Reporting Live...!!

Well well well....one mail CAN create a storm !
Even Dr.Nag wouldn't know how his mail that spoke about a certain mechanism of hostel settings next year can deviate people who were neck deep under the burden of projects to leave everything and speak their mind out. It must be about 3 when the above mentioned mail arrived and voila! one must have seen the stir it created.One could actually see the mahila mukti morchas being formed, the future operations manager finding out the ways of optimum allocation of resources and then giving up,the resentment in the behenlogs about the unfair setting, the yet not so visible unity in the ladies of 2009-11 batch being so prominent all of a sudden.What happened next was that the IMF-the official student body sprung into immediately into action with El Presidente assuring the girls of fair representation and that their voices would not remain unheard and that he will personally look into the matter.
Meanwhile the girls gathered around certain common rooms to discuss how unfair it has been that on a woman's day they have to face such discrimination. ( Suddenly everyone lost track of the 5 O'clock deadline for certain projects ;) ) Well after a long and well discussed meeting within themselves and then later with the warden IMF president rested his confidence in the ladies that the ladies are capable enough to handle it without the IMF's intervention.Well the next few minutes saw the formation of a group of representatives being formed jo ki jaake naag ke gale me ghanti baandhe. In short who goes and submits the petition to Dr.Naag. 
What happened later was the usual sarkari reassurance hymn being sung by the warden that he would be putting forward the signed application with the higher authority and although he empathizes with us he cant find a better solution to this problem.He himself wants the best for the female students but then he couldn't assure them of anything.
Meanwhile the batch also saw the use of Google tools for the peaceful show of resentment. The general emotion between the public is mixed. While the girls were seen generally expressing their anger in groups the guys came up with mixed emotions. Despite the contrary belief the majority of guys were seen to be liking the fact as now they can have their own ways once in the all-boys hostel.The important thing to note will be however that how the things take turn in the upcoming days. Will the administration give in to the demands by the gals or will the gals be sharing  their next or rather the last year of their MBA with the junior batch or their own batchmates !!!!
PS- Yours truly was very much a part of the action mentioned above.It was only later that she found uncanny similarities between the situation here and that in political halls of India when the report was written.

There are some days which should pass too soon..!

There are some times when things are going tremendously wrong. You see no silver lining and the dense clouds of gloominess shroud over the seemingly distant happiness.This is the time when you try to blame everything and everyone around you. Every small pinch affects you like a dagger.Every friendly nok-jhok seems like the biggest fight you have had ever.You promise yourselves not to be fooled by the world anymore but then you end up in the same situation again and again.But there are the post-facto analysis when you sit back and imagine and re-visit those days only to realise that you ignorantly did some really stupid stuff which is not reversible anymore.
And there evolves another guilt which is even worse than the preface.
But were the relationships so fragile that they would suffer such an impact of the notional bad moods.Were the happy days so limited in number that they were finished even before we could actually capitalize on them.Are we so un sensitized by the issues that we would rather finish with the fight rather than sorting it out.Hope the prayers are answered and the days which are gloomy pass too soon.The Time probably is the only healer in absence of initiation.
