Bad picture quality.... But makes sense!

Side effects of bulbing!

If you are a normal human being then what does bulb mean to you?

"Source of artificial light that works by incandescence"

If you are a biologist?

"Underground vertical shoot that has modified leaves used as food storage organs"

Enough of knowledge transfer from wiki to blogspot. Coming to the point- what would a bulb mean to you if you are from IIT Madras?

"Hmmm.. Ahem... Grr.... Well, it has become so much a part of my language that I cant find the definition in English :D. Let me try. It would be a person like me who cannot grasp obvious things fast which results in late realizations"

Note: That does not tell anything about my grasping power, intelligence or speed. It can be thought of as a side effect of high grasping power, intelligence bla bla bla which leads to such a symptom when all these great attributes take a nap. :) [ Ah ! I love that explanation]

So now I am going to give you an example of side effect of a side effect :D

I got a new Sony Ericson 810i mobile with my bonus. Don't be under the assumption that my bonus= price of the mobile.
Reasons:

1. Bonus amount is supposed to be confidential. Even if you are assuming something please please please forget it! I am not supposed to reveal something here.
2. Mobile prices are very dynamic now a days. That gives me some relief. :) Now I can keep the month of bonus to myself :D in case you are very interested and find out the price of the mobile in that month. OK I hear that. You said something like "What nonsense!". Cool then I happily move on.

I spend some days with earphones adorning my ears all the time. Then I shift to the other functionality. Yes, the camera. I become self obsessed and click away pics to glory. And then comes the time to flaunt all those pics.

[Before I go to the feedback section, some background required. I am obsessed with one more thing in life. The beautiful emoticons that various IM services provide. I love them and I call all of them smileys irrespective of what they emote. Someone sometime back told me that using emoticons in official conversations is considered as "unprofessional". ]

Feedback: This is where you will have the fun of side effects.


Mr XYZ ( On a professional conversation) : So when do we get to discuss the next steps?


Miss Goda ( In not so professional mood) : Let us think together and discuss the same on monday face to face :)


Mr XYZ : Ok That sounds good.


Mr XYZ again ( On shifting to a not so professional conversation which I bulbed to notice!) : Your display pic looks good. BTW > you need not put smileys.


Miss Goda ( Bulbing) : Oh I am sorry. You dont like smileys? ( Cursing herself for performing an unprofessional act!)


Mr XYZ ( Giving up on her heights of bulbing and the forcing situation to explain ): I meant your display pic itself is like a smiley.

Miss Goda ( Realizing that she bulbed) : Oh Thanks. [ Subconsciously :-|]


Ok Ok. Had a loud hearty laugh? Fine. It happens. Especially when you are not used to getting frequent compliments. :D

The side effect of it all is you feel "Oh shit!" even after getting a compliment.

Koi Nahi Mila

Random Thought #2

Thought : You should marry when you get pimples to marry off children when you get wrinkles.

Explanation: Not required

Reason : Tried to give a thought to mother's advice. :D

Proofless!

As we grow up we have to face the Government offices again and again to escape identity crisis. It all goes in a circle. You need an address proof to get a passport and instructions read - You can submit your DL, Ration card, Voter's ID . To get a DL you need an address proof again which says- You can submit Passport,Ration card and Voter's ID and I am sure you don't want me to repeat it for the Voter's ID.( Why such a craze for address proof in a country where many are homeless ?)

*Sigh* My family does not have a ration card and I am caught in this vicious circle not knowing where to start!

I started off with a Bank Passbook ( Thanks to my father who told it can be used) and can you believe it? I still do the rotations and revolutions in various Government offices like planet earth with the same passbook :(.

I have this famous track record of never getting the work done the first time at any Govt office. I am sure it is not a great record because there will be thousands like me ( Forgot the greater numbers taught at school:D).

1. Passport- the file goes missing and delivery of the passport is delayed by 2 months!I get it for my hostel address where I live only for an year and after that again I am address proofless!
   
2. Driving License-I fail the LL test when I go personally :( but pass the DL test directly second time when I go through a driving agency. Again for a temporary address I don't live in now :(.
   
3. Voter's ID- Power cut when my photo has to be taken and on another day I get a Voter's ID with the wrong address ( I am destined not to have an address proof) which needs to be corrected in the second round where my photo will be taken again. Aah I feel like a model :D.
4. PAN card- For some strange reason they don't print address on the card :(.
   

God gave me a beautiful home, but I need to keep proving to everyone :(. I would like to thank Ammembal Subbarao Pai. Wondering who that is? He is the founder of Canara Bank in which I have the account that has been with me through all these ups and downs.

Mother's day

Second Sunday of May is the day to honor all the mother's in the world. Thats today! Wow. I did not remember it till I got my brush in the hand to clean up my teeth today. I got out of slumber suddenly and the bulb lit up.

I immediately rushed through rest of the process and went up to my mother and tried to be cute saying -"Happy Mother's day, Mummy" and then I could see tears of happiness in her eyes and it got all mushy. She hugged me tight and kissed me [:-*]. Damn! My teacher told me in school I should stop day dreaming. Well, all those things in Italics was my day dream. She said - " Stop calling me Mummy. It means dead-body!" [:O]

Ok now I said "Happy Mother's day Amma" in our own sweet native language and asked her
-" So what do you want for Mother's day? Shall I buy you a new mobile?" OK, may be my dream would come true now[:)] She said
-" Why cant you show all this love daily? Should someone somewhere in the world declare publicly when you should love your mom?"

That makes sense. I have learnt a lesson today.

There is no special day to say "I love you" and express it. Do it everyday like you brush your teeth. And the result would be great - A heartfelt Colgate smile [:D]

(Wait a sec! Was that Pepsodent? I never observe it you know. I am always sleepy when I brush and I don't buy stuff for home. Me the Lazy bum!)
