first official day in college(3rd august 2008 i think, if my amnesia hasn't become too severe), five things happened to me, which havn't happened together since..so much, all in a day's work!!
first, i didn't wake up to a puke stained bathroom floor
second,i went to class at 9 in the morning sharp and was made to suffer all 4 lectures by samir(my then friend, who as an aftermath of that gruesome slaughter on my sanity, i've grown infinite disliking for!!)!!..
third, i cared to have a bath, put on my best clothes and shoes, wear my favourite cologne, almost half a bottle of it(and i still have the other half preserved!), combed my hair after gelling it up, used fairness cream(fair n lovely, handsome wasn't available then) before heading for class with roomie 'sunil'..(hmm ok the gel and cream part was me getting carried away while writing, but others almost did actually happen!!)
fourth, i had breakfast in the mess..1/2 egg omelette with 2 slices of bread(no butter!)..and to my absolute shock and disbelief, i was denied more omelette!!..breakfast king size, yeah right!!
fourth, it was the only day i looked at the females and (tried to) praise and appraise them alike; being a connoisseur of 'fine arts';), i've made a killing being a critic of the fairer sex closer home..but in college, that was my only day..no guts, no glory for me in jamdoli!!
that roughly sums up my(and of a lot others' like me) only 4 hr. stay inside an LT.
from the 4 lectures which passed by tangential to my puny brain, i had to my bemusement only one major 'doubt'..not wanting to look like someone asking obvious question, that too on the first day, i trashed it for then..
however it has haunted me often, and so i've finally decided to park my bum on a chair and try n unravel the mystery behind the most esoteric(sorry i didn't mean to scare you with words, just that i couldn't think of any other) abbreviation.
question:when the class rooms have 'LECTURE HALL' written big, black n bold over them, why do stupid people still call it the LTs???!!!..shouldn't the abbreviation be LH; if yes, what indeed could LT mean???
today, after almost a year, i try to answer myself, listing below a few possibilies of the abbreviation, LT..
LT:
1).Ladies' Toilet: possible, coz they spend as much time here as i do on my pot, so a class room may just be synonymous with a toilet..(note:if you find this gross and vulgar and are planning to abuse and curse me for it, i suggest you go get yourself a life, you need one)
2).Land of Teetotallers(means people who don't booze): only people regular in classes are those who don't booze, coz who likes to brave a hangover at 9 in the morning and then brave androgynous(trust me i don't enjoy using these words but its in my and the blog's best interest. hint:bobby darling is an example) teachers.
3).Lets do the Tango:what else does that comp. wizard i spoke of in the last post do?!!..with all his gesticulations, LT is indeed a free Tango show!!
4).Lunatic Territory: and you thought i'd call it loser's territory.:)
5).Lol together:this is the only place where we all lol(laugh out loud, but read lol, as in rhyming with all, for effect) together; to lol(int)together, all together, cheers!!
the next part of this post(part 2) will be put up shortly after i've returned from my short trip to bangalore with a friend..i should be back by the 22nd..
in the second part, i intend to give commical(but not vulgar) names to our dear rockstars with microphones on the stage, singing into them lame theories and theorems of electronics, computers and what not..and also shed some light into their inner world, how they came to be what they are and other trivia.
till then, cheers(non-alcoholic cheers while home n grounded)..love you guys, and really miss you all..lots of plans being made for a great grand return i hope, don't forget to count me in!!..;))
