Of studs and girls

history of the post:
-------------------
a post which was lying as draft since july 15th..that was the time we were working on m.tech project 1st stage..I decided to post it..although it is not complete..

-----------------------------------------------------------

time: evening 6.30ish..
scene: two of our studs are walking on the main road in iit, towards main gate.. its a pleasant evening, cloudy but no rains, and cool breeze from the lake side, sunset time..

stud1: you should listen to marwa..
stud2: i dont like ragas of that category, they make me tense..sort of disturbing..
stud1: no, you should listen to it..see..purpose of music is not to make u feel good..it should synchronise with your thoughts of that moment.. and.. it does not make u sad..it makes u aware of the reality..gets u down to..*pause*

some unknown stud and an unknown girl zoom by in a bike..towards main gate..and our studs dont get to see their faces

stud2: that was a PAUSE (said with a i-caught-u-red-handed expression)
stud1: yeah..i know..
stud2: i bet she was NOT GOOD..
stud1: but looks GOOD to me..
stud2: i am talking about her face..
stud1: yeah..may be..

-----------------------------------------------------------
time: night 9.30, same day
scene: our studs are going towards math department, after having dinner at hostel 2 canteen

stud1: what is the status of your report?
stud2: have written 7 pages..and I have to write 3 chapters more..so may be around 15 pages pending..
stud1: deadline kab hai?

some other unknown stud and another (known?)girl zoom by in a bike..in the opposite direction..since the street lights are not meant to lightup peoples' faces(or any part of the human anatomy, for that matter), our studs dont get to satisfy their curiosity

stud2: *pause*..july 23rd..
stud1: 23rd? to abi itna fight kyon mar raha hai?
stud2: 23rd? its july 17th..
stud1: how was she..btw?
stud2: JUST ABT GOOD..i guess..
stud1: mereko to chalegi..

--------------------------------------------------------------
time: afternoon 3ish
scene: crowded staff canteen..

stud1: I dont want tea..will have coffee
stud2: doun chaha ..ek coffee (to the man at counter)

our studs religiously go through the motions of collecting the coupon, giving it at the tea counter, taking tea in plastic cups and going out to sit on the nearby compound wall..two of them (studs 1 and 3) sit on the compound while stud2 decides to stand so that he can see their faces while talking..

stud1: food at shakti was amazing..(said with a playfull smile..the i-had-something-good-that-u-missed smile)
stud3: arre..aaj purnpoli badiya tha..matlab..ek dum(picking up clue from stud1)
stud1: yeah..purnpoli was out of this world
stud2: tho? (plays along)
stud1: it was seriously very good..
stud3: it was hot..and soft..just the right amount of sweet..and with ghee...ummmmmm...
stud2: (faking anger) abe..I overslept and missed food at shakti..ek bar miss kiya tho itna ..(realises that the other two are not interested in provoking him anymore but the object of their interest is actually behind him)

stud2 stops talking..and turns around slowly, a practice that he believes will fool the girl he is about to look at, into believing that he did not turn around to look at her..how did he know the other studs were looking at a girl? you may ask..it was obvious!! would be his reply..together these studs have done enough such acts to make it obvious for him.

stud2: she is that girl from sursandhya right? (forgetting that he was supposed to be angry)
stud3: yeah...
stud2: she is GOOOD..
stud3,1: yeah..(in unison)
stud2: yar..mereko lagta hai..mein zindagi bar aise hi ladkiyon ko classify karte rahejavonga.. mera kuch nahi honewala..
stud3,1: yeah..*sigh*(in unison, said with a I-can-empathise-with-you nod)
