Much Ado About Something

First of all while reading this please remember that this is a tongue in cheek piece, take it lightly. I mean no disrespect just plain old fashioned humor trying to decipher what makes a man tick…pick…get slick… you get the pic! May write more on this later if I get more research and will throw more light – I promise! I remember hearing this a while back – shorter skirt better view. Now with practically everyone showing off cleavage, men certainly are a happy lot. They believe that they are “well within the limit” while they ogle. But if anyone happens to eyeball their wives, girlfriends, mothers, relatives… beware - fist of fury! I recall a funny incident when this guy walked up to a shapely girl at a party. He went up to her with a standard pick up line only to come face to face with his cousin! In all fairness he only caught a glimpse of her posterior. He was at first embarrassed and then shocked that she was out partying in a lounge bar at night. It was just 10! No doubt th...

I was having an animated discussion with a group of opinionated people sometime ago and went on an endorsement frenzy advocating Botox. Just to give it a spin, I drove on the fact that once the creases are apparent I would scurry across to a well equipped facility and iron away the wrinkles. “How can you be so stupid” exclaimed one. “Why would you think of something so frightening” said another. “Are you so vain that you would do anything to get rid of the tell tale signs of ageing?” blasted the third. “This is a part of life you know.” This went on for quite a while and after they had their say, I had a good chuckle. “No, I wouldn’t want to go that route guys, not my scene,” I drawled but teasingly brought on the “But one never knows….” I can swear that at this point of time I was due for a clout but made my way out citing that I go by instinct. Actually, I was bored and this conversation (I knew) would ruffle their feathers so I started it just for a good round of sens...

Looking up at her mother Sally cried “Mom, the entire class wants to boycott me from entering school. They have been saying such awful things about me throughout the year. I have just received mails in my account from every single student in class saying the worst possible things possible. Why are they doing this to me Ma? I stay out of their way but still…. Am I so ugly that nobody wants to be my friend?” Hugging her daughter Trish kept consoling her. But Sally was a mess. She was shaking and the tears just kept rolling down. Holding on tightly to her mother she kept repeating “Why mom?” “Sally, sweetheart there is nothing wrong with you at all. But in life we come across people who enjoy picking on someone. They bully people because of a chip on their shoulders. I will come over to school tomorrow …” “No Mom. Please no. They will make my life even worse than it is. Please don’t. Promise me you won’t.” “Hush honey. Come let us go down for dinner and catch a good nig...

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...

The cougar has made an appearance in the vicinity. I couldn’t care less what anyone else does or who they do, but this individual is so in our faces with her nosiness that I have awarded her the honor. Can hear mum in the background saying ‘why do you wanna think such lousy thoughts maybe it was just an innocent drive’. Can’t help it mom! The meandering thoughts bring forth good old fashioned banter! Not so long ago, there was a letter peeking out of my postbox that I discovered late in the evening. The contents were from an admirer whose English was so pathetic I had to reread the crap a number of times to actually understand the matter. The sentence construction was so pathetic. First reaction was wtf, the second wtf a million times. Threw the contents into their compound with ‘spam’ highlighted and blasted the individual. To settle the issue he wanted to shake hands and start afresh! Afresh??? I didn’t even know or want to know the jerk! Imagine if it had debris (see t...

There was a man who climbed the highest building in his city with the idea of ending his life. When he was about to take a dive, sanity took over and he decided to try another day… and another and another. He’s well into his 70’s now! In short, he dealt with his problems head-on and ignored the horrid voice inside egging him to do the deed. The evil one entices us to explore horizons that we would never dream of. When we listen to the incorrect voice and embark on this journey, we are headed downhill. It is better in our long run to walk the right path and ignore the voice that seduces us to “just give it a try”. This is the beginning of the end. If in doubt, just call on the Lord. He will help you along the way. Never feel embarrassed or shy to call on Jesus, He is the way the truth and the life. God bless.

Television viewing last night with the sibling proved to be real torture for her. She wanted to watch something on the good old box but ended up watching Koffee with Karan with yours truly. She is no fan of Aishwarya and had to sit through the entire episode for an hour. Poor thing… I had the remote! Also with me liking the actress, she let me have my time (and didn’t criticize her). Guess November does bring on the good mood with the older sis. Hope this carries on throughout the year though! Ha ha ha. The last week went by so darn fast and before we knew it - back in the grind slogging our butts off to earn our keep. Talking about ‘keep’ - many people were crying themselves hoarse criticizing the title allotted to ‘the other woman’. Sure it does appear derogatory. But it is far worse hooking up with a married man. It would be better to latch onto someone single rather than another lady's happy ever after. What say me lovelies? On my jaunt this morning came across t...
