Ignorance is Bliss - II

Filed under: Life as I know it — Bindu @ 4:27 am

Have you ever seen a person who wants to have all kinda credit cards in his wallet? Well, I live with one. Recently, He saw one Barclays card ad and wanted to get one. Moi thought that a prank wud be too good on this. After all planning, called him on his office landline from my landline so that he won’t get my number.

Moi: A very Good Morning to you.
Hub: Good Morning!
Moi: am calling from so and so company. Are you interested in buying Barclay’s executive platinum card?
Hub: actually, am more interested in you than your card. ;)
Moi: !!!!
Hub: Indha kenai voice enakku theriyaadha. (can’t I recognize ur voice?)

Ignorance is Bliss - I

Hubby and I are planning for a laptop for decent use and hence this sunday we went to the Croma shop to look out for laptops and their price range.

I was casually looking at the configuration of each and every laptop when a salesman there came over to me with all smiles.

SM: Mam, would you like any help?
Bindu: Hmm, I don’t see any macbook in here. Don’t you sell them? (I was not keen on getting help as we didn’t want to buy one in haste. So, I tried a very casual question at him).
SM: Sorry Mam. No books sold here. Only electronic items.
Bindu: !!!!

Hubby had to intervene and explain to him that macbook is a kinda laptop sold by Apple. Needless to say that I didn’t get any help from that SM after that :)

Too long a gap

Filed under: Life as I know it — Bindu @ 8:59 am

Sometimes, when we have a trying situation at hand, the tide comes down heavy on us and makes it even more worse.

Well the current situation may not be as trying for you, but not being able to even access blog sites is a pathetic situation for me. Be it wordpress, flickr, blogger or any other useful* site, everything has been blocked by one so-nice web-sense blocker at workspace.

And what does that leave me with? I have material to post atleast 20 posts but don’t know what to post first. Has anyone ever had the same situation? On the other hand, do people here miss me? I know that I am not visiting your blogs these days. I would be grateful if you could add my email address in your blog subscription and send the post content to me. As for this post, I asked a fellow friend to forward this post of mine to wordpress. How nice of him.

Will post more …

After a hard day at work ..

These days, its becoming so difficult to find real time for time pass. Friends have started asking me, “Girl, how do you manage to live without a tv?”. And I am replying, “How do you girls manage to watch tv with all the work?”. Whatever it is, it sure feels like Time is flying. As if this is not enough, the sweet Government now comes and asks us to work for 12 hours a day. And, companies are contemplating to introduce 9 hours first and then kill us little by little.

Dear Government, Do you know that an average bangalorean spends atleast 3 hours a day in traffic? Forget your white collar-ed MPs and mantris. They always travel by private jets or helicopters and put in an airport at a place so that people can shell out 200 bucks to just reach the local airport. So, if we put 12 hours at work, 3 hours in traffic and that leaves us with just 9 more hours. Let me say I put in 7 hours sleep. Does it mean that I get only two more hours for home(which includes cooking, cleaning, mopping and tending to people at home?). Then what about self? Holy moly!! I really think that P.C needs to have one screw tightened.

Anyway, after all the hard work at office, I thought I will make broccoli and baby corn rice. An one hour search in all kinda @fresh stores, didn’t get me that. Managed to salvage the recipe with humble beans. Thought I will post the recipe as well.

The three muskeeters - II

Filed under: Life as I know it — Bindu @ 12:32 pm

Refer Part 1.

Have been noticing some sudden developments in their lives now. The career oriented girl has put papers in the company and is quitting on 29th. No, she hasn’t got a job. She is just pissed of with the current job. I guess she will find an exciting job soon.

The family girl has got her visa initiated by her DM. She hopes that she won’t get an onsite opportunity and requests DM to consider. DM says that visa initiation is just a formality and it doesn’t mean onsite opportunity.

The moderator’s husband has already left for US. Moderator is slogging over a business proposal now.

Truth seems to be stranger than fiction.Isn’t it? I wish they all live happily sometime soon.

Insanity of the crowd!!

Filed under: When I get wild — Bindu @ 5:06 am

These days am getting atleast 3 comments per day for this post. It all started with a harmless query of mine. I wanted to find out how to get hello tunes song in my mobile and one of my friends helped out. But who ever said that I will deliver hello tunes to all the brothers and sisters in the world? People who land up in the site don’t even read the post. They just check out all the previous comments (people requesting me for hello tunes) and put in their requests also. I appreciate their earnest will to get something. But shouldn’t they be seeking that in the place where it can be found?

So for all of you fellow men and women, if you still want me to go ahead and get music for you, please note the following also.

1) I would charge double the amount.

2) And I would sell your email address to every medical provider in US who guarantees everything big.

Appa!! am glad that I vented out.
