Dying with boredom on a whole new level

Slow internet, defect in the music app, absence of a person to annoy and mom in a shop to select cloth for her suits is like a combination deadlier than plane old boredom . I don't know about everyone but I know that if you go with mom for Aunty shopping you are bound to be bored as.......if you are sitting in a 24-hr history lesson about the history of a walking stick with the phrase 'one thing led to another' being constantly repeated by a really old teacher whose voice has more monotony than the sound of paint drying. People say that when they experience something that causes an adrenaline rush few minutes seem like hours, I beg to differ, try sitting doing nothing in a car while your mom shops. She will look at  the same kind of stuff  with only slight minuscule differences that won't even be visible unless you use a magnifying glass. And let's not even get started on the bargaining,  like that's just the norm. You know you can not go shopping with your mother without her trying to get a bargain it doesn't matter if you go to a branded or nonbranded,  bargaining is essential. And that is just when you are shopping for your own stuff. Shit only gets real and deadly when she has to buy her stuff. Make fun of ladies all you want but get in the way of their bargaining, that's like humiliating death and expecting that it won't retaliate completely and utterly useless. If you go against a woman while she bargaining, she literally becomes karma and revenge is served in the most brutal way possible. I don't know about the rest of the world but I'm pretty sure that this holds true for all Desi's. So personally for me going shop with mom is the most boring yet dangerous thing I can do. I think anyone who can go shopping with their moms for more than two hours straight and not be at the brunt of a scathing remark by their moms deserves an award

Nothing But School : ( sigh ) :

You how they say when you really want something and are ready to do anything to achieve it ( morally right things, of course) nothing in the this universe can stop you...........…… Well I beg to differ cause The only thing I've been to get this week is some me time to find the sarcastic troublemaker in me but every time I try that something or the other comes up and the irony is the we have had holidays, ok, fine, I admit these are preparatory holidays for exams but even then I have been soooooo busy that I wasn't able to update for such a long time but so many times I was busy with stuff that wasn't related school and then I thought that it would be impractical now and hence once our finals are over I would relax and do lazy stuff. Buuuuuuut then I realised that my 10 measly holidays are already planned and while quite a lot of it is fun stuff but it's the fun you have with other people actual human beings and not the put up loud inappropriate music and scream and jump along with it while the food keeps coming in just because you want. And even now the only evil I can find is SCHOOL  SCHOOL and SCHOOL. And only because while I studying stuff out of which 60% I will forget after the horrific 3 hr paper I could definitely do something else. So I would like to end in a very classy way by saying CURSE YOU EXAMS or SCHOOL ( both are stupid).     

The BFF Code

All best friends follow certain rules which make their friendship unique. And of course there are consequences ( which can be good or.....we don't wanna go there ). 

So Here it is THE BFF CODE ...............

• Tell each other everything. Whether immediately or eventually. 

• Share everything ( gossip, makeup, clothes, playstations, star crushes and what not ). But most importantly share food ( the real, unhealthy one ). You also have the right to use their stuff without permission. 

• Cuss words show your love one another. 

• you are the only person who is allowed to insult them ( apart from family of course... your bff's family are your team mates when it comes to pulling their leg ) and you have full right to eliminate competition. 

• Inside jokes are not to be forgotten. Whenever and wherever they come up, it is mandatory for the said BFF's to share a glance and a laugh, no matter how old the joke may be. 

• It is  absolutely necessary to get together in holidays at least twice ( no excuses ). 

• You have the right to act inappropriately in front of them and crack the lamest jokes of all time  without being judged. 

• You are the one responsible to uplift their mood after they are sad or star in fiascos.  

• If they are being mean without any reason, you have the right to confront them and tell them off. 

( these are all the rules in my mind and if you can think up of one do let me know ) 

Game Night

"Hey it's my turn"

"You idiot read the instructions"

"Can we please behave like human beings"

"You seriously don't remember how to play this"

"Oh what a felony I have committed, someone please hang me for not remembering the rules" 

Ah! The joys of another family game knight, with a hyper younger sister, a short tempered mom, a sticler for rules dad and a moody me. But the game we had to choose was life which is like monoply but a heck lot more personal. These were just some of the eloquent comments my family and I passed. But some how I don't think the game would have been that fun had we not been screaming and shouting like it was the battle of sparta rather than a game of life. But hands down I have to admit that the most hilarious part of the night was watching my parents call each other cheaters and show tongues to each other with eyes shut, fingers in their earswill the alternated in poking their tongues and singing 'nanana' like 4 year olds and not soon to be 40 year olds. I'm pretty sure me and my sister were even worse but somehow that makes it all the more fun. Don't you think????

The Big Fat Indian Wedding

The Indian terminology for relatives is more confusing than quantum physics because you don't get away with aunt, uncle, grandparents and grand aunts and uncles and cousins. You have mamu, mami, chachu, chachi, tayaji, taiji, massi, fufu and whatnot and these barely 5% of the relatives maybe even less.  But the fact that  the terminology also differs from family to family and religion to religion is super difficult to grasp unless you've been brought up in India. And a wedding is the place where each and every single relative is present and right now I haven't started on the honary brothers, sisters and every other honary relative......yet. If you're kid whose parents have their own share of male and female cousins you see a different wedding every time. You see the weddings on mom's side of the family and on dad's side of the family you see the wedding as the brides family or as the grooms family. These different sides have their own crazy customs which are super fun to execute. If I started describing an Indian wedding it would take me a week of constant entries. And hence all this for now and maybe another entry later. 

P.S. Guess where I wrote this entry?......That's right at a .....WEDDING 

Land of Swagger

{ Warning!!! This is another lighthearted post and does not promote or discriminate against any belief. Guys I'm sorry but I'll skip this and peace out } 

The world has 133+ countries, and one of them is India. The country India has 29 states and one of them is Punjab , THE LAND OF SWAGGER. This is one thing you don't argue with 'cause you know when Shakespeare secretly came to Punjab in the 1600's , he saw the Punjabi's and went 'Man dis is style. These people got their walk , talk , the handsome locks and the moves all figured out and there is only one word that can describe it and that word is .....SWAGGER'. 

Like only a Punjabi can wear traditional suit along with aviators and still look like the coolest person ever. 

Punjabi's are known for their temper and that is.........completely TRUE. Like if you ask true Indians what a fight between or with Punjabis is like, they'll just look at you with a deadpan and pray for you to never be stuck in a situation like that. And that's because it doesn't matter if the Punjabi loses or wins because everyone knows that no matter how long it takes for them to strike back, they will strike back and when they do their opponent(s) better watch their back. 

And it the same energy of their that makes them the life of the party. They are ready to shake a leg on a song they heard the first time or even do the bhangra on the noise of a generator's motor. 

So I guess what I'm saying is that they are great at having fun and getting crazy and that's why I guess Punjabis are sorta born with SWAGGER. 

Happy 2016 People

Was it just me or did the year  fly by faster than the rest of 'em ?  Looking back on the memories This was a whirlwind of a year with new friends and experiences surpassing the normalcy of the past years. Sooooooo I guess what I'm saying is that while this may mean new beggings it doesn't have to close of the old ones. So guys happy new year and in President Snow's voice *May the odds ever be in your favour *
