Yes,Sir

How do you say 'Yes' ? I'm curious. Do you say 'yes' and then swing your head from left to right to left? I first came to know @ this character trait some years back, when I first came here. The Boss at the first Co was talking to me, and I'd say 'Yes', and swing my head from left to right. One day he asked me' Are you agreeing with me or disagreeing?What is'Yes' and then a shake of the head?' That day, I went home and did a mock check in front of the mirror, and it turns out he was right- so I consciously changed the habit and now I nod my head when agreeing. And, me being me, I began observing people to see how they agree-  believe it or not, a majority of Indians(specially) have this habit. Makes me grin now to think about it. So, you tell me- do you agree in harmony with voice and body? ---- There's also this trait people have- of 'describing', so, someone giving directions to someone on the phone makes his hand go lef...

Seinfeld

Scene: Seinfeld and friend Elaine are discussing a lady who visits the gym at the same time as they do. Elaine's convinced that the lady's 'b e sts' are fake. (too spectacular to be true, is what their discussion is about) Elaine: You've dated women with nose jobs before. Seinfeld: You don't touch the nose. You don't aspire to reach the nose. You don't unhook anything to get to a nose. And no man has ever tried to look up a woman's nostril." Elaine: You've really put a lot of thought into this, haven't you? Seinfeld:Well,I take it very seriously. ------------- The whole episode runs from one scene to another-Elaine trying to judge about what she calls 'silicone valley' when she's in the sauna with the lady, how she trips over a stool in the sauna and is saved because she grabs'them'.(Nooo...they didn't show any adult content- it was just Elaine tripping, and the rest is left to your imagination..:)) ...

Do you have visitors at your place, and , when you ask them'Kya lenge?', i.e. 'What'll you have?', well, the answer is 'kuch nahin'...and, you smile and,after asking again, you settle down? Well, it turns out that what they're asking for is: Kuch Nai . I couldn't believe my eyes when i saw this. and, wait till you see the second pic I got via email. It explains the meaning of Kuchh Nai. Hahahahaha...gotcha there,huh?So, next time someone says 'Kuchh Nai', look them in the eye to see if this is what they really want.:) Have a great day...our weekend's coming up-just 1 more working day to go..looking forward to it,really...been so hectic...:)Cheerio.

Sense of Humour

Don't you just love people with a sense of humour? Like today. Courtesy the next session for the RTC of my 2 famous teeth, I've been told to prefer icecream, liquids,etc  rather than chewing. So, I ordered a pineapple juice with icecream, supposedly to kill two birds with one stone, as they say in the proverb. And, I told the restaurant guy, no sugar in the juice. And Mr. Smart Guy says' Oh, sir, but I can't avoid the  sugar in the icecream'...just as I was going to tell him to get sugarfree icecream, he turned around with a smile at the next person calling him...ROFL. I let the topic go, at that. It reminded me of the time I was getting attestations on my degree, et al, and needed True Copy stamps by a Notary on the certificate. This was in 1997, when I'd first gone to Abu Dhabi for 3 months on deputation.(My long trip began in year 2002) Now, we were staying in our city home that time and I always used to see a notary's board during my evening walk,...
