Po'u'nd Bath..

"Tujhe Pound(Pond) main jana hai kya, warna chup baith".. The most common talked about topic in Building 8...

I always wondered how lovely it is to live with frens, but then there are always attached some cons to live together..

You need to adjust to many things, need to listen to things which according to you are tantrums and for the other person are the most logical things... And moreover you're always feared you might land up in Pond...

Well, when'ever some one names "You wanna go to Pond", my subconscious mind shows me a picture all the time.. A man standing at the window and another poor man peeping out of pond with a Lotus Leaf on his head and the croaking green frog being the cherry on the cake.

And then that man dust away his hands, giving a deadly look to the one in the pond..

I dun know if my imagination will ever come true, or even if it comes true, where will I be at that time.. Probably i will be the man in the pond...

Dun speak loud, He's around...

And if you dun listen, he'll throw you in the 'pound'

You know he's back when the silence is profound..

Dun dare come out or, he'll throw you in the 'pound'

If you feel the pressure, go pee in the ground..

but dun dare knock, he'll throw you in the 'pound'

Pls rush to your windows, when you hear splash sound..

I tried a lot, but still he threw me in the 'pound'

VRS - Story behind the scenes :)

Hey "Shaitan".. the pronunciation my name got after coming to Germany.. I heard a German fren calling from inside the class, "Do u know, I think you'll have to study VRS because a guy talked to Mr. Dessloch & he said you can't just take 1 theory course". And I was left dumbstruck there with already 4 lectures missed for VRS.. Well i had to gather my morale cos there was no other option..

And i reached home searching for (at that time) "Fat - Immer" on yahoo(she keeps on changing names every fortnight)..

ME: "Fatiiii.. I have to take VRS :("

Fati: "WTF. How come so late??"

ME : "blah blah blah (dessloch story)"

Fati : "Ach so, C'mon its not a problem. Moreover you can join us in the study group, where we plan to study together.. I mean study from Taslim.. :)"

ME: "Are you sure i can join, cos I dun know any 1 other than you , nune & Edi??"

Fati: "Yeah yeah sure.. NP"

And this is the way i became part of group, famous in all the students who come to Alcatraz study room. Famous or notorious i think people outside group can tell better :)

And slowly started the journey of learning every Sunday. With 60% talks , 10% eating & 20 % studying & 10% times sparring matches between Prof. Anh & Prof. Taslim.

With half of others wondering what they're talkin about n rest half philanthropic people tryin to make them quiet, thinking of other poor people studyin at same time in study room.

And then chapters by chapters & Exercises on Exercises followed. Every week a new alien language came. Till BDD's, people still used to have a blur idea on what's going on but then came aliens named kripke, mu, omega & their king temporal.. which left every body wondering after each lecture what happened in past 1.5 hrs.. But still there was a kind of belief in mind, "Its ok. If I dint get it here.. Taslim is dere"

And am happy that at end of it , we all were part of that alien culture. We all eventually found kinship with Temporals , mu & omega's.. But some thing called Monadic from Mars just came & went without making any mark.

And along with growing size of these alien ghosts, a certain things were also changing..

Sasha had an angel named 'Tara' in his life..

Fati's named changed from "Fat - Immer" -> "Fatty" -> "Fati Apa" -> "Stupid" -> "Indonesian

Shepherd"...

Arvind got promoted from being a lackluster appearance to being the moderator of the group..

During the end days Gabriel's appearance in the group began to increase.. And last but not least

the growing speculation for the allegedly the couple of our group on whether they're couple or not :)

And finally the exam was over (with me almost pissing in my pants during exam) , came the special party, which gave a hint that before a few months we started from knowing each other's names to being friends / atleast more than just knowing each other's name...

And in the end I'd like to thank you all for your lovely contribution..

Arvind - For being a strict moderator :)

Prof Anh - for teaching us in his unique style..

Caroline - Your best contribution was the brownies & desserts during the class & party :)

Vi & Wan Ai - "Food & fruit suppliers.. And always ready to take difficult topics together :)"
