13 years back I knew I would need help coming up with posts. So proud of the 13 year back self. Saved me from a post today!

 Here's something I came across while at my parent's house last week. Please make sure to sing along with the tune. That's when it is fun!



Hey! Jingle bells. jingle bells!

Cheers!

    Ive now discovered quite a few things about you:-

    1) You have/once had a nice calligraphic handwriting
    2) You're great at illustrations - the uncles' faces are really wicked :p
    3) You really must love Christmas Carols...but because I'm a catholic, parodying Jingle Bells is like blasphemy....ghor paap!!!! :p
    4) Now I know your real name, so I'm gonna stalk you on FB ;)

    P.S. - Lucky you...you found stuff from the past and could post it as a "O" writeup...cheater kahin ki!!!

    On a serious note, do you have any extra stuff? I'm outta ideas...please haaalp!

    Hahaa, adorable!

    The line about shampoo reminded me of this time in a crowded local when a lady who had her freshly-washed-with-selson-shampoo hair in my nose. Ugh. Also, there must be a law against people who use Anne French before a bus or train ride, which involves standing and holding the hanging things on top.

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether. But then, on reflection, I thought I owed this one to the unseen forces above. Hence, this post!

The Truant Family!

The low hanging trees were always in demand. As Raji rushed for the nearest one, with her little brother in her tow, she cast a quick glance at the tree to survey the bounty. It was laden with fresh guavas, alright! Pumped, she put her foot on the lowest branch and pulled herself up. Raji had barely put her foot on the next branch, when she felt a tug on her skirt. Feeling a nudge of irritation, she peered down at her four year old brother. "What is it, Appu?" "Where's my guava?" he demanded. "Will you at least wait while I climb up?"

She looked around for the nearest ripe guava and hurled it before Appu could speak.She heard his chuckles of delight as he dug into large juicy bites. That settled, she ensconced in a comfortable branch, and began her feast of the large, ripe guavas. S...

The Art of .. Shhhh. Hang on, I Just Heard Something!

Here's the deal. Eavesdropping, if anything, in my humble opinion, is an Art. Before you judge me (Judging people is also an art. Another post.), have you ever noticed this section of the population, intently focused on your conversations, staring at you, especially in Public transport, dying to catch on to every word you utter, and making it blatantly obvious that they are, well, interested? They are precisely the reason why eavesdropping qualifies into the Art category. It's these immature people who make Pros like me cringe in my comfortable corner. Hence this post, where, you "Watch and Learn", the ART of eavesdropping. Lesson #1 - Act Uninterested Do not make it obvious that you are interested. Take a deep breath, let go of yourself, relax, and sit in a comfortable position. If available, a prop would be good (Explained in Lesson #2). Now, very casually, try to grasp the basics of the conversation. It will take a few minutes, but it will happen. Getting the drift...
