Stifling my laughter all the way!

The six hours sleep that I had was not enough I guess. My mind was still not fully awake and my body was yearning to lie on the bed for ever. I got up from my bed, stretching myself and frantically rubbing my eyes to properly wake up. I got dressed for college, still half asleep. I knew the day was going to be long and hard because right after college, we had our spot news photography submission to make and this means: roaming around the city with camera in hand and all.

We left college, and left for our khoj of subjects which would make it for spot news. We usually enjoyed taking pictures of the diverse subjects around the city but one most annoying factor that we had to put up with while on this assignment is that we are forever infected with “guys-look at you-tease you-irritate the crap out of you syndrome.” Learn to live with it, says one of my friend, but it’s not so easy for me. My anger just gets the better of me when I see immature guys trying to make an ass of themselves by trying some ju ju ( in Damon’s language) in front of us. But let me tell you, it is usually a miserable flop because we don’t even look up to se what they are saying or doing.

We were walking on the road, cameras poised, ready to capture any significant occurrence when we saw two guys, both in blue, in a bike. They were doing some weird kind of dance. It looked for a second like they were flailing their hands and legs. Amused, the three of us looked closer, only to see them waving and dancing in our direction. What they expected us to do or how they expected us to react, god only knows, because the only reaction from our side was “acting like they don’t exist”.

Five guys walking towards us saw us with the cameras and one of the lot went,” you-camera-having-me, him; you, him-picture-take! (If you are wondering what that Shakespere was trying to say, here goes the meaning: you have cameras. Take pictures of my friend and me and then of us [you and me]!) all we could do was stare at him and wonder “Shakespere would feel proud of you, my boy!”

All this has become a part of our lives now and we still find pleasure in clicking pictures with pain-in-the-asses all around us! After all what’s the fun without facing some trouble in life!

P.S: The photography session went on well that day. we went back home, laughing as we thought of the number of guys we had to wad off that day!
