Black and White

When I born...I Black
When I grow up..I Black
When I go in sun..I Black
When I cold..I Black
When I sick..I Black
When I scared..I Black
And when I die..I still Black......

And you White fella,
When you born..you PINK
When you grow up..you WHITE
When you go in sun..you RED
When you cold..you BLUE
When you sick..you GREEN
When you scared..you YELLOW
And when you die..you GRAY.....

And you calling me "COLOURED"



I read this in the editorial column of The Hindustan Times,a year ago..Its been penned down by Mr.Vipin Bugsay.....Hats off to the man for describing the uselessness and futility of the so called 'racism' existing everywhere today,especially against us Asians....
So,this one goes out to all those people in the world who think themselves to be of a much superior race than us becuse of their colour...guys...we care a DAMN to what you think.............!!

EXPLANATIONS..APOLOGIES...BACK TO BUSINESS..

Ohkkk…so you guys must be wondering as to where the hell did I disappear all these days..Well..to justify my long absence from the blogging world..I was busy ‘settling’ back to college life after a glorious summer vacation back home…(ohh,how I miss waking up at 11 in the morning..lazing in the afternoons..eating the most amazng food mom used to make..and catching up with all old pals….*sigh*)
Yep,college did start quite a long time back..(21st July to be precise..)so…where was I all this while….??Do I start from the exhaustion of shifting hostels twice..the pains of going to the college office for payment of fees and noting the time-table..the anticipation of starting subjects related to my branch(finally..)or the irritation of waiting for a month to renew my internet connection…(phew!long list-or –what...hope I did not miss out any other atrocity inflicted by the college on us…)
Believe me…the worst thing that I had to go through right in the beginning was changing my hostel twice…And more so when me and my roommate(god bless her for keeping up with me for 1whole year..we’r still going strong..!!)had unpacked all our stuff and arranged the room we would be calling ‘home’ for the next 3years..lets call this one as room 1.Now,room 1 was nice-as in-it was a little crammier than our earlier room(coming to my room for last year-well,my 1st ‘home away from home’-it was near about perfect..**sigh**).Anyways like I said,room no 1 was ok..but the hostel we were moving into was ..well…BAD--narrow corridors,one tubelight for the three seater we were staying in,and surrounded by seniors who thought the world of themselves…I can go on n on n on..(although I must say that we had a near about perfect view of the basketball court where..umm..’cute guys’ sweated it out in the evenings..hehe!! )So,just when we had resigned to fate,thinking that god wanted us to witness game after game every evening:)..just when we had put together the room into someplace worth living..we got the news that we had been shifted to another hostel …Now that called for a celebration because our new ‘home’(this one is room no 2 for you)was near about perfect..but the pains of “repacking” all the “unpacked” stuff is beyond words…Tragic…Tiring….*phew*
Nevertheless,having finally shifted to room no 2 and settlled down to 2nd year..(ohh yes..i’m a sophomore now…feel so grown up..lol!!) all I did was wait eagerly for the internet connection to get renewed..

And I waited..waited..waited..and waited….

One by one all my friends got their internet connection..and me—I was having some weird,stupid problem with my laptop which even the internet guys could not fix…Can’t tell you how frustrating it was to watch everybody enjoy the’ simple pleasures’ of life(yes—internet for us does constitute simple pleasures..!!)and me not being able to do the same…So,finally after running to the internet people for 2 whole weeks,they finally concluded that all I had to do was get my laptop reformatted and I would get my internet connection immediately….
If only they had figured this out a little earlier…..because now it was time for my 1st sessional exams(that brings me back to the fact that we manipal’ites do study..!!)..anyways,how badly I screwed them up is another topic altogether..but I finally finished with my xams yesterday…and tomorrow I will be getting my laptop fixed….(tomorrow--because yesterday evening was spent watching Ranbir Kapoor romancing,apologizing to and romancing three hot chicks—another story yet again…!)..
So..that was what I have been going through all this while…My apologies for staying off the blogging circuit for so long..I missed it a lot.. I’m back now..to doing what I think I do best.”THINKING ABOUT THE WAYS OF LIFE(the title of my blog,if u didn’t get it by now..;)…cheers…..!!
