Kuch Pal – Some Moments to Cherish

Kuch Pal – Some Moments to Cherish

This is not just a story but a reality that we have and can face in our life at anytime where you get what you have never expected. Well here I will only share some moments that will be the cause of happiness and not sadness as I feel their should be sometime where we should overcast that thing to get a smile on our face. Well today life is racing faster than time and to each one we ask they say ‘We have no time’ or ’24 hour is not enough’. I sometime feel that this is just a stupid reason to avoid some trouble I guess as the great persons in past also had the same time and they had given us what we could have never achieved in that short period. The world has changed so much during say 60 years, previously their was a much greater sense of respect than its now and all because people are so busy in their own world. This is the moment where if they get some happiness then they can remember for a long long time. I am not sure if people had heard a very famous song by Ali Hyder – ‘Puraani Jeans aur Guitaar, mohalle ki who chat (roof) aur mere yaar…’. That song really describes a very beautiful aspect of life. I will start from the school when we are quite old to understand things and try to show our smartness over others. I remember some students sits at the back and usually start their mischief at the last period in school when they all are tired of the days work. I used to sit in the centre so as to get the taste of both, people at the back used to clip in a rubber band and stick a piece of paper and just shot like a gulel (I don’t know the pronunciation in English). Then the next best thing we do is to throw chalks on each other whenever we get a free period or if their is a delay in the teacher arrival. One more form of throwing chalk we discover is to get a small piece grind it with fingers and throw on the hairs and back of the blazer. It was the best game that we all have played in school. One more thing that is done every year during Diwali month is to have a blast in the toilets. For that the gang that never comes on time comes early in the morning to fix the same in a place where no one can see and light up the candle (agarbatti) and put the lace of the bomb at the end of the candle and alert everyone not to use that toilet. Generally they used to keep that in ladies toilet to have more impact. To a surprise you see that never ever we have heard in school that because of that someone got hurt and that leads to have this activity every year. And when the bomb explodes, the person who does this have such a strange looks that you just can’t control your emotions seeing them. You always see that in a class their is a group that leads the control from the front and the reputation among teachers is not so good. But I say that they are the most creative persons and a life in the class. I remember one weirder that we do in class is to imitate voices of animals. Consider the English period is going on and teacher is explaining tenses and suddenly a cat’s voice gets in class. A pin drop silence becomes a laughter club and then using that some more voices can be heard and the look on teachers face is to be enjoyed.
During schooling, I don’t know much about girls, but you will see that if the girl is a topper in class, she will be more comfortable with fellow guys with similar intelligence. Two brilliant girls can never be great friends I bet you for thatJ. And it’s always being good to see them in the class fighting for each mark in tests and answering the maximum questions in the class. On the other hand the guys will sit behind them and try to hide so that the teacher may not let them stand to answer the question. During any cultural or sports activity, their will always be a group that wont do anything but have their so called valuable comments to the ones busy in managing things and taking part on the same.
When we go in college, we think to be smart and know everything about life. Some take this change seriously and concentrate on their goals in life, others have a view to enjoy these years and then think about life as after that no one will be escaped with the burden of responsibilities. Girls tend to be very serious during initial days and try to have an impact on the professors. Usually these girls are boring for the ones that take the life in a much lighter way and being an average student enjoys each and every moment of that life. The best thing you must have done is to give a punch line to your college or atleast have a short name that looks funnier to be called. Then you have your college song that seniors want each one to learn. For guys they have a non veg version and for girls something very stupid to laugh about and if you don’t know the song then be ready to have your chubby cheeks to get the pain. First year is always being remembered as at this period you will get to know how you are going to cope up with both the studies and enjoyment. This is the time where guys and girls tend to get in all sorts of unwanted activities like cigarette, alcohol, etc. Some say that you need to taste all this in life, but they don’t know that to taste a thing that is harmful is never ever let you taste. It will get you used to it, May God Bless All. The next best thing that people in college wait for is GT (General Tadi) a decided holiday that can vary from half day to months based on the leader decision. Haa one more thing in that is you will always find a leader in your class that will ask you to follow whatever he says. He will be the one that has contacts to all the seniors, no interest in studies and just ask someone to have its proxy. If that guy sits with you in the class for one lecture, bet you won’t able to concentrate as he will ask you so many questions during that. Even you can find a leader among girls that will encourage not going for GT and preparing the sessionals in time. Some might even go secretly and submits the assignment to professor and behaves that they haven’t even prepared and stands with the class decision. The best place to relax in college is outside the gate on stairs and you will find some or the other person sitting at all times and that place can never look deserted from morning till evening. When you get senior you either think to leave the juniors in sympathy or want to have your revenge on them. One more thing that is common is that if you have been ragged by any senior, then he will definitely help you if you require both in terms of guiding, studies, notes and doing other stuffs, I hope you understand…
Combine study is the most common term among guys as it’s not that popular among girls as two or more than two girls can’t study seriously in a single room on the same topic, not because they don’t want to study together, but you know it won’t work out. Two reasons for that, firstly girls are jealous among fellow girls as they have a tendency to prove better then others and hence they prefer to study lonely and in secret and behaves after the paper that it was not good and get 80+ marks. I have never seen any brilliant or average girl to say the truth after coming out of the examination hall. The best dialog for them is ‘Don’t know yaar jo jo pada tha, kuch nahi aaya, bas passing marks jitney aayenge’ (I don’t know what happened, whatever I studied didn’t came, I hope I will pass this paper). Combined study among guys is very common both in school and in college and it’s really helpful for the people those haven’t opened the notes all round the year. The study usually starts after 10 with a cup of tea and snacks, then opens the last year papers or term papers and first gets through all those. Actually this actually guaranteed 30 to 40 percent of repeated questions and can guarantee you to just pass with the minimum marks. Well after a serious study for a couple of hours then next thing they do is to go out for some break to a nearby hotel at the bus or train station and have a strong tea with poha (a very common and famous item for breakfast). That’s the best place where even at 3-4 in the morning all will look as fresh as ever after having that early breakfast. Their is also a tendency to get the paper out and it happened many times in my school and college. I remember two cases one happened in class 9 where my history teacher is being called by principal and she left in the middle of the period and I was sitting at the front bench and saw some notes under the book. When I dragged that I saw that was the second term paper of ours and everyone was surrounded that and looked in surprise. I was really scared and when she came back we are all at our desk and nobody said anything. I felt really guilty about myself as History was my favourite subject and also the teacher I respect most. After the class I told everyone that I m going to tell her, some agreed on my decision and many said no, but I then went to the staff room and told her everything. She was really very angry after that, but later I guess she realised my honesty, but the thing is that I was able to see on her eyes after telling this and all guilt was gone. The second case happened in class 11 where my friends got hold of English paper and they all came to me at 9 in the night to solve the grammar as I was considered to be honest to provide the correct solution. We all sat and solved the paper for 2 hours and went to Bed. I was still not convinced and continued my normal study, but the next day when we saw the paper, we all were delighted and just saw the first question and the pen started to move on the copy like a rocket and that was the first time most of them were able to finish the paper much before the allotted timeJ
Well this continues on and on, but all these moments when you realise for sure bring smile on your face. If while reading this you can imagine your wonderful past and the stuffs you did then the motive for this story is served. In the last only want to say that life is not too short, but the moments that you can enjoy without considering anything and just enjoying is too short. So what are you thinking about just remember those little moments and put that in a safe locker in your mind and whenever you feel depressed and lonely open that locker and let the smile have to pass from your charming face. All the very Best J J J
