What i learnt in school, college and at work #1

Back in school, I was in a class of 45 students. There were 8 of us guys. The rest called themselves girls. Now, for an engineering student (especially from NITs and IITs)this would come 2nd place, in the "i want to be" list,  right under [Software Engineer, Google]. Anyway, here's what i learnt then...

1.In any class vote, your (the miniority) opinion will be the most sought after.

2. In a group that BIG, there's always that 1 girl who will defeat you in an arm wrestling match.

3. If you are the class representative, there is no (@#*!)ing way in hell, you would be able to keep this class silent.

4. You piss one girl off, and you're branded for life! That one incident could be a topic of discussion for many reunions later on.

5.You like 1 female from your class--> You have broken another's heart. (Doesn't matter if your crush doesn't like you, your still a Jerk.)

6.If you value your reputation one teeny weeny bit, never ever think, your a stud!!... NEVER!

7. They can never be united. Divide and Rule works perfectly. Well, at least the divide part of it.

8. Dare and Confess/Spin the bottle would be the best game you will ever play... till you hear of something called Counter Strike.
2009--->@Work. Team of 15,  3 guys.


1.If you want to talk about the new, office babe with your female team mates, you will refer to her as dumbo/stupid/idiot. "bi(A)tch" earns you brownie points.

2.If they say they can't code. They mean it. They will not try and you shouldn't try convincing them either.

3. You always keep an extra handkerchief. Your new "full stop" could be any one amongst  please, pretty, and chocolate.

4.You will avoid every single discussion that starts with "men". They are likely to end with "bastards".

5.You shall pray for forgiveness for the woman, if she says "Whats the big deal with (the almighty) Sachin hitting a 200?"


I gotta admit, after writing the above, i cant help but wonder what Bryan Adams meant, when he sang "Have you ever REALLY loved a woman..."

P.S : College (2004-2008): I did ENGINEERING, in durgapoor, Durgapur

8 things people have just gotta learn


1.> Sangeetha isn’t a guy’s name. But Sangeet is. You cannot be dumb enough to speak to a guy and ask him “Am I speaking to Sangeetha?”. I know, there may be exceptions, but lets not think too much here people.

2.> I am not from Kuwait. I have never been to Kuwait. I’m from a small and beautiful city called Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman (or just Oman). Look it up.

3.> Dubai isn’t the only country in the middle east. (oh and I don’t live there either)

4.> Nobody, and I repeat NOBODY from my family is an Arab.

5.> My dad doesn’t work in an oil well. (and as we’re on similar lines) He doesn’t own one either.

6.> I am not a tamilian and not everone who speaks tamil, is one.

7.> It’s been one and a half years since I left Reliance Energy. It doesn’t really matter anymore why I did so. (No, I wasn’t terrorized by the engineers or the villagers there)

8.> No matter what you’re reason is, I will so definitely abuse you in the same phone call, if you ask ,SANGEETHA SOMASHEKAR, to hear about whatever credit card your selling.
