The Duo - in action at School

Another of those funny incidents which always lingers in my mind..
I had to write about this one..
This is something from my school days..

I think it was in the 8th or 9th grade.

I had joined MESRRS only in the 7th standard,but by now I had created a reputation for myself and of course had secured the companionship of the daredevils of the class.
The other person involved in this situation is Soum.

We were like the 'dadas' of the class (or so we thought ).I believe we were nothing like the other girls. We were very tomboyish and always ready to pick fights with the Boy-dadas.

One day something did come up involving one of the guys(one of the above mentioned dada.)and some classmate of ours(a girl).We being the saviours of the oppressed, the messiahs of the downtroddens, naturally interfered.

"Get the hell out of here.It's none of your buisiness"
Raj(name changed) was right ofcourse!But how could we abandon our refugee

The verbal combat prevailed for some time and then the silent warfare ensued.
Hostle looks and tense breaths said it all!!I still have the picture of Rajs face all red and quivering with anger.
Maybe for 10 minutes,or less, both the parties went on unrelenting.

I was on the verge of tears.But I could'nt afford to lose.Had a reputation to maintain!!!I dared not look at Soum. I knew she was handling it well.She is tough!!

After some more tense moments Raj stormed out of the class.

"Whew!That was close."
"Da, I almost cried", said soum.

Perhaps,that's how best friends are..

Mission accomplished, we went on, saving our skins for the day...

Epilogue:
We and Raj became good friends .
One day over normal chat the topic changed to the above mentioned incident. And indeed Raj was surprised to learn how close to tears we were then...

( I ) Miss(ed) Calls

It's always a pleasure when someone thinks of you and even more when they let you know that.(Well perhaps not always!!!)
So When ever my phone rings to tell me I have a call or a message it is obvious that a smile sprouts on my face.Perhaps I should slightly rephrase this statement also.'A smile used to sprout on my face' would be better .The first reason being that I hardly get any calls or messages these days and the second one, only vodafone or icici take that trouble.
Yesterday i forgot my phone at home.(I attribute it entirely to the complete amnesia which devoured my senses at that moment when i was leaving home.)
Initially i was worried how i would survive the day.
Though it has no use these days, it's a relief when I have my mobile in my hands.
In fact I even prefer to look time in my mobile than in my wrist watch.
Just an act of habit!
And moreover, I had 2 meetings in the day!!!;-)
But,perhaps atleast today I could see a few missed calls and messages when i reach home.
The thought kept me going through the day.(I still don't understand why I expected my incoming calls to increase because I left the mobile at home.)
So it was with great expectations that i went home and checked my mobile for messages and missed calls.
But, as always there were not many,just 8 missed calls and 3 messges in the entire 12 hours i were away from it.And of these 4 were from my friends (in the next cubicle,probably calling to go out for lunch or tea!!) and 4 were unknown landline numbers, some bank or insurance company i'm sure.;-(

Perhaps Nobody else is as jobless as I am!!!!
