The universe conspires in many ways to show me that I am turning old... one of the ways being, me not remembering people I interact with, online. Sometime back when I received “hey there” pop up from a not-so-familiar id, so instead of raking my brains I just thought of playing along and finding out who that person was, during the course of our conversation … (yes I am not proud of my failing memory)…
Or could it be just the fact that I am exceptionally good at weeding out everything (or everyone) from my memory that I don’t like … keeping the space vacant for better things / people. (Small brain..less space you see)
22nd April 08

"Much" ado about nothing...
Moves. gyrates. skin. Salim-Anarkali. 31st mile.'Make-shift astrologer'...Too full-on for a good taste.
Amusement, nevertheless!
And you still wish to discover who he was ? ;)
Maintain a diary Bridget dear :P
@ Sane Insane - My weirdo attracting magnetism...remember??
@ Mez - Some certified test once told me "Curiosity" is the core of my personality, it is what drives me. So now tell me, can u blame me for wondering who he was??
@Che - I thought this blog counts as a diary of sorts..... Doesnt it????
Woo the hoo! Another in the series!
By the way, I've lost count of the number of times I've seen this: Small brain..less space you see on your blog.
What gyrates you? dough or skin?
Your origins notwithstanding, does that work anywhere in the world?
And he seemed like a nice guy, Gina! He had his grammar straight. For most of the time, anyway...
@ Jhayu - Well cliches arent always exaggerated u see (So my saying "small brain...less space" countless number of times doesnt make it any less true or less relevant, sweetheart :P)
And no i dont know any place in the world where this (dough or skin thing) works!!!
Nice guy?? ummm.... i suggest hold that verdict a bit and watch this space for more.
This was a fun read. The guy seemed a bit psycho to me - may be he is stalking you. Re: emails/ convos from matrimonial portals, a friend of mine sends me all the weird emails she gets on Bharat Matrimony and I always have a hearty laugh, both at the angle of approach and the grammar and spelling used in the emails! I think there is excellent business potential in starting a web-based proof-reading service for shaadi.com and the like :)
Maybe your soulmate in disguise!
was this a story, this conversation?
@ Idling - wot say? we start the site??
@ Solitaire - :) yeah sure!
@ Burf - Well i know without context this seems like just another random conversation.... only if you wait and watch...
dat was interesting!! so did d stranger ping u again?
@ Gunj - Take a guess :P
hmm, now i am curious, hell!
@ Burf - Patience my dear, patience!!
He seems interesting!
@ Bubbly Vodka - Interesting? hmmmm ...and this was only the start :P
By the way, if you find this interesting I think you should read the other Amusement calling posts too... good dose of entertainment there! :P
Aw well this is too ahem PG13ish diary to be much fun.....look at my blog....i bore people to death with details :P
haha I read some dozen dating humour posts of yours. Some good samples you got to interact with! ;-)
I think I'm going to get myself a matrimonial site id to kill boredom if nothing else.
But I think guys don't get as many responses as girls isn't it?
@ Che - PG13ish diary?? Really? What exactly in the posts made u feel that? :P
@ Stupidosaur - At least these interactions serve some purpose... making people like you and me smile (Me less , you more)
And abt the id...ummm.. i say why not.. get one and surprise the tortured souls like me with the most unexpected things like correct grammar, no silly jokes, no faking intelligence etc etc... u get the drift, dnt u?
where did my comment go!!!
31 in march 2009, that could be me, but its not :)
coz we just met, at my place, and i just dropped in to say 'hi' :)
*hmmm. well dont wish to get annoyed by teenager ways. Thats all*
ahem...excuse me..!!?? :o :d
*people say women stop aging for abt 8 years when they turn 30…*
does that mean you are 38?? coz you just turned 31..!!! :P
...
whats the mystery all about..?? :D
Yeah I sure will, you have some hilarious posts there!
@ Manuscrypt - If you are sure, i mean absolutely sure (at least for me, at 31, memory isnt best of my friends anymore, you see) you are not him, you can continue reading.... else i advise against it .. for your own good :P
Thanks for dropping by!
@ Zubin - I knew u are young, but a teenager?? :O
And for the record, i said "dont wish to get annoyed by teenager ways" and not teenagers themselves.... if you know what i mean!
*people say women stop aging for abt 8 years when they turn 30…*
does that mean you are 38?? coz you just turned 31..!!! :P
No, my teenager reader, it just means that i will still be 30 when i turn 38 :P
And about the mystery, you would have to figure that out for yourself... (I think if you look closely enough you can, there's a clue here but everyone seems to have missed it)
@ Bubbly vodka - Glad that you enjoyed the posts :)
//get one and surprise the tortured souls like me with the most unexpected things like correct grammar, no silly jokes, no faking intelligence etc etc
Why no "faking intelligence"?
Isn't artificial intelligence the next-big-thing?
(see I already indulged in the next strict no-no of yours: silly jokes)
(And I wonder if beginning a sentence with 'and' (like this one) and using brackets within brackets (like these and the previous ones) and making inpromptu hyphenated words above is bad grammar)
See I seem to have indulged in all your pet peeves ;). Fir bhi blogroll karna ho toh apun ko kya wandha? kar dalo beedu!
(Wait is usage of tapori type hindi language in roman script another of your pet peeves? ;))
(Please note, the below sentence is for your soul, not you:
I will stop torturing you now and exit!!!! :)
)
Reminding you of the context, just in case....
////get one and surprise the tortured souls....
See thats why they call me the Little RANTING Reptile. Cant stop
well...I am not a teenager..:D
but whats wrong in behaving like one...once in a while.. :p..
hmm..lemme read again..and again... :D
*No, my teenager reader, it just means that i will still be 30 when i turn 38 :P*
Oh great..!! sorry for my miscalculation...
That means 31=39..?? :o
:P :P
@ Stupidosaur - LOL...
Rant as much as you can... i love it :)
@ Zubin - Maybe its one of those moments when you decide to behave like a teenager ....
Oh great..!! sorry for my miscalculation...
That means 31=39..?? :o
:P :P
Let me explain the nuances here (Its difficult to understand i know, but not-giving-up-on-my-faith-in-people is what defines me)
You see, 1 year over 30... still honest (and me being a victim of this trait more than the others), so no qualms about declaring 31 NOW .... but as the years get added, the honesty gets displaced by vanity...hence the retreat to the number "30"
Samjhe teenager?? :P
Wondering why you didnt say anything about my response to the whole mystery aspect... still scratching your head or looking closely for clues as i said?
