Exams are stupid. My junior college is stupider.

It may be one of the stupidest places in the whole of Bangalore.
So, I had my physics practical exams the other day, and the experiment I was given was the simplest of all, Vernier calipers. I finished my experiment in about half an hours time and submitted my exam sheet and gave her a demonstration of the whole experiment.
She stops me, and asks me the difference between length and breadth. I told her, "the longer side's the length and the smaller side's the breadth". She erupts into a fit of anger and starts to randomly yell at me and draws the attention of the so-called-obedient classmates of mine who just wait to catch up on any kind of gossip that flies by. She then tells me the same old thing that she says to every other student, "You students have a lot of attitude these days". I mean seriously lady? What's the connection between dimensions of a wooden block and student attitude?. She continues, "The shorter side is the length. Don't you have some kind of common sense? Look at your hair, so ugly, tie it up. Blah blah blah". Now, this is where she crossed her lines. NOBODY talks about my hair the way she did and to me, my hair is my prized possession. Heck, every girl's prized possession is her hair. The lady was not stupid, she was STOOPID with two Os. My "physics" lab invigilator doesn't even know the freaking difference between length and breadth of a wooden block.
What a weird, weird world.

Two people..

It’s been a crazy couple of days.
It’s amazing how this one person can drive you so insane. So insane, that you find yourself incredibly restless for no apparent reason. That’s what makes a teenager’s life. Her folks yelling all the time, pms, friendship problems and top of that, boy problems.
It’s weird how things fall apart, no matter how careful you are while building it.
But I guess, if she loved him, she’d let him move on. But she’s not strong enough to let go.
What if he’s built a wall to keep her from even, consoling him?
She’s isn’t the one that trudges. She’d built walls too. To keep him from getting to her again. To prevent herself from trusting him and believing him. To prevent herself from forgiving him.
But he broke down the walls with such ease. He did it all over again. Is that what this is about? Going round in circles?
And just when she thinks everything’s perfect, it all comes crashing down. But that person’s there for you. He consoles you and breaks your heart at the same time. She hates him. She loves him. She cannot live without him.
She’s the craziest he’s ever come across. She has never felt this way before about a person. They fight like they’re married. But, somewhere in the corner of her heart, she knows he won’t leave her.
Eyes of jealousy burn with fury around them.
They still love each other,
And the world’s the same.

has anybody ever wondered how big the universe is?

Point #1: All of us are aware of the communal problem and how people are reacting to few things that are being made into issues. We always worry about what religion the person is from rather than his soul. We go about the society letting people know where we stand. But how does that really matter? I really don't understand!
Point #2: when we were lil' kids, we would accidentally kill ants. Has anybody ever wondered how big the universe is? Our solar system itself is "INVISIBLE" compared to the entire universe. Imagine where we stand from that perspective. We're not even close to the size of ants. How long would it take for something out there to kill us?
My whole point: We should learn to live everyday like its our last. There is really no point in writing a future when you're not really sure if there's going to be a tomorrow. Eat your dessert first. Do the things you love. Why bother about anything else? When you die, people will address you as a dead person. Not with your religion. The important thing out of it all is being together.. with the people we love. The most important thing is humanity. It doesn't matter what people think when you know you're doing the right thing. Its time to stand up for what's right. Its time to stand up for humanity. Do your bit :)

together

I remember how we used to laugh,
Laughter always came from the heart
But now it’s gone, and everything’s tough
I think its time we got to a start

And we’ll get through the awful days
Hand in hand, we’ll make a way,
Fighting for love and all that’s right
Music making it sweet and gay

Let’s let our imaginations go wild,
Let’s find a way to make it fine
When everything’s against the tender and mild
Let’s not fight about the “yours and mine”

And in the night, we’ll travel far
Staring at the sky, listening to a howl
Wishing upon a shooting star
We’ll make it through without a fall

And then the sunlight hit the green
Shining high and scattering light
Rejoicing and removing the bitter screen
Taking us to a greater height

The laughter’s back in every way
Happy and light, merry and sweet
I told you we’ll make it; I told you I’ll stay
Together we can conquer the greatest feat
