Have you ever experienced weightlessness? Why? No? Hasn't your boss stayed out of office? Now, doesn't that equal weightlessness? Bosslessness = Weightlessness? Some other choices that can be used, could range from boundlessness, blamelessness and a host of other bright, but not-so-long-lasting possibilities!
Thank God for India being a practicing democracy, else I'd be bitterly clobbered for my seemingly spiteful vocals about co-existing with a Black-tailed, wide-eyed Racoon, a pink Polar Bear, a thoroughly perverted Jerry Mouse, a quick flashy Blue Fox, a photochromatic-eyed Crocodile, a lousy Crow, two Rabbits and a Bush Baby!
Point made for a Monday morning, it seems! Now, can you even remotely imagine how difficult it is to be me?
I'm sure a number of you, being good natured, fun loving comrades, will appreciate me for my wry sense of comparison and humorous spontaneity here. For those of you who may not, I suggest empathy! Condolences are welcome too! ;)
Jokes apart, I'm not sure if I told you how stressed I am lately! It is not often, after all, that your folks make you a marketable product for advertisement on a matrimonial site, is it? Has anyone of you been on display lately?
Never mind the state of stressfulness, I made sure that my worst picture (ever) was sent out to the webmaster for display on the site! And, I've made a mental note to send the same picture to many more, webmasters and compatible products - both!
Now, that doesn't end the story there, especially if Lion King (call sign for His Excellency the Pop) calls up with a few dozen folio numbers, (IDs of prospective suitors; pardon the poor man, whose life has been submerged in business for over 4 decades now, as a result of which he may not appear to articulate much distinction between products and people), and calmly insists that I 'check them out and report back!'
Mumsical (meaning Mother's whimsical) murmurs of me 'not-being-up-to-it to find someone', is an apparent contradiction of parent hood, for if I were to oddly surprise her with an emphatic yes, I'd be sure of meeting up with more oohs and aahs in a single conversation, than what I've been subjected to in a lifetime, collectively! So, avoiding misadventures is prudence!
And, as if all that wasn't already enough, my team - the most wonderful people that I've ever known, (that's a gross exaggeration people, the worst ever, I can assure), suggested an epitaph phrase for me (when occasion comes) to read "Thank You Dear God," to which, Nimmu, my other brother, was quick to add "At last."
If not for good natured humor, our lives would've been hideously dreary and uninteresting, don't you agree?
Now, as we embark upon a journey of sorts (that's precisely what a working week is, right?), I'll leave you some interesting information that, I'm sure, will bring cheer and insight. Firstly, its been ten years since the first Blogger blogs appeared. Read more about it here and also here. Secondly, fellow-blogger Sumit Singla has made perhaps one of the most interesting presentations that I've seen lately! Do take a look here and make sure you vote for it too!
Have a great week ahead, all of you!

ReplyDeleteAs for this post, may be all those episodes are over for me...I feel senseless since the day I got married and weightless since the day i left my regular job...
Anyway, best wishes...in all your pursuits! :)
Get me some good news fast...last year you said within a year..that was in November or December, i guess...

devika
My most heart felt condolences- on having to start monday with all those cartoon characters, and also for becoming a prospective groom. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy wishes bro. hope that day will delight throughout your life. Weightlessness comes when we’re under no resistance, and I enjoy being weightlessness, and I feel it more while going through thoughts like a leaf floating in air to fall somewhere it never knows.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogging :)
ReplyDeleteoh mate.. that sure took off some burden of a Monday... :)
ReplyDeleteLife would be so really dreadful sans the 'humor'..

ReplyDeleteWhen you have one problem, you make it small by getting in to another bigger one!! After a couple of years you won't even think about the problems in your work place, don't worry!! :-D
