The Turn of Events .... leading to SineDie!!!

Manish,my friend, few weeks earlier said that nothing happens in our college(He is from another college) and by 'Nothing' he meant nothing of the sort of police case,mass rebellion,mob fighting etc. And I felt pretty good about it or bad or both at the same time I don't know.But his wish will come true so soon was something I never dreamt of.
As far as I remember this all started yesterday at around 8:30 PM when Ranjan and Me were going to have food in the mess.We saw few guys racing up the stairs with the 'Mother******' word for someone and we overlooked it as another of everyday crap between some X & Y of the hostel.It was when we were having dinner that we heard heavy shouting and saw people rushing towards the hostel gates.By the time we went out to see what these people have 'Achieved' it had turned into a heavy mob with people on both the sides of the gates.There were arguments and there were counter arguments and then there were more arguments and more of 'Mother******'.Some familiar faces which we always find during such 'Outings' in the hostel and some new faces too were seen this time.I tried to understand what the actual matter was...just for the sake of my General Knowledge.But what ever they told sounded not of a big issue.After 'Chennai Superkings' again won the IPL league match against 'Royal Challengers Bangalore',we came back to our rooms and were discussing this whole drama lightly.Then the big events started to happen.In our floor,in our block there lives a guy by the name of Imraan whom I hardly know although he lives two rooms away from mine ...classical example of how good my GK is!Anyway a whole mob of other branch students came at the door of his room and started to bang his door which was closed from inside...but thanks to the good wood our rooms' door are made up of ..it didn't completely ripped off.When we were thinking that its finally over...it was actually the beginning of the bigger event.Our branch students retaliated this incident and soon there was a complete mess on the corridor of our floor.They had come prepared with hockey sticks and wickets as the previous group had done.People who used to call each other friends till yesterday were shouting abusing and beating each other.Well not much though.I was there but I never wanted to indulge in this for the simple reason it was not concerning me.But then something happened and I could not hold myself back.

Saurabh Pratihasta is one of the guys in our college that I truly adore for the simple fact that he treats even his enemies with fairness.And that's why probably he is so much famous around here.He was there at the midst of everything pleading for his friend's cause for whom the whole matter started.I saw him trying to solve the whole issue with talks but the other people were probably not much interested in that.Finally someone called him names and asked people to beat him.I saw Vikash Sahu pouncing on him ... he says he was there to stop the fight... however at that moment I felt his intentions 'otherwise'.And yeah Vikash is one of the guys from my +2 days in Rourkela.I don't know what got into me and I just hopped onto him and grabbed him by his neck with my arms and pulled him away.I was just trying to stop him from harming Saurabh but to them it seemed 'otherwise' and thinking me to be one of the guys involved in the whole fiasco,two of them turned towards me to hit me.In self defense I had to return them back ... but very soon I was pulled out of that tangle by Sambit Mohanty,one of my neighbors.I heard Vikash calling out my name loudly and proclaiming 'Now Vivek you are DEAD!!!'.Anyway the day ended somehow and we returned to our rooms.People came flocking into my room asking me why my name suddenly came into limelight , given the fact that I have never been involved in such 'Mighty' things!And I explained them my reasons for 'jumping' into the controversy.My fight was not because I was anywhere concerned about my branch but it was because Saurabh was there and he was trying to pacify the situation.If we don't fight for our friends at need,we cannot fight ever.Okay that's isn't my punch line anyway.

Today,the day started calmly but I was sure as the day will progress something will happen!In the evening when I was busy preparing the Seminar using Flash ,I heard the roar of the Kings' Palace II Lions again and I knew that its the time small creatures like me should make ourselves safe!The fight again began and this time in greater magnitudes.Our branch has a notoriety of being divided,and this was seen yesterday too.But today was different.Everyone seemed charged up and ready to blow the head of the other if there be any such need.Well few intelligents still considered it better to keep themselves away from all these.And today,I also chose to be one of the intelligents.After about an hour or so when there was 'All Quiet on the Western Front' that I ushered out of my den.To get a quick review,I inquired people and they said that Saurabh came heavy on others and they(Few Students from other side) have been arrested (by police).Students of my branch and others except those who were involved in the fight yesterday,were waiting outside the hostel for them to be released by the police.The police outpost is just in front of our hostel,coincidentally.But they too knew this could mean dangerous as everyone was in a mood to tear them apart.Their(Other Side's) support system has either been dried up or forced to flee.
All 'high post' faculties were there...well not all but Dean was there.Faculties tried to infer us to go back to hostel ,at least inside the gates,but everyone was reluctant to death.They finally asked us to lodge an FIR against them and it was to be signed by everyone present there.We did that.They required people with 'Visible Injuries' to undergo medical checkup to confirm the physical assault on them.And few others were required to stand as the witness.All said and done,We (As I had also received few injuries ,rather scratches,on head)were sent for medical examination.While returning from there,we heard Sine Die has been imposed and everyone is asked to leave the college by 10 AM tomorrow.We saw few people with packed bags leaving now itself.For them college bus was standing near the hostel gates.
Came back to my room and I found people deeply engrossed in their studies!!!!
Aisa ho sakta hai kya???Everyone was talking about their version of the whole events.I,somewhere, feel I could have avoided being one of the 'Focus' of all these events but again I feel whatever I did was the best as a friend and person.Still,I expect them to retaliate once the Sine Die is over.And yeah,people are expecting more troubles once the Sine Die ends...this time from the college's front.We have heard, college(Or rather our department) comes strictly against the E&TC branch people.Last time after the Sine Die a large number of good guys too received 'Backs' in the semester examination.Anyway,wo to jab hoga tab hoga.Abhi to ghar jaakar papa ko kya bolunga wahi soch raha hun.Daant to pakka padegi.Khair koi baat nahi.In incidents ke bina Engineering pura ho jana bhi to acha nahi hai.Just kidding.Do not want to face such situations again ever!!!

A Very Happy 25th Anniversary Papa-Mummy...

Hi everyone!
Today is an occasion of lifetime.My Mom-Dad have grown 25 together, today.And they are happy and contended as always.But the worst thing is that none of their children are with them right now!I m here at college attending boring lectures ,Nidhi is at Nagpur attending classes for her CA preps and Vaibhav had to leave for attending the marriage of Ashish Bhaiya.Anyways,thats just a coincidence and we will surely make up for this day (Although I know this day wont return ever anyhow) when we all are together,may be in 1st week of june.
Well this is probably the day to tell the whole world how my Papa is...
Okay first,a formal introduction:My Father's name is Shri Ajay Thebaria and he is a Businessman.We have a family business of timber and recently we have also expanded to Two Wheelers Finance and Transport.Papa...he is a blend of a philosopher who really practices abstinence and a true family man who can die for us.He has been the Strongest pillar of strength to me throughout my life so far and is still going strong.I really think that the patience and understanding he has ... he is the one man responsible for the building up of my career.I remember whenever my exams used to be there...he used to tell me a single 'Mantra' and that is 'Work honestly..this is what is in ur hands..the rest(results) you cannot control'.And this always worked 'coz I knew my tensions end the day I write my exams.I am not answerable to anyone if I do bad somehow.Fortunately I did well consistently.AT times when I was down,he used to try hard to understand my problems and suggest remedies to them...most of the time solutions which have shaped me the way I am today.One thing I know of him is he cannot hate anyone,easy to mingle with but still maintains his gravity among people.Its still tough for me to disobey any of his orders even if our views differ.

I remember when I was in std V ,studying at Sainik School Tilaiya,and the family was going through very tough times....everyone was asking him to withdraw my name from the school as it was very expensive.They were suggesting the native school for further schooling...but it was his determination that kept me going 'coz shifting from an english medium school to a hindi medium school would have been very tough if not impossible.Such situations kept popping up every now & then ...and may be that were the reasons I always told myself that I can't fail...at least in academics.My life from std VI to Std XII was like a dream.There were problems at home and there was popularity at school.And all the while he was there to help me keep my feet on the ground and not to get carried away by the fame and again whenever the problems of home used to upset me...he was there to pacify my restless mind.

Papa,I love you ... I know I never say this...Neither do you but I know you love me the most among all.With you I feel I am protected.You are the reason for my success,my creativity quotient.I never expect you to be mistake-less but you seldom make any and especially when it comes at the life of your children.I accept there have been times when I was very upset with you,internally,and never expressed them but thats okay 'coz I know I have upset you at lot many other occasions and you didn't say anything either.There are thousands reasons why I respect you but to mention a few: its your mild and sober nature,the way you respect your elders and create an example for us,the way you say that whatever you are doing for us are the part of your duty as a father and you do not expect us to return anything.I love your keenness to learn(earlier it was Palmistry and now its Homoeopathy ).

Above all,I love you Papa.

Now its the turn of my Mom.Her name is Mrs.Pratima Devi Thebaria and she is a housewife.She is not very sharp,neither very educated but she knows to love her kids,her family.Papa says,this is only she knows.But she also know how to cut costs and manage the household even with the meagre income.She will not buy a saree for herself for months yet she will have money for us to buy clothes on every occasion and this thing we realized very late.She is everything a mother is like...the mother we have read in out textbooks and heard from people.She doesnot know how to make 'chats' interesting and all that she talks is generally household.She is my emotional quotient and probably the reason why I cry while watching (senti)movies!!!She can feel others pain and always wants to do something to ease it.She sounds impractical!!!She is no doubt but world will be a better place to live in with such people.Earlier she was bad tempered and we used to get 'broom'/Log thrashing on not studying properly or for doing any mischief....but after the impulse is washed off I have seen her crying by my bed gently roving her hand over me.That was probably the effect of the time we were facing!She is now more milder and sweet.Everytime I go back home,her biggest worries are which clothes have I brought which she can wash...and what(snacks) will I like to take with me when I return.Although I generally am very negligent about food and hardly eat whatever she sends me..I never stop her from diong that 'coz I know this is how she expresses her love to her child who has been so far away from her for most of his life till now.She likes being vexed by Vaibhav and me.Everytime she does anything for me ,he would tell her that she favours me and the next time she does anything for him..then thats my turn.She loves both of us a lot.And there is Nidhi.She loves her a lot too.
I love you mummy for teaching me how to be contended with what ever you have and not to complaint much.I love you for your pure heart which cannot harm anyone.I love you for loving Papa so much that I respect marriages because of you two.

I love you mummy.


Now this is a promise,when you both turn 50 together,we all be together and we will make the day worth remembrance for ever.


Love you both....

A better way to apply shampoo ...

Well,this one is for some extra lucky guys like me...who hav been facing one of the greatest epidemics of our times and that is "HAIRFALL"!Okay thats not an epidemic ...I kno.

So first a brief history of my hair problem.There was a time I cud afford SRK kind hair for they wer really silky and 'head'-full.And I was particularly proud of them.I remember when I was in Std VIII and those were the days when I had just stepped into my teens...and there was a girl in my class whom I wanted to impress...anyway thats whole another story....so I used to spend hours standing in front of the full body size mirror in our hostel...combing my hair from one style to another and expecting her reactions....But as the line goes 'No good thing stays for ever' so it happened in around std X when I came to realize that I have started to loose my hair in bigger lot...but that wasn't a big problem at that time 'coz I had pretty dense hair scalp.The problem intensified during my +2..and by the end of it,I had started to shave my head completely once or twice in a year..and mstly during winters...as these are the worst times for hair-fall.Medicines didnt work but hopes still survive.

So now instead of wasting money on meds,I hav learnt to live wid it...although not completely.This Shampoo techniques I realized by chance.Its nothing great but worth a try.Before U shampoo the scalp of ur hair...take small amount of shampoo and with a small amount of water gently rub it on the hair...dont try to rush thru anything but just put it on ur head.After a while rinse it off and then apply shampoo again this time reaching out to ur scalp and rub gently.Rinse off.You will notice far less hair fall.And den after the bath ...when ur hair are wet..dont rub ur towel hard on them but use the blotting way to soak the water off ur head.Wait for 30 minutes before combing ur hair gently and that too with wide tooth comb.Taking such care of my hair has reduced my hair loss to a considerable amount.Hope it works for everyone who are depressed for they have a thinning hair line.
