Those Three Words...

The three words which can express an ocean of thoughts and a sea of emotions.…

The words which represent Quintessence of a vocabulary....

The three words he used everyday but never understood..

Those three words reverberate in his mind..…

....

.......
..........

Zzzzzz…..feeling sleepy eh??...wake up??

This might be worst kind of verse you ever stumbled upon, but these are not a king’s musings and I still haven’t traveled back in time to become one.

And most importantly the words aren’t what you are thinking…

Anubhav you #@$%^&&...what the **** is this

Chillax yaar the words are “FUNDOO” and “MAAL”

Maal( adj): No this is not Gujarati derivative of a mall; it is by far the most often used word in my college. It is only used, by the supposedly ‘unfairer’ sex when he extols the opposite sex.

Our college boasts of a huge campus with area running into a figures I can’t count on my fingers (bear my ignorance coz I don’t know the exact area) .

The denizens of the city have unabashedly made it into a jogger’s park. Every morning the middle aged men/women flock the campus with their cool gizmos; I have even thought of a penalizing them for this.(Consider this, many of them don't even know name of the college and don't give a damm to it).


The fairer side (pun unintended) of this unholy act is that some of them are accompanied by their daughters and that is when we sometimes spring into action. As soon as somebody in the first hostel notices something good, he initiates a communication processes faster than CDMA technology. His voice reaches and reverberates in the other hostels making sure that maximum students enjoy the sight. (Do I see an engineer smile?)

You might be tempted to classify the engineers as mopes, but this is ,as we call it a direct result of “ratio error” or the “ratio problem” (all engineers might have understood me).

The quality factor probably is other part of the same issue. And didn’t somebody say “Jeweler is precious than the diamond itself”.. .and man worships beauty. Have you ever wondered why portraits of gods and goddesses are always beautiful? Has anybody ever seen them??…ok too much of philosophical justifications …

FUNDOO ( adj): This word also used very frequently and always giving a tough fight to “maal” for the top spot.

Meaning: It can have several at meanings, judging its widespread use but in its most basic form the word is used to represent a person whose fundamentals are clear and can easily sail through examinations with bare minimum study.

Usage : "I am not a fundoo"

Regional Derivative: "fundoo ché ": Meaning something that is fundoo. Ché in gujarati means something “that is”…

At this point I must also mention about the college quiz club called Suché :Which in gujarati means “ What is it?” and this name is our tribute to the state we study in.

Where’s the third word you #$$@@## ..oh well that’s was just to give an edge to the title .… I am yet to find a third one which can possibly match the popularity of the above two.

Moral Of All that Crap: Not every post having serious title and some serious stuff written in italics needs to make sense….so next time you read on, be prepared.

P.S: Btw after all that crap I wish to give you guys a small break; as don’t intend be in the blogsphere for at least a fortnight due to my exams…till then please write better posts than this one for me to read and pray for me ,coz your prayers might come in handy for me.

Last but not the least it's happy birthday to Mr. Hugh Hefner a.k.a luky bast**d.Read more about this amazing businessman in my own biography section in the side bar.


P.P.S :Please be free to rant me on this so that i don't come up with such posts in
future..

Smartalec said...

so i'm back! leave it 2 me 2 commit d same mistakes time n again:P!
wow! khizzy does make me feel embarrassed! i can hardly speak a couple of gujju lines one being "tamaru hayyu maaru paas che!" meaning yourheart is with me or somethin like that! learnt that in my first year with some hope but 3 years down n nothing has happened:(! never got 2 use d line!
anywayz nymph's idea is not bad! not bad at all! what say, khizzy;)?!

anubhav said...

isha: damm u, u forgot NIT surat...

--> niki not only u many others..

--> Mr steve ..please be satisfied with NIFT....:D....satisfaction is the key..

btw i dont think heart is called "hayyu ",in guj,...ne ways even my guj sucks...

Smartalec said...

well i didn't wanna take any chances on that one;)! so i learnt the line from a gujju, namely vivek! he's in my list! seemz like i'll have 2 confirm the hayyu part again! god know it means somethin else, n what if i even got d chance 2 use it n screwed up! nooo!
rahi baat NIFT kii.. well i'm a satisfied! but wudn't mind if the -girl:boy ratio in gandhinagar improved:D! the only ratio measured over here is d trees to person ratio which is 24:1!!! so do we need khizzy's gang up here or not, i leave it 2 u 2 decide:P!!

Unknown said...
