Perfectly messy prefect: Day 6
Everyone was sleeping when I woke up today. Switched on the tv from standby and watched election news. Hope and change, more about it later. So, chithrana by laxmanna. The main cook was absent because she went Bangalore with her child for health care. And this guy found all the leaves stuff he needs from…

Perfectly messy prefect: Day 5
The security was sleeping when I woke up. Amazingly, everything was in store today. Nothing bought from outside. Scrubber still not delivered. Suhas stayed at mess today waiting to draw cheque from warden. But he didn't get it today. And just as I was about to leave for posting, got a call from ladies hostel…

Perfectly messy prefect: Day 4
In the morning, it's not as cold as the first day, these days. Anyhow I've returned Aquib's fest hoodie. It was rotti in the morning. Attendance was maximum. Sunday. It's feast for noon. After breakfast Uday and Manja were running around Mysore for things. While I sat at the kitchen: "sir, onion should be big…

Perfectly messy prefect: Day 3
Unlike yesterday, eventhough I was slightly aware at 5 o'clock, I woke up only when the alarm rang at 6. Remembered that I had left the workers' attendance book in Fadnis room last night and woke him up early in the morning. In the mess, milk and curd were just arriving. Everything was bought from…

Perfectly messy prefect: Day 2
Since I want to make it a habit to wake up early (one of the reasons I wanted to be prefect early on in the year) I will do the breakfast duty today. And as always I've woken up 40 minutes before when I should have. Thus this paragraph. – Ha, it's 10 in the…

Perfectly messy prefect: Day 1
Despite the inclination towards staying out of hostel every moment possible, I took up mess prefect-ship this November of 2012, partly due to my mother tongue, partly because I desperately want to be organized. Ever since Nilam hit the east coast yesterday it's raining like malarial fever. Yet I woke up without any alarm at…

OT & OPD
I wanted to be a pilot once, because I thought it was the busiest multitasking job. Should thank my partial color blindness for distracting me from it because inside the Medical Officer inside the Out-Patient Department holds that record. He was attending phone calls, sending commands, instructing PGs, attesting certificates, examining patients and in between…

Faults that are Nobody’s
More often than not in life things go wrong because of nobody’s fault. But the trouble is when we try to find someone to be blamed. With the realization that some shit happens because of cumulative errors that cannot be stashed upon a single person, comes the inner peace of not having to argue over…

Are You Cool if You Perform Bad in Your Duties?
It is not cool that you don’t touch your textbooks. Seriously. I’ve hundreds (literally) of friends who when asked how studies are say "Who cares?" maybe because they actually don’t care, or maybe just to appear cool. But it’s just painful. To think that not studying properly, having fun all the time, makes one cool…

What Ails Our Higher Education? Let’s Stop Blaming The System
This post is intended to supplement the post of the same title in SVYM founder’s blog. "Simple living and high thinking" was Gandhiji’s motto. But most of the Indians have failed to imbibe that. And that’s indirectly led to all problems we are facing today. Education, from the elementary level, is failing to make children…
