. The more you want to forget me, The more you are reminded of my presence. The more you want to chase me away, The closer I come to you. The more you hate me, The more you end up loving me. The more you call me an “illusion” The more I dawn as the reality of your life….
