So wat is this “Cool” basically..?? The first time I came across the word “cool” was in the 3rd grade wrh opposite of cool is hot (as in temperature)...over here in the insti..Common ..!??!
The word cool is all over the place..Even in our mess food, someone’s coming outta the mess and “ya dude the food z cool today” ... gr8.... fine now at least its related to food (hot food..Etc..) Exam cool tha..(When u perform good) and there’s this exam cool ho gaya (when u really mess up..:) “Coolkaal”(really easy paper.. ), “Abe cool hai..” (Generally used when someone’s really frustrated) ... the cool term is all over the place... Even bappi, shambu, chandi da’s use the word “cool”( when u don’t pay the bill n all... “Pore dichis dada...”), “cool ho jaa” (wat..?? Get locked up in a fridge?? ), every sentence will have a “cool” in the end...gr8 now i can list out a million situations where cool is used in our everyday insti life ... Cool kar diya.. Cool aache... Cool prof.... Cool movie, even sms’s in the phones have “cool” in it....height...!!
There are these wannabe cool dudes/dudeens rite.. Like half tucked in, sleeveless.. Ultra low-hip trousers, wrist band, head band, Bling, Attitude T-shirt n all.. Common yaar..!! Ok got it.. Now u are being “Cool” (yeah baby)... it’s funny but at times irritating when guys n gals pretend to be "cool" like some rap or hippy wannabes, now common girls thinking of becoming a super model is really a dudest attempt.... guys!! Cheer up when u can grow long hairs and colour them with eye soaring dyes & shouting really cool words on corridor, then everything is cool....
Coolism and the acads go hand in hand...like getting late up in the morning, bunking classes, n end of the day u are proud standing tall saying “Cool hai” (Actually so dumb hai..),standing outside the class peeping though door n asking ur mates to give a proxy, and when the prof catches you then both of them are “Cool ho Gaye”, still guys smile n blurt out “cool hai..”
Being cool needs a lotta hard work also..wat..?! Surprised?? For god’s sake it’s an NIT...heavy competition rite..u gotta be really dedicated when u are into this cool spree like i have no idea abt how bikes came into existence into the campus all of a sudden (viz. with a student on it), guess i think i missed out that being cool and topping the “wannabe cool” list, u need stuff like a two wheeler, and Lotta Gas, Cash and Grass to keep up your high spirits and roar like a speedy monster in the campus, common yaar.. coll campus aint that big (No offence) but, crossing the extreme limits of this “cooling effect” will make lil devil sitting round the corner wave u a “hi” and say “ So u think u are cool eh..Be my guest...” i know it’s a really sweet phrase but gets very bitter when the u are the guest..... “Yeh Cool nhi hai”...
Where do u fall in this cool world of ours..??! Are u the person using the word cool in your daily vocab..!? Or are u the one banging hard for being the coolest person in the campus..?? (Remember the hippy thang) or are u the person “cool” enough to wait and watch till something really goes bad..???! But i fear that real damage has already been done...
So When Do u know it’s Cool...?! Why stay confused on this narrow but brilliantly blurry line of “COOL”...
Be Yourself, Be Cool...
