Status Compilation

This is going to be one very long post. So if you have any work at all, need not even be important, you can stop reading this now. That said, this is not a typical post. Actually I do not even know if I can call this one a post. But what the heck, this is my blog. I will call it whatever I want.

Ok. This post is a compilation of my statuses on fb. Lame, I know. But, yesterday I was looking at my timeline (again, very lame, I know) and I just went on scrolling and reading my previous statuses(very very lame, I know, I know) and things that I shared. And I went way back till the start, when I created my fb account. It felt quiet strange. How I have evolved on a social-networking platform. The extensive use of sms lingo at the beginning to the college to corporate transitional confused soul to the Rajni jokes sharing phase to the I-Hate-My-Job phase. It’s a mini memoir in itself. So I decided to document it, for myself. Because what kind of man is he, who cannot laugh at his own stupidity. :-)

This is almost all of my statuses, other than the usual Happy this and that, I’m going home, I’m sick, It’s Friday and the likes. Also I left out few statuses which I shared in the beginning that were forward text messages(lamest of ‘em all, I know) and few others which I copied from other sources. Other than that, most of them were my own. Some of them are real gems you know (modesty...? what’s that...?).

Without further ado, I present to you, the “Status Compilation”.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do not bother to understand if maths wasn’t your favourite subject..:P

“On the office forum, someone put a status. Many people gave their support by commenting '+1', few with '+100' and some others with '+100000000000000000'. But one person commented '+1^100'..;-)

I couldn't figure out if the person was over-enthusiastic with a flash of dumbness or is a smart-ass trying to troll others..:D :P”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If you think about it, very long ago some guy/gal coined the name 'Brain' for brain, which was actually the function of the brain. In other words, 'Brain' named itself..;-)


Now, how wicked is that..:D

Only one person liked this status. Is my sense of humor twisted..??

“Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary”

The desolate, blindingly white land of Little Rann is nature at its harshest and most convincing. It is also home to India’s last refuge population of Khur – Asiatic wild ass and for it is for the conservation of Khur, that this has been declared as the “Indian Wild Ass Sanctuary”.

I still do not know why I wrote this.

"A relationship of almost 5yrs n 8 months comes to an end. Now you may not be with me all the time. Yet you shall be always remembered. Some one much better, prettier and smarter than you has replaced you. But that doesn't mean you are any less. The sturdy and stubborn little bitch that you were, I never felt like leaving you for anyone else. Until you started acting weird for no reason at all. It couldn't have been continued this way. It would have spoiled my relationship with others, who would have thought I'm ignoring them because of you. As hard as it may feel, I had to let you go and say good bye. But dont worry, I shall come visit you whenever I feel like. Hold you and recollect all those fond memories I shared with you. But I will always miss you.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So that's it. These are most of my statuses. From 12th August 2009 till 26th Feb 2013. Now don't go and search my name on fb to add me as a friend, okay..?? :D

P.S: Mid-way while composing this post I started wondering if 'Statuses' is the plural of 'Status'. When I searched on Google, I discovered that many people have the same confusion. Anyhow, MS Word and Blogger say its correct. So much for studying in a Convent for 12yrs.:P

E(I)nsure

Vikas walked out of the office building. He was in a hurry to catch a bus home. He had to cross the service lane and the four lane road to reach the bus stop on the other side. Just then his phone rang. A land-line number. And he knew who it would be. He picked up the call and said, "Hello".

"Good Evening, Sir. My name is Neha, I'm calling from New Life Insurance Co. We have a new scheme which I think you would be interested in. It's very.."

"Look, I'm in a hurry. Could you call me back later?", Vikas said and cut the call.

He reached the office gate, and was about cross the service lane, when his phone rang again. He picked the call and said, "Hello, look I said I…", impatiently.

"Sir, please sir, it won’t take much of your time, sir. We found that you do not have any policies in your name. I think this scheme would be very apt for you. I.."

"Please", Vikas interrupted her. " I do not need any Insurance policies. So please stop calling me", Vikas said and pressed the red button hard.

"These people always find the perfect time to annoy people", he said to himself stepping onto the main road without looking at the truck coming towards him.

The driver hit the brake as hard as he could. The truck came to a screeching halt. Vikas was thrown a good 6 to 7 feet away. Everything went dizzy for a while. But he soon regained his consciousness and got up on his feet. He was about to shout at the driver and give a piece of his mind, when he realised that it was actually he who was in the wrong. He then saw people moving towards him. He signalled with his hand that he was ok.

"Maybe I should get Insured after all", he said and started crossing the road, when he saw a car speeding towards him. He signalled the car to slow down. But it kept accelerating. When the car came almost near him, he stood there stunned, motionless and exclaimed, "What the Effff", and the car passed right through him.

At a little distance he saw the traffic police clearing the crowd away from the truck, where his body lay, crushed under the wheels.
