'B-Kranthi' where B = Bad :-)

Prescript: For my convenience , here I am using the term 'B-words/Bwords' instead of 'Bad Words' as it is tiresome to type everytime the whole lengthy word and moreover "Bwords" sounds like sort of euphemiser for "Bad words" :P

Here we go :

"kranthi never utters a single Bword" one friend reveals.

"you should say some Bwords...its not bad. you should...you must...you have to....you ...." one tried to hypnotise. :-)

"you are missing the majaa by not using them..its a lot of fun,...thrilling" one friend confessed.

These are the remarks or comments or advices or whatever my friends gave me.

I am goin to give them a change-your-opinion-about-kranthi story.Now, all of those who know me and who wants me to speak Bwords will love me and all those who doesnt want me to speak those words will kill me :-)

So..be my guests and fasten your seat belts in my time machine as we are time-travelling to my school days @ 3rd class :

When I was in 3rd class my uncle was in his B.Sc. days (degree).He had a good group of close-friends and they used to hang out at our house. As I was very close to my uncle(still i am :) ) I always took part in their get-together-have-chat-have-fun-moments.And whenever they talked they had their conversations filled with some Bwords ,on and off.

On one such day , the NEURONS in my brain caught two of thos B-words and were raring to eject them .Just looking for a right moment and a right target :P .And It happened the same day. I was playing in the ground close to our house.The victim was Radha aka RadhaKrishna. (atleast he seemed victim at that moment but he was not).While we were playing some issue cropped up and I hurled " " " ".I scolded him in telugu.Two words were uttered succesively.No gap. I just said.But I didnt mean that. His two reactions were... Number one :Completely shocked face. Number two: Sarcastic Smiling face. But,mine was the only emotion :Numbness ,though it was me who said that. I was badly shaken up by what i did. I was worried and I pleaded him not to tell anybody. But he was smiling. Intriguing smile... I remeber that. How can I forget that ???

The real hell began....

Radha and me ,being the classmates,finished the evening prayer at school and,in school uniform,, we were heading towards the outgate in a queue. And then...he started it "Kranthi..I'll tell to sir waht u said" . I was petrified.'Petrified' is a less -intensed -word expression of my feelings at that time. I was like ' almost dead'. Actually, at that time,from the day i said ,i had been analysing all the time things like "what i said" "why i said" "how i said" and was goin through a real bad phase. And to make matters worse, he satared this torture. I begged him " please raa..dont do that". He relented that day.

Two days after.... he started it again " I will complain abt you. You used bad language.U said ' ' , ' ' . I felt like "God!!!! Why am i still alive? ". I finally tried to make the complaint less grievous and i suggested " okay raa...but dont tell him waht i said actually ,instead tell him just that i called u Idiot and Rascal" ( wah.!!! waht an escape attempt? " ). BUt he responded as if he never used that kind of words(he uses often) and as if he never spoke a lie before " why?? why would I lie? " And I dont need to explain my feelings at that time.You can guess !!!!

He never said anything about that to any sir.But for a long time..he sort of blackmailed me and he enjoyed it to maximum.hahaha. And I always made a fool of myself worrying whenever he broached the topic.

I remember that day. i remember how i had that urge of saying those words. i remember what i said " " ," ".

adios:
Kranthi

P.S: Now you can change your opinion on me :(

Thats the first and last time i said something like that. Any guesses what I said that day ? ;-)

Breakfast Blues

Eating a plate of hot idly is heaven while having cold idlies is deadly hell. As I usually take my breakfast here in hostel at around 11 a.m , I end up paying a quick visit to hell twice a week. Those moments of eating unpleasantly cold idlies are awful.It happened today again :(

A Quote

Last night i watched the movie "American History X". The film ends with Abraham Lincoln's quote :

" We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."

me liked it.

Confessions of a Non-Valentine :-)

"క్రాంతి ఎవరో ఒకర్ని లవ్ చేసి ఉంటాడు . ఖచ్చితంగా గర్ల్ ఫ్రెండ్ ఉంటుంది " అని ఎవరైనా అంటే నేను "నేను రోజు అద్దంలో మొహం చూసుకుంటాను.అమ్మాయిల dreams ని నేనెందుకు అనవసరంగా spoil చేస్తాను? " అని అనేవాడిని :-)

అలాంటిది,long time ago, ఒక రోజు మా ఫ్రెండ్ "క్రాంతి ని ఖచ్చితంగా ఎవరో ఒకరు love చేస్తూ ఉంటారు " అని అన్నాడు . ఇదేదో variety గా వుంది .reverse case.నన్ను ఎవరైనా love చేయడమా ? so... ఎవరయ్యుంటారు ... నాకు తెలియకుండా ఎవరయ్యుంటారు ? ;-)

ఈ క్రింది cases నాకు తెలియకుండా జరుగుతున్నాయంటారా ? :P :

నేను class లోకి enter అవుతుంటే నన్ను చూసి తన చెలికత్తెలచే tease చేయబడే ఆ నా చెలి ఎవరో ?

తన diary లో "ఈరోజు kranthi blue jeans వేసుకున్నాడు ..." "ఈరోజు kranthi late గా వచ్చాడు class కి " అని రాసుకునే ఆ innocent girl ఎవరో ?

ఇంక్కొన్ని రోజుల్లో record submit చేయాలి ... ఎంతో కష్టపడి అక్కడ ఇక్కడ copy కొట్టి కష్టపడి record submit చేస్తాను . correct చేసిన record తెచ్చుకుందామని lab ki వెళ్తాను .. కానీ ఆ record ని నా beautiful handwriting ( :P ) కోసం already దొంగిలించే ఆ దొంగ సఖి ఎవరో ?

hmm...కాని ఈ ఫై cases లో ని కలలన్నీ కల్లలే . ఎందుకంటే జీవితంలో నా record ని ఎవరూ కొట్టేయలేదు కనుక .నేను ఏ colour jeans వేసుకున్నానో గుర్తుంచుకోవడం పక్కన పెట్టండి ... కత్తి లాంటి విషయమేంటంటే అసలు class లో girls కి మన పేరు గుర్తుండదు ఎందుకంటే అసలు మన పేరు తెలిస్తే కదా ?!!! కటకటా!! విధి ఆడిన వింత _ _ _ (మీకు తెలిసిన డైలాగే కదా ..no need to finish that !!)

P.S: కాని ..... "falling in love" ఒక మంచి beautiful feeling కదా ... splendid. what say? . Love చేసిన వారంతా ధైర్యంగా పెళ్లి చేసుకోవాలి .ఎవరేమన్నా lite తీసుకోవాలి. అప్పుడు వాళ్ళు ఆనందంగా ఉంటారు . వాళ్ళని చూసి మనం ఆనందంగా ఉంటాము . (okay okay ...got you..got you.. no more preaching :-))

adios

0% Dhoom . 100% Doom !!!!!

Riding a bike on our roads is defnitely not an easy task.Besides patience, courage etcetera etcetera i found one more thing which is as important as any other required qualities and it is "spontaneity".. let me narrate a few of my experiences which required ,as i said, "Spontaneity" ;-)

My karma/ Naa kharma- 1 :

I was driving. Thoughts...flying. It happens sometimes.. when on bike we just drive oblivious to the surroundings. We go towards the destination without our effort.We just go. That day i was in that phase of driving.

One biker was driving a few meters ahead of me . He turned his head and spat in a typical indian style "yaak..thuuu". He didnt care a damn about others (me, at that point :-( ) who were using the same road at that moment. Having found myself in such a bizarre, pathetic, helpless situation , my mind which was in some anonymous-uknown-world somehow captured his this act of "eject saliva" and immmediately took control of my phisycal body which was on bike. The physical body which got instructions from a new owner(mind) instead of me applied brakes suddenly ,slowed the bike and gave the body a never-before-twist to ward off that spit-rush.. Yahoo !!!!!! Reflex Action Performed Succesfully :-) . bratikaamuraa devudaa!!!

My karma / Naa kharma -2 :

This guy who was driving the car kept his hand out of the window and gave a tap on his lit cigarete. No prizes for guessing who was there to receive the byproduct i.e., ash. The ash found some good magnetic flux around me and it flew towards me freely,unobstructedly. One must have a very high Spontaneity Factor which usually only Ninjas possess to emerge succesfull in this kind of escaping . Like the snow on trees in kashmir,the ash settled on my face all over. If 'beautiful' is the adjective which describes the case snow-on-trees ,"Ugly" is the best fitted word for the case ash-on-my-face :-( .

My karma / Naa kharma -3

Another day... I was on my bike at 50-60 kmph speed . All of a sudden , something like an asteroid or comet flashed and I found it coming towards me. I just had to stop my bike so that it wouldnt hit me..Few seconds later ..the shock subsided ... and i looked at it. It was not an asteroid or meteoroid as i feared .It was just a squashed frooti packet . Somebody threw from a moving bus. verrrrrry goodddddd :P

Dont ask me what i thought of the flying banana peel(thrown from a bus). That should be experienced personally how you figure that peel as when it suddenly flashes before your eyes.It will give you enough experience to travel to other galaxies in the future . Buena suerte future astronauts !!! :-D

Many....who travel in cars, buses, bikes.......many do these harrowing activities.Forget about civic sense ... we dont find even common sense.

Somebody truly said .."common sense is not so common in this world"

Thats all for now folks. adios.

P.S: Dedicated to all those who faced these kind of situations :-)

New New-Year Experience

If your question is "which stupid will travel in a bus on 31st night?".. then the answer will be " Kranthi.. kranthi... kranthi"... Yes....i was travelling that night(Bang to Hyd). .I booked ticket online and my seat number was 14 which would make a point that there were 13 other bakras who topped the list(No offense meant :-) )... and when I boarded the bus i found the whole bus full :-) ... my kinda people :-)

31st night 11 45 pm . I was watching in my ipod the last scenes of the movie "The Shawshank Redemption", ‘when Red finds the letter Andy kept for him under a tree’ ’when Red boards the bus to meet Andy’ 'when Red smiles looking at Andy walking on shore' again and again when somebody from the back seat went to the driver lurching in the aisle of the fast moving volvo bus.I thought he wanted a break as i saw him having tin beer when the bus stopped last time.But i was proved wrong when he went back to his friends....i overheard them( they were discussing loudly).Actually, they were planning something to welcome new year and the driver told him that if he(driver) could find some open area he would stop the vehicle. After that brief distraction , I again got myself buried in my world of ipod watching the movie.

The driver kept his word and stopped the bus exactly at 12 midnight. The guys from the back seat got down and asked all the passengers to get down. A few , including me obeyed happily and got down contemplating a new never-before-experience.A few were already snoring..I could easily see the expressions " new year? " "so whatttt?" "who cares ..?" on their sleeping faces.

I got down.....Breezy cold night.... and it was almost a full moon that night. In my patented words its like “ vennela kurustunnattu’ ;-) .The guys lit the candles ,cut the cake ,gave us slices.Looking at the candles glowing in a circle on the cake in the moonlight was beautiful. " Candle-light.In the Moon-light.Its a Delight".(shaayari???..wah wah!!! :P ) We wished each other happy new year and some took snaps in their cameras and phones.The phone which i had at that time didnt have a camera.bad luck. I could not capture any of those moments....but no problem...my heart wont allow my mind to forget that beautiful experience. A few minutes later ... we got back on to the bus... they started giving cakes to the passengers who woke up.When one girl was offered cake she said "nahi..nahin..ismey anda hotha hi" :-) .Poor girl. I wished the elderly person in sweater sitting beside me,”happy new year sir” and we shook hands.

Really a different experience. New experience. Wonderful experience. Celebrating under the sky with unknown people .Beautiful !!!! What say???
