Are you Old?

-
Conversation between a mom and a child after a day at school goes like this....

M: Did you show the poster to the teachers?
C: No, I forgot.
M: How can you forget something that we spent a lot of time doing last night?
C: Well, i just forgot.
M: Do you know- only old people forget things that happened so recently? Are you old?
C: No, i m N.E.W
M:What?
C: I am not Old, I m NEW.

M rolls her eyes and chuckles.

Misleading piece of furniture

It is interesting to think about how the silliest of things go unnoticed by homo-sapiens. The “eat-out’ in my office is one of the quickly-filled spots during the noon hours between 12 - 2. Due to the scarcity of seats( which are essential in order to sit and have food comfortably and also do the most important task of Time Pass ), me and my gang decided to go at 12:30 instead of our usual 1:30. We were bewildered to find the same amount of crowd, which made us realize that, everyone in the building, chose to come a little earlier hoping to find a peaceful place to feed themselves. Well, we did not get lucky in our venture, but then something ironical hit me while we were busy with the mechanical effort of feeding food into our body. Every human in the building were entering the canteen from one door and to my surprise the door was labeled “ EXIT ”. It was funny realizing that no one, including me, never managed to notice the purpose of the door which we normally pass through. Come t...

Daughter and S.T.O.R.A.G.E

-
I remember those initial days which I had spent in my first company. I had no clue that a bachelors degree in engineering could land me in one of the hottest domains in the IT industry. My dad, who is a master degree holder in Economics, and my mom, who chose to provide service to her fellow human beings on earth, by practicing as a doctor, had absolutely no clue either. Since I knew that it would be difficult for me to explain the concept of ‘domain’ in the IT field and to let them know exactly how I serve my employer with the level of knowledge I have, I did not bother revealing the exact nature of my work. Instead I conveniently chose to inform them that my work revolves around S.T.O.R.A.G.E (which was the name of the domain I was in). When I went to pay them a visit, a few months later, i came to realize that I had made a terrible mistake. Our relatives and family friends seemed to know everything regarding my work! After the initial round of “vishesham parachil”, like we call it...

You think you are brand specific? Think again!

You think you are brand specific? Think again! We were in the York designer outlet and window shopping, when we observed a long queue at one store. In my country, you would think they were giving out free food & beverages, when you see a queue that long. The store was Ralph Lauren, one of the most popular clothes brand in the UK. There was a guy (like a bouncer), controlling 2 long queues, on either side of the shop. I used to think that bouncers only work in pubs/discs and was amazed to find one here. His primary role was to allow only a certain number of people into the shop, so that it doesn't get crowded and the customers can peacefully shop, while the rest of them in the queue patiently wait for their turn to get inside. When a good number of people leave the store after shopping, he opens the chain and lets in another set of people. I truly admired the patience of those staying in the queue for a long time, just to get into their favorite brand shop.  In India, wo...
