What's social about it?

This is a very small post and is a reaction to the feelings that emanate when I open by social networking pages and see arbit friend requests. Some crack me up while some make me hate myself when I registered on one of these sites. I am writing about the 3 friend requests I got this morning, people who I do not know and never would want to know in my remaining human life.

- Person name : Prem Diwani
- Reason for sending the request: Not mentioned
- My reaction would be: I can understand the injustice that your parents have inflicted upon you by naming you in the first place. I sympathize with you but I am bad at sharing sadness. Also I dont think you define sadness. Its the sadness that was defined after you.

- Person name : Manu Patel
- Reason for sending the request: Hi, I want to do a CAT and need some tips
- My reaction would be: Hai raam, kya hogaya is duniya ko!! :-)

- Person name : Ramchandra Bhoye
- Reason for sending the request: Remember me?
- My reaction would be: If I would want to remeber you then you would already be in my friends list. If you are someone who I have met just once an you feel I deserve to be your friend, its Ok. I have magnetic effect on people. :-P

Bala-G ... "G" maane "Goofy"

I would have posted this long time ago, but this post had been sitting in the Drafts section of my blog as I wanted to post it when the day is right. And today the day is right... :-)


The following is an excerpt from a non-fictional conquest of Z-balls to try and find a girl and part ways from the ossum club of the single called "Balls-Bhramchari"

The following excerpt involves a girl (in future referred as Balika-G) and Z-balls (in future referred as Bala-G)

Scene : Z-balls and the girl are sitting alone in a room and discussing if they can see a future for themselves.

Balika-G :Hello, I am Anamika
Bala-G: I am Bala-G or Man-Duck (B.Arch, MBA from IIMA) .... eom

Balika-G: Wow! I have never met a graduate from IIMA... Is this the real one or something like IIPM?
Bala-G: Its Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad .... Grrrr.....Peace to all ...eom

Balika-G: I am feeling I am doing all the talking... hee haw... you should also say something.
Bala-G: Yes you are... eom

Bala-G: I do have some questions for you though. Do you know how to play Frisbee? ...eom
Balika-G: Yes. I used to play forward in my Home Science days.... you know I am good at Home Science .. ;-)
Bala-G: I have heard this home science dialogue somewhere...in some movie...So will you teach me then? I am sick of camouflaging that I know how to play frisbee. Some of friends knew that and I used to bribe them with Nimbu paani in CT ...eom
Balika-G: (gives a wierd look) ... oh ok...

Bala-G: Do you know how to cook food? I always wanted to be a cook, but my grades were low in Std XII and so could get only into Architecture ...eom
Balika-G: Yes. I am glad you are honest about your ignorance.
Bala-G: I have to be. Everyone figures out in some time anyways. So I give it away myself. They call it Freezo level in IIMA...eom
Balika-G: Why do you always say "eom" after every sentence?
Bala-G: It means "End of message" but some enemies of mine have coined it as "End of Manhood" ...eom
Balika-G: ewwww!

Bala-G: How far is your office from Airport? ...eom
Balika-G: Not very far. Why do you ask?
Bala-G: (thinks) ... (thinks again and slips the next question)

Bala-G: Will you be able to shift to "Saddi Dilli" after marriage? ...eom
Balika-G; I may. but whats so good about Dilli?
Bala-G: (thinks harder than ever this time..) ... Peace to all ...eom

Bala-G: Do you hate Mumbai? ...eom
Balika-G: No way! I am from Mumbai. You should have atleast have read my CV before shortlisting me.
Bala-G: Ohh I got just 1 CV that too after so many years...and even placecommers don't read the CVs before shortlisting people :-P ...eom
Balika-G: oh ok

Balika-G somehow realizes that now she has to dump Bala-G and suddenly her mood changes and she starts acting weirder than even Bala-G

Bala-G:Do you know how to sing? ...eom
Balika-G: Yes but only after 2-3 Vodka with Cranberry drinks.
Bala-G: So you drink too?? ...eom
Balika-G: Only on weekdays, weekends I am home so I manage with Hash and Grass...

Bala-G: Did you have a BF before? ...eom
Balika-G: Not many
Bala-G: (shocked and not knowing how to react... he slips a filler question)

Bala-G: Are you a BJP supporter or Congress or the 3rd front.. or the 4th front? ...eom
Balika-G: Last time I voted for Congress... this time it will be 3rd front. I like Mayawati's entrepreneurial spirit of converting election into Revenue generation scheme at the expense of election commission. I hate BJP and Hindu loyalists...
Bala-G: (About to pull his last remaining hair ... from his head)
Balika-G: Peace to all... and yaa ....eod ;-)

Who is the boss?

Actually I make it a point to write something, atleast something once a month. However past 2-3 months have been really bad with long hours, some touring and lack of interest to write...

But some days weird thoughts cross your mind... Today I thought of comparing "A Boss" to "A Wife".

Disclaimers: I have minimal/negligible/absolutely No personal experience of the above. All views are attributed to the powers of observation bestowed upon me by God. All views are penned down as an unbiased external observer. :-P

SIMILARITIES BETWEEN A BOSS AND A WIFE:

- Both get angry when you are late
- Both have a wrong timing of entry
- Both set deadlines for you
- Both like to delegate work to you
- Both generally have no idea what is happening around them
- Both love more money in their hands than they get
- Both point out your mistakes
- Both convince you at the end of the day
- Both can give you at max 30 minutes in the day
- Both help in improving your listening skills
- Both ensure you look a dumb ass in front of them!
