Made in China

Yet another article "Made in China" I own today. Some I owned when on my short foreign visit and a lot when my kith and kin visited us shortly.

China's got all the talent in the world, but just is due to realize that it can and is ruling the world, controlling other countries' economy and most importantly ,making life easy for people staying abroad, visiting us on a vacation!! It is so natural to expect 'imported' gifts and one wouldn't mind fulfilling the expectation as long as 'Made in China' articles are there to be gifted.

I am not complaining at all :) After all, I got an imported gift !

Loss or Gain?

Besides loss of hair, if you happen to discover the presence of grey hair, what should you attribute it to? The stress... of hair loss? or Age gain?

Sheer conspiracy

One of those days , I tell you , you and you.

Just when the world conspires with my bad luck and impatience, worse to happen,for sure.
In fact, worse is not the word!

If there is some enclosure I have to attach urgently and I prepare that for 3 hours only to lose it for having closed the window of the editor per chance.. what do you say!!


Stupid me or is it the conspiracy to be totally blamed?!

Boytalk

One of my colleagues is due to get married in a couple of months. When he announced the news to friends, a gang of guys surrounded his cube and started ragging him.

I was forced to EVEsdrop for the laughter was so loud to seek anyone's attention.

Gang leader : Congrats,man!
Colleague: Thanks.
Gang leader: Continue to be happy man [Echoed by a huge burst of laughter by married men!]
Colleague: So difficult to be happy is it?
Gang Leader: Well, it depends. Sometimes, it is difficult, sometimes, it is more difficult!!

I must admit, I laughed out loud hearing that. Can't stop imagining how my husband would be 'motivating' other bachelors to get married! Men will be men, huh?

English with Indian Tadka

Whoever belittles Indian-English accent, has to keenly notice that it has indeed a prime place in structuring English.
Why do you think "Especially" got coined as if "specially" wasn't enough?

Rakhi ka swayamvar

I knew it ! It could possibly have been none other than the Toronto Businessman. I always felt it was pre-cooked as one wouldn't want to risk their life by marrying any body turning up for a TV reality show. I still feel, she knew him before and wished to tie up with him and helped NDTV Imagine make a show out of it by gathering some set of folks!

Whatever, I must admit, I have watched the idiotic show , if not all, at least quite some episodes for the sheer fun that gave to see the pretentious bride-to-be!


When it was the D-day ( the latest one) of Rakhi's life to choose the groom, The emcee asked the gathering to stand up to wish the couple-to-be.

"Are people going to sing National Anthem that one has to stand up?" ,I said.

"No... it's a stand-up comedy!! That's why. Now, stop adding to the TRP of this funny show!", he said.

Moment of Truth

In a restaurant, last saturday, I witnessed a true test of character and someone passing it too. Good food relished with the family. When it came to foot the bill, the person called the waiter for some clarification. As the case normally would be, I thought there was some mis-calculation and some dish being charged more or charged for extra rotis that were never ordered for. The person promptly told the waiter that the cost of Chicken Biryani was not included in the bill and asked him to get that included.

The waiter was so grateful for the person for having helped him out from being in a soup.

It really made me feel good, more so for honest act being of my husband. I appreciated him for it and he said "I know, the restaurants however over-price things, they will not lose a penny by missing out on billing one of our orders, but I really pitied the waiter. When the manager tallies things and gets to know, he would be rebuked. Why get that done, knowingly?"

Speaks volumes of the person he is, isn't it?
