My college moves in mysterious ways, its miracles to perform

My college and my collegemates seem to be governed by a law of their own... I simply can't get it..

If your shoes/bag/socks/watch/mobile/jeans are top notch (read branded) then you're cool.. Otherwise it'll take you quite some time to get up that ladder.. It helps if
# You have the largest toy car model collection in the country
# Your father is a rotary club president
# You're a member of a band
# You go to singapore or florida to perform
# You have a car of your own
# You know alisha abdulla
# You own a mylo
# You have the ideal measurements (for girls) , you are filthy rich (for guys)
# You talk perverted stuff for chitchat
# Even your bathroom slippers are from adidas..

I didn't even know these things existed.. Credits are due to the one sitting next to me in class for this enlightment.

We were to have college on a sunday coz the NBA (for those whose minds jumped to basketball, I'm referring to the National Board of Accreditation) was visiting.. I think only ECE and MECH were made to come. Either ways I didn't go.

All the guys from all the depts are good pals.. Can't say the same for the girls. Apparently 50% of the girls are bitches and since it can't be you, it must be one sitting next/across you in the bus/the canteen/lab/class/exam hall/whatever

I don't know which wise guy cracked this but he said " The women around the world dress exactly the same way..to annoy other women"
I dunno the truth in that, but man, do girls have an eye for keeping track of your apparel !!
" Hey civil sir wore the exact crappy combination two classes back. Someone must burn it."
I happen to agree whole heartedly- the dress didn't deserve to see the light of day but I'm baffled.. How did she know what he wore two classes ago? She remembered even that combination.. (ok. the combo was a golden sorta shirt with navy blue pant. certainly eye catching. can't blame her really)

The girls are so particular about the dress. If you wear the same dress twice in the same month, god forbid !! You will hear this with 3 days to go till the end of semester- " This is the second time I'm repeating this dress. Actually i wore it during my vacation in the hols so this is actually the fourth time but only the second time to college. "
My reaction usually is a vague "Oh really? I never knew. How nice." And that never sits well with the girls. Sigh.

Girls are constantly judging and criticizing other girls. Ironic really when you think about it. "Hey she has such a huge ass." "Hey K and P broke up. I told you she was no good for him." "Hey D drinks !!!" And I'm like "cool" and that never sits well either.

I actually take notes in mech class. I dunno who's more screwed. Me or these females.

I like mech dept best. No girls to drive you nuts. No crappy attitude. But the best part is the guys are all brainy.. Every single guy I know is intelligent.. Makes my day

I move in mysterious ways to perform my miracles too. Like today when I moved and hit my foot against a chair and fractured my toe for the fourth time.

If parents come visiting, I have no clue as to what ppl normally do.. Coz when my parents come visiting, I turn my life around by 180 deg.. Like last week for example. My parents were to arrive at 6. But they were in chennai by 5. And they offered to pick me up. Heck no !! I was wearing a dress that dad hadn't bought for me and I had a bag that dad had no clue existed.. I bought them myself and of course dad would cut my already meagre allowance (read pittance) if I was buying stuff on my own without his supervision. He even decides how I should cut my hair (I didn't listen to him, Cut my hair like I wanted and then listened to the merits of obedience to parents and the bad things that happened to kids who didn't listen to their parents)

Eitherways They asked me to get down at IIT where they'd pick me up..I panicked.. I told them I'd go home on my own. They told me to get down at my stop and keep walking home and they'll pick me up on the way. Groan. I checked my purse. I didn't even have enough change. Fuck. I figured I'd have to pay the auto after I got home. They were in adyar when I got down. Darn. Two minutes away. I walked faster than I ever had. Caught an auto and ran up the apartment stairs. Yelled to my sister to change the books in my bag to another one that my dad would approve. Meanwhile I changed into another dress that dad would approve. I still hadn't paid the auto and I still didn't have any change. I was rushing about hiding the shoes and various other kurtas I'd bought and ran smack into my bro. "You're a life saver. You have 30 bucks?"

And that ass took 3 entire minutes to give me that money !! I told my sis to hide anything that would give me away while I thrust my ATM and FUEL card away.. Ran down the stairs three at a time to pay the auto and have it out of the way before my parents saw it or worse, saw me paying him.. And the driver didn't recognise me.. I'd gone in in a blue dress and had come out wearing pink.. He was gazing into the distance. I had to wave the money in his face.. The second the money changed hands I saw my parents come round the curve. Grouse. I beat it to the stairs and escaped..

That day, for the first time in a year I tasted mom's cooking..
