Correction, 10 Dalits died.
Now that’s something really different and it's a worst case scenario. Now the media’s in a frenzy, the government wakes up from its slumber, everything just starts to ‘click’.
What if the victims didn't have names?
10 died
The chaatu I dislike
Experiences dictate how you feel, in general or otherwise. This is no different thing.
I’ve heard of people like him all the time, first they start off as the teacher’s pet that mature into the professor’s pet, I never thought I’d get a firsthand experience, but I was in for a surprise. They are very easy to spot; they laugh at the senior’s/boss’s jokes the hardest, or greet them with a twinkle in their eye only to bitch when they are gone. They’ll interrupt you when you are speaking and reiterate everything what you’ve just said while talking to the boss. And the one I know is gifted in the sweet talk department, let me illustrate with an example:-
Me- (talking to myself) I am so mad at him, how could he blame it on me? I am going to give him a piece of my mind!
Chaatu- hi! Kya chal raha hai??
After 10 minutes, Chaatu’s leaving to ‘socialize’ with others.
Me- !#@#@$#@$!!! Where’s my wallet????!!! And why the hell am I NAKED????????!!!!
Chaatu- (with my money and my clothes) Sucker!!!
In situations like these having a speech impediment sucks big time!!!!
What I’ve learnt till now is that being a sweet talker is like being Neo, you just have it in you, and no one can take that away.
Well, its just about time he starts getting on people’s nerves (or off mine!) until then, I’ll sulk as he goes for a coffee break with seniors. I’ll stand aside for his twinkly eyes and cheeky smile. Until then he’s the chaatu I dislike, the one person I want to be.
IT story
It’s been ages… and despite my attempts this is turning into a ghost blog; it’ll be one amongst millions unless I do something about it.
Trying times are upon us. It could’ve been a fairly tale IT story, but that would be soo boring!!
Boy idolizes uncle, boy decides to be just like him- the ‘IT’ factor, working with the cutting edge with the all the money……. naaah, it was about the money. Boy gets job amidst the Global Economy Meltdown! Was it all just meant to be?
But many (read parents/ relatives) are glad that we are in the worst case scenario from the start. ‘It’s better if you face the worst in the beginning, that way even by being a fresher you’ve seen it all!’ but hey! during the layoff drill that was carried out by thee I was stirred, shaken and what not. Fresher’s don’t have to worry about such things you know, most of us aren't in debt, with zero responsibility. We’ll probably go crying back to our parents complaining about ‘the bad client who’s bankrupt and who made the big guys @ office hand-out pink slips’.
Let’s hope for the better.
More to come.. Or as the wannabes say ‘more to cum’!!! lol!
