A Potato Tale .....

Well, girl Potato and boy Potato had eyes for each other, and finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato,which they called Yam.

Of course, they wanted the best for yam.When it was time, they told her about the facts of life. They warned her about going out and getting half-baked,so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad name for herself like Hot Potato end up with a bunch of Tater Tots.Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a rotten potato out of her!But on the other hand she wouldn't stay home and become a Couch potato either.

She would get plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring cousins.When she went off to Europe, Mr and Mrs Potato told Yam to watch out for the hardboiled guys from Ireland and the greasy guys from France called the French Fries. And when she went out west, to watch out for the Red Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped.

Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow and wouldn't associate with those high class Yukon Golds,or the ones from the other side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say, Frito Lay.

Mr and Mrs Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U. (that's Potato University) so that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips. But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home and announced she was going to marry Kartoffel/Tartufoli.
" Kartoffel/Tartufoli.", Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset.

They told Yam she couldn't possibly marry Kartoffel/Tartufoli , because he's just.......
A COMMON TATER .... :D

"Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears"

Finally back to business .... lemme give u some gyan and a few of my real life experiences, which i might forget, on PATIENCE ....

this post is specially dedicated to a friend of mine who was the whip that forced me , in getting me back to put up my crappy ideas and thoughts and of course my priceless experiences back online .......

So coming back to the point now....where was i ?? patience .... yea ...
i never knew what patience was ...i asked my friends and others what it was .... they all had something different to say ....



"patience :- when time pisses off your basic necessity "

One of those days , in my hostel ... the days which was called "the period of the booze , smoke and grass" ... something like the Jurassic , Triassic period... but very much different but yet very much same .... i heard laughs and yells, i heard someone say " i am jumping off the 10th floor, n here i go .... aaaaaa .... " .
i knew something was wrong .... wrong not that the guy will jump off or anything ... it was wrong that the hostel had only 4 floors .

i went to the top floor and entered "the" room, saying " guys its not even midnight, and not even time ...". all i could see was booze and smoke .... man were they drunk as hell !!

This guy here started off " yaar , this time and PATIENCE things really piss me off .... "
i said ," dude take a break ....."
he said " yea ok ... i think ... Nature is calling me .. move ... i gota go .... "

then i sat around for an hour or so ... abusing our beloved profs with em ..... and n as i walked out i saw the same guy standing outside the wash room confused .... he had the same look on his face
as if someone had asked to find a circle's corner.

i asked him " kya hua dosth??'
he said " yaar pata nahi yehan kyon aaya thaa?? "

apparently the booze made him forget that "NATURE was calling him ... " .




"patience: something very important in exam , but often disregarded "

This is something that happened in one of my pre-boards .... it was chem exam
, the only exam where we hate the invigilator more than the paper itself, and to the limit that day unfortunately it was our very own chem teaching female who was invigilating. So , coming to the incident , there was this kinda freak numerical prob, i accidentally happened to crack it and the guy sitting behind me , kulla ,
said "oye ! numerical answer kar liya naa ? "
i said "haan ho gaya .."
then he said "abe toh bolna padega kya ? dikha toh sahi .... "

i was in a exceptionally helping mood unlike i usually am ... and started explaining all the crap PATIENTLY it took almost 5 mins to finish explaining , i tell u whispering for 5 long minutes is not a easy deal !! ,

then i said " samajh gaya naa ... nahi toh bol phir se bol doonga ... "
he said " yaar woh 3rd step phir se bata .."

it took me 2 more minutes to tell him the damn thing ... and even after that my heart poured out with generosity and i started dictating the whole answer line by line , dot to dot .... and he said "haan" after every syllable i spoke ......

and chem teacher had no clue that we've been having a chat for the last 10 or 15 mins ...
all along i was looking forward and god!! i was under a very wrong impression ...

when the exam had come almost to a "sudden death" situation kulla spoke ...
" oye nit .... woh numerical waala sheet paas kar de ,...."

i said "kya baat kar raha hai !!!!!!!... poora dictate kar toh diya thaa ... tu haan bhi toh kaha thaa...??????? "

he said " yaar start nahi kar paaya ..."

man i tell u .. i have never been so so so much annoyed ....



and i have heard occasionally patience does pay off well ..... but for me ......
