I suppose Shakespeare was the one who said "What's in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell just as sweet."
Now while I do not harbour any uncertainty whatsoever about the literary genius of this bloke, I have serious doubts about his interpersonal skills!! If he were to refer to the rose as, say, a shoe-flower, the rose would object, if it could, to having that, which the referrer would wear while stepping through dung, in its name...
Similarly, if I had a girlfriend (big IF, yes, but go along with me here :P), and in the process of making love to her, if I happen to shout out another feminine name, rest assured, she would have quite a bit of shouting to do too!
My name, for example, is an infrequently encountered one and often the butt of horrid humour (ABCD on the lines of Sue-kar mere mann ko)... And yet I do not like mutated monikers like Ebay, Aby, Abey, Jhon or Thamas! Shortened forms like 'Eb' are fine, I have a friend who calls me that too :)
Right, discourse over! I'm having the time of my life, with a set of friends I have never even seen or met in real life, courtesy InfyBlogs! The last two weeks have been tummy-ripping hilarious, over mails, communicator and blog posts! I'm sure when we eventually meet, the maximum they will laugh because of me will be because I will be standing, blissfully unaware that my fly is open :$
I just remembered that I started this post because I wasn't sleepy :D And now sleep is starting to flit in so much that I'm hoping to fall asleep as I write! I only hope I don't drool over the keyboard, else my hard-earned laptop will give up it's ghost, like my old mobile (which, to my utter dismay, wasn't designed to handle my weight :P)
Speaking in officially cold terms, I have been released from my project, but still am blocked for the same account... Of course, I still hear the Gandhian speech about being productive and not "having fun in the project at the expense of others"... And that comes from a person who has two faces, as different as night and later-that-night... It's just funny, painfully funny... Or maybe just painful :D
This guy now officially tops my list of "People to kill before I'm 40", closely followed by Kareena Kapoor!! And owing to incidents mentioned previously on this blog, a certain person has climbed to the third spot and is sniffing Kareena's neck currently :P Sometimes I wonder how many to-be-butchered lists, I have a prestigious place in!! Well, doesn't matter, as long as they get my name right!!
What's in NaME?? ME for starters!!
Feeling : Insomniac!
