Over the years I clearly know that i have been a major pain in the ass for quite a few people, especially the people i decide to "friend" and get close to. I also know how many people have clearly told me that they would kill me or beat me up if they ever had the chance, to which i scoff at their remarks by saying "its a LOOOOONG line" , which to an extent is true.
People have called me a freak over the years and I take that in my stride because being freaky ain't easy but it sure is fun, invariably I end up making some person burst out in laughter or at least bring a smile to someone's face, now something that might shock you people is that this freak within me was not always there, in fact I at one stage of my life was something that i hate nowadays .....a Geek.
The proper bangalee stereotype of always studying and doing brilliantly well in school, always ranking among the top 5 and taking part in almost all of em crappy school activities,plays,sports,debates,elocution's[7 year reigning champion at my school] but then when i came back to Calcutta and utterly failed at doing well at what i was good at,because of the competition of bangalees a change took place and the real freak bonbon came out sometime in 2005
Normally I dont really like talking about geeks but an evening forced me to blog about it at least, it was the holi weekend and my parents as the usual weekend tradition goes were to have dinner at some restaurant, its a tradition that no food is cooked at my house during the weekend,kind of a thank you to my mom , so my dad tells me about this new place that he found called "Krystal Chopsticks" , i know that's not the correct spelling but hey , lets cut the place some slack as the food really was fantastic but we got a table next to another family, again no problems there.
So by the time we finish ordering then the irritation starts and i am not talking about some sort of rash in the never regions, rather it starts off with
Son #1:I don't want to go to San Francisco [in this so fake American accent]
Mom:Why not? Lets go to San Fran
Son #1:but the only thing there is the Golden gate,lets go to San Diego,its better there
and i am thinking ,you fucking gay,that's what san fran is full off,gays like you
While this was still tolerable they then went on with a 5 minute debate about where to go,while i still couldn't figure out why they wanted to go anywhere at all,because they never got to the point, by the time this crummy debate ended and i thought ,maybe i can enjoy a little piece of tranquility they then start something i never want to be near again in my life
A geek debate,you know a debate that is so geeky that it defies the logic of debating and well communication and enjoyment for lets say the masses of the non geeks
it starts off with Geek son #1,hey that rhymes!,"So who do you think contributed more to science? Einstein or Newton"
I hear this and my mind goes,WTF are you on? I mean come on its a saturday night,a fucking beautiful night,with great food and of all the things to discuss on such a beautiful time ,turd comes up with this.
People would normally shoot this down ,I mean I would have literally ripped him a new asshole ,but his mother and father started a proper debate over this,probably like the geeks they are,this went on for a good 10 minutes, I guess they even have a long nice debate about whether colgate or pepsodent uses the correct amount of fluoride in the respective toothpaste brands.
All the while i have my head in my hands and my mom asks me "whats wrong?"
i tell her that the freaks are discussing crap and Can i open my trap to shut em up,to which she naturally says "NO",because she knows of my "talent"
While the debate doesn't end the waiter comes up with the bill ,mom picks it up and starts lambasting the poor waiter
"What the hell is this,i cant read anything,its printed so lightly,what the hell?"
And i felt so bad for the bloke but then
he smiled,took the bill from the lady's hand and flipped it around,She was reading the wrong side of the bill ,EPIC PAWNAGE and THAT shut the lady up,which just proved my point that being geeky is worse than being freaky,but that you might say is just my point of view right?
well thanks to all my MBA classes i decided to hold a poll,so i put up a question as to who would you punch first if you had the chance and be completely immune from punishment
A geek or a Freak
9 out of the ten respondents said GEEK
and one person who did say "Adeem" said so because of that barnstorming result i had in my MAT exam[98.55%,don't ask me how i got it,i am just as baffled as every other person] so i count it as another vote for the geek
So there you have it a 100% vote for punching a geek anytime over a freak.
Nuff Said

Sexism and Equality
Now most people , in fact women as a whole complain about the fact that they arent treated "equally" or given equal chances to do things and are always bullied out by men, they rant and its quite justified because we have been [as a country and a complete community] been trying to push the entire female gender down under the soles of the other gender men, am keeping the 3rd genders away from this topic, for now.
My point now is that while we have tried our level best to you know bridge the gap between the sexes and try to treat the other gender equally but still a few of them, i dont mean the vast majority but still a few of em arent happy enough with our "treatment" of the other sex, they still say that men are preferred and treated better in most circumstances, but the question is do women actually know how we men treat other men, as in friends and or enemies?
First thing we do is abuse the shit out of each other, either behind each others backs[ well actually this is what women do], if we men have to say something we do say it , no beating around the bush and of course abuse the day lights out of each other especially if we are friends, in fact I personally abuse my friends and close friends a hell lot more than the people i hate or dont like, so i should technically and every man should not shut their trap when they see a woman close by, because of course they should see how we arent acting or treating em differently
Infact that is my bone of contention, why is it that women are supposed to be treated the same but still be treated differently when we men are around em,dont abuse,dont shout,dont act like you have never eaten food before and hog out, dont make sexual jokes,its not like women dont do the same,just because they do it in a group all silent and unknown to idiots does it mean its alright for them but not for us?
Like in one case,while i was abusing in college a girl tells me
"adeem you should look at who is around you,like a girl is there, you shouldnt abuse"
me:did i abuse you?
girl: no
me:See thats the problem, when i try to treat men and women the same , you people still have a problem, and rather than saying that i treat women equally i end up being a sexist and a chauvinist .
Its simple, women have double standards,they want the best of both worlds
its like
They want to have the cake,eat it too,not share it,bake a brand new cake,show it to the men ,make em drool and then say,"you dirty rascals dont know how to behave,so we eat this cake also"
typical

Suspension Tension
Since i always start any of my blogs of by knocking off any conceptions you would have about the topic in the beginning itself, this time around it isnt the same, what i write as the blog topic is what i am going to talk about and not about the strength of suspenders or slacks
So let me start off with a prelude to what led to the unfortunate "suspension", we are lucky enough to have corporate connects , ie people from different companies come and lecture us about how the real conditions of work are and how things are actually done in a corporate and we are all very happy at the fact that we get such amounts of experience but some of the faculty who come are very knowledgeable and some just infuriate the shit out of us, well especially me.
Here is one such example where a visiting professor from a college in calcutta came to talk about green technology and well why we should apply "greenology" while we decide on factories and all and said "The reason why we are losing our natural resources so fast and cannot be sustainable is because of overpopulation that too of the Muslim nations like Malaysia and Indonesia"
Umm wait what?
India is more populous than both countries combined including the density of population, even china is more populated hell man south american countries are much more densely populated than India but hell he must blame the Musalman
So some of these sessions are a waste and especially if a session is at the last period the teacher would just go on and on and on and make us wait till 6 PM which means i would reach home by around 8 PM, this was something i was not looking forward to recently when we were told of another corporate connect on wednesday but as usual we decided on the last minute not to attend the session as it was the last class of the day and we knew it would be a drag.
So all me best 5 buddies from college decided to bunk the session little did we know what that had in store for us the next day,as we left college Wasim kept on saying even before our leaving the place
"Bhai aaj nahin karega toh bamboo parega", but as usual i didnt pay attention to his words, no one did but that ass's black tongue got us yet again.
So as we leave we see that almost 70 students arent attending the session but only 11 did ,oh well we though , this has happened before and all,the next day we reach college as usual and nothing seems out of the ordinary we had come up with a few excuses as to why we werent in the seminar but nothing too serious or anything, as soon as our first class was to start the Registrar came in and told all the people who attended the last session to go to another class and told the rest of us ie the majority of the class that
"Classes are suspended without any notice and you all must leave the campus in 5 minutes and we will take a decision after your parents call us"
Baaam panic and pandemonium strike because no one wants their parents to get involved, i dont care as i have a perfect record in everything in college and my parents know about all that i do in and out of college so a parents call is the least of my worries while most people are shit scared i have a wry smile on my face
"Chal at least i get a few days off"
Sir tells us to call the college at either 5 PM or before 10 AM the next day,so while we all leave i decide to call me mom and while i am laughing hard i some how blabber out that i have been suspended , now had i not been a STB student or had this been my first suspension my mom would have gone berserk but obviously she
didnt and rather than asking "WHY did you get suspended? She asked Well for how many days are you suspended?"
I was sure of a few days but even more funny was watching the creation of little factions of students who were plotting as to how to go about this problem whether to go and ask for forgiveness or to start a strike or to go and sit in class and hope for the best, 30 minutes later the same people are still waiting to do something, rather than do something on their own they want someone else to take the first step , no one did.
I decided no point in staying over and we all went back home, where i called me dad up and told him the situation and also the fact that i havent bunked any class and all and in fact this was the first seminar i had actually bunked and also told him to keep calm and not murder or obliterate someone over the phone like he normally can and mostly does on a regular basis. so he does call up the people and gives em a lashing as well about how his time was wasted while he was made to hold the phone and all but even he wasnt pissed off at me because well it wasnt my fault that i got suspended and i didnt get suspended alone it was just a way to shake up the students and you know make sure the parents know about what is happening here , not a bad move but the thing that really ticked me off more than the suspension was
The fact that it wasnt a suspension at all,one day off and then baaam we are to go back to college the next day?
Dammit i thought for sure i was to get a good old long weekend,friday off as well but as usual my luck is not as good as it could be and i had to report back to class the next day itself and everything was back to normal, no tension in the air and nothing, after all the melodrama and all that happened the previous day,the factions being made, the abuses being thrown the people getting shit scared about their parents call , it was back to normal again the next day
I mean i know i wouldnt get proper suspension like a month or something here but come on we all needed a break and a few days off from here wouldnt be the worst thing in the world, am sure even the teachers would have like a bit of peace and tranquility away from the students and their stupid ideas and questions, i know i would have loved it.
