Exams? Tests? Copy! Really?

   Remember when you were a student? And I'm talking about school times; specially during exams or tution tests. I'm sure everybody has copied, or atleast tried to copy a few times. So you'd know how that used to be..
   Presently I'm having the chance of observing it all- the sideway glances looking sly, fidgeting, playing with pen, scratching head/ear, playing/smoothing hair, signals for giving answers, watching the supervisor, looking randomly when caught, making very thoughtful face- apart from writting of course, I can see it all. Since I've taken up supervising tests in a tution as a kinda weekend job, I enjoy my experience each time I'm at it! Let me tell you about the fun..There are basically 2 classes- the 11th grade and the 12th grade. This furthermore gets divided into Boys and Girls.
   The 11th grade boys are actually pretty obvious when they try and copy, although they can be perfect little monsters at times, nicely creating a commotion so that the otherss get their chance, and then grinning at me as if nobody could be more innocent than them! Charming brats. When I confront them with a raised eyebrow( I love doing that LOL) and a questioning look, they have the cheek to ask me what happened! As if they don't know what they're doing! Whereas the 12th grade boys just shrug, giving a message that they couldn't care less and go right ahead and do what they want....well, untill I take away one's paper or throw somebody out; then they'll behave...both graders for that matter!
   The 11th grade girls oh so sly! And quick too. Initially I thought they're the sincere ones calmly writting the paper. But after being more attentive( pure curiosity!) I realised that they're just smarter than the boys! Don't mind saying I'm proud to be a girl haha! But if I consider the 12th grade girls, I can't be so sure. Oh sure they're smart. But so full of attitude! God! One would think they're doing me a favour writting their paper. Sparing me the one over look when they enter, they couldn't care less what I told them if they try to copy. Although now I've got the hang of handling them so it's fine. Initially it was a kinda bit scary...I don't appreciate attitude, rest alone bad attitude problem!
   All in all, I do let give all of them enough chances before I give the warning, take away the paper or throw them out. Silent copying ain't disturbing anybody, right? As long as it's not disturbing the class, it is ok sometimes. Hey!after all I was a student like that too!:)

Coffee- universal solution!

   Surprised? Wondering how? Well, scientifically it's the caffeine, which is a stimulant, and so it activates the mind and clicks on that little fast forward button. Atleast, that's how it is for me. Everything from headache to laziness, tension to sleep, coffee affects me as I need.
   Apart from that, it of course is a great excuse to meet people and lenghten the conversation. A way, as humanly possible, to stop the tick of time. So, I have coffee when I'm sleepy but have work. I make it when I have pounding headache and wanna get rid of it. I make it when when I need a energy boost up early morning and get fresh. And I make coffee anytime of the day just because I simply love it!
   Not really a tea person, coffee suits me best, cold and hot both; that or hot chocolate. But right now I'm really craving for Irish coffee, which unfortunately I cannot make it myself because I don't have the key ingredient. Nevertheless I'm writting down the recipe here, incase any of you might be interested:)

Irish coffee made with coffee, sugar, whipped cream, and whiskey.

Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons sugar, or to taste
• 2/3 cup hot brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
• whipped cream, sweetened if desired

Preparation:

Combine first 3 ingredients; top each cup with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

 

Enjoy your time stilling solution!:)

Waiting..

I told my friends that I'll write about our wonderful meeting yesterday but I'm not really in the mood today so, sorry it'll have to wait. Today it'll be one of my favorite poems that I wrote alomost 4 years back!:

I'm always waiting here,

For my heart to cheer.

I'm waiting for you to come;

Making my gloom run.

Hoping you would feel

The absence of my glee.

Hoping you would see

My sorrows burning in the sea.

But you never came,

Never felt, never even to see;

What has become of me.

My heart, suffering the agony,

Refusing my sorrow

And not letting it swallow(me).

Kept me always wishing, hoping

Seems like the last star of hope

Will be caught and gone unblinking

Not knowing how hard it is to cope

Hope, so strong however small,

Has kept me going strong;

And kept me waiting, for none yet for all.

World full of Hypocrites!

   Ever tried those 'personality' quiz on Facebook? There is one question that is generally asked: Which secret power would you wish to have? or something similar. Since a few days I've been thinking that I would love to hear minds. I really envy Edward Cullen(although I so totally love him!)!
   I mean, I want to know what people actually mean by their words. When somebody says' "Hi, oh my gosh! How great to see you! Such a coincidence, I was thinking of calling you up just a few days back. I've so missed you, you know? You look so lovely! What did you do to hair!? They're gorgeous! We really should meet more often." Blah, blah, blah. Does it actually mean "Oh my gosh, you exists! Do I even have your number to call? When did we meet last? oh, too much to think. You've got dark circles under your eyes and your skin looks dull and seems like you've been eating nothing but calories and your clothes are so not branded and well, your hair is ok, nothing great though. Can you stop talking so that I can go?"
   OR "It's really not fair that you don't keep in touch. I've become so lonely. You used to be my best friend. You haven't changed a bit!"  Blah, blah, blah. Umm, hello?? Really? If my being outta touch has made you so lonely, then how come your Facebook updates shows you partying almost every single day or that you go out for dinners and such with all friends and didn't think of calling your 'best friend'? Forget that, do you see me going around with 'stay away' board? Who has stopped You from staying in touch?
   OR "What happened? You don't deserve to stay sad at all. You look best when you smile. What happened to that smile? You can trust me. I'm your friend." Blah, blah, blah. Is it something like "What did you do now? Why do you always keep creating problems then make that face. Face your own shit. But first tell me the story. I can't wait to hear what's the latest gossip. C'mon I'm the best gossiper so you can tell me."
   Sounds mean? Mean but true. Most people are like these. There are more examples, oh many more, but I really have to think hard about the real mean translations, so just these for now. Although most of you might have experienced this and more or might have behaved in such a fashion at some point too. It's sick, really. Why do such people even bother to talk, if all they can do is think mean!?
   I, obviously have met many such people. And each time I don't understand why do they bother with me. Untill a few years, probably still now, I was called a snob. Not because, I use to be mean to people. I'm actually very shy, so don't really talk easily to new people; never go up to talk myself. So, I use to be(still am) quiet and less interactive. And that was mistaken as being uptight and snobbish and somebpdy who has an attitude problem! Puhlease! I'm the last person who'll have attitude problem! But after anybody thinking such have become my friend, they admit my so called image is ablsolute rubbish.
   Therefore I think if being shy and quiet becomes snobbish then being out spoken and sugary sweet becomes socialable! So typical P3 type! But if it is really thay way, then I'm happy being an uptight snob! :)

A Token...of Thanks!

   Thanks a lot, to all those who have read, joined, commented and encouraged my start so generously:) Really, I feel happy and less insecure to know that I'm doing well.   

   Funny thing, praise is. People use to it demand more, but value less. I, obviously love getting it (who doesn't!?) but feel the need to confirm it. It is not because it pleases my ears and I want to hear it again, but beacuse I have a bit difficulty believing it the first time. I fear I'm being mocked at( like I usually am..sadly). But anyway, keep up all of your latest project 'Encourage Me' and I'll continue sharing a piece of my mind!
   Not writting much today as for once I am sleepy at midnight! Now that is something new and I'm sure my parents would agree!;) So signing off untill tommorrow. Thank You once again! I'll sleep well tonight:)
