DLF IPL......The mother of all paradoxical situations!

6.30 PM: Watching IPL match - Royal Challengers-Bengaluru vs Mumbai Indians at a cousin's place

6.40 PM: My baby sister(cousin/not so own..lol) tries to snatch the TV remote to change the channel

6.41 PM: My brother(own!) screams loud enough to shoo her off

6.43 PM: Dejected cousin asks, "which team is ours?"

6.45 PM: My brother gives a what-the-hell look and grins," Bengaluru".

6.46 PM: My sister further says "red or bleau?(concentrate on phonics please):-)"

6.47 PM: RCB lost a wicket and my brother gives a all-because-of-u look and my sister picks her nose and very gently places the matter found on my brother's jeans{Eeeww i saw it;-( }and satisfies her fungal revenge!

6.48PM: My sister repeats her question, "red or bleau?", this time looking at my father and my father replies "Red chinna"..pulling her nose which gave her further irritation and she picked her nose again![matter not found...phew!]

6.49 PM: My sister says,"But, our(Indian) team is always in bleau"!She spots Sachin in bleau and after her enlightenment screams, "hey look look Sachinnn is wearing bleauuu..that is our team..".

6.50PM: Commercial going on and still nobody has bothered to explain the poor girl..{I am a culprit too...but heyyyy the match was at it's most exciting phase!!!!!}

6.52PM: My sister with that, "these fools dunno which team is ours" feel heads towards my aunt who was busy looking at the clock praying for the match to get over before her family drama soap!

6.53PM: Sister asks ma aunt," amma which team is ours?"
PS: My aunt has no own/not so own connection with IPL.

6.54PM: My aunt looking at her kid's restlessness, decides to put her thoughts as well as ours to rest by saying "BOTH!" waaaaaaaaa....

6.55PM: 

7.00PM: RCB wins!!!!I was elated but when I saw my aunt's face, I don't know why the hell I wished for a tie!!!!!!

Errrrrrrrg...Now, I dunno whether my aunt was innocent or ignorant!
All the bengaluru supporters who are die-hard fans of Sachin will know exactly what went through my head!

Tell me...

I am curious, tell me everything about thee, an open book I am, you may say I wonder, even an open book has shallow words, spilled rather carelessly, or done willfully I will never know, for you are the master of your secrets I am curious, to know the real thee, who are we really without these secrets? a bunch of lies? you may ask the whys and wherefores  or even dismiss my quest, none of my business you see business is what I bleed at! after devouring everything that you have said, I still look beseechingly at thee, like I am gazing into the infinity of secrets, just to be free from the quest! Inversely, I sense you fighting too covering every chink in your armour to say nothing or to bare it all captivating they are, food for the soul too, you might even take them to your grave! I may say as I please, in fact, you are brave! yet, I beseech you, tell me your secrets I am curious It is because I care, I will consider and cover! I can play with the words,  but truth be told, I am just c

One Hairy Day....

One thing that has remained constant among the world humans under this lockdown (forced & self) is their involuntary quest for both introspection and extrospection. Whether we want it or not, life has boiled down to the bare essentials even for the fortunate ones. while we women fight for equal treatment as that of our male counterparts, nature has done its bit in making us realise that women and men are just a few levels of androgen apart. All thanks to the salons being shut. Some of us who are not that good at DIY techniques can give a complex to the males in the locked house with our bushy eyebrows, noticeable moustaches and a dash of beard. Among the thousands of forwards being forwarded during this lockdown, there was one such forward that resonated with my current feeling. So, I too mindlessly forwarded the same to the other groups without knowing there would be a backlash by a man! Yes, a man stating that, I shouldn't be engaging in gender discrimination.

Moral Flexibility;)

I really think "Moral flexibility" is one of the traits which need to be mentioned in my CV hereafter along with stuff like "Responsible", "Diligent", Blah blah.... My rules were very simple before I began working. You are bad- I am bad. You are good- I am very good (I get a little carried away ;-)). This was morality to me in its simplest form. It happened so that I applied for leave last week and I had mentioned the dates denoting my leave of absence(it summed up to a week including 2 Sundays and a Saturday). But, (The volatile rules of English allows the usage of conjunctions in the beginning of the sentences provided the strong requirement of the same is justifiable and this one surely is) my boss who is so used to me not applying for leave didn't happen to see the dates and he assumed that I am only going for 3 days alike most of them in my office who are all localities, damn it. Therefore, my leave was approved! Actually only my leave was appr
