An Unnoticed Jem

His face always hidden in the crowd
His voice always faded in the crowd
His actions always benefited the crowd
His praise always hidden from the crowd.

His action speaks for him in the world.
His speech has no importance in the world
His existence is even unknown to the world
His demise does not bother the world.

His actions remain in anonymity
His name becomes an unknown myth
His friends are his soul and body
He is always there for everybody.

If you meet such a person in your life
Go forward and make him a part of your life
Cause he will surprise you if he may
Be the end of all your problems and dismay.

The Old Farmhouse

The picture now hangs unnoticed on the wall.
Once proud of itself and stood so tall.
But now memory has faded and wiped it away.
The structure once lively now stands in dismay.

My entire childhood has its presence here
I can still hear the laugh and crying tears.
The door still opens itself for me till day
I wish it could just be another way.

People are fragile and so are memories
Who are you? Have become a common ceremony.
Profits and business have made us distant
Blood now demands blood without hesitance.

The sunlight hauls its way through its wooden windows
The draperies the silverware all now widowed.
The structure trembles but still holds itself
Like a weak grandparent but still makes us feel its presence.

But it will be someone other's the next day.
And he will dismantle it all for he may
Rebuild this into a grand hotel full of guests.
Oh my old farmhouse, may you finally rest.

Planet Earth's Lullaby

https://flic.kr/p/96iy6H

Oh! sweet summer rain
do come again.
to quench my thirsty thirst
and fill me up again.

You make me so happy
like gifting a present.
and my mouth thank you by
shaping it like moon crescent.

Look here look there
the seeds are sprouting up.
the sun's gonna kiss their cheeks
and help them to grow up.

You'r like me my father
providing me shade.
cooling me down whenever
they make me a hot head.

They need to understand
that this planet is their home.
and think just a little
and then act on their own.

In the wrong boots!

My childhood dream was one of a kind
to be the king and savior of mankind
becoming rich and famous was my aim
i didn't know that it took struggle and pain.

When i was 15 my parents had me called
to ask me my plans for the future to come.
I said i want to be a kind human being.
'Shut up' son, you'r now a grown human being.

The society had fixed my career
to what i was to fulfill
but never asked me what i wanted
cause they say it's their good will.

I wanted to ask them what if
a carpenter was to garden the lawn
or a plumber to treat a man
or the sun to make an omelette
even if they can-not and never can.

But i couldn't go my way
or i would be an outcast
the society had rules to follow
and those you can't surpass.

Now i am everything they wanted me to become
suited booted warrior with a good source of income.
achievement is just a delusion of materialism
i am in the wrong boots of social fanaticism

We need not speak

I hear you loud and clear

Oh my darling, Oh my dear

In your silence your heart shall speak

To communicate, we need not speak.

Your eyes reflect your thoughts

Your body presents those thoughts

Your smile beautifies it even more

We need not speak any more.

Open your mouth, but not to speak

But to kiss me my love, so that our souls meet

And to keep your heart open for my words dear

we need not speak anymore.

Oh my darling, Oh my dear.

You were there when nobody was!

When i read you

I am in another world,

with you by my side

and you characters in my mind.

When virtual becomes real,

I seem to forget

I looked at the clock five minutes ago

now when i look, it’s too late.

I scream when i read you

I kiss when i read you

I hug you sometimes so tight

and even sometimes fight.

You were in another place it seems,

waiting for me coming in my dreams.

pleading me to take you with me

so that you could make me feel.

Ignore the grammar which say’s you’r a thing

you are my best friend, better than human being.

You never speak back when i throw you away.

Cause you are in always in my heart, even when you’r away.

Till death do us apart!

Courtesy of Flicker

We fought so hard,
We loved so hard.
But still till death,
You cannot do us apart.

You smile with me,
You cry with me.
Like two faces of
A single soul, a single entity.

We were never compatible
Nor we were each other's choice.
But our destiny has intertwined.
It's what's the God's choice.

So whatever people might say,
We will live, we will scramble.
Because we are made for each-other.
And that's something,
I don't want to gamble.

A small note from myself:

If you liked my poem. Please share on twitter/facebook/G+. It helps me a lot to grow my audience.

Thank you.

Its not worth acting cool that you cool down permanently. Please don't smoke.

thanks to: Flickr

Being Cool might be the most important thing in one's teenage life. It's just like a status which gives us the credibility and potential to walk up to any girl and ask out on a date or just pomp our dominance in front of our friends and grow up being the leader of a group. You, me and hell all of us have once tried to act cool to impress our friends and then take a quick glance to see if some girl is impressed by our act. Now this observation, is spontaneous and if there is a girl nearby and she smiles, (maybe on some other joke but not your's) you still get a moral confidence of keep on doing what you are doing.

I remember from my school days that wearing branded clothes and having an awesome, jaw-dropping and somewhat unique hairstyle was considered a magnet to attract girls. And god bless those TV commercials that convinced the boys of my age-group that if you put on yourself a shit-load of deodorant, girls would drop from heaven for you. Wonderful!

I remember once getting a extreme short haircut by trimming off my sides and back completely and keeping the middle hair about 6cm long. It took me whole 3 months to grow but it was very popular, at-lest on YouTube as it got over 500k views. The next day when i went to school, i became a laughing stock. Suddenly I became the most popular student, but in a rather disgusting way. Students from class 6-12 would come and take a selfie with me. I even had a hashtag of my own. 
#Thebaldobesebeauty.

I never wanted to be popular that way, but it is an example that acting too cool might land you in some serious trouble. In hindi, we call it 'beizzati' and in Mumbai tapori language, we call it 'watt lagna'.

So why all this stuff? Well actually I recently faced an enormous emotional turmoil few days ago when I saw a kid in my neighborhood die horridly. Such a death may occur to no-one. He died to lung cancer. Why? 
Because he was smoking the hell out since he turned 17. Too bad he didn't even complete his 21st birthday.

He was a good writer. Grade A category student who fell in to the wrong peer circle. Wanted to write a novel but couldn't write nothing more than a diary entry during his last few days before his abode.
Surprising thing is that he handed me this diary a week before he took his last breath and only a couple of days ago while scrambling through my enormous pile of junk on my study table I came across this single entry in a whole new leather wrapped brown corporate diary. Probably a gift from his father's office who is employed at a local gas booking agency. 

In the front blank page it was written with bold pen:

 " Please do me a favor and share my story to some-one in need"  

So let me share with you this excerpt. Just before starting one heart-touching fact that the cover of the dairy has a very beautiful picture quoting:

Life is to be measured in the deeds we do in this life. You are never reincarnated, it's just a story told to hide your true potential just like a blemish hides your beauty beneath. Living a simple life and dying a peaceful death is only in the fate of the most lucky ones.

November 2                                                                                                11:45 pm

I have been trying to sleep for the last couple of hours but  as soon as i close my eyes, I see my end near. This is not any-one's fault but mine. I can see dark clouds circling around me tightening its grip around me and grasping me to sweep me away with its wrath of thunder and rain. I can bet that my parents are still awake looking at the night sky to wish for my life on seeing any falling star. Even though i don't turn back, my mother keeps coming back every half and hour to see a glimpse of me. Maybe she just wants to cherish my presence in the house while she still can. Even my father, an atheist have turned to gods for my life. Once as strong as a mountain and heart of a lion, even i can see tears roll down his cheeks while staring through the window into the open sky sitting in his armchair.

To define my condition, I am suffering from lung congestion due to inflammation of my lung alveoli and severe bronchial damage. 

It all started when i joined my spoken English classes back in summers of 2010. I got a A plus grade in my high school exam and I opted for literature rather than science stream like everyone else in my class. It was surely a decision I made on my own but my father convinced me to focus on my goals and take my own decisions if I was fully confident. During my first year I made a few friends for which i regret till date. May god never give anyone such friends. But there is nothing to repent now. The damage has already been done. The gong has already been rung. 

We became very intimate as we shared a common mentality. Their names were Rajesh and Samson. Samson was a NRI who came to study in India. Both were from well off families and respectable one's too. Rajesh is behind the bars as of now, and Samson is suffering from AIDS. Namita, a member of our group is currently in a Drug Addiction Cure center. We doomed ourselves with our own hands. 

Once when on a trip to Shimla, our car broke down in the middle of the night and we had no option but park our cars beside the road and set up camp there. Namita was a strong boyish girl back then. Confident, inspiring and with leadership qualities. She was the leader of our group. It was a cold night and we were literally freezing. We had put on all our clothes but the cold was way beyond our wildest dreams. It was then Samson lit on a cigarette and offered it to me. I had never smoked before but that day I took a puff of it as my bones were shaking because of the cold. I never knew that it was the beginning of the end. Rajesh was an alcoholic and smoker. Namita had a bad habit of taking drugs. She took steroid tablets to boost her physique. She even used to do weed and marijuana to get high. She was a party girl. Her life aim was to party all day and night and live her life according to her 'The Boy's Life'. I can bet that's not how an average boy lives.

After coming back from that trip, things began to fall. I remember that I used to stop at every cigarette corner and smoke atleast 4 cigarettes a day. The once bright face of me started to change. I developed dark spots beneath my eyes. My teeth became dis-oriented. 

Once my father when coming back from work saw me, smoking at the corner avenue with my friends. Namita was smoking weed and one of her companions was taking drugs intravenously. She was very depressed as she has no money left with her to buy drugs. She had a bad fight with her parents. Samson's parent's had also scolded him over skype yesterday night because of his dropping grades. In rage and anger he smashed his laptop on the glass-table and cut his hand badly. I was busy taking a sniff from a piece of hashish when my father came out of no-where and slapped me hard. I never saw it coming. He gripped my hand and dragged me back to the back seat of the car and pushed me in. He was very mad at me. Even my mother who had never raised her hands upon me joined my father to slap me up. 

I was so frustrated and the insult in my front of my friends had hurt my ego so much that I ran out of the house and rammed the door behind. I went up to Samson. He was still smoking with Rajat. Namita had left. 

I was fussing about in anger when he told me he had an idea to calm down my mind. He told me to hop on his Harley Davidson bike and raced off towards north. I asked him where we were going but he kept saying all the way that we were headed towards paradise. He was racing the bike at such speeds that if I was in my normal conscience like before would have freaked out. But the hashish had taken it's toll and it made me euphoric and I couldn't feel nothing.

He took me to the red light area. He was a sexist and used to indulge in sexual act with prostitutes without protection. It was his daily habit. Even though they tried to seduce me but I had this much control me that I ran out of that place. It pissed Samson though. 

It was the new year party of 2013 and we were waiting for Rajat at the Club, when news came that Rajat was arrested for harassing a couple and beating up the husband and even injuring the pregnant wife. I was thankful to god that the baby was OK or I couldn't live with it.

A few days later Namita was busted too buying drugs from a dealer. Her parents were begging the police officer to leave her but she had committed a crime and she was to be punished. She was addicted to such a level that she didn't even realize that she was in Jail. She begged the police officer to give her a single doze of liquid heroine. She even begged and cried for a bottle of paint thinner. That look on her face I can never forget. She was later sent to a Drug Addiction Cure Center.

Back in March, Samson was busted in a raid by the police. Even though his parents managed to bail him he was already dead. He was found HIV positive while being diagnosed for severe body pain and fatigue.

Hell had befall us and I somewhere in my heart knew that my end was also near. Late of September I was admitted to the hospital one night due to severe chest pain and blood through my mouth when I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The doctor told me that I had only a few days left and there was nothing I could do. 

I used to wake up early mornings thinking that it was all a bad dream but what you do in this life affects you and your loved ones. I used to lock the door and cry and cry. Bang my head on the door, trying to confess for my sins but the arrow had already left the bow. Nothing was to be done.

On November 1st I was admitted to the ICU and undergone a lung surgery but the doctors weren't sure about what was to come. Maybe I will live another year or I will die tomorrow there is nothing I can say. Maybe i won't be able to see the sunlight and this hospital ward is the last of the world I see. I just want to die happily with my parents beside me. That's all I wish.

All this I had done for what. To impress girls, try acting like a cool dude.

Take a dying man's word if you may

PLEASE DO-NOT SMOKE.

He died on November 10th. Five days before his 21st birthday.

Can Yellow Claw not be hardcore? - Till It Hurts Ft. Ayden Review

All rights reserved to @Spinnin TV

Do you like hardcore? Do you like hip-hop and gangsta but still don't want that softness of house music, then you have to be a trap lover like me.

I got into the trap genre during the late 2011's and after 3 years and 5 months I can say this genre is just kick-ass.

Trap is related with twerking and obscene dancing. That's what most people say but you can't listen to trap without being dirty right? It will get you on your feet.

If you are into trap then I am sure you must have heard about Yellow Claw. They are one of the pioneers of modern EDM trap and every single they release makes you shake. 

So turn up your volume and let the bass consume you or just let the speakers blow cause its the new single from yellow claw featuring an uber chilling vocal from Ayden.

The songs kicks off with a nice synth and 808 snares. Then once the vocal kicks in you can just close your eyes and imagine that you are in a big auditorium in a music festival and clapping so hard that you just forget what's happening.

Then as the songs starts to build-up the bass kicks in, the vocals intensify and then comes the snare roll and the drop. And what a drop it is. Though it is not like traditional yellow claw style but then when the lead kicks in you can't just stop shaking your goddamn head.

The voice of Ayden in some parts sounds like that of Katy Perry's but a more powerful one. You also have a small part of rap but it is not that great. Kind of like what Lil John does in turn down for what and Bend Ova.

Its still not available in the iTunes store but its for sure that once it hits the stores, it'll make a mark of its town. 

They also performed this song in their @Mysteryland set and see for yourself how the crowd went crazy.

The New Girl In Class Ep. 9 - I almost got kissed

By Dark164 @ Deviantart.com

Remember those old days when there was some romantic movie going on and the hero and heroine met after a lot of tragedies and then they were about to kiss in a garden and then the bush comes up guarding their lip-lock. And if you are into the old hindi movies they just turn back away from the camera. Disgusting!

Hey, I'm not being a pervert or acting like one. I also have a girlfriend, well kind of and i was also kissed recently....well, almost but that is a great advancement too. 

So let me take you back in time. Hey wait! I'm not telling you to go back into prehistoric times but yeah a couple of days might just hit the chords. 

December 25 was the day when i asked Jasleen out for a date and unfathomably she accepted the proposal. I tried hard to not act like I'm shocked or something. So with my looks all changed, new shoes, new dress and a huge load of cologne and some peppermint in my mouth i set off to pick-up Jasleen from her hostel.

About my wardrobe if you ask, I put on a brand new henley shirt from pepe jeans and a black slim-fit jeans from Levis and put on a pair of brand new nike sneakers all sponsored by my father's money which I picked up to buy books and stuff. It's not that I am not feeling guilty or something but yeah when he finds it out he's gonna get really pissed on me and I'll be screwed for sure.

I reached the hostel to find out that she was waiting for me near the gate along with some of her friends who were constantly smiling like I was helping her flee and was gonna marry her later. Oh god! The warden was not there as she had gone out for a day and most of the students had gone home as it was holidays so the hostel was almost empty. 

" I thought you'd come on a sexy bike to pick me up and then say 'hop on baby' " said Jasleen.

" I think it'd be rather safe if we go by auto. Why you wanted to be treated like that? " I asked.

She smiled and then, we walked towards the auto stand. On the way, she was looking down and smiling, not like the 'Bahu' smiling on seeing her husband who is coming back after 6 months from job and then you get to finally spend a good time with him and when he goes away and then comes back the next season, you welcome him with his successors on your lap. COUGH!!

She looked confident enough and I was acting somewhat weird I think. Earlier when i used to take an evening walk in the park, I would see couples walking holding their hands together and the people who passed by surely bent in to see the girl's face at-least once. Hell, i sure felt i had all eyes on me.

"You boys must feel really proud by impressing a girl right?"

"what?"

"yeah, impress a girl, take her out, show her off in front of your friends and then take advantage of her emotions and then throw them off like a rug sac. Very manly of-course"

"No, I didn't mean anything like that. Its just i...i...."

"Don't lie, you wanna share the bed with me, as in the end it's all about showing the strength of your dong"

"No, I'm not like that. Don't misunderstand me. I really like you and want to know you better"

"So, you don't wanna have sex? Are you homo or impotent or do you have any side effects?"

We both were silent and then suddenly we burst out in laughter. Though I was shocked to see this side of her. But yeah, in the end you can't underestimate the power of femininity. 
To be honest, I was trying to hold her hand in mine the whole way.

We reached the auto-stand and then set-off for Dextro City Mall. I made a 3 way plan for the day:

1. Go to PVR and watch the latest romantic or emotional movies with her.
2. Have a snack at Cafe Coffee Day or McDonald's.
3. Return home after a long walk. (Hey i don't have the funds for a long drive) 

But, if everything went according to my plans, then i would become a millionaire till now. She was a whole other personality whom i thought she was. The girl who didn't talk to anyone in the class, only kept herself to her own matters and never interfered in other's work had now faded. This side of her was so vibrant that I couldn't take my eyes of her. She had her control on me. And no matter what people say about 'man-ego' I really loved being manipulated by her.

When I asked her if she wanted to see a romantic movie, she frowned and asked me frankly "Do you really have your balls at the right place"
I seriously didn't knew what to answer. 
"Let's watch Transformers"
"Your wish is my command MAM"

The more frank she became with me, the deeper i felt a passionate feeling of love for her. A funny little trivia i want to share with you all is that couples who walk in the mall with their hands held against each other may seem romantic. But it's a way of the Husband's to save their pocket from burning and their better half from entering and shopping expensive brands. 

At the ending scene of the movie, when the heroine kisses the boy after all the damn city has been destroyed by the robots, i tried to push my hand forward and grasp her hand on the seat slowly. I was trying to touch her palm with my smallest finger and when almost spontaneously she turned around and held my hand firmly and rest her head on my shoulders. It was so unbelievable that i couldn't guess what was going one for a couple of seconds. 

"Hey, don't act like a boy. Be a man, but you are too cute for a man. You can stay that way my fluffy uffy panda"

Later we had a snacks at CCD and McDonald's. I was somewhat happy that something went as planned.

It has been 3 days since the 25th and I still remember the last few moments of that day. It was around 10:30 at night when i dropped her off in front of her hostel. As it was Christmas, there were mistletoe placards around set up by the St.Laurence Episcopal community a 10 minutes walk distance place from the hostel due east.

Everything seemed to pause for a second, the silent cool breeze started to blow kissing her hair locks and teasing her by the neck. I was freezing too. For a split second, our eyes were glued to each other's sight. No movement, no hustle. I made the move towards her lips, she closed her eyes and let her face out. I could feel my heart pulsating rapidly than ever. Then suddenly she paused at some vicinity. She withdrew her face and then went towards her hostel entrance. I turned around and started walking back to my PG. 

Suddenly, she came back and kissed my ice-cold cheeks softly. It's nice to know you. I think I'm not ready for what you might be expecting from me.

I put my finger on her lips and hushed her.

I kept looking at her until the last glimpse of her shadow caste by the winter moon disappeared into the darkness.

The Key to HIV-AIDS may have finally been found.

Pic from Flickr by: Trygve Utstumo

The last decade have witnessed many advances in HIV-AIDS research and only last year, the hopes were high from a new vaccine developed by Finnish Biotech company FIT Biotech which was designed to lessen the viral load of the current patients affected from HIV. Though the vaccine is still undergoing test from Spring 2014 with collaboration of two European universities and American pharmaceuticals companies involving 1,000 patients but even if the drug proves effective, then still also it would takes at least another 5 years to be marketed and distributed. It is also claimed that this will be a cost effective solution for the infected ones. 

How does it works?

Basically it's a DNA vaccine that encodes the HIV proteins allowing the patients to produce T cells specifically against HIV. In theory it sounds similar like all the vaccines available earlier which were not 100% effective. With the company's patented GTU (Gene Transport Unit) the introduction of the vaccines would be easy with a very few side effects. 

Coupled with retro-viral drugs, this therapy is theoretically supposed to bring down HIV levels in the body so low that its symptoms would be masked. It maybe able to make it undetectable and also stop it's transmission allowing the patient to be sexually active once again but have to remain under medication otherwise the levels may rise again. Still it's all theoretical and the test results are yet to come. 

So whats the hope? Well here it is...

Patient Zero: The immune's

The journal Clinical Microbiology and Infection published a study on Tuesday detailing the phenomenon of a 'spontaneous cure' and the different ways it is replicated among HIV patients.

According to a research conducted on two HIV patients, the virus remained inactivated in these patient's cells as their genetic code had mutated in such a spontaneous evolution which the scientists call 'ENDOGENIZATION'. 

This mutation seems to have increased the levels of APOBEC enzyme which caused further mutation in the virus.

The researchers stated "We propose that HIV cure may occur through HIV endogenization in humans. These findings suggest that without therapeutic and prophylactic strategies, after several decades of HIV/host integration and millions of deaths, it is likely that that a few individuals might have endogenized and neutralized the virus and transmitted it to their progeny."

In a nutshell...

There are some people who can simply neutralize HIV within their body and such patients have been called 'elite controllers'. Though their numbers are estimated to be less than 1% of the infected.

Till now the medication was based on the methodology of removal of the virus from the body and kill it but now the new research focuses to turn the machinery of the virus against itself and find a cure internally. 

Though it may still take years for such medication to be marketed but the future sure seems bright.

A little knowledge about HIV:

Picture by NIAID@flicker.

HIV(Human Immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks the body's natural defense system. Without a strong immune the body has trouble fighting off disease. The virus and the infection both are called HIV.
HIV infects and destroys certain WBC called CD4+. If too many CD$+ cells are destroyed, the body cannot protect itself anymore. 
If the CD4+ cells count are less than 200 then the condition is called as AIDS. During this stage people get the cancers and infection that rarely occur in healthy people. 
But having HIV doesn't mean that you have AIDS. Even without treatment it can take upto 10-12 years for the first signs or symptoms to show up.

Symptoms:

• Swollen nymph nodes
• night sweats
• weight loss
• tiredness
• fever

How does it spread?

You can get HIV from contact with infected blood, semen, or vaginal fluids.

• Most people get the virus by having unprotected sex with someone who has HIV.
• Another common way of getting it is by sharing drug needles with someone who is infected with HIV.
• The virus can also be passed from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, birth, or breast-feeding.

HIV doesn't survive well outside the body. So it can't be spread by casual contact like kissing or sharing drinking glasses with an infected person.

How to prevent HIV from spreading:

• Use of condoms while having sexual intercourse with any unknown person.
• If you are on alcohol, be careful as these can make you forget about precautions.
• If mother is HIV positive during pregnancy then the child should be under treatment from birth and mother should be under medication during pregnancy. The HIV virus has the capability to cross the placenta and reach the foetus.
• Do not donate blood, semen or vaginal fluids.
• Do not donate organs and tell your sexual partner about your condition so that you both can be safe.
• Donot use used syringes, razor blades etc.
• Be alert and be careful. 

Being HIV + doesn't mean that you are going to die soon. Proper treatment and medication can let you live a healthy life. Always remember that go to doctor as soon as you fell something wrong and donot hesitate. Life is to be lived donot spoil it by listening other nonsense people.

The New Girl In Class Ep. 8 - From a Boy to a Man.

Transcending & transforming have always been in the root events of evolution or devolution. Either it can be transcending from an era of darkness towards enlightenment or sometimes an antipodal leap can be devastating and can cause a catastrophic calamity.

Sounds so heavy? I am just trying to bring out the Shakespeare in me.

Recently, I met Sourav at a wedding ceremony of a distant relative of mine that if asked about the relation in the form of a question in some bank entrance exam or public service commission exam then it would make the applicants scratch their head for a while. My main motive of going to a marriage with my parents is to please my tummy and give a small thanks-giving party to it for providing such valuable and constant service so that it doesn't get upset. Cause if it does then a lot of my time is spent in the toilet. Which I really don’t like.

While trying to load my mouth with 3 puris and halwa at once to check my limits I saw him standing at a distance alone with a glass of water in his hand. Lately, I have been into Sherlock series aired on BBC and have learned some detective tips from it for sure. I could judge by his clean and dried fingers and pinkish lips that he hadn't eaten anything. I knew he was back from his P.G as it was his holidays but he should have been eating like an anaconda as much as I knew him. The cuisine served in the marriage was an Indian and Vietnamese combo. The hot sauce and red juicy chicken curry made every attendant’s lips red and made their mouth burn. But he showed none of the symptoms. I walked close up to him to find out an amazing change in him. He was looking handsome as ever. His eyes reflected his inner spark, his obese body was now fat-less and toned. His face once round was now somewhat elongated and he had a goatee now. I saw some girls standing behind some staring at him and smiling among themselves which reminded me of how we would keep looking at girls in marriages.

I couldn't control my curiosity and finally I asked him if this sudden change was for some girl. He narrated me his whole story after which i couldn't just control laughing. I had something like this in my mind and wanted to blog about it. He stared narrating...

5th December

While reading an article about the art of manliness i found out that every article stressed on dressing the proper way. Grooming was a compulsory method to get a girl's attention. Dressing up the proper way reflects your character and it makes the basis of judgement that someone can make about you without even knowing you by your physique. Dressing like a man and not a boy is an important clause here. I once read an article that girls always try to find their father in their partners as he is the only man whom she could blindly trust and who would never break her heart. The problem was that her father was an orthodox Punjabi who wore kurta and lungi most of the time. Its amazing that such a classy and modern girl with such sense of fashion was a daughter of him. 

After spending 6 hours: 32minutes: 40 seconds researching about grooming i finally got up, grabbed my wallet and went straight to the supermarket. I took Rajat with me. He was an expert with hairstyles, waxes and perfumes and an expert always proves beneficial. My wallet was full of coupons and some cash. Earlier i got so many coupons but i didn't ever imagine in my dreams that i would be needing them to buy cosmetics. If my father would see me now he would be flabbergasted to know how a boy who only applied hair-oil was now applying pomade and serums to his hair. As soon as we got to the supermarket we took a lift to the cosmetics section and then just jumped on. I picked up a basket and Rajat started throwing items in it at an amazing speed. He was describing the products so fast that even the salesgirl standing there was attracted to him. He paused for a second but as i was in motion and i collided with him. He turned back and asked "what's your budget". I replied "Rs. 1000". He gave an evil smile and said "lets rob the house".

His expertise was not to be questioned. From shampoos to face-masks to creams to all stuffs he had the knowledge of every brand. In the pile of products in the basket, i saw a Kesh kala. I was about to sing 'surakshit kalev mere baal vasmol ne kiya kamal'. But i resisted. 

The basket was so heavy that it seemed like i almost dumped the basket at the cash counter. The counter girl was shocked for sure. The next day i went to an expensive salon and got a cool haircut called 'undercut'. The sides and back trimmed and spiky on the top. I was just hoping that my parents wouldn't come to visit me this month or a war was expected. I returned to the PG and took a shower and then shampooed my hair and then conditioned it. The next day in the morning before class Rajat made up my hair. When i entered the Institute i felt like all eyes were on me. I was walking with my spine straight up, the imported deo diffusing out my body, my face shining and my eyes gleaming with confidence. As soon as i entered the class everyone was so amazed that i saw some open mouths. I was feeling the power of confidence and that feel was just something different.

Every teacher that came to the class didn't recognize me and asked who the new boy was!

During a conversation with Jasleen, i couldn't stop myself from making cheesy comments. It made her blush for sure. Taking advantage of the situation i asked her out for a movie with me the next holiday. 

"Well it seems you are busy but I think you would love to go out for a movie with me, who knows you may really start to like me".

What? She agreed. Get ready boy. Next stop PVR and CCD.

5 Effective and Proven Ways To Not Freak Out To An Injection

I still remember those days when my parents would take me to the health center for vaccinations by pretending to take me to the park and when the doctor would try to give me the injection, i would scream and cry and once i even kicked a doctor in his face. The nurses would hold me trying to keep me steady and the stinging after the injection would just intensify my screaming so much that once i had a sore throat for about 2 weeks because of so much screaming. 

The doctors would make fun of me and say that even smaller kids than me would not cry. I had almost developed a phobia to syringes that i couldn't even stand their sight. I wondered when seeing movies how they would so simply pierce the needles deep into their veins and then take it out so simply without even an "OUCH".

Admit it that you still are afraid of injection till date. There is nothing wrong in being afraid and neither it is something to be ashamed of. I am too and perhaps much more than you. You can't get to overcome your fears in a day but here are some tricks with which i managed to not freak out and keep calm during injections:

1. Sing a Song Aloud!

This may seem a bit stupid and the doctor might feel that you are mental and scold you to keep steady but believe me this works. The main idea is to shift your attention away from the event which your are currently in. I remember when i was about 10 years old, and i got a TETANUS injection in my buttocks and it hurt me so bad that i just put on my pants somehow and ran away from the health center holding my 'bum' and crying on the streets of Nagpur. I was angry at my parents, the doctor and the staff there which held me like an untamed beast. It was about like 50 meters away i stopped. My buttocks were rounder than before because of the swelling and my fear was just acting like a catalyst to the pain. 

But the same TETANUS injection after 4 years after i cut my fingers on a rusted fence was better. I was singing aloud and all the patients in the waiting line and the nurses and staff were laughing. Let them laugh! It hurts less, and you feel better.

2. Talk about some sensitive topic with the doctor.

This might seem like a 'wtf' (fish) option but its proven. When you are debating on some controversial topic with someone who has the exactly opposite views, then you suddenly have an urge to prove the person in front of you wrong. That's human nature, to dominate yourself over others. You get excited, you get intensified and your voice becomes louder. Your body releases adrenaline and suddenly you get so euphoric that you don't even feel the syringe piercing your flesh. It'll be over in just a second. No pain. Though it may sting a bit later.

3. Think about something naughty!

'You know what i mean right?'. Teachers and Employers have often reported that students and even some adults get lost in their sexual dreams to such an extent that don't even hear the person in front of them who is screaming out like 'Godzilla'. Trends and cases like this have increased in the past decade much with online adult content and children getting to know how they were made a hell lot earlier. But you can use this to your advantage. This is not for everyone but according to a report 95% of the population of world have watched porn in some part of their lives. Sometimes you can just make your weaknesses your strongest asset. No personnel experience by the way.

4.  Hear a heavy metal/rock song & turn up the volume.

This is just the opposite of the 1st option. If you can't sing aloud or are just too shy then perhaps you can plug in your earphones and switch on some heavy metal song or a rock song. Now the concept behind every step is to divert your attention. Heavy songs works most though you can try soft songs also if you like. The idea is to get completely lost and immersed in the flow of the music. I remember listening to 'Metallica: The Day That Never Comes' when i was given a dose to reduce my severe stomach pain. It worked for me and I am sure it'll work for you too.

5. Turn around! Don't look

This is a no nonsense step but i didn't get any marvelous results from this. Eventually i kept looking even though i kept telling myself not to look. This works only if you have a very strong self control on yourself.

6. The mutation way!!

If none of the ways have worked for you then you could just perhaps get yourself mutated and get a skin like hulk. Self recovery mechanism and an almost impenetrable skin. Just go to a nuclear power station and have a 'radio-bath' or make yourself a cocktail blend of some of the finest chemicals and a pinch of radioactive metal to taste. 

Don't take the last one too seriously! you could hurt yourself bad. Very bad.

Its time to stop crying like a baby and be a man! Take control over your fears. You have the potential in you just need to ignite the spark!

The New Girl In Class Ep. 7 - The Adorables

Love pandas? Love koalas? We all love them don't we. They are just so cute and so harmless which they can be, but still when you see them you just forget all your worries and just enjoy the glimpse of this beautiful creation of god. Like these, love birds are the favorites of lovers. They somehow get their reflections in them. It's hard for someone single to feel that. Don't worry I am too! Lol.

Speaking of which I was not alone in my class. I was surrounded by lots of girls and few boys. Boys of North India generally give more preference to  engineering than medical but still a lot of boys opt for medical courses. I wasn't the only one in love. Everyone studying in the Institute were almost of the same age and of course teenagers and early adults(18 -21 years). Wow! I am providing statistical data now. That's good. If you took a walk around the Institute you could easy find couples in love staring at each other without worrying about the world around them. 

Just lost in each other's eyes they stand with glittery eyes and lovely smiles like the uniformity and steadiness of a marching band. 

Surprisingly, one day when I reached my class early which I don't but that day our P.G was undergoing renovation work so the warden woke us early in the morning around 6:00am. I thought it was probably the best idea to go and take a nap at the institute as the heaters would be on and the class would be empty also. To my surprise I found Kunal and Simran holding each other's hands and cuddling each other. It was not like lust but they looked so cute together that even the guard of the Institute left them alone. I went inside the class but they didn't even notice me coming in. I didn't want to disturb them but the rattling of the benches caused by the collision of my tummy and the corners of the benches broke their connection. These benches have been my enemy since the day I joined the Institute. I felt guilty for interfering between them. But they blushed together on seeing me. I was amazed to see them together because I never saw them even talking to each other during the past 5 months. 

I asked them how they got together on which they replied that Simran was attracted to Kunal from the beginning and interestingly Kunal also kept staring at her and also followed her after the classes were over. Then one day they both met at McDonald's by chance. They had their brunch together and after that they went on a short walk. Both of them wanted to express their feelings to the other but both were nervous and blushing. Then both of them turned at each other at the same time and accidentally kissed each other. Not the regular kissing but their lips touched. Both their faces were red and they ran away. The same night they met by chance again at the phone recharge shop and then they proposed each other. So simple, so delectable, so cute. No complications.

Even in my class I saw a couple sitting in front of me holding their hands together behind the bench and smiling but not looking at each other. Occasionally they touched each other by their shoulders. All the girls behind them were smiling and taking photos secretly. I was also laughing and looking at Jasleen but she ever serious never looked back!

There is a joke in Hindi that 'When a boy loves a girl, everyone knows it except the girl'. And 'when a girl loves a boy only the girl and boy knows'. Strange! We boys are like that.

I just hope my love story proceeds without any complications as I am too simple. I am like that.
