Yes, I know its probably because I'm neither here nor there right now, that my mind is flooded with memories of school days. Perhaps its the fact that I am stepping into the unknown, and I'm trying desperately to hold on to something, anything, thats familiar.
Whatever it is, I hope a good healthy swig of reminiscence does the trick, so here goes.
We've had our share of clowns in our class. You know the type don't you? I'm referring to the ones who will insist that they are intrigued by that essay competition entitled "My Daddy is the Best", and will make you stand in front of the board for 15 minutes, screeching bloody murder if you try to rub it off.
They're also a part of the "hyuk hyuk" gang. This is a close knit group that comes up with jokes that make you want to rip off your hand just so that you'll have something to throw at them.
To quote a few memorable ones(courtesy of paddy)
Q. Why is steady current holy?
A. It is st. eddy current
Q. Why is a current carrying conductor expensive?
A. It comes with a BIL
The voice of our class was Bk, a guy who gets a thrill out of bellowing notes from Pradeeps, while the class politely requests that he please fall off a bulding, or have the book stuffed down his throat.
Timepass for our class? Hand tennis of course! Jumping over desks, and sometimes even people, as we rushed to the back, to fiercely fight for our turns, leaving a few poor souls the job of 'watchman'. Scrambling back to our places the minute a warning was shouted, and cursing and planning grotesque deaths for the sadistic smart alecs who'd give false alarms.
DumbC matches, feeding the other team names like "Shakespeare and Frankensteins High School reunion" and "Lactocalamine lotion", which to their credit they did successfully act out, even if they didn't realise that we made them up.
The Annual Day, the culturals, a lot of hard work, a lot of mishaps, but both turned out to be pretty darn good in the end.
I'm left wondering how the time flew by so quickly. It seems like I entered our 11th classroom for the first time just yesterday, and now its all over.
But hey, thanks for the memories.
And what do you know?! I do feel better now.

And close knit group what ? There was only two of us ;-)
oh and that dumc thing, we take it as a testimony to the fact that we are amazing. Come on, id like to see anyone else get "Calamine lotion" or "Tinker something manequin somebody" within 30 seconds.
And what was that movie you guys were thadvifying over ? hoo boy, you guys were bad :D
Paddyman, being dumb was one thing the three of them had down pat. Don't insult that na..
Hyuk! Hyuk!
Sigh.. I remember school days.. And NOT with fond nostalgia.. :P
Aaagh! Feelings feelings...just when I thought i was getting over being school-sick!
And "My daddy is the best"? How come I don't remember that?
oye!! u too orey the feelings abt school n all...just when all bloggers of the class are over n done with flooding their blogs with it!! :)
and what essay?? :O
@rushi:v knew that all that junk was ..junk.v were humouring them.
@soumi:blame that calamine stuff on our respected sk(our very own courier service)those jokes took up most of our phy classes,very productive..it was godzilla n frankenstien.and oh,what on earth am i doing here when i have bitsat in 2 hours time???
rushi,it was tinker tailor soldier spy.
@soumi:remember butch cassidy n the sundance kid,u were late 4 pracs cos of that:o)u guys took what an hour or so?
@paddy and ninju
tinker tailor soldier spy was something WE got in hindu and we did it awesomely! ninju, we took a minute to be exact for butch cassidy, so pulugaadhe!
@suze
u kno they have a word for the sort o thing ur doing? its called jaalra! grrrrr!
@me and s
hey i didnt really get a chance to break into woeful poems and stuff then remember? i didnt have a blog! so pls excuse the slight delay:)
@ninju again
maybe u and paddy shud discuss who comments wat, cos i think paddy already admitted that he fell for the calamine lotion thing when u came along and tried to save grace:)
hey nice post!! how can we forget the way they fell for calamine lotion!! it was terrific!! oh and it was Shakespeare and Frankensteins High School reunion! Not godzilla..hey we wud know better cos we created it! : )
we didnt "fall" for calamine lotion. You desperate dumbos made up wierd stuff but we got them all. That proves we are great - that is what i was trying to point out.
Oh and yeah i remember butch cassidy ! it was when they were preparing for the intras right(which we should have rightfully won if it werent for..circumstances). Thats why you guys got mad and came up with calamine lotion and stuff.
And yeah, sk thought it was a movie, not us.(not anon2, vijay adi)
Oh and hehe you didnt say what I was doing while you stupidly stood there waiting for me to copy down the "My daddy is the best" thing ! Shall i mention it for you ? ;-D
and ninju, i think we deserve a treat for helping everyone survive "one and a half hours of what in the future will be known as the silence pleeassssee effect". Shall we ask for a..ferrari ? All these DUMB charades "champs" can chip in to get us one.
@nam
i dont think ive done our dumb c team credit, but hey, im sure one post can be dedicated to that:) yea we rocked man
@paddy
wow your comments are almost as long as my posts! and NO, ur not allowed
i remember u guys in hindu.how u struggled with captain correli's mandolin.sitter:-)the point is v were so good u had 2 make up stuff to even stand the slightest chance,my sympathies..butch cassidy was a disaster,admit n i shall not press the point.u guys went rushing past the phy lab praying 2 survive the wrath of chem teacher.btw sk is every conmans dream project.oh n lead me 2 my ferrari,red is my fav color,the class owes us,bigtime
That was an awesome down memory lane thing..I could totally relate..Hand tennis eh? Yeah,well, we had our very own hand cricket game in class too...We truly evolved from "Pen game" which was all rage back in 4th std.:D:D
BTW, wound up here from S' blog..she's an awesome PR manager isn't she?=D
@ninju
u kno its funny how we always seemed to have struggled according to u guys, yet we won an awful lot:)
@hamsini
thanks:) and yep, that she is!
Sigh!!!! i am very sure i was bugging someone when you were playing this game......cant remember who...but knowing myself thats what i would have been doing....was it s or vara
@anin
by game u mean hand tennis or dumc?
@soumi
i hope that you read what i said though !
@ninju
and did you forget a midsummer night's dream ? I forgot, THIS was the one when they were preparing for intras. And i think the blue ferrari is cooler. But a red is fine for me i guess...
What in the world is Hyuk Hyuk s'possed to me

@la
"Hyuk Hyuk" is the way the members of the gang laugh and slap their thighs once they're done with the..um..jokes:)

Nor brought too long a day
But now, I often wish the night
