spOrTs & taLk iN scHoOL

my biggest problem during my teenage yrs was that i cudnt stand silly girls. seeing how I did my high schooling in an all girls school, its kinda hard to get away from the silly girls...
trust me. i tried. they get u no matter where u hide. [ even behind the tree in the corner of the school backyard. ]

as i'm turning nostalgic i remember my school days. the endless giggling. the groups that wudnt let me join coz i was a dubai kid. the many friends i made. unfortunately to keep those friends i had to participate in their most popular sport.

clothes watching.

apparently this is a highly developed sport in mlore, where high school had uniforms and college had [ brace urself ] 'color dress'. the more advanced players cud Actually identify the tailor who had stitched that dress!!
so every afternoon lunch break, we'd sit by the road and look at all the clothes the college girls wore, and discuss it. and debate it. and dream of what kind of dresses we wanted. and who was in and who was sooo last yr.
i had to say i was a complete social disaster

"hey did u see that black dress she wore"
"which one? and who wore it?"
"Girl X, u know last yrs rose queen"
"who's that?"
"good lord. she just passed us. didn't you SEE" [ friend getting agitated coz i didn't notice her excellency ]
"ummm.... no actually. but now i'm curious. where is she? i want to see her." < craning my neck, trying to catch a glimpse >
"sheeesh she was right here... wat the heck were u doing??"
"thinking"
"hmmmpppffff, your ALWAYS doing that. don't u get bored" [ yup, thats what she said ]
and then we'd talk about < surprise! > boys. and some more about boys.
eeeeeeeesh.
it was pretty boring.

it was either that or stay with the girl who spoke incessantly about her diamonds [ her parents owned THE diamond and gold store in mlore ]. she gave me such intricate details about her diamond collection... thats actually, when i learnt to block ppl out. and though my eyes were glazed, atleast i wudnt be drooling!!
that training stood me in good stead all these yrs. thnx H!!
i also managed to retain a few important diamond care tidbits. fyi, its bad to keep diamonds in the freezer. i have NO freaking clue wat the actual conversation was about or the context. but after 2 yrs, thats about all that i remember.

and ppl wonder why i left agnes as if my tail was on fire!!
