The Public Diary

“I’ll do this work tomorrow” says a person who has delayed the work for the past few days. Being lazy is an art in itself. One can say that “I am processing something creative in my mind that is why I am not in motion” whereas the reason behind being motionless is the lazy quotient indeed. You’ll have to come up with innovative ideas to stop people from calling you lazy. These are just lines to be said. Such people don’t give a damn if people call them lazy. I am unfortunate enough to live with such lazy people. The lazy family! Getting into details, lazy people spend their holidays laying, trying to sleep and sleeping… It hardly takes 10 - 15 minutes for them to fall asleep. (At least, they show it like this in Shinchan series).  My sister spends her free time by sleeping. Once I saw her going to bed to re-sleep just after 2-3 hours passed since she woke up. Ask me what my dad’s possible after-retirement-plans are, with no second thoughts in my mind I can say lazing a...

People usually have fond memories of ‘First day at College’, ‘First day at ­­­­­coaching class’ or any such place. As a school kid, whenever I saw any essay wherein description of first-day-at-so-and-so-place was required (obviously one among the other options), I would turn blind for that particular option. In this way, I got fewer options than others for writing essay. It further implies that I’ll have to blabber on some other topic which is not interesting either. (Oh! I’m getting diverted.) To start with, every child has bad, rather crying ‘First day at school’.

As my dad was a teacher in the same school, in which I was supposed to study, my teachers were reportedly telling my father about me crying continuously. Then came the time w...

Pranks After hearing this word you start smiling. Probably, the reason for your smile is the flashback of all mischievous things you have done in your past (or maybe of which you’ve been the victim). People who have monotonous childhood are often called as ‘good boy/girl’. But, when they are grownups, all they have is this ‘good’ tag only. No naughty-kid stories. Sadly, I fall in this category of ‘good girl’. Gradually, I changed and started doing all such deeds. It has now become my daily routine to boo ( making a dog like sound to scare someone ) my sister who screams every time I do this to her (despite knowing that I’m going to boo her). Once I was reading a newspaper aloud, in which some haunted story was reported. After listening to it, my sister went to kitchen for some work and I followed her. I don’t know for what reason, she started screaming. I was laughing on her reaction and to scare her more I started laughing in a ghostly manner and she was saying “She is haunt...
