The wackiest things

It was not until someone called me “wacky” after a long time that I thought to myself "How whacky am I?”
A few instances popped instantly to my mind and I think I have grown up enough to confess them…..here.
I am not immoral but someone whom I would call amoral coz some restrictions don’t make any sense to me…

Anyways before I plunge into a deep reverie and begin sounding like some criminal..
I’d like to share a few light moments of my not so long life..
Which I think can be categorized as “wacky” or “crazy’

#1 I was in sector 18 ,as usual..freaking out with my friends..fortunately/unfortunately armed with a camera(had come to get a roll washed )
a few shots remaining..I was desperate to make the best use of them

It was when Raddison,Noida was under construction..
Two snake charmers were moving around with a python n I dunno why…but I thought..the only thing I want in life right now(typical me) is to wrap that creepy thing around my neck..like my life depended on it
n a get a pic clicked..

I paid those people handsomely..lest that snake should faint(lol)
N asked them to help me get adorned by that reptile..
The python was strong…
A couple of passer bys stopped and gaped at me..n I thought..”Poor creatures..wish they tried out the same..it’s so thrilling”
After the photo session the snake turned a bit moody n refused to uncoil itself
The more those snake charmers tried to unwind it..the tighter it wound itself around my neck..until I choked myself n felt it’ll wring my neck n probably this is going to be the last snap of my life..
I wondered if my parents would put it in a frame if I died..
N honestly I can say..for once in my life..I was scared
I gestured those idiots to stop pulling the python from both ends n let it have its way..
It soon relaxed and I felt a gush of fresh air filling my lungs again…
Aah..a narrow escape

Mom freaked out when I emailed that pic to my parents…Dad I guess was proud. Coz all he said was”That’s like my gal”

#2 I don't fag for a stupid reason...it darkens lips!!!
But once I shared a bidi with a blue collared woman who worked in my hostel...
She taught me how to cup ur hands to take a kashh
Somehow ..it was the most liberating experience of my life..
I found all social barriers vanish..n her to be just another human being...

#3 This is what I call juvenile deliquescence.
We were a close-knit group of six females..prurient and curious.
Three of us stole an essential commodity from Store 18 which usually comes in a pack of 3 and the rest of us met in my hostel room(yeah u guessed it right-the HeadQuarters)
The first one was blown like a balloon,the 2nd filled with water and pichkao-ed and the 3rd was thrown in front of the warden's room :D
Now that I am safely out of the bounds of campus..I can confess who helped the warden set a world record in Screaming the following morning...

Btw u can pluck my teeth one by one..or pull my nails..or skin me alive (or try any other medieval form of torture...) I am not going to name the other partners in crime...LOL

zoxcleb said...

Aparna Ganguly said...

@zoxcleb
God meant it to be that way..(sings)

Hide them under a bushel..Oh No!!!
I am going to let it shine
..let it shine..all the time..let it shine
:P

zoxcleb said...

actually googled that to see where u picked it up from! :-(

Aparna Ganguly said...

Learnt at school...standard II..(morning shift choir practice finally paid off)
:P
The song began this way..

"This little guiding light of mine..I am gonna let it shine.."

Just replaced it with talents( as u know..it's a currency too)
n mad eit plural

zoxcleb said...

we did carols too... but this one i cant even recall... will have to go look for my hymnal.

and u have succesfully managed to maintain mystate of confusion with ur last "para"

Aparna Ganguly said...

Talent =
1.A marked innate ability
2.A variable unit of weight and money used in ancient Greece, Rome, and the Middle East

For me Talent(1) is the only currency that can help u make business in this world..

Aparna Ganguly said...

@ #3 I guess?
yeah tht's my fav too:)

Aparna Ganguly said...

Dunno..didn't care to find out...
kept a low profile for a few days after that incident :P

zoxcleb said...

hmmm... good point.

zoxcleb said...

very interesting incident... odd number stories seem to be way more fun!

zoxcleb said...

deliquescence??
the act of liquefying?

Aparna Ganguly said...

Juvenile deliquescence was used to describe offense committed by youth(more owing to age than the innate ability to hatch crimes:P)

delinquent [present participle of delinquere, to offend] 1. failing to do that which is required by law or obligation. 2. a person who neglects a legal obligation.

Juvenile=Marked by immaturity; childish


It's true that I have this indominatable knack of coining new terms..just like concoting my own dishes..

But I think that term is quite popular...wonder u didn't hear it before..

zoxcleb said...

i've heard of juvenile delinquents.. not juvenile delinquescence!
no need to feed me the definitions...
how small a kid do u think i am? :-(

concocting new dishes, u are not alone in. i love experimenting with food... most ppl cant stand my combinations. but thankfully my stomach doesnt mind them ;-)

Aparna Ganguly said...

LOL
Lucky you..the first time I tried something..my dog refused to eat it..
have come a long way since then:P
Thankfully

Aparna Ganguly said...

@zoxcleb
how small a kid do u think i am?

I figured u to be an 8 yr old..coz personally I feel my mental age is tht of a KG goer..
I guess I have the same curiosity n look at the world with the same wonder as I did when I had just begin to learn things..
I marvel at the wings of a brilliantly coloured butterfly the same way i used to do before..n prolly bug my bro to have a glance too..:P

Aparna Ganguly said...

hey..btw have u ever noticed how the ceiling has grown closer to u ever since u have grown up?
When I was a kid I used to wish I wud grow up enough to touch the ceiling(fortunately..some wishes are never granted...or else ..I cudn't have laughed about it today)

Even now I lie on the floor n look up to feel..how I felt like a kid..

some things appeared unattainable..

N now that I have seen a li'l more of life..I feel..well forget it...I cud write another post on it :P

Xunoz said...

@parna...

zoxcleb said...

but reading ur posts ensures that i stunt my growth from now on.. so i can continue to look around this world in awe.

(sometimes, i feel thats the only way to staysane in this place!)

zoxcleb said...

everytime i shifted house, the celings got higher.. so thankfully not noticed that part! ;-)

question: why are u lying on the floor? what happened to the bed?

Aparna Ganguly said...

it was too high for me to climb:)
I gave it to my neighbour...

Aparna Ganguly said...

@zoxcleb
u got only one life ....
live it the way u want:)
at least on weekends;)

zoxcleb said...

ah now that i can envision... the bed being too high!
and even from that low viewpoint, the ceiling gets lower for u? u must be huge!
;-)
