Euphemism

A mild, indirect expression substituted for an offensive or unpleasant one.

That’s a word I came across while I was preparing for my GRE. And since then I’ve fallen in love with the word. The example given under it was even more attractive.



Most of the times we are rather blunt and thoughtless when it comes to expressing what we think or feel. When in anger, we don’t have a control of our emotions and we end up shooting the worst of words at the one on the receiving end.

Words- they can mend relationships and they can even break them. So why can’t we be a little careful with words? Using the right ones at the right time.

Think for a moment if what you are about to say can be hurting to others. Coz words once spoken cannot be taken back.

There is always a better way to let someone know what you feel.

HER

I hate your absence.

You know what makes me sad; you know what makes me happy, you know when I am secretly crying, you know if my expectations were reasonable enough. And you also know what to do during all these times.

8 to 2, 9 to 3, 10 to 4 and 11 to 5…. Today I want to go back to that classroom…to the same bench that you and I shared. I want to travel in the same bus…that made us wish for a longer destination. I want to walk through the streets…sometimes laughing, sometimes moaning and sometimes bitching!

Today...as I realize... I can’t do without you :(.

Oh so jobless :(

Looks like I've lost the purpose of my life. There's absolutely nothing I am doing these days. My daily schedule goes this way- getting up at 12 pm, sleeping again from 1 pm for the next 4 hours, evening badinage with family and night chats with friends. I wonder how long this would continue. Every night I take an oath – that tomorrow would be different…may be I should start reading a novel, brush up my technical proficiencies (if any :O), watch some news channels instead of those cat-fight dramas, stop chatting till the wee hours of morning, do something meaningful, thoughtful and purposeful. All in vain :(

Yesterday afternoon I got a call from vodafone, foolish guy he got me out of my dreams :(.

The conversation went this way…

CC: Good afternoon madam, are you a vodafone customer from Hyderabad?

Div: yes?

CC: Madam, we have some special postpaid offers for you…!

Div: ok, I was sleeping before you called…can I get back to my sleep if you don’t mind?

CC: Sorry to disturb you madam, when can I call back?

Div: In the night?

CC: My shift closes at 6PM madam! May I call up at 11AM tomorrow?

Div: Well, no…I would be sleeping even then.

CC: Ok mam… 2 in the afternoon…?

Div: No, I would still be sleeping.

CC: So what’s the time I can catch u awake?

Div: In the night?

CC: Sorry for disturbing you madam…have a nice day!

I just can’t help being a slugabed :(. People say its high time I start taking up the responsibilities but I just lack the will to do anything at all :(. The past 4 years have been a luxury…with friends like diamonds I never had to worry about my things. Know what? Half of my very important things are with my friends…Passport; Pan card, Provisional certificates, letters and what not. The other day I was searching for my 10^th and intermediate mark sheets…after nearly an hour of rummaging around, I found them under my bed :D, yeah you read it right…they were lying under my bed :P. I remember I put them in my cupboard a few months back. Wonder how they have gotten to this place :O.

By the way…sami has some interview questions to ask :O.

>> You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your mass is proportionally reduced so as to maintain your original density. You are then thrown into an empty glass blender. The blades will start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?

>> You have a record disc, its painted half white and half black and its spinning. How many color sensors you need to determine in which direction the record is spinning and they should be placed in which places?

*She forgot that I already have a job :O, answer it right and sami will arrange a job for you in Microsoft*

10 things a girl shouldn't do when in love.

Disclaimer - NOT ALL ARE MY EXPERIENCES! And i have not undergone any breakup :O

> > Do not call him while he is with his friends. He is busy.

> > Don't ever discuss your addiction for chocolates with him. You never know…all you might be receiving from him on your birthday would be a pack of chocolates.

>> For a healthy relationship talk about your guy friends SOMETIMES. But not to the extent that he simply backs off.

>> Do not disturb him at work. He won't be listening.

>> Add a pinch of humor to your talks. This works only if the guy is sensible enough to understand your sense of humor. Otherwise wait for an annoying upshot.

>> Do not be his mother, he already has one :P :P Be a kid, if you're sure he has none :P

>> Do not ask him questions, he won't answer them anyway :O. If you still insist, take pleasure in being called *A pigheaded female*

>> Do not disturb while he is sleeping. The cell phone is in silent mode, no use dialing a hundred times. All you would get to hear is a *NO ANSWER*

>> Guys are forgetful. Don’t rant and whine about it. Even if you do, he is not getting his memory back.

>> Don’t remind him of his past deeds :D. It really would piss him off.

Div does it all *winks*
