Hey Girl...
I just happened to read your blog and i must say it has this really young vivacious thing about it...if you know what i mean...

Now i really dont know you and all and its probably not even my place to be saying this but i will say it anyways...dont let the burden of the physics and the chemistry take a toll on your "serendipity":)
I have been there and i let that happen and i m still paying for it...

I was just reading that part where you wrote about the "slog now and make a better for yourself later " just ask yourself once...what is it that you really want...??

Just give yourself a fair chance....thats it...

Sherry said...

Sparkles , hey :)

Welcome to Serendipity.

Wow, your comment here has made me happy like nothing else..thanks for the compliment..
Well yeah I actually do feel that my Serendipity has gone away on a little holiday unannounced..but it will be back, I'm sure. :)

Give myself a fair chance, yeah.
Thanks for visiting, keep doing that. :)

Wow, congratulations girl, excellent job done..and that too twice in a row! The medals are really beautiful, the success must taste so sweet right?

I got a distinction in one of these McMillan ones for English when I was in 10th class. I was very happy then..haven't given it in 11th and 12th because my parents said it was no use, I should rather study the other things. I gave a science one in 10th too and I got the lowest marks in the school for that. But that wasn't my fault..the teacher who was distributing the question papers gave me one of the 9th class and I did it without realizing I was doing the wrong thing. By the end of the test, I was like "Dude, I can't believe it was so easy" and everybody else was like "What?! It was so damned difficult!" Good old days those. :(

Meanwhile, I've also been trying to think of a name for you. Sanyuktay sounds too lame :P What do you Rajasthani's call each other? Btw, did you know Sherry is also the nickname of Navjot Singh Sidhu..the guy who can't stop laughing, speaking etc? :P

Sherry said...

#Ish

Hey, Thanks a lot :)
Yeah, success is sweet indeed...

Ohmigawd..don't tell me you really didn't check what class the paper was for??!! Now be careful in ur JEE :P

Yeah I know that part about the name Sherry..and trust me, that fact is one pain associated with my name...(the other pain associated being me myself :P :D)
Well there's nothing that special about how Rajasthanis call each other...so figure it out yourself...all the best. (you get two thwacks with a hypothetical rolled newspaper if it's too lame :P )

#Lemon

Thanks dear...forget the existence of the word..it's your thought that counts...thanks again. :)

#Abhimanyu

Thanks so much...:) :) and i love the more-of-these-waiting-for-you part ;)

Thanks for dropping by!

Nope, I didn't check the paper lol. How was I supposed to guess it was for 9th grade? It was the first time I was giving that. When I saw it later, there was this "9" written in the top corner. I could never have figured out that something like that could happen. What can go wrong with the JEE paper? Maximum they'll give me CBSE-PMT paper and I'll do that..farak to pata chalna nahi kyunki kuch aata hi nahi. :P

Yeah but not all Sherry's are the same, so don't even think about NSS aka Navjot Singh Sandhu who is the only guy who can laugh at perverted jokes on National TV knowing that his wife might be sitting at home and watching. There's this show in which he comes with Mandira Bedi and he always keeps laughing and falling on her. The guy's clever I tell you, knows how to use his laughter to fall here and there. :P

Okay, I really have to think a decent name now because I'm really scared of hypothetical rolled newspapers. :P I was thinking about Sanyuktaben earlier but ben is Gujarati right? Pata nahi yaar Rajasthan ka koi word dimaag main nahi aa raha. Looks like I'll end up calling you "Oye chora" :P

Btw, you never told me you were on WordPress earlier. You were right? And yesterday when you left me a comment you signed into that account. Actually I found that out from your Orkut account..left you a message there. Check it out if you haven't already. I hope it was actually you though. If it was somebody else, I'm gonna sound like a total roadside romeo. :P

Sherry said...

#Shams

Thanks :) Double thanks for the compliment :) :)
You TC too.

#Ish

With JEE paper...yeah nothing can go wrong with it. Except the answers :P

Trust me, rolled up newspapers can hurt. Especially if they are rolled around iron rods/ hand grenades :P :D

Yeah, "ben" would be Gujarati....and oh puh-leaze, chhora stuff is as far removed from real Rajasthani as you can get..that's more like UP stuff. (holy crap, I'm discussing Indian languages when I have a Bio practical tomorrow..actually, THE bio prac. board wala.)

Well I am on wordpress, but that's a secondary blog that i've linked to all the random networking sites I have profiles on. That is because while I want the world to get a taste of how I blog :D I don't want my teachers or that random superglam snob I know to land here someday and discover how I've bitched about them, or to find out how hot my secret boyfriend is :P (Actually I haven't written any posts yet about the aforementioned vital topics, but now that I mention it, might just be a good idea. :D )

So that blog is a "selective mirror" of this one.

PS: u just said u left me a message on my orkut account, but that means you searched for my profile, did you? Wow. I mean, I appreciate :P (I haven't done that for anybody except maybe that guy I had a crush on when I was in fourth grade :D Aur woh bhi nahi mila. Kismat hi kharaab hai. :P )

Anonymous said...

You mean you have THE BOARD PRACTICAL tomorrow? Best of luck for that really!

And a newspaper rolled over a hand grenade? That sounds way too American Idiot-ish. Do you listen to Green Day? If you do, you'll know what I mean. If you don't, just go search for "American Idiot" on Google Maata and you'll understand. That's a Green Day album and in its cover picture it shows a hand holding a heart shaped hand grenade. :P

I'm giving on thinking up names for you really, can't think of anything at all. Might as well go with Sher..matlab lion waala sher. :P

Ah, selective mirror. Now I get the deal. I was like wtf is happening..there are two Sanyukta's and both of them are writing the same things. Sounds like a really crazy case of Kumbh ke mele mein bicchde bachche. :P

And yep, I did search for you on Orkut. It's just that I had deleted Orkut earlier..now I made it again so I thought why not add you as a friend? And who knows I might just have a crush on you..y'know. ;)

Haha, okay okay don't freak out I was just kidding. And I'm in no mood to get my arse kicked by your "hot" secret boyfriend. :P

And don't worry about your pehla crush. You're supposed to not get that. It's natural. I've had so many crushes..never got any so don't go around saying kismat hi kharaab hai. Positive soch..soch us crush kismat kharaab hai ki usko tu nahi mili :P

And kismat kharaab hai is too common a phrase ain't it? I've started using "Hawa hi kharaab hai" thanks to a friend of mine. I can't believe how many times I say that. Dad says, "Stocks have gone done again" and I reply "Hawa hi kharaab hai". You get it don't you lol?

Gee, I have THE chemistry board practical on Monday. :-s

Anonymous said...

I meant "soch us crush KI kismat kharaab hai ki usko tu nahi mili" in the last line of the third para.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for the best-of-luck part.
Thanks again for having given up on trynna thinking of a name for me....you just saved yourself from the newspaper-with-whatever-was-supposed-to-be-inside-it. Congrats! :D :P

No...unfortunately I don't have any Kumbh-ke-mele-mein-bichhadi-behen...wonder if really it was so...us two blogging the same stuff...and finally meeting courtesy Ishmeet..who milaaofied us again. :D *hypothetical applause*

Yeah, you better be kidding I guess...the hot-secret-boyfriend has a habit of visiting this blog more often that I do :P

Kismat hi kharaab hai..well, i said this aise hi...it referred to the not-finding-on-orkut part more than the uss-time-nahi-mila part... :D (I better shut up now before the h-s-boif decides to kick me away too :P )

And yeah....ur "positive soch" waala statement is waaaay cool...issay toh frame karke roon mein lagaaoongi...thanks ;)

"Hawa hi kharaab hai"..lol..that's cool too...and all the best for THE chem prac...if the situation gets too desperate..hold a spatula full KCN in ur hand and force the examiner to give you full marks :P...better still...picric acid toh hoga hi na lab mein..brew up some nitroglycerine quick n threaten to blow up the whole lab.. :D

Anonymous said...

I seriously wish you had a bicchdi behan and then I milaaofied you guys and then both of you would give me a kiss on the either side of the cheek like in those Bollywood movies. Main bol raha hoon picture bana daalte hain..saawariya se to zyada hi chalegi. :P

I better shut up too otherwise the h-s-bf will hit me with a newspaper rolled over a danda. Bhaago!

And trust me, I give many such cool gyaani statements. In no time all your walls will be full of framed statements made by yours truly :P

I have my way of getting marks in the Chemistry practical, chinta nahi. I don't think we'll have Picric acid in the lab..I've never seen it. But hey, I'm sure someone will be having a sulphate salt..usme sulphuric acid daalkar examiner ke naak mein ghusa doonga. Uska baap bhi full marks dega fir. :P

tons of congratulations... :)

Tumne pukara aur hummmmmm chale aaye! :D

#Ish

Mujhe pata thaa u will say something like that :D Movie toh bann jaayegi, meri duplicate bichhdi behen kahaan milegi magar?

Whoa, u r bhaagofying from the h-s-bf? :D Wait till he hears that.
Aaaand I finally succeeded in instilling in you a perpetual mortal terror of rolled-up newspapers. Ah, satisfaction. :P

Looking forward to more gyaani statements ;)
goodluck for the prac. But seriously, sulphuric acid se threatening....kuchh standard ki cheez karr yaar...yeh toh bilkull local tareeka hai :P


#dj

tons of thanks... :)

#Sash Di

Welcome to serendipity..aate rehna :)
Proud of you being proud of me ! :D Thanks a lot :)

Tumhe pata tha main kuch aisa hi kahoonga? Mind-reading? Ya allah!

Anyway, movie bhi ban jayegi aur tera double role bhi ho jayega. Technology ka zamaana hai yaar. Jab Om Shanti Om mein Deepika padukone Sunil Dutt ke saath dance kar sakti hai to tera double role kaunsi badi cheez hai. Tu role karne waali baat kar..baaki baad mein dekhenge.

And by the time h-s-bf hears about that..mein desh chod ke bhag jaoonga. Professional bhagoda hoon main. :P

Perpetual fear of newspapers you bet. Aaj kal to subah newspaper deliver karne waale ladke se bhi dar lagne laga hai. Kya pata kab cycle se utar kar meri dhulaai kar de. :P

Kabhi kabhi desi tareeke sahi rehte hain yaar. Laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahi maante..waise hi sulphuric acid waale teacher angrezi tareeko se nahi darte. Ek baar uske face pe sulphuric acid daal diya fir bechara saari zindagi Mr. Lamb ko dhoondta firega (Refer to that Derry and Lamey Lamb waala english chapter). :P

Sherry said...

Yeah, mind reading..I acquired this skill on one of my intergalactic travels a few centuries ago. :P

Chal theek hai, let's do the movie. Producer kaun? Usko bolna sign-up amount de jaaye. :D

Professional bhagoda? Ab tak kitne h-s-boifs se bhaag chuke ho? :P

Haan...I remember that english waala play...chal all the best. do well, baad mein bataa dena if ur tareeka worked...mera chem prac hua nahi hai abhi.
Bio mein toh sab smooth ho gaya...the external examiner was this new almost-unexperienced chica...two of these very good friends of mine were almost about to ask her her marital status...and I was like.."Sheesh, why are you ppl so damn desperate?"
Ah, men. :P

Anonymous said...

Intergalactic trips eh? Raste mein kahaan kahaan ruki thi? Ek to Jadoo da dhaba..doosra McET's. Baaki to tereko hi pata hoga. :P

Producer abhi decide nahi kara yaar. Jiske paas bhi jaao kehta hai pehle picture ka naam soch kar aao fir bataoo. Bata fir, kya naam rakhna hai picture ka? Paise lene ki badi jaldi padi hai, kareena kapoor. :P

Professional bhagoda bole to aur bhi bahut cheezon se bhaag chuka hoon..jaise teachers, parents etc. h-s-bf to pehla hi mila hai tera waala. :P

Chemistry practical ke liye best of luck. Mera waala tareeka to nahi chala..mere kuch karne se pehle hi teacher ne mere upar 25 tarah ke acid phenk diye. Disaster tha par chalta hai. Jo bhi ho, be confident aur agar answer nahi aata to bata dena. Faltoo try karke kuch nahi milta..aise mere sir ne mereko kaha tha.

Why don't we get unexperienced and hot externals in here? Meri waali external to ekdum hunter waali daaku type ki thi. Bahut phaadi, I was feeling like Roadies ka audition de raha hoon aur Raghu ladki ban ke aaya hai. Roadies dekhi hai ya nahi?

And last question ka answer bhi next line mein khud hi de diya. Men are made to be desperate. Ab hamaari kya galti? Bhagwaan ne banaya hi aise hai. And waise bhi hot looking teacher ko do chaar cute remarks maar do to muft mein marks laga deti hai. I did the same thing in economics in tenth, we had this hot looking teacher and mera uspe mast impression hota tha. Hamesha full deti thi economics paper main. Abhi bhi usko mera naam yaad hai, that's my sole achievement in 15 years of school. :P

Sherry said...

#Ishmeet

#Kashika

That post, yeah , thanks..it was kinda straight from the heart...

Keep visiting.

I hope I make some "achievements" with the girls of my age. I can't marry a teacher..no way!

And practicals kaise chal rahe hain? Mera to physics bhi ho gaya. Jam ke cheating kari sabne aur external ne bhi meri shakal dekhkar mereko shareef samajh liya aur jaada sawaal nahi pooche? Tumhare kaise ho rahe hain?

Sherry said...

Prac abhi tak ek hi hua hai..Bio. Chem n Fiz r on 14th and 15th...kya yaar school waale bhi, chaudah farvari ko chemistry ka prac rakha hai...sheesh.

Clark Kent said...

hey...c'mon u know ur exams are nearby...just get set for some real race...just like we have force india for the formula 1 ..u must have a sherry-extreme for ur exams...and in case u don't know force india..girl,it's the formula one team which has direct indian links...kingfisher ke maalik ki hai yaar

Anonymous said...

School walon ko kya pata 14 farvari ki importance. Unke liye no just another day hai. Tu ek kaam karna..saare chemicals use karke ek love potion type cheez bana lena aur fir usko galti se apne favorite ladke pe gira dena. Chemistry ki chemistry aur 14 farvari ka 14 farvari. Dhyaan rakhio kahin external examiner ke paas na pahunch jaye..I don't think you'll fancy some 40-50 year old man/woman running behind you like a lovesick puppy. :P

Best of luck for 14th and 15th. Atyachaar kar rahe hain school waale tum par yaar..ek din ki chutti bhi nahi di dono practicals ke beech.

Sherry said...

#Abhimanyu

yeah, real race...bahut saare rivals ko thhikaane lagana hai...
Of course I know ForceIndia yaar..what do ya guys think about me...ek poochhta hai Roadies dekha hai? [comment#19] :P ek poochhta hai ForceIndia pata hai..? Come on guys, I don't live in the stone age! :D

#Ish

Great idea re...love potion, hmm..sahi rahega. Par ussi time bana ke galti se jaanboojh ke mere favorite ladke pe giraana would be taking too much

chance...pehle banaa ke tere pe Beta Testing karoon kya...? :D :P Okay, darr mat...just kidding.
Aur woh external examiner waale idea par triple sheesh.

Clark Kent said...

arre i know u r nt livin' in the stone age..bt u see formula one n stuff itna common nahi hai yaar...uss par ForceIndia...but still..good yaar tumhe itna gyaan hai...yaar naya post kab aa raha hai...ur blog is like a centre point fr me...saare naye blog yahin se surf karta hoon...still if u r busy in boards then i cn wait...but u gotta get that medals in boards too yaar

Anonymous said...

Mere par love potion try kar lena, I don't mind. Par antidote pehle banakar rakhna nahi to main saari zindagi tumhare peeche lovesick puppy ki tarah bhaagta rahunga. Usse mereko koi problem nahi par tumhaara h-s-bf meri muft mein meri hawa tight kar dega. :P

Sherry said...

#Abhimanyu

Thanks...New post already there. :)

#Ish

Oye iss baare mein toh maine socha hi nahi thaa! :O :D Kaafi cautious bhi ho tum!:P

congrats on your medals! i love english (my favorite school subject). thanks for commenting on my blog :)

Cautious hona padta hai yaar. Pehle bhi bataaya tha ki heel waali ladkiyon se dar lagta hai. To socho unke heel waale boyfriends se kitna dar lagta hoga. :P

Sherry said...

#Joey

Thanks :)

#Ish

Baat toh sahi hai...why did u delete ur orkut account by d way...?

Anonymous said...

Dad saw it yaar, mereko laga tum mein se kisi ke blog se mere blog pe pahunch gaye to mera ho gaya. That's why I deleted it. Firse banaunga kabhi, ab to tumko dhundne mein mushkil bhi nahi hogi..lambe heels waali ladki. :P
