The scrubs-isation of my life.

“Change begets change” said the janitor in the season finale of Season 8 of ‘Scrubs’. And as I peered into the screen, into his wrinkled and yet sparkly blue eyes (yes, I do kind of have a crush on the janitor, no thanks to a certain raunchy profs definition of a janitor. "Janitor, yes he is guy above all in an organisation. He is above all the lawyers and the partners. He knows all information even before the CEO does!!” said the prof with all earnesty!! And you wonder why we still don’t have jobs. We were taught all too well!!)

Anyway, the point I am pushing here, is that everything is changing, and not for the good. Read on…

So, they have packed their bags and they are out of here. Its so hard writing about it, because it makes me sick to my stomach, thinking vini n karu are not here with me right now glaring into the laptop and asking repeatedly, “what you writing?? chal neeche, pandeyji par…” They are in Mumbai, in fact, starting their professional careers. And I am still stuck in Delhi, as usual. Too much is changing here. Divya had a baby boy, and as soon as I learnt of that I just couldn’t help but imagine how different our worlds are now. I even hesitated calling her, because I didn’t know what, how to talk to her- a mother.

Same story all over again here. I have been hesitating sms-ing them, or mailing them leave alone calling them and asking how is it going, and that I miss them so much already. I don’t know if its worse, because I don’t have something- A JOB- to look forward to. Maybe that is why I yearn for the good old times.
And that’s not even the worst part. I think the tamarinds had to disband before we could reach epic heights! In Scrubs talk, I wish had more time with my Turk (s). Yep I get to be J.D., the main character.

And if all this change wasn’t enough, the season finale of ‘Scrubs’ was so damn emo-gutted that it would make even Vini cry. And I am an amateur cry-er. I hate sitcoms getting over more than I hate my friends leaving n moving on. Sitcoms and their kind are supposed to be long running, utopic places, where friends never lose touch and people like osama bin laden don’t exist.

Ironically, the soundtrack of Scrubs is totally appropriate for me tho…

Well, I know what I've been told,
You got to work to feed the soul
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know, I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman


Aaarrgghh… I am too emotionally wasted to write this further… peace out!!

PS. Some scrubs lingo I have picked up and should be effectively whacked out of me:
1. I'll holla mah brotha!!
2. Angry, self destructive talk.
3. Calling everyone, boys, girls, dogs, SALLY/ JINA/BRITNEY/ LISA and other girl names!!!
4. Repeatedly answering with a MM-HMM, and jesus is watching you!!
and the list goes on n on n on... u get where i am going with this arent u margaret??

The point is I hav very little idea about sitcoms,, so cant comment much on that. SO even if a sitcom is getting over then I think only u and the sundry others would understand its importance :D

Things as u have rightly said are changing,,,ur tamarind sisters have moved to a different place though not far away,is int it. You never know u might have to meet them soon (frankly speaking this is very much possible, India is not very big). nd please dont be down,, I dont like that a chirpy lady like u keeps a sad kaddu wala face :P jobs are not th end of life (though its not easy to accept th fact but its true),, nd dont worry u will get it,, (we all are well read, its just that their aint enough jobs out there in the market which can hold students as good as us in the organization)...
A gentle request,, call ur frnds and ask them how they are,, they might be thinking the same and (like u) not calling to know hw u r doing... I am very confident of the fact that things will soon be on track and u will also be running on the track pacing with the Tamarinds reaching the epic height ,, not in IMI but at a different level. Actually the characters will remain the same only the environment will change (environ like,, no coleg , just the corporate life nd etc etc)..
Keep in touch of ur good frnds,,, but u need not be in touch with me,, coz,, in any case i will be regularly poking u...on phone and in person (nd u better bear with me coz i m not gonna wait for ur call or smthing,, i m like the parasite,, the one u cant get rid of, u can shoo me off if possible :D) . Last line and then i m off to sleep ,, I hope uve seen the movie Na tum jano na hum (nahi dekhi :O to dekh lo,, nice movie),, ny ways..the movie starts with a line saying "Kabhi kabhi uspe (God) chhodna padta hai" Keep smiling nd writing

Hey,
I just saw your comment today... yeah i have seen "na tum jaano.." and i liked it also. Yeah everything has a plan, but sometimes it gets tuff to see the plan.
Tho m nt very sad about it. Esp since this blog- meggs knows best- is kept only for funny stuff etc. So anything posted here means its posted with a wry smile, and a wink. If i post on the other blog- something so anything- thats the serious one, and as ronald wud put it the one with great melachony!!
I am not sad abt all of this, but def concerned. It never is nice to have so much time on your hand that you acutally google "how to kill time" !!!
yeah!!!
anyhow.. i will/ have to keep in touch wid u and the sisters- after all family is family!! :P :)

catch u online soon!!
cheerios!!
