.......seasons........
















My grandpa

He gets confused sometimes...... Sometimes between the information stored in his mind.

I remember he once asked my tauji (dad's elder bro) about the fees of engg colleges.When asked for whom, he replied for himself........


I was sitting in my room, in pilani. I could feel the lovely breeze blowing into my room from the tiny window and the rustles as though they were touching a wind chime and forcing it to make that pleasing sound of it,

when suddenly a name flashed on my mobile screen.


It was 'home calling'. I picked it up, all excited as i am always when talking back home. This time mum had a news different from our everyday talk. Bauji was diagnosed with Dementia....... i guess....... as it is called, wherein the information in the mind gets all mingled up.

He gets confused with time. With morning and night. Gets ready to take a bath at any odd time of the day, saying it is morning. Wants to go out for a morning walk at one in the night.


He likes playing, playing with things, as if he's gone back to his childhood days......He behaves like an 80 year old but he likes to take the route which a child would take when walking,

like around a car and coming back, and tapping his walking stick here n there........


but ..........that makes me love him more........all the more..........

i got my first job!!!!!!!!!!


i made my first job today -- 6th june

it was morning when my phone rang. It was bansal sir calling.......and it was a job call.
An official appointment letter was right there waiting for me......
Luck had already arrived in my life........the day before............ :)

MY FIRST EVER JOB.....

A full time 9 to 5 job and i am being paid for it. 5000 for a month, working as a teaching assistant for correction of copies n invigilation etc.

Its a different experience looking at student life from a teacher's point of view.
I sit in the faculty staff room, drink the tea that is meant for the faculty (that is me btw......... ahem.......)
and use the staff loo ...... hehe.


For the first time i came to know that the staff room is not a dry place as it looks like from outside.
I knew that students make fun of teachers.... atleast i used to do that.....
but i never knew that teachers make twice as much fun of students.
The staff room bursts out with laughter everytime a student leaves after asking a 'silly' doubt which we all pretended as if it was very genuine when he was inside asking the doubt to a teacher.

Getting such an opportunity for a 12th pass is a real big thing.
Mom n dad were really happy seeing their daughter taste the fruit of hard earned money after shedding of a lot of sweat and travelling in a tempo for 1 hour everyday, forth and back.

Its fun reading the things students write and the way they try to bluff, especially in questions that need proofs.
A student wrote in his answer sheet, after not being able to solve a question..........
"sorry sir, but the problem lies in application...... you are teaching very good but i am not studying"

:) :D
