Well as someone has quoted [that someone being me] life is full of exams... at least first 20 yrs are... over these yrs I have studied with many mug partners [here mug refers to studies] & now to come to think of it, I guess I have just found the ideal mug partners... Here is a look at the mug partners with whom I was indulged in the rituals of so called mugging...
Till 10th : Now when I get lost into school days memories I really don't find any partner as such.
JEE days : Yeah...being the best time period of my life it has seen one of the best gumbles i have ever got... But I never actually made them my mug partners... Unless one include those few days in which we used to come together as a bunch of 7-8 guys & finally end up playing cricket or cards or carom instead of the mugging...
IIT Life : It never came to my mind that I should have some mug partner to mug with... but I started getting them right from the start & I always loved to have some company... Now till my 6th sem I have experienced many downs & some ups recently in my CGPA... Of course the connection of these ups & downs is linked with the mug partners [The superstitious part]... Lets go through all the mug partners related to downs -
Shimla - Believe it or not, but shimla used to be my mug partner in our first year... The actual reason was because his room mate fokus always used to sleep at 11 & I never went to bed before 4am in my 1st year... This resulted in a down but the feelings were always compensated by the 6 points of shimla...
Mayank - Mayank aka Sukha Santra used to give company sometimes but most of the time with him was spent in his smses & the discussions about girls... So it never actually clicked on the grades front...
Pattrow - Pattrow was always my lifeline throughout the 1st year as well as the second year...Though the latter year only included Basic Electrical Engg. & Maths... but I always used to go to him for last day formulas & tips, last yr papers ...The 3rd sem separated us in 2 wings.. But even then I used to run to him on the last day... This was actually because for both these exams I mugged only on the last days... This also included a brief session of 4 hrs with Sumedh [2 hrs of sleep + 1 n half hr chat with the one + 1/2 hr of cracking some assignment probs]...
Consequences of this mug method were obvious... In both subjects dancing of the 'U' grade in front of my eyes throughout the exam was particularly horrible... The C [Thanks to Rajat who had sat on the bench in front of me & the supervisor] in Maths & the worst E [Thanks to Rajat who was not on the bench in front of me & the *^**&* supervisor] in BEE ensured that I discard Mech guys of out hostel from the mug partners list...
Vineet - Chittad was the one with whom I mugged slides of ID120... The slides of that horribly boring subject ensured that both of us get C which prompted me to think that its not the best combination...
Now even if these guys now have the dubious distinction of being mug partners in my downs I always loved the time spent irrespective of the results barring the E in BEE...

me, Mrinalee n the Cafe Coffee Day that was....
Based on real story....
Authored & experienced by Samsum.
Special thanks to Mrinalee [name has been changed to avoid further queries & rumors] whose presence made those hours too special & funny.
& also thanks [full of hatred] to those waiters who gave me a topic to start blogging.
Scene I -
Venue - CCD , Pachpakhadi , Thane[w]
Date - 18th Dec 2006 5:00PM
I was sitting with Mrinalee on the table having nice conversation. A waiter turned up after 5 mins to take the order. To be courteous i let mrinalee order first. But then it was me one on one with the waiter. I asked him to bring a Capucchino... Such a simple thing to do!!! but the waiter started asking me strange things ,"do u want some cream added to ur cup?".Maybe because of the presence of Mrinalee, but i bulbed...forgot English..'Should I say 'no,thank you' or 'no,sorry'...the worst second of silence n strange expression passed & I mumbled 'Yeah ok'. Luckily or unluckily i didnt see mrinalee's expressions.But waiter continued & asked "do u want chocolate added to it?". Again I nodded & said 'yeah alrite'. To my horror, those additions doubled capucchino cost from 40 to 80rs. with taxes & my bulb costed me 50 more rupees.The best part being Mrinalee telling me that i should have said no to all these things.I had my first experience...

Here I was again, sitting with Mrinalee & having conversation, on better than ever terms with Mrinalee & i saw no chances of bulbing.But the waiter had some other intentions.He came to our table,gave a huge smile to me & said "i have searved u before sir"."mayb" .me & mrinalee exchanged mischievous looks. He took the order without asking for cream n chocolate & went.It was a sign of the danger forthcoming.When we asked for bill, he came & gave us 2 separate bills,one for each drink.The limits were crossed because he had written on my bill 'we had a great time serving you.Have a good night' with a huge smiley & nothing on her bill.He was smiling at me from counter.That waiter was clearly gay.I was shocked & so was mrinalee.She tried to comfort me by telling me that he was smiling at her too.But the fact remained the fact, that the guy was gay.Why me always & why this happens in presence of mrinalee????? With this big question in my mind i left the scene...
