How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild And Got A Life

How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got A Life: A Novel by Kaavya Viswanathan

My rating: 2 of 5 stars
The starting was good enough. It's about an Indian girl in new jersey whose only goal since she was born was to get admitted in Harvard. With support of her parents (who feed her obsession by making chalking out strategies, goals, making lists, setting deadlines etc) she acquires every other thing she thinks might let her into Harvard. But she is disappointed after her first interview with Dean Anderson who tells her that she needed to get a life(indicating a lack of social interaction and romance in her life).She is asked to reapply again after the graduation.i am disappointed in the story after that. It book turns into a typical "girly"stuff (fashion, boys, makeup,television soaps) when opal follows a plan chalked out by her parents. It is named HOWGAL(how opal will get a life) and consist of three goals for Opal1.to be in the group of most popular girls in school2.to get kissed3.to get wildsomehow i dragged myself to the end of this book, listlessly reading Opal's transformation into a hot chic and detaching herself from the group of geeks where she once belonged. She doesn't enjoy the process but keeps reminding that this is all for Harvard. i think the story is much better in the end when she realizes Harvard isn't everything and most important thing for anyone is to be happy doing whatever they really want to do.

I Won A Goodreads Giveaway!

The book is titled "zero percentile" and it is written by Neeraj Chibba.

It was really an interesting read. My review of the book (as posted on goodreads.com):

 The book is about a boy Pankaj and his life in India and Russia. The book is divided in three parts:

Phase 1: It is all about Pankaj's young life and his friends at school. It reminds of the phase of life when we are young and carefree, make lifetime friends and dream of an extraordinary future. Pankaj's life revolves around his friends, their adventures, failures until the time comes to make a career decision. On his father's advise, he starts preparing exhaustively for IIT JEE.

Phase 2: It deals with the college life of pankaj and is based in Volgograd, Russia. Pankaj lives among students from almost every part of the world and tries to cope up with their entirely different outlook towards life. He learns a lot of ways to deal with the world.

Phase 3: Pankaj becomes responsible about his priorities in life. He tries to make a living in Russia but is deceived by his seniors who cheat him. He starts his own business and faces new challenges at every step. He is also worried about his non-existent love life.

The book is a good read because it is a simple story written in an interesting way. The book is written in first person and has a feel of personal diary. It gives an insight to the problems faced by teenagers, it deals with the fact that ordinary people have the additional weight of responsibility to do something extraordinary to get noticed, it reflects that failures are a part of everyone's life and inspires to look ahead, leaving the bitter memories of past behind.

What to do when you are caught Bunking...

We all have bunked classes, lectures, (some of us might've bunked a whole session, even exams!) while were at school/college.Some poor, unfortunate souls (amateurs specially) get caught in the "act" of bunking. Although it is just innocent rule-breaking by students to escape the boredom enforced on them during the class, teachers and professors consider it as a personal insult hurled at them. They are intent to catch "shameless" students in the act. When their luck is good, they do.

When the students finds themselves in such a tight place, cornered by someone while bunking, they come up with all sorts of explanations and make up stories to save their neck. Some stories/excuses/explanations that students make when they're found OUT of the class when they're supposed to be inside.

1. I was not feeling well, so i came out to breathe in some fresh air.

2. I thought you were absent today.....

3. I had an appointment with my doctor, mum's gonna come to pick me up anytime now.

4. I have lost my homework notebook so i was searching for it in the library, staffroom etc.
5. I was studying in the library and couldn't keep track of time.

6. I was in the bathroom...upset stomach you  know *groan*.

7. I'm out here because I was trying to find out the mathematical equation according to which breeze blows, clouds change shapes and flowers bloom.......for the science project.

8. I was thirsty, but all the water taps seem to have dried up, there was liitle water in the tank at the roof of this building so i was searching  for pebbles to throw in there and make the water level rise.

9. Someone came and told me that i was needed in the football ground, oh no! NOW i realize that it was a prank!

10. I came a bit late and class had already started so i thought i shouldn't disturb.

Stuff students (like me) do when exams are only a week away

1.Call friends at home for group study and end up debating on what to study and then its time for everyone to go.

2. Get up early in the morning, clear the desk to study, read the first page of the book and fall asleep with their head on the desk.

3. Make a timetable and promise themselves that they'd follow it from next day.......(and repeat the process everyday).

4. After few days of procrastination, make some modifications in the time-table (1/2 hr of study- 2 hrs of tea break-1 hr TV break -1/2 hr of study)

5. Download examination tips and sample question papers from internet...and after about 2 hrs search the net again for solution of those sample question papers.

6. Study all night (only to forget everything in the morning).

Canvas shoes: funky, cool, casual, crazy!

Canvas shoes are the best comfort footwear for college students.

1.They are cool and comfy to hang out in and the stretch canvas compound keeps foot active and rejuvenates foot nerves.

2. They suit the taste of every person as they come in a variety of colors an styles.

3.They are economical enough not to pierce a hole in the pocket of an average college going student.

4. They can be paired up with almost everything from funky tees and jeans to shirts and casual denim shorts.
