LAQ.. Behenji

A Behenji is defined as a plain-looking woman who blends into the background and is an expert at commiting stupid errors because of her slow thinking and is struggling for survival and reproduction.

Her only solace in life is bitching about other people which she does discreetly though in large packs. Most behenjis are lonely in the beginning but eventually they sniff out similar beings in the crowd and form a cohort. It helps to have behenjis in different spheres because they can collect more information and form a greater database. Behenjis stick together through thick and thin. Like velcro. And make just as much noise. At any point of time a behenji is either giggling (we never laugh) or arguing or bitching. Activities like thinking, creating, innovating are unheard of as yet.

Behenjis repel men. Or they become good friends. Some behenjis are prone to attract men from lower socioeconomic groups when they are crossing streets or ambling around late at night. That's all.

Most behenjis use embroidered handkerchiefs with surface areas less than their own palms. It's used just for moral support. To establish yourself as a pucca behenji wear matching clothes and accesories. From hair clips to slippers. A behenji can never look into a mirror without convulsing 4 times worried about her appearance.

Behenji cohorts have one primary female who is the stereotype . Others are variations of her. Some just wallow in its principles.

The most intellectual decisions taken by us varies from what to wear this evening to what to wear next day. Majority of the discussions deal with what that bitch wore today. Or didn't wear.
Behenjis are accomplished in book-keeping. Be it borrowed money or grudges, we never forget, believe me. Behenjis have secret nicknames for everyone. It eases confusion so we know exactly whom we are bitching about.

Behenjis are introspective women who love to think and talk about themselves.
And blog.

3 equals 27

Believe me, I am not getting my Maths wrong. 3 does equal 27.
Getting repeats in OBGY lectures in KEMH is an age-old traditon. 118 lectures are held every year and you should have attended atleast 97 to complete your 75% quota. Now most people do complete this quota by hook or mostly by crook(courtesy proxies). But since the attendances are usually misplaced, the department hands out random repeats. And having done the folly of attending quite a few(read too many), I could hardly be glad when I got the dubious distinction of being a topper amongst the BBC again by getting the highest no of repeats - 27 to be exact! Now to repay this deficit, one has to attend with our joons who have 4 lectures a week. Since my joons had the distinction of being useless when it comes to attending lectures, I had resigned myself to wasting 4 hours per week in these lectures for 7 weeks till 19th July.
Then someone had a brainwave.
Divya made a list of names and roll nos of the 11 of us who hang out whenever time permits and smsed it to all of us. Now we have to attend serially according to our roll nos and mark the attendances, dutifully keep track of our turns and remind the next roll no for her turn. It is obvious that 3 actual attendances should be sufficient to cover up all the deficits with some surplus (especially for those of us who have been lucky to escape with 15-16 repeats. [:-(] )
Anyway the wheels have been set into motion...hopefully things work out so that the repeats are not carried forwards to the PL. Also hope that the attendance sheets are submitted properly and people don't spot the glaring similarities in the way 11 people sign especially on days when it is Saumya's turn! But then as a wise aleck once said, "Man lives in hope. Without hope, there would only be despair".
Touchwood!
P.S. 7 down...20 more to go.
