Being status conscious
One has been having a bit of a party with one’s Gtalk status messages. Phull weekday series and wotnot. So one wanted to tell, seeing as sharing joy multiplies it and all that wholesome chocolatey goodness.
Serious early morning creativity at work here, so pliss to not mind.
- Man ka meet. Monday meetings.
- Tue cheez badi hai must must. Tuesdays are necessary.
- Bhed bhaav. The bhalue of a Bhednesday.
- Kaahe tarasaaye? Why does Thursday come?
- Phokat ke chaabi ka talaa hua din.
*takes a bow*
*takes an arrow too but puts it back gingerly and tiptoes away*
Oh wow! Overcame the block, eh? You have been gone for too long en”tailing” confusion about your existence!

Wow. Some nice changes too :)

Test comment. First edit. Second edit.

[~] : Looks like you are doing quite some testing out here!
Friday, March 16, 2007 @ 9:44 PM
Kya baat hai… kya baat hai… Lekin weekends par ye anyay kyoon?
Saturday, March 17, 2007 @ 10:26 AM
You know this isn’t really a post, right? Confucius still maintain statement on disobliging blog divas.
Saturday, March 17, 2007 @ 8:54 PM
[anantha] Yes, this thankless testing job has been outsourced to me :)
Saturday, March 17, 2007 @ 10:40 PM
Hmmm.. I see a new title up there and assume it will be a Meg(h)a post and all that I get is this.. All I could wish was for you to wake up early everyday so that we can have more of your early morning creativity flowing. The monday meeting one had me. I have a job where every monday i need to attend a minimum of 3 meetings, some unscheduled. :( So, I have perfected the art of sleeping with my eyes open, needless to say only in unimportant meetings.. ;)
More regular programming please.. if you don’t want to be accused of starving me.. :)
Regards,
Gangadhar

Forgot to add that the bow and arrow thing in the last had me in splits… vintage M style.. :D
Sunday, March 18, 2007 @ 10:55 PM
He he. Very creative. Especially “Kaahe Tarasaye”.

*snatches arrow from meghabaala’s hands and pierces her own left big toe with it…to see if this is a dream or if the great one has actually wroted a post*

[Mythili] The tail of my disappearance is best not told. Unless of course you intend to make a movie out of it!
[deitaDi] Saturday and Sunday were spared for two reasons - One, so my readers have something to keep themselves busy with when they read this post. (A fact that you have apparently not picked up on.) And two, cos I like to pretend that I have a life from time to time, so I try not to hang around on Gtalk on the weekends. So there.
[anantha] Changes happened sometime last week only. Along with the dreaded upgrade, that went smoothly thanks to you!
[Squiggle] Thankoo for being a willing guinea-pig :)
[fleiger] Reasons duly provided in response to [deiTadi] :)
[Revealed] And why is this not a post?, I ask, indignantly! Brilliant puns, it has. Clever, it is. Written by me, it is. Then why, milord, why? On an unrelated note - pliss to move whistling boy journal article discussion here, since previous post is officially passé. Thankoo :)
[Gangadhar] Sigh. *I* have to sit in meetings. *I* have to come up with creativity in the middle of it. And *I* also have to make them wordy and long. Such a heavy burden to bear. Glad you liked bow and arrow though. Was muchly pleased with it myself :)
[Anurag] Oooh! Glad you picked that one. Is my favorite too!
[twinky] Meghabaala! *cackle!* She wroted wonly. Now she’s going to stun you by writing another post in less than a week. You wait and watch. Well okay, don’t wait holding breath and all. Just casually wait, roadside-romeo-loitering-at-bus-stop-making-eyes-at-the-cuties, types.

tiDtAnDra poguDtAnDra? (pratiGhaTana reference)
translation - are you yelling at me or praising me? (dialogue from a telugu movie of mid 80’s called pratiGhaTana - remade in Hindi as pratighaat, I sink)
Monday, March 19, 2007 @ 7:10 PM
[deitaDi] I am a Vijayashanti looking at you as a Charan Raj. Now go figure.
Monday, March 19, 2007 @ 7:47 PM
[Megha] You got the wrong apparatus though :P (Vijayashanthi uses the goDDali(axe) to kill Charan Raj in the movie)
(nitpicking, kOTa says the dialogue in the movie, not Charan Raj)
Monday, March 19, 2007 @ 8:03 PM
[deitaDi] Apparatus? Beaker? Test tube? Concentrated H2SO4? I am addressing you as a generic baddie, therefore Charan Raj. Please to understand symbolism and not get into micro details. Tsk tsk.
Monday, March 19, 2007 @ 8:17 PM
I quote someone I read - “fun is in the details and the telling of it” :P
Monday, March 19, 2007 @ 8:25 PM
[deitaDi] This person seems to say the same things I say! How neat! Yesh, I do agree that the real fun lies in the details and the telling of a story, not so much in the story itself. But I also believe that simply embellishing a story with contextual detail doesn’t make it fun. Context, as they say, is for wimps. So hah!
Monday, March 19, 2007 @ 9:09 PM
told you eating month old raw fish was bad for you..
now look what has happened.
Monday, March 19, 2007 @ 9:17 PM
[viktor] What could I do. You brought it for me as a belated Valentine’s day gift and all. Overwhelmed by emotion, I forgot to cook it even. Sniff.

[deitaDi] Um?

aap bole so baat-aa ek dam se bouncer pade merku karke bolrau
Monday, March 19, 2007 @ 10:30 PM
Hmmmmm… Status messages are porn for the IM junkies……
Monday, March 19, 2007 @ 10:55 PM
The last one was “Free-key” Friday, right? Good ones, all. Also wish for something on Sat. and Sun.
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 @ 8:32 AM
Oh, and Ugadi Shubakankshalu, btw. Happy Sarvajeet naama samvatsaram!
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 @ 8:34 AM
We don’t consider anything shorter than 3 pages a post! Your paragraph, madam, does not fit our criteria. We reject it outright! Pliss to write 3 pages *now*.
What to discuss about whistling-boy-journal-article? It’s not like ur going to write it up! Tsk! *shuffles sadly away mumbling about broken promises and PF posts*
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 @ 1:02 PM
Bah.. I meant to say Status messages are *LIKE* porn for the IM junkies……
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 @ 2:05 PM
[deitaDi] Hee haw! Mission accomplished. The intent was to confuse you so you wouldn’t know how to react. *pleased with herself*
[anantha] Your words are heavy with experience, eh? :)
[Lak] Freaky Friday, it be :) Saturday and Sunday have been left for you to play with! And thank you and the bestest of wishes for a happy Ugadi and a prosperous new year to you and your family! Hope you got to eat lots of pachchadi :)
[Revealed] But this is most unfair, milord! Whatever happened to brevity being the soul of wit and all that? Admittedly, our wit has no soul at most times, but we can still try, right? And see, I cannot possibly write about PF without context, can I? Have filed it away to use as an appropriate prop in a future story. So please to shuffle back.
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 @ 5:09 PM
[Megha] tOtri, tonDi, gindri.. grrrr
translation - foulplay
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 @ 8:46 PM
Madam, pliss to note that your “reasonable” arguments and literary quotes make zilch-all difference to our decision. 3 pages. Mebbe more, nothing less. *continues shuffling stubbornly*
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 @ 9:43 PM
[deitaDi] Of course foulplay! Have you learnt nothing about being on this blog, by now? :)
[Revealed] Eeks! You are like a 7th grade card-playing English teacher.
Tuesday, March 20, 2007 @ 11:03 PM
You knew a 7th grade card-playing english teacher who called you madam?? :O Interesting :P
I was going more for card-playing-stern-faced-editor of Nature or something :D
Wednesday, March 21, 2007 @ 10:21 AM
Aha, got it… So bloggers are supposed to have something to do on weekends? That explains the dip in the readership I worry about every weekend…
Thank you… thank you… Mystery solved…
Wednesday, March 21, 2007 @ 11:35 AM
[Revealed] Oh yes she did, with a huge dollop of sarcasm at that. But you know editors who call you madam while giving you three page assignments? :O
[fleiger] I don’t know if they are supposed to have anything to do on weekends or not. However that’s my excuse to not blog on weekends, and it works just dandy for me :) Also, I think most people who read blogs do so while they are goofing off from work. That might explain the dip in readership on weekends, perhaps?
Wednesday, March 21, 2007 @ 4:25 PM
Simply brilliant! It’s amazing how easily you can bring on a smile, even without using too many words.
RevaBrevity is indeed the Gujju shawl of your wit. But pliss to not make it the sole soul. How about we give timidity, I mean lengthiness, a chance?Wednesday, March 21, 2007 @ 6:11 PM
Yesh yesh these editors, I tell ya!! They will call you madam politely while explaining why even a cockroach can write better than you.
However that’s my excuse to not blog on weekends, and it works just dandy for me
And what is excuse for other 5 days? (I feel another Confucius saying rising down my wrists trying to burst out my fingers :D).
Wednesday, March 21, 2007 @ 6:35 PM
Nice fresh design!
Wednesday, March 21, 2007 @ 9:44 PM
So true, so true… People do like to read in office ;)
BTW, you do find new excuses for not writing proper posts, don’t you?
@Revealed: I think you are one more kinda-red soul (is it called so because it is hurt and bloody, I wonder) who is trying to get this diva to write a proper post, right?
Wednesday, March 21, 2007 @ 10:06 PM
Tcha.
(Esp @ Mon ka meet).
I distinctly remember whupping you at weakly IM status messages for an extended period. I remember you cringing about Tue Meri Zindagii Hai and Guru Naal Ishq Mittha and such like.I even wondered if that green light meant you were jealous of me. ( That was before others came on to my Gtalk account, so doan sniggger).
Sigh, perhaps thats why you are no longer around, ever.
Friday, March 23, 2007 @ 3:47 AM
Am I the only one that did’nt ‘get’ friday? pliss to explain :(
Friday, March 23, 2007 @ 7:22 AM
ok, just saw Lak’s comment. now i get.
God is in the comments!
Friday, March 23, 2007 @ 7:24 AM
@fleiger: We’re actually a kinda-blue soul :D but we not only tried we succeeded. Muahahahahaha.
Friday, March 23, 2007 @ 4:51 PM
[Revealed] : Looks that way… Finally…
