The beauuuuuty of laziness and carelessness:-)

Well....what can I say....as soon as anyone who knows me looks at the title of this post...they will go...ooooooooh...thats so like Preethi....cant think of who could be a better embodiment of laziness or carelessness than her. I remember when I was in college and part of the insititute band....I was a percussionist (i WILL never know how they trusted me to be in the band...gods grace indeed)...and we were having parctice sessions night and day....welll here's the thing....make a lazy girl do all the hard work and she is gonna flip out and be careless...what else did they expect??? I was sleepy and I think there was a call for refreshments....I rushed without giving a second thought to the precarious position in which my drums were...they were at a 60 degree angle from the slopy ground and slid smoothly from the stand and bounced and bounced and bounced their way to their god given destination....my band teacher's feet!!!

Lemme take u back a bit and give u an intro to KB Maam - she was god's way of keeping me in check....if there was a breeze of seriosuness in me during my ATP stay...it was coz of her....she knew exactly the things to say which would remind us that there was a world beyond ATP and that I would be a complete failure in it....well not exactly a boost to my ego but there it was:-)

Now back to the story...while the drum was on its fated journey to her feet, her eyes blossommed and bloomed till I knew that my future was at stake....and then...she uttered those fateful words which stuck like a brand to me for the rest of my life..."PREETHI....CARELESSNESS IS YOUR BRAND....u just cant seem to help it".

Well u get the picture of how the rest of the evening went....

Why did I narrate this to you?...well....u see...this is only a tiny speck of my various conquests on the phenomenon of "carelessness"....and the fact that I have lost around 3 mobiles in increasingly novel methods will bear a testament to my conquest.....I even feel a pang of jealousy when someone else is branded careless in my presence.....hey dont u dare insult me....coz on a scale of 10 in carelessness.. welll Iam beyond count so u cant limit my abilities to a mere numeric scale:-)

Now for the laziness....u know I have seen different kinds of laziness....but my father puts things into perspective when he calls me the "put it into my pocket" girl!! To tell you the story of this infamous label...lemme take u back to the time when the poeple on this planet held competitions to identify a person who would be the benchmark for laziness:-)...after a lot of screening and filtering...3 of them were decided as the finalists...they decided to hold a felicitation ceremony for the winners and called them over....the third prize winner went up to the stage and recieved his medal and returned to his blissfull slumber....the second place winner took his prize and dozed off on stage....but the first place winner.....who was in deep hibernation....opened his eyes for a second when his name was announced and wehn called on to the stage to recieve his award....in semi slumber state murmured..."put it into my pocket"......and went back to sleep:-)

So u get the picture...its just that sleep comes more naturally to me than say.....work:-)

All my friends will surely remember what happened in all my classes in college where the lecturer even dropped a millimetre in their standards of arousing my interest to stay awake in class.....my dear fellow lazibums.....herez a message for you ....and its just between us..."Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy." and Iam sure that says a lot into what my ideals in life are:-)......well....dear darling dreams...here I come!
