I am taking a class in Statistics after a gap of one year! Needless to say it is plain boring and I hate it, especially coz it is in the evening twice a week. So this was a Yahoo conversation between a friend of mine and me few days back. Me: (1/18/2006 3:34:48 PM): mujhe class ko nahi jaana Friend: (1/18/2006 3:34:54 PM): shut up and go Friend (1/18/2006 3:35:05 PM): behave like a big girl Me; (1/18/2006 3:35:41 PM): jaana to hoga.. Me (1/18/2006 3:35:43 PM): :(( Friend (1/18/2006 3:35:57 PM): call me after u get done This is my state of mind almost everytime I go to the class! This stats lesson is the second of the two parts we are required to take. Things were very different in both these parts! Apart from the Professor even the students are not the same. On the first day of my class, I entered a class full of 5 students!! Thats all! Not one familiar face! Out of the 6 students including myself, there are three girls and two guys and one another guy.[I have a reason why I am mentioning that guy as 'one another guy"] Read on.. The two guys are plain boring. Have you seen guys who have a frown on their face? whose face is as plain as a starched shirt! I dint bother to smile at them after that! So well then another "person"walked inside the class, with hair that reached the back, curly and thick! and a face so cute! and wearing a nice heavy jacket and sat comfortably on the chair tying the hair with a rubberband! I started staring at the person continuously. Quite unusual for me to do that! I was trying to place him. Are isko pehle kaheen dekha hai types! and I think the person noticed it and was quick to retort, "Hi! I was the guy who sat in the first bench last year. Only thing is I have grown my hair long" I was embarrased! Next, there is this girl who moved from Santacruz, California! Well, again quite unusual of me but I ran into a misunderstanding with her. We decided to meet up for working on an assignment at 6:30 AM on one of the days! Well, I know it was bad on my part..but being a late night person..I overslept only to find out that I got up at 7:30 AM. Worse, I did not inform her or apologize to her. 2 days later, in the class..she blasted out at me. Well, I have a huge problem with going and confronting to somebody, so kept my mouth shut and called her back later! That was that. So right now, my stats class is as boring as can be. I miss that 65 year old army veteran who took the class with me last year! He retired from military and wanted to become a teacher. It was a time well spent interacting with someone his age. Someone who has been in a noble profession. Has done his bit for the Country, has accomplished something in life. A satisfied life. But, someone who still has aspirations. Someone who still relates to a person atleast 40 years younger! They make great conversationalists! I think we all need a friend who is so experienced in life! The other was a Russian friend of mine. The guy was amazing! Wore a proper mink coat and drove a BMW Z6 convertible and who gave me a lift from my school to that campus..and it was amazing to get off from a swanky car:). Funny, he used to narrate all unbelievable stories that dealt with how he dated a beauty queen in Russia! For every help that I offered with the assignment, he treated me to "Baklawa" Coming from that environment, this one is so unconducible:( I miss those folks!! After all a classroom is more about classmates than about the class! The Dev Anand song going on the background is reflective of this thought: Jeevan ke safar mein rahee, milte hain bichad jaaneko, aur de jaate hain yaadein tanhayee mein tadpaneko! P.S:Whoa! finally managed to post this one after a month!! and believe me the feeling about this class still remains unchanged:(
