  VERY SORRY Shalom.  I am extremely sorry for not blogging for the past 3 weeks. To use cliches, this was due to-  a) I had no urlLink time .
 b) My urlLink computer was experiencing some never heard of errors which rendered it impossible for me to do anything with it.  ( Exun members note- The IP address mysteriously vanished from urlLink Network Connections and repeated attempts to enter a new one completely failed. End result-
I had to change form Sify to Hathaway)  Since summer urlLink holidays are here( finally) I will now find enough urlLink time to blog properly.  But first, something which is eagerly awaited(
sarcastic laughter) an account of the past days.  April 28, 29 Days where I took some much needed urlLink time off from urlLink school to prepare for the SAT. How I wasted them is another story.  April 30 Day where to my surprise and amazement,
we finally got to go to a GSP. The bad urlLink news was that we missed the funnest periods, Chem practicals with Da Owl. Also had an appointment with Mamta " Teapot"  Sharma,
who flatly refused to " counsel"  me unless I paid up Rs. 200. Another instance of the school's highly devious money- making ways.
 May 1 Day I turned sweet sixteen, the busiest birthday of my life.  Here's a look at my day-  7. 30 a. m-
 Started from my Noida urlLink home for the SAT urlLink test venue, USEFI.  9. 00- 12. 30a.
m-  SAT exam. Went of very well, unlike most others. Left me expecting a perfect score.  1.
20 p. m-  Reached Fiitjee headquarters in Sarvpriya Vihar.  1. 30- 5.
30 pm-  Managed to endure 4 hours of classes.  May 2 Highly exhausted after another 8 hours of Fiitjee, I went into a deep sleep between 6. OO p. m in the evening to 8.
00 a. m in the morning.  May 3, 4 School urlLink holidays . Completed mounds of past schoolwork, studied for Monday urlLink Test and to my disbelief,
managed to solve a lot of Fiitjee questions.  May 5 Day of the third phase of elections, with most exit polls suggesting a hung Parliament.  After Monday urlLink Test , went to meet Siddhartha Basu to pesent him with a copy of the quizbook manuscript and bully him into urlLink writing a preface.  Accompanied by one of the zillion Headmistresses of Da Factory,
Deepa Raghavan, who incidently hails from the land of Laloo. She and Abhinav got along famously, discovering a lot of mutual urlLink friends and relatives. We landed up at his urlLink office in East Of Kailash, one of the worst residential places on this planet,
only to discover that he was busy in a busyness meeting( misspelling intentional) Spent some urlLink time chatting with his wife,  Anita Kaul Basu, who happens to be my mother's collegemate from her Miranda urlLink House days.  Anyway ,
he did manage to emerge from his meeting and was quite impressed with the quizbook. He showed us his quizzing urlLink software , which he wanted to sell to urlLink schools . Quite cool. What was cooler was that his team made questions in the same way as I had done, facing the same urlLink time to urlLink time problems that I faced with their lingo and structure.
So now there is another alternate urlLink career just tailormade for me, in case I ever want to take it up.  Ran into another friend of my mother's, Rupin Dang, her classmate at Airforce urlLink school and son of the Principal. Also into our quizmasters of the CBSE quiz-
Aditya Mubai( a cousin of my favourite teacher from Somerville , Anita Raina)  and Kunal Savarkar.  This is indeed a small world.  May 6 Day Da Penguin became berserk,
asking us to write both a matrimonial and obituary for her. Was she thinking about dowry deaths?  May 7 Another day of berserk teachers. At the stroke of Twelve, Da Sardar first gave us a horrible mnemonic- BB ROY Of Great Britain has Very Good Wife,
then tells us that it is not right , as he has yet to meet a wife that is good.  He then finished a 2- litre urlLink water bottle, and then had the temerity to say-  "
Beta, itni choti bottles se mere jaise sardar ka kuch nahin hone wala"  He also managed to convert his urlLink single 35 minute period with us into hold your breaths, 115 minutes of 3 consecutive periods.  This was also where we discovered some new names for Odoyo Ki Maa. While some of them were Black urlLink Beauty ,
O/ O form and The urlLink Horse Whisperer, the one which we found most apt was,  of course,  PATALMATA . This is due to her completely unique combination of orange urlLink hair on black body.
Accompanied with her hanging biceps from Babylon, she presents a frightening picture , reminding one of the rakshasinis of mythology.  Savadhaaan! Patalmata padhaar rahin hainnnnn!  Also overheard -
Sumanlata discussing her urlLink holiday plans for Goa with Vandana Marwah.  We already know that she is a national level urlLink basketball player, just visualise her playing beach volleyball.  May 8, 9 Another Fiitjee weekend. Need I say more?
 May 10 Fourth and final phase of polling. Most exit polls predicting that NDA was inching towards halfway mark.
