This is not the philosophy of a transforming adolescent or the usual lines of a blog writer... but the true feelings of an unruly teenager!!...
My day does not begin like the other kids of ma age…No waking up at
Life was a celebration until 15 or something but like our princi says this transforming period just gets on ma nerves...
Okie…now I don’t wanna list out ma boring story n’ waste all the tym…so let’s get on to something betta…!!!
STD 11
April- June was the most exciting period of the year. One reason being the upcoming results of STD 10 boards(also coz dat marked the end of an hectic year…long lectures on systematic studies…advises on how to take along the crucial yr of one’s life etc…etc…etc…)
2nd reason was coz we wer going to our 11th grade. We wer told (by our seniors) dat 11th wud be the best times of
But trust me 11th is not a bed of roses…at least not for our batch. So many rules, regulations bla…bla…blaa…From 10th to 11 was a huge jump.
They have injected out all our energy enzymes n’ presently we are in a deactivated state.
BUT THERE WAS 1 DAY IN THIS YEAR THAT NONE OF
………………….EXCURTION……………….
By the end of September discussions about excursion had begun. N’ wat we heard was least expected… “EXCURTION FOR STD.11 CUT SHORT TO ONE DAY”. Well all I cud say was, “WTF”...Long protests, revolts or even pleadings wouldn’t help. Something decided once was decided for ever…
In the beginning all of us wer like, “Veegaland…no way…gone der tons o’ times”.
And then slowly the above said changed to “…hmmm…nokette…varano?”
N’ 2 weeks before the trip was to be most of us were like… “Of course da...last excursion…I’m definitely coming…one day enkil one day”…but yet der wer a few who weren’t still willing n’ they wer actually the ones who were most needed for a so called “jolly trip”.
We tried everything n’ finally convinced them (nangalu aara makkalu?).
By the end of Oct, they had a good news n’ a bad news for us. Good news like I said was the most awaited event of the year…
“EXCURTION FOR STD 11 ON 31ST OCT.”
HURRAH…CHEERS!!
Err…n’ wazz the bad news???
“Exam on 28th, 29th n’ 30th Oct.”
Owwwwwwwww….!
2 Fridays before 31st, this was how it went…, “hey Pooja wazzup?...hey u know what...2 weeks later this time we’ll be enjoying”
Pooja, “yeah ...I know...n’ these 2 weeks we’ll be studying!!!”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…..
Talks about the tour slowly resided n’ instead in our heads there were things like the equation of rotational motion n’ what the Chinese painter expected from his viewers etc…etc…etc…
English was our last exam. Least were we bothered about the rain being the poem of the Earth or why Ranga’s face turned into a roasted bringal. Instead our fields of interest were on what should be worn the next day, which all songs must be copied, which horror movie we preferred for the return trip n’ so many other things dat were yet to be decided.
N’ finally the day arrived…31st Oct, 2008 was the only day of the year dat I did not make any fuss about getting up at 3:30 in the morning n’ was the only time when I was excited about going to school!!!
By
All of us were inside the huge air bus. After the prayer the bus took off n’ as we crossed the St.Thomas gate we cheered, clapped n’ what not!
Few of them wer busy with the camera n’ the rest of us were tapping our feet to the rhythms of ‘pappu can’t dance’ n’ the latest hits of the year.
At about
…Photo sessions...posing (oof...Reshma Jeladharane kondu onnu smile cheyipikkan petta paadu!) hi, bye...OMG! Dat morning was the most beautiful dream! (COPYRIGHTS FROM Reshma Jeladharan!)
On the way to Veegaland…
Many others from different buses had joined us by now n’ after a few talks we decided to play Anthakshri…Rosemol ma’am was in our team n’ guess what?..Rosemol ma’am n’ Bindu ma’am were actually singing n’ dancing along with us…Can u believe that?? Rosemol teacher’s name is the one that entire STCS shivers on hearing!!! But that day we understood that they wer actually real sports n’ that they scream n’ scold us just coz they want us to be the best!
We reached Veegaland at about
We 1st got into the monster ride…Ahh! Sheesh!...That was a horrible start...Athira who was beside me was screaming out ma name n’ I…oof…what do I say?? They went at such a speed here n’ there n’ err….n’ finally they stopped! Thank God! There was a totally expression- less Toby opposite to me n’ u noe wat he asked me?... “Ninakku pedi aayo?...I dint get scared at all!!!”…errrrr….
It was not until we got into the space gun did we realize that the monster ride was actually nothing! Govind n’ John was almost in tears when they got down…Pavam! God! They held us upside down in the air for about 3 minutes n’ this happened 4 times! N’ the speed with which they did this gave a jerk to the belt that held us! For that minute I thought I fell down...I was dead!!! All of us were screaming our lungs out, “STOP THIS PLZZZZZZZ…STOP IT…TAKE ME DOWN!!...AMMAAAAAAA”!
After the ride all of us were shivering. That was an experience!! Seriously!
It was only after we got under the sprinkling shower that we regained ourselves back!

N’ yeah there was this mat ride….grrrrr….I’ve have never been so embarrassed before! Eh!
I was lying down on the mat n’ the man there told to go. I pushed n’ sheesh…dat mat did not move!!...err…Appozhekum avide whistle adi okke thodangi…Idiots! I was like “jammed” over there. Randum kalpichu I kicked off n’ u noe what happened??...I WENT SLIDING DOWN N’ THE MAT WAS STILL THERE…WHERE ‘TWAS BEFORE!
Have you ever experienced something like this before? No right! What could I do?...Aake chammi…avide chennu irikugeyum cheythu, aa mat aanenkil pokunathum illa n’ ottum sahikan pattanathu aa localzinte koovalum….sho!...chathu! I got up n’ walked the whole slide down L…Appol dha avide John… “eda...ninte mat koodi eduthondu po”….errrrrrr…(engane chorinnu vannanu ariyuvo?)
Funny part was that the same thing happened to Athira after that!...BSASAASSAAA…
Worst part was the “vayinokkis” over there…LOOSERS!...Nangalude boys wave poolil vechu avanmaarku sherikum koduthu…they deserve it. .JOBLESS PPL!
Wave pool was the last ride we could get in. Time was up n’ we had to leave. All of us changed n’ then it was time to capture the best moments in the film!
PHOTOGRAPHS!!
N’ between this Manu n’ Reshma fought!...(Alla eppozhum ollatha…but u noe! …[;-)]
There was a pic taken during this time…both of them wer looking in 2 different directions!...hehehehe…kie…they patched up again n’ then we headed for the bus.
Teachers had a very tough time tallying the kids in all the buses n’ by now Bindu ma’am had lost it… “Eh!...no ma’am… not today…plzzzzzzzzz!”...kie…ellam sheri aayi n’ she got her mood back (thank god!) n’ the bus took off n’ we crossed the gates of the largest water
GOODBYE VEEGALAND!
The return trip was awesome. In the beginning most of us were tired n’ charged up a little bit when we saw the rest of Happy Days…yeah…’twas a good movie…actually perfect timing I’d say. U noe watching a friendship based movie with friends always makes one feel nice. The best scene was when that guy was running away from his seniors n’ just then his entire batch mates came around to fight them back…J
FRIENDS ARE MA LIFE….YAAR...LUV YOU ALL!
N’ then we put a horror thriller, “the Exorcist”…But no…We weren’t allowed to watch it…L…kie saramilla…chuk it.. Later they put such a dump movie, Happy…Gosh what was that stupid guy doing all the time? Most of them slept off seeing his totally crazy actions! Hmmm…I dint feel sleepy [;-)]…Ramya was fast asleeeeeeep n’ Reshma Jeladharan, beside me was just too busy with something else!!! (heheheheh…sorry Resh).
Then Ramya n’ I spoke to Gayathri…missed her a lot the whole time… “why did u have to change
We got down for dinner at Alapuzha n’ by then all of us were tired. After getting back into the bus, Rosemol ma’am was like, “Kie, now the next stop is our school”…Though no one dared to tell it aloud, this was what everyone thought…, “Venda teacher….no need of going back”.
Coming back each one was doing different things. Lights went off n’ ‘twas totally dark. Traveling late night at
I was busy sending sms like many others…not to anybody far off but to ma friend who was rite behind ma seat!...Ahankaaram….allathe entha? If you have a mobile that has a free sms scheme then that definitely makes life easy!!!
Kie… time was up…Teachers got up. Bindu ma’am regained all her lost mood back n’ told to wake up everyone... “LAST ONE HOUR”. Lights came on, everybody got up.
MUZIQ!!
All of us were enjoying that last hour…We made the teachers dance…teased one another…told out many things which were secrets till then n’ enjoyed every second from then.
We reached TVM n’ slowly a few got down…. “bye…tata…birla…tc…”
At
Goodbyes, hugs…hmmm….wished that night’s travel never ended.
Mamma came…n’ I was here…back home…
The most beautiful dream had come to an end.
STD 11 excursion was over.
For another 1 week we were still in the space gun… the wave pool n’ came back to our real senses only when our physics n’ Math papers were handed over to us!!!
At the end of the day, ma buddies n’ I just said, “WE WANNA GO BACK”
(Who wouldn’t when u have such thick friends around u???)
