Fear of the Zip Obsessed..:O

Corny start? ? ? Intentionally planted lines for a "perked up" start. Just an idea of what's coming. Now..wait a minute.. it's got nothing to do with pornography, rapists or anything concerning *matter*... It largely revolves around a 4 letter word. [*wrong guess again, it doesn't begin with F ;-) *] R-A-i-d.. It happens once in a while,once in a while being monthly once. A pack of gangsters barge into the classroom, bringing us divine beings sleeping away to glory, back to mother earth. They almost start diving and digging into the bags, underneath desks, etc etc etc. The entire process involves a lot of zipping and unzipping. Sometimes accompanied by struggle with the stuck zips, which raises the suspicion even more, and the poor zip gets unzipped more harshly than the rest. All this to check if we had anything out of the list of things to carry to school (!!)-books , "college benchmarked "notebooks, calci, pen,pencil,rubber,rough notebook. A list of "non-bringables" being
1. novels of all types - Be it the Mills and Boons or the R.L.Stine types, the archies or the tinkles ,and God forbid - Potter(s)!! ;-)
2.Mobile.(beware - even basic 2100 model gets snatched away.Want to get rid of old antique models ? - Join the club)
3.Music Cd's, Dvds,Matter Cds, Comedy Cds, sometimes even "Authentic" Project materials
4.iPods, mp3 players,portable mini Radio , transistor, walkie-talkie set
5. Last but not the least - Hindu newspaper- mainly Friday review, if it happens to be Friday (the 13th?) or probably metroplus. Deccan chronicle -( more severe offence due to the party stuff in the last page)

Well..with that note, I would like to end like a "hardcore" optimist....Just one more year left, to live in fear..!! :) ;) ;-)
