Random Overhearings…
Overheard earlier today during an interview:
Interviewer: You understand that this job involves interacting with corner shops and retailers and wholesalers and really the lowest of the low…
Woman applicant: I understand completely. It is a challenge. But as you can see in my CV it is a challenge I have faced successfully before.
Interviewer: Hmm. But I hope you are aware of the… you know… sheer dirtiness involved in this profile. Street-work is tough and can be a total turn off for a lot of people… most people…
Woman: Oh no no no. (Gesticulating with both hands for effect) I love interacting with people. In fact when I meet these types of people… I just dont get turned off at all… in fact I get really really turned on! Really turned on! (Face huffing with effort…)
Interviewer: Er… ah… yes of course… ok…
LOL….strange are the fetishes that people have…and stranger still, the things they admit to!
Hyuck hyuck hyuck….talk about how words can be twisted….
Funny one!
i think wrong words tumble out frequently in office settings. A lady in my earlier company sent a farewell note to us all stating
“..sad to leave you, but i am sure we will keep banging into each other”.
I’ve read many a funny farewell note till now. If one makes a compendium of such REAL ONES it will make an ultra comedy book i guarantee!
Good one !
btw, did she get the job ?
I am not sure if she got the job or not, but all corner shop owners in her “field” will definitely be turned on too
interviewer :Do you have any idea what amount of disgrace you have earned for yourself.Your “turned on” answer scoffed at in the blogworld..
lady:(unperturbed)I am waiting for cardamom to comment…he’s gonna clarify everything.He truly understands me *sniff* .last NIGHT he promised me that he’ll tell the world what i really meant to say…
*sidin-laughing under the table*
*cardamom-Auctioning a brand new MMS clip..*
killer!
” Interviewer: Er… ah… yes of course… ok..”
LMAO
Pauvre femme, who fed the glee
Of fatcat’s smirking gloat
She needed money, not bloggers funny
O - lend her a five pound note.
Now Now, I need to don the role of a street thug and get her turned on. That would be a challenge now.
Hey Sidin
In your links section, i think you meant Jay/David Letterman/O’Brain Liners instead of Jay/Leno/O’Brain Liners
LOL - and she didn’t correct herself later?
Giri…good one too!
LOL… liked the balle balle in delhi post too. quite typical.
absurd…how dirty u can right this was an example
Many are the ways we abuse the English language..an investment banker friend of mine often tells the story of how a prospectus just prior to filing with SEBI displayed the words “PUBLIC ISSUE” with the alphabet “L” conveniently missing on the cover page…
Similarly one has heard of “SEBI flings” with the all important “i” missing…
And one gentleman actually pronounced his lawfully wedded wife as ‘awfully wedded” while writing a letter..
This was funny!!!!
Nice,
btw saw some advertising on your website by makemytrip …was wondering if this is by the blogspot guys or are you being paid to make us laugh?
absolutely hilarious

great writing man…. love the part in the other post about a moderately hot woman signing up for a mechanical engineering course.
only someone who went to engineering college will understand the loneliness of the long distance mechanical engineer
you republish your entire blog every fortnight, and mess with our rss feeds.. why oh why!!
This looks like a very intersting conversation…
Girl: “….turn on..”
“Interviewer: Er… ah… yes of course… ok..”

Certain situations bring out the meaning of the worrd in a completely different perspective. Just as she is trying to reply how turned on of off she is with stray people, Journalism does not seem to be so turned on by bloggers- Are bloggers failed writers and half-wits or for professional journalism, is this the pits?
my office is full of such lovelies. right from “i am very busty” written on the office messenger, instead of “i am very busy” to plenty more. i even compiled a list. not 1, not 2, but 3! u can read one of these http://maladiesofconfused.blogspot.com/2005/11/here-we-go-again.html
PS: i was snorting quietly throughout balle balle in delhi…this coming from a non-punju in saddi dilli
hic hic…good post, chief
by the way, that Google webmasters which Rama has written bout is nothing but the fact that Google is recruiting for Search Engine Marketing (SEM)…am currently doing the same…trust me Sid, its not for people like you & me (though I dont know u much personally, but still i can say that, i think…)
Cheers!!
hey, I’m new in Hindi! I posted some Hindi poems and music on my blog http://www.oskarlewis.com/weblog/archives/1317
but actually I’m looking for songs sung in a dialect: can you help me finding them?
kind regards
sidin - write something. Life is becoming dull!
Dude, your columns on Hindu BL rock! I have been laughing so hard my cubicle neighbour’s asking me what the tears are for!
Keep up the humour! You are getting funnier by the day (unlike Dave Barry)
I second Shreyas. Your Hindu articles are HILARIOUS!! But why don’t you link to them a little more prominently than you have? I think most people who come here miss the links to it on the right of the page..
You are the funniest guy I know on the net. Love your serious bits on Hafta too.
did the girl get blew the job or she got a blow job… quiet tricky the words are… nice post…
Now why haven’t you posted for so long??
hey sid, garbo here.

Sidin, whatever happened of your book? You dun even bog regularly
You seem to be having the time to write regularly for your mag and other mags! But your own blog?!! Not important enough, haan? Too informal, haan? Too beneath your higher platforms of novels and propa articles haan?! haan? HAAN?!!
too good…
