Huh!?

Two girls sitting on a wall and talking…

“You know this exam thing is a real nuisance.”

“Wish they do without the darn exercise once and for all.”

In joins a third

“But if we don’t get graded we fail to get noticed in class.”

Fourth pips in

“Look at that guy there, he looks so cute.”

Exams are now a thing of the past. The new kid on the block is eye candy.

“Ooooo he’s so cute!”

“When did he join our school?”

“Gosh I wish I can talk to him, but I’m really scared.”

“No way, I’m gonna talk first.”

“No me”

“No way! Me”

“Me.”

“Me.”

“Hi girls heard the noise what’s the problem?”

Silence…

“I’m Jerry and my family just moved over. Can I join you?”

“Of course!”

So he hops over and joins them.

“Hey do you know Steve? Such a cutie.”

They look at one another ….

Another one bites the dust. When will this gay craze get over they sigh.

So back to the old routine…

“Algebra is so annoying. I just don’t get it.”

“I loathe chemistry!”

“History seems way better and the teacher is cool.”

“But … Steve…”

“Listen dude, we need to get our scores in order. If you wanna join us then stop with all the fantasy.”

“Huh?”

“We get it dude, we aren’t stupid!”

“Huh?”

“We know you are like gay and all that, ok.”

“What? No way! Stephanie aka Steve is that cutie who sits next to you guys in class. Can you give me her number before the other guys get it? I came over to get it from you… You do know her don’t you?”

“Huh!”



Xoxo me lovelies....

Grammatically Incorrect

In the context of grammar and all that it has to offer, there are a number of us who snigger at someone just because the person’s sentence construction does not meet the cut. Believe me I face flak by many who perceive my phrasing to be verbose. Can blame it on the potholes of my ever so dusty construct of verbs, adjectives, phrasing, simple past, past imperfect, present continuous and so on and so forth! But I try and do all that I can with a never say never attitude. Some may say that I speak better than I write or the other way round and some wonder why I bore them with this long-windiness. Anyway, in time I hope I can join upper end club of the grammatically correct! I now move along to the context of Indianized idioms that are so part and parcel of our heritage. The merry mix of angrez infused with desi tones can make the high end club feel a trifle nauseated. As for me, I am pretty proud of some of the terminologies and guffaw at them heartily. The construction of ‘we are lik...

Well.... Hung

My friends are at it again - bugging me to tie the knot (noose I argue). I keep on about how I don’t want to get hitched. Here are some of the constant suggestions that I am forced to deal with on a daily basis and my rejoinders… • Look at how happy we are. Happy is as happy does (my response) • Skepticism is not going to get you anywhere you know. So who wants to? • There is this friend of a friend. Yawn! • One bad apple doesn’t spoil the whole bunch. Who said anything about fruit! • You know what we mean! Yeah I suppose but seriously I ain’t looking. • That’s what we are here for then! Thanks. But there is something else we can talk about. Why the same old? • Talking about old, you aren’t getting any younger. So, who cares! • Don’t you want to grow old with someone? For him to tell me that I ain’t getting younger, huh? • What’s with you? Don’t you know we want you to be happy? Who said I’m not? • Now listen carefully we aren’t giving up so don’t ...

Deliciousness

When it is mango season practically everyone indulges. The vendors with their carts, fruit shops, malls, multi-specialty stores are laden with the finest. Seasoned folk make a beeline to get their money’s worth. You can bet that if you are stashed you will have your cart filled faster than the speed of light. When we were kids, the house was filled with baskets of the lovely fruit. We chomped away and licked the juice that dripped down to the elbows, moving on to the next. There was no reason why we couldn’t have more than one after lunch, dinner, and breakfast, tea, anytime! Today, the prices of mangoes have skyrocketed and vendors refuse to budge; we have no choice but to pay the price and give into this yearly greed. At this point of time, not many us really concern ourselves with the additional pounds and dive in. Why cut back on the goodness of nature! I diet (uh uh) and exercise (some) for the rest of the year, which hardly provides me with the figure I yearn for, but I keep on...

The Quiet Kid

The Scene – School The Target : Quiet shy girl The Reason : Bored Why her? Why not her? This was the directive given to a group of girls who were feeling the pressure at school with low grades, acne, peer pressure, dieting, problems at home, boyfriend problems, hormones, etc. They wanted to shift their attention to something interesting that was out of their routine. “Look over there at Sally she looks really weird today doesn’t she?” said Martha. “Why she looks rather radiant and I don’t like that. What could be the reason I wonder?” exclaimed Maryann angrily. She thought she was the pretty one and Sally was looking way too good for comfort. “What say we go there and annoy her a bit,” said Cynthia. “Yeah lets. It is getting way too boring here and with the tests around the corner. She is always so with it - her high scores and all” said Tina. So they walked across to Sally and questioned her about what she was reading. “Whatcha reading Sally?” asked the gir...
