Orkut: The Marriage Counselor

If on my orkut profile page, my relationship status is displayed as "Married" and Living is displayed as "with parents", what does that imply?

Here are the options I offer to help you get the answer.

Option A : Did I pick a fight with my hubby and go to my mom's place?

Option B: Do my Parents also stay with me at my hubby's place?

Option C : Do we both stay at my parents’ place?

Option D: None of the above.

If you took an audience poll and landed up with Option A as the answer, sorry , no-better-luck-next-time too!! Neither are Options B and C right.

Well, the answer, of course, is Option D: None of the above!! (It had better be your answer!!)

If my profile states that,all it means is that I have not edited the profile completely,forgetful and careless that I am !!
Hmmmph!! Some people simply think too hard as if brains are only to think!! :D

Love in Excess!!

Girlfriend (Gf): Love you, dear.

(Blushing all the way)

Boyfriend (Bf): Love you too,honey.

(Yes lad, saw your 32nd tooth too!!)

Gf: Huh? Love me too?

Bf: Of course dear, Love you too!!

(Oh moron, adjust your tone, don't sound as if you are doing a favour!!)

Gf : What the hell do you mean by love me 'too'? Now tell me, who else also?

Bf: Oh...well...no... not like that..

Gf: Just tell me who else it is, right now, won't you?

Bf: Oh My God!! (by the way, the girl's now away by 1 Km !!)

Well, I guess it's time I stopped imagining dialogues between young Romeos and Juliets in the parks who come,hand in hand, all smiling, and go one behind the other necessarily in the order,guy behind the girl, girl crying mostly and walking away once in a while, guy pacifying, failing more often than not!!

I don't know,do I?

I am diagnosed of an abnormality,so I guess.

I don't know what i seem to know!!! Yeah,I looked at my resume today! Unfortunately!

Having said that I glanced at my resume,need I say that I ought to get ample of reassurance to build my confidence? I guess,God always knew I needed a reminder to be postive that he made every droplet of my blood say B +ve!! So, to uphold that, I am trying to come up with some remedy. Learn all that I have quoted in my resume or modify my resume to match whatever I know? Confused!
However,modifying my resume by removing whatever I don't know seems to be apparently a less-taxing task.Wait a second, if only I knew what I know and what I don't. Would I not learn if I knew that I don't know something? If I have not learnt something, does it not mean that I don't know that I don't know that! Gosh! Soup it is!

I always knew it's not a myth when folks said working on a saturday is injurious to health. It's not kept me sane on all the days I ignored that warning! By the way, combined effort with friends while building the resume does not help.It simply does not help! Trust me!

deFAULT

While I was browsing through the E-card gallery (yeah! for a Valentine's Day card for my loved one! Who am I hiding it from?), I found a real cute card which said " The only thing I love the most is YOU,YOU and YOU",besides other mushy wordings.The animation was good and the background music could not have been any better. Perfect treasure hunt it was in a short time, given the fact that I am so very infrequent at the galleries and hence unfamiliar about which gallery hosts the best of the cards. Being proud of my achievement,I sent it.

Then came the problem. There flashed a page saying:
“E-Card sent successfully"
“Click here to send this card to someone else” (And a button associated with the statement)

Huh? Send the card to someone else also? Doesn't my loved one have a problem? Well, I have....

Sometimes, passing on defaults to everything possible is a fault,no doubt!! ( Or does someone wink and say,not a fault, not at least in the case mentioned above? :D)

Awe-'struck'

For days,

The clock struck 6
I woke up to a new day

The clock struck 8
I left for a long day at office

The clock struck 10 in the night
I would be back home

The clock struck 11
I bid good-bye to the day

And one fine (actually, not-so-fine) day,

The clock didn’t strike
I woke up to a new day at 6

The clock didn’t strike
I left at 8 for a long day at office

The clock didn’t strike
I was home at 10 in the night

The clock didn’t strike
I bid good-bye to the day at 11!!

Hey Clock, how mechanical can life get? A mechanical entity like you will manage to take a break for want of cell to get rejuvenated, but we don’t, rather can’t afford to!

Clean Sweep!

Today, it is one of the very few times when Bangalore presents itself to me in a form very different.

The Hosur Road didn’t treat me to the aroma of the Carbon-monoxide.

The Madivala market did not treat me to the smell of rotten tomatoes and greens.

Neither did the Smoking Zone at office vex me, when I went past it to the café.

The foot paths where people left a mark whenever nature beckoned, did not bother me either.

The big (heard some rumours that it’s getting nominated for Limca Book of Records!!) Dust bin at the end of the road didn’t stink at all.

The public toilets at Majestic bus-stop did not go all that public (For once, the delayed bus did not annoy me).

No, it is not 'Anti-pollution day' or 'Keep the City Clean Campaign' happening at Bangalore. Sometimes, catching cold can be soothing too. Ostensibly, pollution-free Bangalore it is for me. And how cruel and jealous of people to advise me to see a doctor to get rid of something that has done such good to me?! Unfair!

About me

When Beta-blogger was introduced, I was so excited about changing the outlook of my blog and I thought I revised every division of it. That was just what I thought. Today, I suddenly realize that 'About Me' section was something I had left untouched, unaware. It is certainly not that my traits don't need a relook and if not modified, does that mean, even over a considerable span of time, when everything around us changes, I haven't? How can a person or his traits remain stagnant, rather afford to be so?

By the way, every time one is asked to describe oneself, I am sure, more often than not, many people pause owing to their mind going blank, then realize something needs to be told and try and explain themselves in whatever best way they can. Every time I face the question, I guess, I give a varied answer. Not that I change often, it’s just that I don’t have a fixed opinion about myself. After having been with myself for over 24 years, if I can’t understand myself, how am I to understand others? If asked to write a paragraph about Gandhiji, maybe I would, but about me, a paragraph? No way!! Does that mean I am so complicated to be understood, even by myself? Mind-boggling!

What still strikes me is what makes every one to be so different making it difficult for us to understand oneself or others? My sister and brother were brought up in the same environmental setup as I, went to the same school as I, were taught by the same teachers as I, yet we are different. Very different. It is said situations make the person you are, to put it simply, even the situations we faced, by far, were not too different. Just that we siblings are way too different!

I only think I will never understand myself better, and when I had put

“ Hmmm..... boy! this space has indeed put me into a lot of introspection. At the end of it all, I realise I am every inch a Gemini, good and bad attributes in consideration. Loquacity is a trait running in my veins. Mostly fun-loving and sociable, but, on and offs in moods cannot be denied. All in all, a moderate soul.”

under the About me section, it was just that instantaneous opinion I had about myself when I wrote it. If asked to write afresh, I might give a totally contrasting version.

Well, here I go and change the 'About me' section to something that will stand valid despite my being ignorant of myself.

About me? Well, “The less said the better, for I might contradict myself in no time!”

Hey Guy, marry not!!

Hey Guy, marry not ....

Coz your peers did
Coz you are now 'well-settled'
Coz your parents insist
Coz you earn enough now
Coz you own a flat now
Coz you yearn for home-made food
Coz your horoscope says it's the right time
Coz you are visiting India from the U.S on a long holiday and not sure when you can visit again!!
Coz you are on the verge of getting fatter
And of all,
Coz you are balding!!


Marry only if/when you feel you need a soulmate for life. May God bless.Amen!

P.S: However,girls will generally not marry without looking into these criteria,though!!! :P

Saw this slogan on a guy's T-Shirt: “ Save Earth,it’s the only planet with Girls!! ”
(People not satisfying the criteria might be feeling otherwise !!)
