Version 5.0 :Surprise

The oft heard responses: 'What?!'... 'Are you serious?!'... 'Get out of here!'... 'WTF?!'... (Profanities censored)

And the mellower ones: 'Really?!'... 'oh! That's new/nice'... 'oh.. okay!'

This post is about instances and the appropriate responses this semester.

(A) Beginning of the sem, just when I returned home after gorging ravenously on food at home. "Anunaya, you've lost more weight!"

Response: 'Really?!' *rolled eyes*

(B) Three of my sophomore brethren are 'reverted' to their original branches because of Administration's fault.

Response: 'What?!'

(C) A 4 day strike is announced by the faculty protesting against the step-motherly treatment meted out to then by Ministry of Human Resource Development.

Response: 'Are you serious?!'

(D) The strike is called off in one day, whilst I am relaxing at home.

Response: 'Get out of here!'

(E) I announce to the folks in Roorkee that I shall no longer run away home at the drop of a hat.

Response: 'oh! That's new!'

(F) A random conversation with the Electrical junta wherein I state that I shall fair miserably this semester.

Response: 'Get out of here!'

(G) I am told that "my writing is pathetic."

Response: 'oh.. okay!' (In retrospect: 'ha ha')

(H) I am watching 6 flicks back-to-back on the 20th November, 2009. A virtuous human being tells me the exams are 3 days away.

Response: 'oh! That's nice'

(J) "I think I am falling for you.. if you get the drift!"

Response: 'What?!'... 'Really?!'... 'Get out of here!'
