Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die

Jayesh, My khau partner wants himself to be called as Jase ( A top secret)

Jase: Lets have something. "Bahut bukh lagi hai" (the most spoken wordz by him in the college and everybody's reply: kitna khayega motiey, kha kha ke phat jayega)
Meee: K lets go to canteen
Jase: Kurkure aur wafers ke alawa kuch nahi hai waha pe. wana have idli and other southindian food?? (he asks in such a manner that some angel is goin to come and serve all this to us)
Meee: Khana to hai par milega kaha?
Jase: Apollo hai na
Meee: NOooo, hospital mein kya ye sab khane ki chiz hai!
Jase: Lets try it once

Tat once was converted into a regular practice. Starting from breakfast we also had lunch there and even dinner many a times.
I sometimes wondered is Apollo, Hospital or a Hotel?
This continued till four months and were obsessed by it then dialogue used to be:
Chal Apollo kuch hkate hai
Noo wo koi khane ki jagah thodi hai. hospital mein logo ko dekh kar muje khana bhi nahi bhata (Sale ki do mahina pehle ki photo kinch le hoti na to aj dikhata ke us time aise khata tha jaise k u have participated in eating competition)

Then place changed with change in time. Apollo to Narayani to Amul (Pehle EXITING PIZZAAA lagta tha now it has become dull piza) and then to vrundavan. Tried and Tasted each of these but not satisfied with any.

Then it was something like this one
Lunch time: Lunch? (Obviously everyone wud say YES)
Jase: Narayani, Vrundavan or Amul?
Dhwani: A big nooo to Amul, Apollo or narayani.
Vishal: U people go whereever u want to have ur lunch i dont want to come anywhere.

We kept on trying new and better places but everytime this better turned to good and then to non acceptable alternative.

Thank God; if this course have been of more than a year then we would have certainly noticed Apollo beds full of EDIOTs. (they will surely have one on one fights juz for deciding the place for having lunch )

Dear Frens,

THis seems to be real life story for many of our classmates!!
A Nicely written rhyme with taking due care of our sentiments :)


Na Ye Chemistry Hoti ,
Na Mein Student Hota
Na Ye Lab Hoti,
Na Ye Accident Hota

Abhi Practical Mein Aaye Nazar Ek Ladki
Sundar Thi Naak Uski Test Tube Jaisi
Baton Mein Uski Glucose Ki Mithas Thi
Sanson Mein Ester Ki Khushbu Bhi Sath Thi

Aankhon Se Jhalakta Tha
Kuch Is Taranh Ka Pyaar
Bin Piye Hi Ho Jata Tha
Alcohol Ka Khumar

Benzene Sa Hota Tha
Uski Presence Ka Ehsas
Andhere Mein Hota Tha
Radium Ka Abhas

Nazrein Mileen, Reaction HuaKuch Is Taranh
Love Ka Production Hua
Lagne Lage Us Ke Ghar Ke Chakkar Aise
Nucleus Ke Charon Taraf Electron Hon Jaise

Us Din Hamare Test Ka Confirmation Hua
Jab Uske Daddy Se Hamara Introduction Hua
Sun Kar Hamari Baat Woh Aise Uchal PareIgnition
Tube Mein Jaise Sodium Bharak Uthe

Woh Bole, Hosh Mein Aao,
Pahchano Apni Auqat
Iron Mil Nahin Sakta Kabhi Gold Ke SathYe

Sun Kar Tuta Hamare Armanon Bhara Beaker
Aur Hum Chup Rahe Benzaldehyde Ka Karwa Ghoont Pi Kar

Ab Us Ki Yaadon Ke Siwa Hamara Kam Chalta Na Tha
Aur Lab Mein Hamare Dil Ke Siva Kuch Aur Jalta Na Tha
Zindagi Ho Gayee Unsaturated Hydrocarbon Ki Taranh
Aur Hum Phirte Hain Awara Hydrogen Ki Tarhan.

Reservation!!!

It is in vogue to reserve seats in hotels airways and railways, but there one does not see caste and class. But clearly, to reserve seats in Institutions of Excellence is wholly unacceptable and overwhelmingly outrageous. ‘Reservations’ has today become a clichéd word, often abused, somewhat misunderstood and overtly hated.

The argument in favour of reservation is that the ‘backwards’ have been exploited by the ‘forwards’. Then there is the argument of ‘backwards’ having ‘suffered’ at the hands of the ‘uppers’.

To my mind, if a majority of us prides in being backward, rest assured India will not move forward. Even as we understand from one Mr. Thomas Friedman that “The World is Flat” and that India is a major entity in this flat world, reservations will make India fall flat on its face, let alone stand with grace, if ever they are implemented.

Let us all face this fact: Yes, there were exploitations. Yes, there have been discriminations. Yes, there have been unfair judgements. BUT THEY WERE ABBERRATIONS. They came from the wrong people, at the wrong time and for all the wrong reasons.

I fail to understand as to what is the significance of these so-called last 5000 years of exploitation, when the last so many generations were not even born? And most of these stories of exploitation have been passing through the generations. True, there have been discriminations, but it was once. And today is a new day with an even more unforgiving world.
History is often distorted. And one of the victims of such distortions has been the contentious issue of reservations. If we are to retrospect over the years gone by, it is better to look back as to why did we allow foreign powers to rule and molest India for centuries together? Why did we allow ourselves to be put in a position where we would not be masters of our own destinies? I submit that we in India unfortunately do not seem to be a united lot. We are not Indian per se. We happen to be Punjabis and Parsees first. Malyalees and Muslims even. But not Indians.
The point I am trying to make is, if exploitation amongst castes is what is being highlighted in the justification for reservations, then I believe, the exploitation that India was subjected to under the garb of colonialism is far worse. It is necessary to work as a united force. Politics of and for the vote banks, appeasements to these ‘oppressed’ classes by way of reservations would only kill their initiative to work.

Those politicians who have the audacity to turn unity in diversity into nuclear fission must also note that there are dalits who have made it big by refusing the seats reserved for them and instead competing from the open merit-based process of admissions. This is sadly not highlighted.

Reserving seats on financial ground can be acceptable. What can be really done about the issue of caste-based reservations is that these SC/ST and OBC people need to be trained in some vocations so that they are self-employed.

Even if these reservations are implemented, imagine the plight of these people in the society at large and workplaces too, where they WILL be looked at with deformed vision. It will then be US vs THEM. There would be no WE.

And when this happens, it will be the end of unity and a new beginning of class war. And when then, it will be the beginning to an end. A beginning where hostility will be the order of the day. Where India will not be a Republic, but a loosely held confederation of states.

The one way is to stop letting the heart to rule, and the brain to take over. The other way is to expect miracles. But, miracles do not just happen.

To conclude,
RESERVATION IS A PEST;
MERIT IS BEST;
AND NEVER THE TWAIN MUST MEET
