Masters in Mayhem!!

Alright, folks, gather 'round for the tale of the world's clumsiest human – yours truly! I swear, if there's a way to turn a normal situation into a comedy of errors, I'll find it. It's like I have a PhD in Disaster and a Master's in Mayhem.

Picture this: There I was, at a fancy-shmancy restaurant, feeling all posh and sophisticated. I'd just demolished a fabulous biryani and was packing up the leftovers like a responsible adult. Little did I know, I was about to star in my own spicy drama.

As I'm tying up the takeaway bag, BAM! Suddenly, my right eye is on fire! I'm standing there, frozen like a statue, wondering if I've been hit by some sort of curry-flavoured lightning. Turns out, I'd somehow managed to flick "mirch ka saalan/ मिर्च mirch का का सालन " right into my eyeball! Who does that? Me, apparently.

After what felt like an eternity of eye-rinsing and squinting, I couldn't help but think, "If there's a blunder to be had, I'm your gal!" It's like I have a sixth sense for finding the most ridiculous ways to embarrass myself.

Speaking of embarrassment, let me take you back to my high school days. There I was, a budding scientist, absolutely mesmerised by the colourful flames in our chemistry lab. Different metals, different colours – it was like a disco for nerds! I was so engrossed that I didn't even notice the impromptu bonfire happening on my own head!

That's right, folks – my hair caught fire! There I was, sporting a lovely lilac flame from the Bunsen burner and a not-so-lovely golden hue from my flaming locks. My lab partner, bless her heart, put out the fire and sat me down for a glass of water. Talk about a hair-raising experience!

But wait, there's more! Fast forward to my medical school days. Picture me, a budding doctor, strolling confidently towards the bus stop. Suddenly, everyone around me seemed to grow taller. Was I shrinking? Nope, just falling into a ditch!

There I was, sprawled in a thankfully dry ditch, surrounded by onlookers who were too busy laughing to lend a hand. It took a kind-hearted bus conductor to fish me out of the ditch. Needless to say, I changed my bus schedule faster than you can say "watch your step!"

Even now, in the safety of my own home, I'm a walking disaster. Coffee tables jump out at me, doors conspire to bump into me – it's like I'm living in a slapstick comedy!

But you know what? Life's too short not to laugh at yourself. So here I am, collecting bruises and embarrassing moments like they're going out of style. After all, what's life without a few (okay, a lot of) hilariously clumsy moments?

The first.....

Ah, that first kiss... The surge of electricity that dances through your veins is like a lightning bolt from Cupid himself, leaving you breathless and dizzy with anticipation. But alas, after that initial spark, reality sets in like a cruel hangover after a night of too much wine. The subsequent glasses of life are like a relentless assault on our poor livers, leaving us longing for the intoxicating euphoria of that first sip. Oh, to have every day be as blissful as that first glass of chardonnay, where worries dissolve and joy bubbles up like the effervescence in a fine champagne! And what about those first drops of monsoon? The air thick with the promise of renewal, the earth eagerly awaiting its quenching embrace. But alas, it's fleeting, like trying to hold onto water in your hands. The magic of those initial raindrops fades as quickly as it arrives, leaving us yearning for that fleeting moment of pure olfactory ecstasy. And then there's that unforgettable first walk hand

Furry Fun

So, picture this: we were all geared up for a rockin' Saturday night out, ready to chow down on some grub and catch up with Akshaj, who we hadn't seen in ages. But oh boy, did fate have a twisted sense of humour. Akshaj's train got stuck at Brookmans Park station because of some random incident. No biggie, we thought, we'll just meet him at Hatfield instead. But then, the train decided to play a game of "let's see how long we can keep everyone waiting" for an extra 30 minutes! We were like, "Enough is enough!" and hatched a plan to rescue Akshaj from Brookmans Park. But as soon as he stepped off the train, it suddenly zoomed off without him! Talk about bad timing! We rushed to the station, only to find the road blocked by the police. Seriously, could this night get any crazier? But thanks to Gargi's common sense , she managed to break through the barricade and track down Akshaj at a nearby pub, where his phone decided to call it quits. Afte

The gooey green ....

I've only been back a week, and I'm already on a first-name basis with Beechams( cough cold syrup/ potion). The local air is like a ninja, sneaking up on unsuspecting noses. Maybe it's the cleaner air's way of saying, "Welcome back! Let me gift you a cold." This cold has me reminiscing about my glorious KEM days, where battling bacterial sinusitis was as routine as morning coffee. Ah, the good ol' antral puncture under local anesthesia – a delightful procedure where we'd tap into the 'cheek' sinuses like seasoned plumbers fixing a leak. Picture the satisfaction as gooey, green stuff flowed out, a sight more gratifying than a waterfall. It was a dance of relief between patient and doctor. Today, suggesting such a procedure would raise eyebrows – barbaric, they'd say! But is it really, or have we just upgraded from medieval decongestants to antibiotic superheroes? In this saga of battling colds and contemplating sinus rituals, one thing rem
