O.G. Dictionary

Hey people..!!! Here i am with my first blog on OAK GROVE-the best place i have ever been to,the place i spent the best eight years of my life.......

"The O.G. Dictionary"
Waise to use of slangs is pretty common these dayz , but ours was a bit different.......

Chick : This was the name given to us when we graduated from junior school

and
stepped into senior boys' school . You just need to shout " oye chick" and will find around 10 guys coming up to you shouting back
"yes sir"..!!!!

Get down: The most usual command to become a murga.


P.D. : Public Dhunning-the event of whole class beating a particular guy.

C.K. : Care Keeping- the job, usually of a class eighth guy, to see whether
any teacher is around or not, while the seniors had the luxury of
massage,watched movies,and ragged us.

Sneak : Leak information/ complain to teachers

Fagging : Usually this has reference to smoking,but as i told you, ours was a bit different.The seniors used to bat and bowl, and we were always
fielding.This could mean that just two of the seniors could play the
whole day and we ended up "fagging".

Jhits : Acronym for Jharipani-the location of our school.

Jhits fall : Another beautiful place, a wonderful waterfall-unexplored, unexploited

we used to bunk off to, on holidays.Perhaps a tourist hot spot now.

Moos : Acronym for Mussoorie.

G.P. : "Ganji Pahadi" - Another beautiful place to bunk.The ambience was so
serene,soothing. You will just love the place.As far as i remember,
it got its name from a vast stretch of land, kind of hillock, with
beautiful grass and no shrubs.

Daem : Damsels-really extinct species..!!!!

Check : Throw

Dhobs : Our dhobi- the washerman.

Zhakh : Last

I think there are many more.........oakgrovians , plz help..!!!

"SHE"

Waiting outside the metro station, i went down the memory lane when we sat at our common hangout-"R.R.CORNER" looking at the other "lucky" people having a shoulder to rest their heads on.My life seemed to be an utter waste, entangled between the strands of responsibilities and commitments,with no room to explore the hidden sea of my emotions.I was nowadays becoming sure of the path my life was going to take, which i never wanted it to.But sometimes you have to come to terms with reality rather than live in an illusion.And perhaps it was a fictious life i was living in........................
The gentle tap on my shoulder woke me up from my dreams and i found her in my arms....!!!!!!!(Perhaps this was reality).It was a wait of 8 minutes for me ,8 years for her(Goddamn it..!!!! 8 long years!!!).How can she love me so much?How can you love someone for so long?My mind started betraying me ......I had to do something for her.If nothing much , then atleast i could make her smile, make the day beautiful for her.And i set out for that.

I don't remember the rest of the evening.We went around places , just like 'adam and eve' in the Eden Garden.I guess the touch of her hands made me forget everything.It was the first time i had that strange feeling of being wanted.She was smiling for the rest of the evening.I was not a complete waste.Maybe i could bring about some happiness in someone's life......and perhaps that gave me a reason to live..............................
