Laxmi 1 Swarthi Manushya

We were all at Laxmi on the auspicious occasion of Anant Chaturdashi (All Messes were closed) and Shakti suddenly goes:
Ham jo kuch bhi karte hai, woh khud ke liye karte hai. Ham agar padhte hai, woh khud ke liye hai. Ham khaana khaate hai, toh khud ke liye. Ham agar kisika bhala karte hai, toh woh bhi sirf isiliye ki hamein punya milein, woh bhi khud ke liye. Which implies ki ham sab swaarthi hai. which impliies swarth achchi cheez hai.

We tried to argue with him; he asked us to define "achchi cheez", we gave up.

Every time we discuss grades, Shakti gets nostalgic. We were sitting in Metro lab, and we had an hour and a half left before 5, when we can leave without having to hide our heads. For some reason, we started discussing aboutlab report submission and now I quote Shakti the great:

Hum school main kabhi reports seriously submit nahi karte the. Teachers mujhe sincere samajhte the toh main kabhi meri file complete karta hi nahi tha.

and out of nowhere, he goes on to:-

Main Sr. Kg main fail hua tha. Main Gaav main padhta tha aur unhone mujhe nursery se direct promote kiya tha. Mujhe Sr. KG main kuch nahi chamakta tha. Phir main yahaan pe aaya aur theek perform kiya. But main 6th main Science main fail hua tha. Lekin maine 10th main machaaya tha. Jume Shakespeare tha aur hum passages banaa banaa ke likhte the. Bahut majaa aata tha...

gaav ke daaku

Mere gaav main daaku rehte hai. Woh daaku bahut peace hote hai. Ek baar kya hua, daaku aae and Dad ki bike chori karke le gaye. 3 saal bad they brought the bike back and gave it to my dad. They are so considerate that they call before coming. woh itne sabhya hai ki kisi bandi ko nazar utha ke bhi nahi dekhte...

Neutralization

As we all know, digestion begins from the mouth, and saliva is alkaline. There are acids in the stomach. We must not eat anything acidic/sour along with our meals. The saliva neutralizes it and hence, this leaves less saliva for "the actual food". You might have noticed that saliva gets thick at the back of your tongue once you have drunk nimbupaani :) :|

The reason behind the papads

What we are meant to digest, we digest easily. And a simple test of checking that: soak the thing in water. If it disintegrates and dissolves, it is digestible. Papad, even if you soak for 20 days does not disintegrate. Implies papad is baad for health

Papad Mania

Papad nahi khaana chahiye. Pachta nahi hai.
Roasted chodo, tala hua toh bilkul nahi khana chahiye...
kachcha papad accha hota hai. khana hai toh kachcha khao...

Nishachar

This is something which happened a while ago.
We as in Lokhande and I were discussing some arbit stuff with Shakti, when I suddenly said that a certain person is "Nishachar" (निशाचर) (meaning : according to me, someone who wakes at night actually, an owl.). But then, Shakti suddenly blurted out: वैसे तोह हम सब निशाचर हैं । निशाचर वह होता है जो रात को खाता है। (some one who eats at night). Then, after taking his case, he justified his claim:
Nisha ko charne wala nishachar hota hai!!! Jo raat ko charta hai woh nishachar!! Vaise hum sab Nishachar hai; Nishachar ek shaitaan hota hai. We are not supposed to eat at night!!
