PDS Club
i came across this term, PDS, in fifth standard... or probably a year later. It stood fr Public Distribution System. it symbolised those people who cud not buy from the open market. differentiating them from the other people........i hv come across a new description fr this term in last one month. it symbolises the people at A. not the professors......but the tuchhas and the fachhas here, though the context fr both of them is totally different..... both r supposed to be honorary members of PDS club. PDS stands for- People Deprived of Sleep......people whose average quota of sleep is much lesser as compared to the normal people...... differentiating us frm other conventional, sane janta...
the tuchhas spend their time in the night watching movies...... though there r sum who keep slogging sincerely fr completing various projects and assignments . the number of this breed of tuchhas is quite scarce .... similar to the number of fachhas u wud find relaxing and watching movies.
did i hear sumone saying that night is meant fr sleep.... or it is the time to relax ur aching body... to rest ur brains ( depending whether u hv one...) ....or sum crap like 8 hours of gud sleep is a must for a healthy body and a healthy mind...... in fact i used to believe in similar fundas before coming here... but my perceptions hv really chanaged in last one month or so.
the quantity of sleep hv reduced drastically in last one month. though the quality of sleep hv certainly improved. i hv learnt the art completing the sleep in short spells here. the coaches say tht fast bowlers are most effective when they r used in short spells. same seems to be attitude towards sleep here. u get a break of 20 minutes n guess how u decide to spend this time... not chatting with frnds, no yahoo,msn msngrs, no sms-ing, but to catch a small burst of the precious entity called sleep. people usually sleep fr arnd 6-7 hrs a day here, but the 6 hrs is a cumulative figure. it includes 3-4 hours of sleep in the night, 1-2 hrs after coming frm college and the remaining time fr sleep is covered during the classes. though the system is so designed tht u cannot and should not sleep in the class, but 'honi ko kaun taal sakta hai' n 'sone waale ko kaun rok sakta hai'.
meanwhile went to watch 'sarkar' last weekend. my first movie at A to be completed in a single stretch. had sum free time last weekend n decided to go out of the campus. n the movie was gud....a typical ram gopal verma movie... with a fast storyline,minimum focus on song n dance sequences.... of course a theme abt the underworld .... a RGV movie these days cant be complete without sum kind of underworld stories. but wht i liked abt the movie was abt the way junior Bacchan has really shaped up. he oozed confidence, which he lacked in his earlier movies...... dialog delivery was impeccable...... n he was able to hog his share of limelight despite the presence of senior Bacchan...... the girls nearly swooned over him... the dark looks.... the unshaven half beard.... n i cud hear the girls screaming over top of their voices in the hall. i hv a friend in delhi who is ever ready to give a party whenever AB's movie garner decent collections..... till now she did not hv much chance to throw one...:) . but seeing the last few of AB movies in recent times -dhoom,bunt n bubbly,yuva ..... and a number of release lined up, i feel i wud hv a big number of parties to catch up when i go back to delhi.

hi!

@ sona : Well 6 hrs a day is not bad fr sleeping. The only thing which troubles me, which i mentioned, is tht i get this time in bits n pieces, which sumtimes can get very frustrating...... but now i hv adjusted to it n i m really enjoying another phase of life
@neha : yeah i m frm nsit. a comp engg passout frm 2004.
Hi amit,
nice narration, again unlike ram gopal verma's, straight on nose attack.
experience always comes from piece-meal approach. so, whether u sleep for an hour or 8 hours, it is only sense of sleeping gives u satisfaction not the sleep. so, don;t get disappointed, before u start enjoying the terms with sleep.
Has the exams started? kaisa chal raha hai yaar, my friends at A say it is a frust place atleast the first year.U must have met some kgp guys out thr....rahul, the fat arijit, partha,sagnik,ritoban......how r they, do u have any idea?
Nice post man. I fully agree with u...Abhishek Bachan is rocking nowadays.
First time here. Good one. I am still in coll and i think you have inspired me to join the PDS. That way probably you can get more work done.. with extra fun.
hey....how could u forget bunty aur babli????????Crime ho gaya !!
@ravikant : yeah tht hv become the philosphy of life. i manage to keep myself happy by thinking tht at least i hv slept rather than thinking how many hours i hv slept. btw how is TI going on ?
@ dep : exams will start frm next week. n yes i hv met a number of kgp guys out here. they r doin well
@ devil : yaar mujhe inspiraion banana hai to kisi achhi cheez ke liye banao, not for joining PDS...:). but HEL(L) is certainly a tough place...:).
@ guesswho? : u r probably the girl i talked abt in this post..... at least ur retort abt bunty n babbli makes me feel so....:)> so u finally got a chance to give a party fr AB baby. i can just hope tht u wud be forced to give more of these kind of parties
hi bhai,
u cud hv elaborated a bit more on ur schedule.u just concentrated on ur sleep.
somethg more..!!!
Hey Amit
