Blurry Vision

Went for an eye checkup today and got caught by a fellow-Havyaka. He very enthusiastically started off with P but once he came to know that he didn't belong, I could see him a bit deflated. Nevertheless we exchanged minimum details and I resisted telling him about my uncles, though I have a hunch he knows all of them.

My uncle has been forwarding me many propaganda messages of late, mostly exhorting me to assert my Hinduness and vote it right in 2019. I have ignored them so far but today he sent me one about India's WB loans and 56 inch chest and I got frustrated. I replied to him that it was fake news. He hasn't responded yet. Sometimes it all seems surreal; that such brazenly fake messages exist, that my uncle whom I idolized in childhood and still admire for some things should get those messages, that he doesn't even care to check their veracity before forwarding them to me and that he thinks that I won't bother to check either. 

Baked!

I am bitten again by the binge-cooking bug and it seems to be an annual thing. It's only when the night hits me and I hit the bed that tiredness engulfs me. 

Eyebrow Raisers

I attended a training session today. I entered the training room and this HR guy, the trainer, looked at me, raised his eyebrows, smiled and muttered, "Interesting!". What did he mean!?

My cousin who lives in my native village had bought himself a wife after a lot of efforts. Now three years and a toddler later, she wanted a divorce from him to marry somebody else. It's one of its kind in that place and she had even told them that the child's father was not my cousin. But last week she flip-flopped and said she wanted to stay back and mend the matters and that she was lying about the child. I don't know how it will conclude. The child and her may have a tough time in either case.

Perceptions

I was going through a training mail and Anu, who was glancing, caught a glimpse of Python. She was perplexed. "Why do they have such scary sounding names, Aayi? Wouldn't people be better inclined to learn them if they had more attractive names?", she said. I think I can go with that.

Performance-improvement changes are one of the most rewarding. We had a transaction which was quite slow and I made the changes and passed them on to the onsite guy for testing. He came back alarmed, "Now it's not even taking a second, did I do something wrong?". Happy moment!

India it seems is the worst for women. I thought we were improving.

Saying it Right

I think 'lions' is one of the most abused words in India. People, all men in my experience, can never figure that if they exchange the vowels in it, it means much different. If the person in front doesn't have much place to squirm, it's tougher.

I'm afraid I didn't find much lust in Lust Stories. Did I get the meaning wrong?

Smitten

There has never been anyone more charming in this whole world than Omar Sharif. I swear!

Soulless

I really don't like people who write condolence message like "May his sole rest in peace!" and stuff. Even when people right before them have mentioned soul. Atrocious, insensitive!

My parents are going to my father's place for my cousin's wedding, which is next month. So for the next twenty days or so, I'll feel as if they aren't my parents. I mean, both will be busy to the bone and my mother will be working like crazy and I don't even feel like calling them, lest I waste some precious minutes of theirs. So I just wait for them to call me. I don't like it.
