Was just fillin this on Ashish's posts and though would be nice to have it here, Just keep forgetting how much fun life has been.
Me and Ashish going to Palika, he didn't tell me that we'll bump into his gf (hard to recall her name, as there have been so many), with me carrying little cash just to buy some exquisite Palika stuff, and him carrying a lil more than me for the same, knowing who we might crash into).
His gf, first taking us to RODEOS, where we have a glass of water each and bolt after browsing through the menu, then its pizza-hut (hello !! still would punch a crater hole in our pockets - we're only 16, we don't make money; all we have is money collected from the festivities). Making all the orders in pizza hut, not eating any of it (i can eat a meal for 3 there but was too shy to eat the left overs, which was almost all that SHE ordered)....me angry - you do anything but NEVER waste pizzas "do you know every hour around the globe, so many people like me starve for a pizza+Pepsi meal", and Ashish still acting all that stupid shy bf.
Then us falling short on the bill by 3/-. Begging the waiters to let us go.
Boarding the bus, me making a lame excuse about out pockets been picked to a "not so well off" rather gentleman and persue him to buy our tickets in a DTC, he generously buys tickets for us Rs5 each on a 10Rs route, Ashish still the stupid shy one, better would've left him look for his own options.(I know we were screwed if the checker got on); through out the journey our eyes trying to hide away from the conductor's who kept asking where we intended to get off. Finally and thankfully not before we get kicked off at Munirka.
Now, no money, mommies not aware of the scene so can't afford an auto....so yet another "not so well-off gentleman", in with his oh so debile scooter (ass flattening seats) on which we go for a tripling ride to reach back home.
So 2 months worth cash gone, food gone, recherché stuff gone....but the only thing we got to keep was the memory...;) and of course how stupid my best friend was.

Bill Gate's 11 Rules
Can't sleep, have nothing better to do. Found this piece of paper resting on my table, for a few months now. It was relocated time and again when i switched on my fan or if i had to note a phone number on it or when i tried to pull something off from underneath it.
I am too full to retain it, too indolent to get up extend an arm and throw it, and thought it was good enough to put it here on the web and then could carelessly leave it on the floor just to get broomed away without giving me much workout. Leastwise it would be here till the end of time, (is what I wish to think cz other than nature its only going to be computers that would end our time). So basically, I could have this as a reference for my life.
This is an extract from one of Bill Gate's speeches and we'd cal it rules that you will never be taught at school.
1. Life is not fair - get used to it.
2. The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
3. You will NOT make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with car phone, until you earn both.
4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping they called it Opportunity.
6. If you mess up, it’s not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
7. Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
8. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
9. Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested helping you finds yourself. Do that on your own time.
10. Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
