"KARVA-CHAUTH"

I just witnessed the funniest sight ever in my hostel life...(specifically "hostel life"..because otherwise my hostel is full of really "intellectually refined" 1st year students..studying most of the time ,realizing the fact that scoring good marks in the 1st year is a piece of cake...and..umm..in the 2nd year..well...dont even ask!!)..
Anyways,so..me and my roommate had just finished dinner and we were both at the wash basin washing our hands,looking at the mirror and discussing about one of our classmates' orkut profile and his "about me"(which,btw,is hilarious as well..!!Seems like all funny things are coming to light today..!!)...Across our corridor I could see a goup of 7-8 girls standing and talking at the top of their voices...We felt a tad bit irritated because their voices were loud enough to reach upto our room and I had finally succeeded in bringing myself to start studying for the impending exams from next thursday...So,we graciously ignored them and came back to the room.I had just started writing a blog post on a completely different topic..when all hell broke lose.. we suddenly heard the same group of girls going "ohhhhhhooooo....."(in typical girly style!!)...and then came the "grand finale"-
"I LOVE YOU ABHISHEK!!!"
I rushed out of the room thinking that some lucky "Abhishek" fellow had been proposed by one of our group of girls.....and guess what I instead came across.......???
Lo behold! Right in front of my eyes...I saw one of my hostel junior dolled up in a Red saree...with full make-up on....bangles in the hand...and God only knows what else...standing in the corridor,in conversation with her "Abhishek" on the phone..and.......(here comes the best part.....!!!......*drumroll*......)breaking her KARVA-CHAUTH FAST..!!! Annddd...I'm not done yet....one of her friends holding a "thaali" with all "teeka" n stuff(really dont know wat all you are supposed to keep in that "thaali"!)ready for her.....all the while our main protagonist for the hour,blushing and going beet root red on the phone..(guess her Abhishek must be telling her that he could picture her in a saree even on the phone,and complementing her on how pretty she must be looking..or maybe telling her that even he had kept a fast for her...hehehe!! :) : ) )
I couldnot stop laughing and immediately called my roommate....and ever since the both of us have called up everybody we know and described to them vividly this hilarious event....!!!
This was seriously good fun..I desperately needed it amidst all the exam tension and the other bull shit in life..
God bless the girl for providing cheer in our monotonous lives...I hope and pray to God she has many such Karva chauths in her life...May she and Abhishek have a "happily-ever-after life"..!!
(Ohhh....Manipal amazes me every single day...!!!!!)
Anyways..have my exams from next thursday...gotta go study....:( :(

Till then.....here's wishing you all a very HAPPY KARVA-CHAUTH..!!
