Friends n all that jazz


When you're a bachelor, forced or natural,out here in Dubai, the most communicative people are,not friends,not colleagues,but,the ever-smiling waiters(Or,should I say 'waiter de'), who go 'ohhh, itne din baad-kaise hain aap?'(oooh...after so many days...how are you?), and,they'll end up inquiring about where you took your vacation, how it went, how the family is,et al. I mean,I'm sure they'll forget it all after 10 minutes,but,at that moment,in a concrete jungle,it's nice to see that someone has the time for such pleasantries,na??
-----
Speaking of people(Pun intended), I wonder how people can talk nineteen to the dozen, while speaking, unmindful of that gravy dripping out from the gap in their mouths when they speak,unmindful of that noodle hanging out- why do they love talking so much, I wonder?Give me a silent eater anyday(Just like me!Ahem!), who makes polite conversation,but,only after finishing the morself of foods in their mouths.Anyway,to each his or her own,I guess.
----
That reminds me,I must update my inspirations blog....and,my jokes blog...and write on the ever-inviting BUF topics...quite a handful,err,keyboardfull of writing to be done...how nice-something to look forward to.

Quiz of the day:

A finger goes in me. You fiddle with me when you're bored. The best man always has me first. What Am I?

Q-A of the day:

Q: Why do Scottish men wear kilts?
A: The sound of the zipper scares the sheep

Am the silent eater types too.
Have you noticed how ppl manage conversations (aka gossip) at reception buffets, balancing plate and cell in one hand and eating and talking?

Amazing.

Perception

Image
  Hi all positive people.. a topic I often think over.. it's something which helped a lot in changing my thoughts towards the positive side (Again, learned via the Secret)... and, still does, in this always continual learning curve. The subject: Perception... my own perception: Think over it, specially, your negative thoughts and emotions about people and things - you find someone to be angry, you find them to be always complaining, you hate(That's the worst negative word, according to me.. better to dislike than hate, if you have to) someone or something. Think over it... are those persons or things like that? Or, it it your perception of how they are? Have you tried to put yourself in their place to see if they are, deep inside worried about something else, and that worry comes out as irritation towards you? One of the best remedies: Smile, bless that person or those persons and wish them all the best.. if they don't change, nee, not them, but YOUR perception of them does

Inventions and Discoveries

I'm really curious. Who invented the 'Va'. Or the 'Sha'. Or the 'Wi'. Or some such words. No, they're not some illnesses or prefixes. These are the words we invent when talking to people. I see the usage the max, specially in Baroda. Like: 1. Chai-Vaai peeni hai?(Want to have some Chai-Vaai?) 2. Naashta-Vaashta kar liya?(Did you have Naashta-Vaashta?) 3. Chutney-Vutney hai kya?( Is there any chutney-vutney?) 4. Lift-Wift nahin hai kya building mein?(Isn't there a Life-Wift in the building?) 5. Bombay-Wombay/ Dubai-Shubai kab jaa rahe ho ab?(When are you going to ....?) 6. Paise-Vaise milenge time pe ya nahin?(Will you get Paise-Vaise on time or not?) There are so many others I come across during the day, like, say speaker-veeker, phone-vone, kapde-vapde, dukaan-vukaan, that I have these rhyming words coming out of my ears, and, Arghhh!! Since the last few days, even I've started talking like this. Hopefully it won't be too rampant on my blo

Tag:What's in your bag?

Image
(Disclaimer: all the briefcase pics are courtesy goo-gling) Sush ,nee, SS has tagged me(thanks for that,SS)-the (ahem) only guy picked to do the tag...curiosity @ what I carry in my briefcase,apparently.:) So,here goes...be ready to get shocked??Not really.. ---- Currently: Answer is : Nothing..:)hehe..why? Coz I don't carry a bag or a briefcase. Some months back, I decided that I was fed up of carrying...(Well,that appears below)...anything to work. Just decided' Khaali haath aaye the hum, khaali haath jaayenge' applies to my work place,too..and..the rest,as they say, is history..so while people look proud lugging their laptops,their lunches, et al everyday to work..and sweating away in this humid weather, I'm cool,calm, collected...no pressure on the arms,so to speak. All the 'necessities', from otrivin to homeopathic medicine to headache tabs,biscuits,sweet awla,sunflower seeds ..are kept in the drawer of my desk. ---- To continue the tag from the
