It feels great, still going to Agarwal. In fact its much more fun, now that I've loosened up and I speak alot in class. Mainly to Agarwal. The classes are amazing fun, everyone is always laughing, because we're always making fun of Agarwal and having fun at his expense.
We keep repeating his lines, and we often say them even before he does. His lines are really funny, but now that we're used to them, they've became really hackneyed. But its fun, nonetheless.
And our batch is also rather good. Almost Everyone is spirited, with their focus right: To have fun and enjoy.
The breaks that Agarwal gives during his class are amazing. We go to the CCD right in front of Agarwal and extend the break to 45 minutes, instead of the normal 15 minute break.
Its just amazing.
And for the first time ever, Agarwal doesn't even check our work. The effect: I do nothing in class or at home, I dont even keep my register open, dont even hold a pen in my hand. And he says nothing.
The best part about the class is talking to the people who come there, before the class, during the class, during the breaks, and after class. Its unbelievable fun, just because the people there are simply amazing, smashing.

An eventful end to a largely uneventful year.
Today was the 24th of December, the day before Christmas, and the last day in tenth for us puerile tenthies. Classroom teaching in Class X has come to an end, and now it's time, in the words of our illustrious principal Dr. Chona, to burn the midnight "lamp". And, also in the words of our illustrious principal, "the least but not the last", the pre-boards are "around the corner" (also in our illustrious principal's words)
Today was great. The whole school and buses were full of just tenthies. Wherever you looked, there were tenthies. The school looked completelt empty. It was great. There was, obviously, no "classroom teaching", merely classroom bbunking. Things went well, and everything was uneventful, until the last two periods.
That's when the fun started. First of all, KSTG (Kaumudi Sharma the Great) got to see photos of Aakanksha through Keerti. And then started a "katta" session. KSTG murdered Suri and made more fun of him than was deemed necessary by the "Katta Commission" headed by our illustrious classmates. Then we had a round of imitations of our beloved teachers, in which Gudi and KSTG took part in equal measure. Everyone had fun at the expense our beloved teachers.
I also had a verbal duel with Akshay Johar (often called Akshay Joker, though not by me) which was quite enjoyable and invigorating. These verbal duels don't mean anything, they're just plain fun. No offence intended and all that.
Then the bell ending our last day in school rang, and we, in not-so-bad moods, left. But only in the direction of Greater Kailash, to relish pizzas under a thatched roof at Pizza hut. So there goes.
Great fun it was, most certainly, and not "just about". It was fun.
I also managed to get 72/100 in SSt. Good enough and much more than I had expected.
Now, back to studies and the stupid pre-boards.
And merry christmas to all, and a happy new year.
So, bye bye and all those crappy things you say when you end a conversation.
S'all for now.

A Random Post
This is my first random post which, with the help of it's title, proclaims itself as a random post. most of my post are random, but without this title.
Another to be kept in mind is: SSt is the worst subhject conceived by mankind, especially civics. It is truly horrifying. They teach us about child abuse, without realizing that SSt tests are the severest and worst form of child abuse. And i've experienced one on this very day.
Then, we come to the Baazee episode. I feel this Avnish Bajaj character has done nothing, and the Delhi Police has gone mad and is arresting everyone and anyone they can lay their hands on.
Again back to tests. Three tests await me in ths week. A chilling experience, they can be, and will be.
We also have two holidays. And then our final last day in Class X. But that's alright.
And India has won a cricket match, I'm told by my zealous neighbour, as I have no interest in the game.
That is really all I have to say.

The end is nigh
Yes, the tenth is coming to a close. The world as we know it will cease to exist. Sections will be changed and shuffled. People will go their ways. Friends will be separated. And then the Pre-boards.
Why is it that people feel gloomy when the end of tenth is close at hand? Is it because of the impending separation or the impending exams, and hence studies. After a brief chat with my cousin, I've come to the conclusion that it's a combination of both.
Suddenly we have to study ALOT. And no more meeting friends at school. Horrifying.
And at the same time, the Agarwal Study centre had it's last class yesterday, and so I'm even more gloomy. This is probably my only "sad" entry. Most often, I'm happy or I'm complaining (or both), but now it's different.
Enough of this.
Codewars is coming up, and it just so happens that it's my favourite event. For diverse reasons, one being the school's proximity to my home and Priya (In local lingo, the Vasant Lok market is called Priya), which is my favourite hang-out spot. And also because we bagged first place in the Junior Quiz last year. I also love the school "campus" and the layout. It's amazing.
And the iPod photo sucks big-time. I'll explain why in a future entry.
That's all for now.
Bye bye and all that.

The Agarwal Crashcourse
Though Agarwal Regular classes aer just about over, I'm not going to need to miss the place, for teh time being atleast. I've joined the Maths Crashcourse now, and I'll be going to Agarwal regularly for two and a half months more, atleast. YAY YAY YAY YAY!
I feel absolutely ecstatic. I had started feeling so basd about Agarwal ending, I was just scared by the thought of how I'll feel when I leave school. Absolutely Scary.
A few people from the regular classes have also joined, so thats good. I'll keep posting about my progress, entertainment, and things at general at Agarwal, during the crash course.
Bye people, I feel good.

An unexpected development.
First no cellphones, now no internet at school. We're moving into the past. Soon there'll be no fans, tubes and possibly no clothes (back to the leaf-around-groin days, which, some people might argue, isn't bad).
Internet, as is see it, is a lifeline. I require the internet for my existence. So I don't see why it should be banned. If people misuse the internet, we can't ban it. People drive rashly, but you can't ban cars. It's just the same thing.
Things can't be prevented by simply banning them. In fact, I don't think banning the internet at school will stop people from seeing porn. No way. There's always a neighbourhood cybercafe or a friend who's parents aren't home.
But it does affect people who were actually using it.
That's what I have to say.
Suddenly our teachers are after us for our lab files. I've sent my bio file for checking, while I'm yet to make my physics and chem lab file, which, I imagine, will take my quite some time.
And curses be upon Airtel. My GPRS is refusing to work, I haven't received my settings and I've spoken to their Customer Care Executive 3 times.
S'all for now.
Bye bye

Flirting
Flirting, as a term, is greatly misunderstood by a lot of people(especially tenthies). To the misunderstanders(coined by my Science tutor), it applies to merely conversing with the opposite sex.
I know this out of experience. In fact, I had such an experience today. I was talking to a girl at the Agarwal Study Centre, and some very smart dude walked by and said "Dhruv, stop flirting" and put up a show of trying to restrain a laugh. So I will endeavour to make the meaning slightly more clear to the less informed ones, and hopefully, such embarrassing situations can be avoided.
I call these occurrences embarrassing because in many cases, the two parties involved may have no such inclination.
Now, here's the real meaning:
That's about it.
Thank you for being patient.

- To make playfully romantic or sexual overtures.
- To deal lightly, casually, or flippantly with someone or something
- Playful behavior intended to arouse sexual interest
That's about it.

Wednesday
We had an Oracle presentation today which, I must say, wasn't totally hassle-free. We had to finish the presentation and that we did during the first three periods in school. Our project was for 'Kingdom Hospital' and the company was Dignified Database Solutions: Always Dignified.
We hadn't thought much about the ERD and stuff, so when we got hundreds of interjections we were quite unprepared. We still managed to pull off something decent.
And staying back is fun. Undeniably. Nothing like it.
S'all for now.
