Did he say Yes?

It was one of those days I wanted to stay late at work. Yet again, my parents had invited a family to 'see' me. For those who aren't aware of this term, it means when a prospective groom and his family visit a prospective bride to plan an arranged marriage.

I wasn't ready to get married, I was still hoping to find my True Love, the kind you see in Yash Raj movies. The guests were supposed to reach at 7 pm. I ensured that I reach home after 8 hoping they will be gone by then. I was extremely irritated and nervous as well. What if they were still at home? The hot summer made things worse and so did the super crowded train. It was like everything was going against me that day.

I know what you did last summer...

Head over heels in love? It's untrue love

Have you even thought about it?

Head over heels in love is an incorrect usage of the phrase.

We always have our head over heels, that's part of our normal evolution.

The phrase was first coined as "Heels over head" as in topsy-turvy, upside-down, etc. So when you say you are heels over head in love, that's when you mean you are crazily in love as heels over head is not the way a normal 'not-in-love' person will stand / walk.

A person crazy and happy in love may perhaps do a cartwheel when the heels are over the head. Of course, after a long term commitment, one might have the need to do Shirshasana/ headstand in yoga to stay calm, but that's a different story altogether : )

So the next time you wanna confess your love, try using, "I am heels over head in love with you." I bet, once you explain the logic, you will be considered as a smart bet ; )
 
PJ ALERT: God is in each one of us. How?
 

God is in each one of us. How?

So, when we are in trouble, we first pray to God as a habit. Here are some examples:

1. "Oh God, I am late, please do something. My boss is already mad at me"
2. "Oh God, the guests will reach home anytime and there are clothes everywhere. I am in such a mess, please help me."
3. "Oh God, I can't find my nail paint remover and I have to leave for this party in 10. Please help."

Then, we wait for a little while. No help arrives. God is too busy, obviously. We find some temporary / permanent solution in a jiffy. Consider the examples again:

1. We run out of the house, run to the auto rickshaw, agree to pay extra / race our car at times, we run to get into the train, the lift, our workstation... Phew, we somehow make it to work in time or at least in a way that the boss doesn't notice it.
2. We dump everything inside the wardrobe and ensure it is not opened in presence of the guests.
3. We apply a couple of extra coats on the chipped off nail paint.

God = X
We = Y
Who help themselves = Z

Friend in need is a friend indeed

For a minute, forget the story you heard. Seriously, now don't try to remember.

Now read the phrase carefully.
A Friend in need is a friend indeed[Okay, I ate the "A" in the title but I am making a strong point here about F for Friend]

It actually, grammatically, means this:
A friend, who is in need, is a friend indeed.

So all our friends, at least at one point in time, have been our friends indeed ; )

For those who do not know the story behind this saying, here it is.

English ease a funny language

Eye love the language, and eye mean no offense hear.

But seriously, who coined the initial words / spellings of the most popular and one of my favourite languages?

Here are some examples that make me wonder:

Chivalry: If they want it to sound like shi-valry, why not spell it Shivalry? They use Chi for words like China, Chimpanzee, Child and Chicken. Imagine how these words would sound now if we go with the "Shi" version.

Then, Than: Do you have any idea how many students score less in exams just because of this E and A confusion? What's the logic? 

To, Two, Too: Seriously? The person who did this definitely wanted to earn the title - No one can beat me in English.

Doctors never live close to supermarkets. Why?

Supermarkets have everything from unhealthy biscuits to refined oils.
But that's not the reason.

Supermarkets also have frozen foods and fizz drinks.
But that's not the reason either.

Supermarkets also have butter and sweets.
But that's not the reason either.

Supermarkets also have APPLES. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Supermarkets have tons of apples.

Cats love Mr. Stitch. Why?

The cat community would like to thank Mr. Stitch for being the one who really cares for them.

Thanks to Stitch, who ensured and saved the nine live of cats, someone up there decided that while we humans struggle with one, the cats can enjoy all their lives!

After all, A stitch in time saved nine!
