I just realized that….

·         Falling in love is as similar to falling out of love…you can feel every bit of it.
·         The people who have not met me and are receiving my work emails often perceive of me as a 40+ arrogant woman. :P
·         The charm and the charisma lasts only for about 15 minutes of the first meeting…
·         You cannot make someone fall in love for you. Just be the person who can be loved….
·         I still blush seeing Aamir khan on screen..
·         It was my newly bought Tee from Shopper’s stop when the splash of paint fell on it.. L while painting a piece of old furniture..
·         Mother’s love is equal for all her children…just like I love all my paintings in spite of all the visible imperfections.
·         Just because two people don’t argue…doesn’t mean they love/like each other and the vice-versa..
·         No matter how painful the goodbye is ….change is always welcome…
·         When I am expected to do the most boring things in the world…i end up writing blogs like this…

What's In a Name (Bloopers- Part II)

Note: I had no choice but quoting the actual names of the characters in this post.
Sh*t happens when you are chatting in multiple windows at the same time :P :P

Though I always disagree, many people designate me as a chat-buff, chat-addict and what not..
What?? Is it not obvious in this age of social networking?

Well, let me introduce two friends of mine - Sudipta das(Male) and Sudipta Chakraborty (Female). Its Funny, how the naming conventions goes for the people of Bengal, where the same spelling of the name can have different pronunciation and can be applicable for both the genders. I call them unisex names.  :P :P
In this case here the Sudipta(M) is pronounced as Sudipto and not Sudipta..
If its hell confusing for the non-bongs, sorry guys….its equally confusing for bongs as well.

The marriage season being in its full swing, I am receiving the engagement news of every other friend of mine. On  one “busy” afternoon I received a ping in my Gmail account from Sudipta. As I was “busy”, I skipped noticing the surname of the person and I automatically assumed it to be Sudipta Das(M).

Sudipta:  hi
Me:  Hey!! Long time..
Sudipta:  yeah..hw r u??
Me: fine..hw r u?
Sudipta: good…gotta news to share
Me: yes yes!!
Sudipta: m getting married..
Me: wow!! Congrats!!
Sudipta: Thanks. The wedding is on Jan..
Me: with whom?? :P :P whats the name??
Sudipta: Sabyasachi
Me:  (confused) what!! Isn’t that a guy’s name?
Sudipta: yes…of course..
Me: what!!! U r marrying a man???
Sudipta: yeah….its a love marriage and my parents have finally agreed!!
Me: what!!(almost fainting)
Sudipta: why do you seem to surprised..these things are so common nowadays..
Me: yes I know…its legal now…but I can’t believe its you!!
Sudipta: (confused and irritated now) what are you talking about?? :-/ X-(
Me: You found no suitable girl to fall in love?? x-(
Sudipta: what bullsh*t!! !!@#$$%%%  !@@##^^&&** !@@!@@## !@# (Censored )
Sudipta Chakraborty is Offline.


What!!! Chakraborty!!! That’s when I sensed there is some mistake and re-read the chat twice… and then noticed the blunder that I made. :D :D
(I had obviously called her up later and apologized.)

Note for Google employees:  It would be highly beneficial if you make the provision of mentioning the gender too in the chat windows.. :-/

Realization : “What’s in a Name??” whoever the hell has said that wasn’t introduced to the modern era of chatting..
