Acids Taste sour.......

All of us would have heard this as a property in or the studious(unlike me) would have read it in books......buthow many actually tasted it? and of course washed hand with it instead of water...
Well! I have ..Anyone who knows me ,will know that i and chemistry have as much in connection as Hitler and Peace did.The roots for that and my many trysts with chemistry have left me very less to remember all of which will be given for reader's pleasure..now! get ready for some rollicking laughter.
My first chemistry class in 6th standard(until then it was science combined!),
Maam: Aravind,What do you know about Water(she asked me as i was playing and not listening)?
Me : I'll drink that whenever i feel thirsty.(Ahem, i was pretty innocent then)
Maam:Anything else?
Me : (Now a grin across my face)Ill ask permission to go out to drink water so that i can cut the period!
Class Laughs Maam made note that this boy was to become the bane of all the teachers later,and so not exactly disliked me but ofcourse did not approve of me very much,and me being upto all mischiefs that even Fred and George would'nt have thought trying, did very less to change that,

One fine evening:I was with Dad,..Met him after a long time as he was posted in Banglore and was living there whereas i was in Chennai."How are your studies going?""Dad,time to change topic"Laughter "Dei,I heard you take from me in chemistry..""Dad, you tell me that you too are bad at it?""After my 12th due to my dad's impertinence i had to do a 3 year course in chemistry, And till now i have'nt cleared my arrears......"I never had seen a more resemblence in me to my dad till now...

Then.....( a Few years later)....:I was sweating Profusely,Not one single question was known..not even one, i ransacked my grey cells for something ,something at all that i had seen in the books or heard my friends speak of,Er..nothing came up..it was my chemistry exam in 8th,in the sense it was the chemistry part..My mom was a teacher in the same school and every time my chemisry sir went upto my mom with me and made me promise that i would open my account in chemistry next time at least! I had managed to pass the previous times just because i wrote the physics and boi portions well..one more time...it wasnt that which bothered..it was the thought of the computer my mom promised to buy me if i did well in chemistry.I relied on my freind but he totally betrayed me my hiding his answer sheet..moron i havent forgiven him till nowFinally i managed a 3 on 25 on that paper in chemistry..my life long tiff with chemistry had very well begun...huh

10th standard Board exams,Science:"A boy by the name Aravind is writing the exams ......see to that he dosen't copy.....if he gets caught the school will lose it's pride." These were the words of my principal to the examiner who came to invigilate..Earlier, My Sis said:"Dei,All the best,I know you'll do very well..but if at all you want to copy do it very cleverly..pls for heavens sake you are my bro!!These words left me flustered,Should i copy in chemistry?........finally i got a 98 on 100 in that paper losing both marks in chemistry..

November 11th 2005,Around 3 in the evening,Vanavani .mat.hr.sec.school,Chemistry lab: It was pouring outside,pretty torrential,and someone was inside undergoing a thousand somersaults a minute inside his stomach..none other than yours truly..I was sweating even though it was cold outside..and of course inside also..i was shivering no,not the cold it was my titration (date verified from my diary)..we had to pippete sodium hydroxide and pour Hydrochloric acid in the burette..i did exactly the opposite in my fear and while pippeting drank the hydrochoric acid..save for the diluteness of the acid, i really thought i was going to lose my throat ,my lovely voice(lols!!),.........and the thought train was interruped by the coarse voice of my lab attendant asking me to relax..i thought whatever happens your voice can't get worse than that Well ,I thought acids do taste sour,That night in my apartment me and my friends had a very good laugh speakin about all this..

May 14th,2007:My Board results were announced i got a 195 in chemistry ...my personal highest..How ironical can life get? and will murphy's law ever be proved wrong?Once again the thought process interrupted my mom,i thought it was a dream for day-dreams were nothing new to me,the heat and the tension could have done something...but it was true as true as Gandhi supported non-violence!!

April 1st 2008:Now,in NIT-Trichy,one semester had passed,without any further incident ,of course,me messing up titrations is nothing new..Well, Getting back to present,Waiting for the teacher to call my name and hand out my answer sheet..I got a 13 on 20...my first double digit score in 4 tests in college..i told my mom she replied all this things will happen only on the fool's day!!
Well,that also happened to be my penultimate chemistry exam in my life.:)
To chemistry, Buddy we never struck chemistry...sorry for that phrase..could'nt resist it,and it seems you will be out of my life in a matter of one more exam,not that ill miss you ,not that ill brood your absence..that sense of thrill you gave me when i wrote the exams,...whoa! unparalleled....Anyways..Goodbye and enlighten other's life at least..The only thing i have felt happy leaving behind....
This relationship has spanned many pages of my diary and well.....breaking up at last!
