m in the mood of writin abt my 'late' adventures!
well, u knw my father was supposed to fill out a form to get me admitted into the St. Ann's High School for I std. and he missed the deadline!! so, there goes 1 yr. n then when he finally did took me to school the next yr, poor dad he was asked to take me back "sir, i'm sorry. but, it is a 'girls only' conventl" ! n i die to see the reaction it wud have forced on my darlin dad's face then! Tomboy for life!
so, u see its in my genes to get late! can't help it!
INCIDENT # 1
oh! i still remember how as a child and a teenager i used to run the way to my school! well, yea i was a over-energetic child burstling with energy but more than that it was coz i was gettin late! runnin seemed far more pleasurable than writin "i won't get late ever to school" 500 times!!
n this repeated everyday for 10 yrs of my life without fail!
INCIDENT # 2
runnin as a teenager was different, but runnin at 20 being a student of the Engineering College - Nirma Institute of Technology - now, tht seemed really odd to me! bt, ofcourse, ppl don't change, do they?? now, this karshan bhai didn't find any decent city locality for erecting one of india's best college infrastucture n he landed up in this wild place on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, on the highway towards the capital city Gandhinagar! much as the pathway is laden with trees and daily morn u get this feelin as if u r on ur way to a hill station: the cool breeze, the clear sunshine, the cheerful students, the wonderful bus and a heavenly place awaiting u! but, then the problem was u miss your bus and u end up at the mercy of some traveller passin by for lift or goin thru the ordeal of travelling in those 3-wheeled shuttle autos!
n inspite of realising the trouble i was headin towards, ignoring my mum's incessant wake-up calls, rushin towards the main road to catch the college bus and seein it pass by.........not even turnin back and havin a look at poor me!!!! and the entire batch perhaps kept wondering as to why i'm exactly 15 min late daily for my first lecture!
INCIDENT # 3
it was this grt MBA entrance test for nmims and i got late by no less than 15 minutes. 15 minutes! the MBA aspirants wud recognise the value of 15 seconds! n there was i gettin ssso late for such an important test! bt, somehow managed to crack it n here i'm today using the PC n net facility provided by nmims.
INCIDENT # 4
gettin incessantly late for my lectures at nmims, avoiding looking at profs n shyly makin my way towards the back-benches! much as i hate seatin on the back-benches!
d horrendous procrastinator!!
