End of Lucknow Part I

We are now told that we have our second installment of our training at ZRTI, Udaipur. So we shall leave lucknow by the month end.. But before going, we were being treated by the faculty members at Zero degree which is a discotheque at lucknow. Some people danced, some people made others dance. We just sat at a place seeing others make a fool out of themselves..

What happened at the disc wasn't sensational, but the thing which happened after that. When alcohol goes down, its not the person who talks, but alcohol. Something similar happened and i realized that if I were married, I would never bring my wife to such a party. I feel that even I should not attend any of these booze parties.

Culturals

Amid much hype, Cultural events started. I don't know why they were called culturals when what actually happened was literary.. Anyhow two quizzes, a couple of debates, extempore and JAM followed with nothing but chaos reigning supreme..

I guess a book can be written- " How not to organise an Event".

Sports Events

Two cricket matches, Badminton events, snooker, Table tennis and Chess were conducted among others and I got to see the reality of almost every person. Some ambitious, some over ambitious, and others excessively ambitious. Some knew nothing but wanted to seem like they knew everything. Thats how our character is; to show off, to brag and to actually do nothing.

I used to play cricket in my school days, stopped in college, and now i am completely out of shape, form and skills. I say that i don't play cricket well but I shall start playing it when i will regain some form; Thats a different issue altogether. I am not a good badminton player either even though i used to play regularly in my college days.. Its my aim now to better my game and to come upto the level of some good players here..

Although the sports events were well choreographed, still some confusions occured in the draws.. that apart i was content that i played alongside Ajay and not a person who assumed himself to be a know-it-all.

Back to Home

Home Sweet Home

It was the first time i celebrated my birthday away from my family. Truly speaking I have started to feel at home but even then i have a gut feeling that i'm unacceptable by a few. Waise logon ke liye main kahoonga 'My foot'. Its bad to talk bout these things, but worse to take their names. I do not believe in backbiting and it is a sin in Islam. All these things made me get a little Home sick.

The visit to Bangalore was very much important for me for three reasons. First, I was missing my Betu; Second I was missing my Family members and last but not the least I wanted some timeout.. Although I was away for about 5 days, I had to travel for over 75 hours in toto. Resultant- I got to spend only two days at home. While at Bangalore, Me n Sadi purchased a Laptop for her- HPG42-477TU.. Now something similar should be procured for Aapi also. Anyway, Kulsum and mom accompanied me to the station to see me off.. I didn't feel like leaving but Kya karen.. Reached Lucknow on 19th to get back to classes......

Happy New Year

Wishing a happy new year to all of you.. Lets welcome the year 2011 by having some resolutions. My resolution for this year is going to be that "I shall try to be as good as its possible at being regular to classes".

I doubt if the resolution will be kept up by me. Our new year night was at MB club at Lucknow. Mohamed Bagh Club is supposed to be the most prestigious one at Lucknow. But it is nothing compared to the comfort, grace and satisfaction you could get at home. My resolution for the next year is that i will try to avoid a Club night for new year.. Even then, the night went fine with 2 hour dancing by the IRTS gang.. Best dancer according to me was my buddy who keeps on forgetting my name - Anoop; He calls me Qureshi, siddiqui but never Farooqi.. His dance on "Munni badnam hui" was the best imitation of Sallu Bhai..

Anyhow after the pictures were posted by Arjun on facebook, i noticed something. One of our friends tagged our pictures but I was not tagged in any of the images. This keeps me wondering if I am purposely being treated this way. I am trying to neglect these things as i feel that my impact in positive sense will outclass his negativity..
