Mischief can be more potent than botox

It amuses me infinitely when I hear people's perception of me as a somber, dignified and a no nonsense person. Well I am a no nonsense person, I am dignified too but a somber person!!!!!!! You should actually ask my school teachers – Wonder what their reaction would be if they ever got to know that I am into teaching!!!

Hmmmmmmmm…………..

My school days, were fun filled…. No I think mischief filled!!!!!!!!!!!
So what’s new about it?
Not much except for the time – more than twenty five years ago
My gender – a girl!!!!!!
My background – a potent combo of being the daughter of a renowned professor!!!!!!!!!! and belonging to a traditional family.

We were a bunch of eight girls, very close and very impish – our activities ranged from ragging to bunking classes to total indiscipline in every matter concerning student life.

We managed to do all this without making anyone suspicious and if at all we ever got caught into trouble we coped well and ensured it did not go to the notice of our parents. My parents were the least suspicious – the same serious look that I sport now was the reason for my escape then too.

Well that was back then!!! How about now? Have things changed? Not much really I still manage to have loads of fun and this time around it’s not with my friends – I manage to keep a straight face in front of all my colleagues and have lots of fun with my students themselves!!! The past few months have been like - back to my good old school days. All the buried mischief has come to the surface again!!!! I feel younger and a lot more energetic.

The Regressive attitude!

I was enjoying speeding in my Alto oblivious to everything else other than the exhilarating feeling of watching the road ahead and the beautiful site of the winding roads hugging sometimes paddy fields and sometimes Mango groves! All of a sudden I noticed a car from behind trying to overtake my vehicle and for a while I intended to keep up my speed but then better sense prevailed over me. I moved to a side to give way to the other vehicle! As soon as the car occupants had overtaken me, I saw them giving Hifi to one another followed by a quick triumphant glance– very excited that they had overtaken me! My first reaction was – how idiotic!! During one of those chatty sessions with my colleagues the kind who dole out advices whether you want it or not! My colleague told me that I should stop commuting by my car as it was risky driving such a long distance everyday! He gave me two solutions – to commute by the transportation provided by the organization or to have a driver to drive my car...

The Earthen Pot

I went to a Flea Market a bit unwillingly but then when nephews call to spend time with you, you hardly have a choice. I was supposed to meet them a little early for a Sunday morning but I reached in time. I called one of my nephews only to realize he hadn’t even started from home. He suggested that I go in and look around. I hesitated to take up his suggestion but the greed for materialistic possessions took over good sense and there I was just picking up whatever took my fansy! I infact had no cash with me and so installed PAYTM and paid! Nothing seemed to be a hindrance or a challenge! One prized possession amidst all the junk was a beautiful earthen pot and it had a nice glazed finish to it! I was informed that I could place it on a gas stove too for cooking! I picked it up thinking I had got it at a throw away price! The next morning as I placed it on the stove to make sambhar, I dreamt of the smell of sambhar in the purest and unsullied form wafting through my house! I was ru...
