I sink.......in chinese

Statuory Warning: Contains Anglo - Chinese text"

And so...One more of those School memoirs...And before I forget, Now tht the storm over FFBW is over..Letz start one more with Vi ...:)
by dedicating this blog to her..


This is not one of those High school memoirs...Ther r too many to write..
I wud be flooded with thoughts, jus like Bombay is marooned now..
.


This one was in my Masters...


And so, we had this Chinese proff, who like most other proffs frm there, has trouble communicating in English.


Itz a big wonder as to how they interview and get selected as well..
maybe they accept lower salaries..but thts a diff story..


She made us get to school on a sat, as she had something to discuss abt..


A 3 hr class on a sat morning....yikes....somehow we made it.
I was having trouble focussing and was jus prancin around..and the fact that she is difficult to understand made my choice easier..




10 mins..


15


she was getting fed up with me...and finally..summoned the courage..
"uroan..".(thts how she spells my name)" how many fishes in the
cube.."

"huh..excuse me" I was totally taken aback...

and she repeated that again...this time a bit more slowly...But I heard it the same way still..

Now everyone around were as bewildered, but since they werent in the firing line..they started laughing as well...

She was loosing her cool by now

"Oh cmon..Den u no...how many fishes..iz viry izzey. Cmon sink"
translated as " Dont u know. Its very easy... Cmon think" :-)

It was an manuacturing Engg class and I dint know what fishes and sink got to do with it..

"fishes..fishes...sink sink.." she continued.......

..and so..to cut a long story short..

She finally answered it herself..

"6" said the proff..

We were like...eh..how...do u have a particular size and shape for the fishes..Did u mention how big the cube is..

or iz it like a fish displaces this much amount of water..and u calculated accordingly........

And then, she showed it with her hand, and took a book and showed us

"Think this is a cube..U have six fishes"
and showed the top, bottom and the sides of the book..

"Ohhhhhhhhh....Faces..."
and our own 'fishes' brightened...I mean Faces :D


"wat dij u sink..." asked she...

translated as " what did u think"

"oh nothing..I just dint get it...6 faces u r right" and I sat down..

and so the story goes..:)

Grandmas and Vegas

Yes..u read that right..
U must have heard of vegas and show girls

of vegas and beauty queens
s

even of vegas honey mooners'

But this one is something new...

Grand-mas and vegas..

The last 2 times I was in vegas I had to take grandmas along..including one as latest as last week.

Pics of me hand in hand with grandmas are all over my computer folders..

and my mom is pestering me for fotos taken on the trip....sigh

Word has it that she wants recent fotos for fixing alliances..

wonder what will happen, if I send her fotos of mine with the other 'woman'...

ya ya...grand mas of course..:)

But this vegas trip was a defining one -very diff from my prev ones..

I have always lost an obscene amount of money on all those trips..

But this time..GULP..hold your breath, I lost not even a penny..

Kewl eh...

To round it up, itz one hell of an experience to go with grandmas..

forget all those bikini clad and handerkerchief clad babes, U always get a chance to get going with them.

trust me, grandmas are fun too...:-)

The most exciting part of the trip, was when

Remember all those mexicans standing by the roadside, and handing out credit card size pics of nude girls
with their 1-800 no.s on the streets of vegas..

Grandmas, got hold of one..rofl ...that stupid mexican gave her one...

he was just handing it out to all and sundry, and lo she extened her hand to get one..

She looked at it, and silently put it down..

Her facial expression at that time..said a 1000 words..

Nay..I'm lying make in 1 Million.. :))

The last time I lied

Always dedicate ur work to the one that inspired you..said mr.somebody
So letz dedicate this one to Flower bestial...and ...to her chaotic post..:)
and that had me thinking..

this is something I can Identify with..An incurable curse..at one point of time..
.

Trust me...I can lie thro my teeth..and I have no problems lying about something..even when there is absolutely no need for it.

so if I say, Your post touched me to the heart..or well written..:)

well well...Not so fast, re read the prev line..I said " at one point of time.' :)

It pretty much seems to be a part of me..

No wonder my fav song is frm the movie Run..the tamil version of it that is..

The first 2 lines go like this..


Poi solla koodathu kaadhali
Poi sonnalum neeye en kaadhali/...

For the Non Tamil Junta..that translates as..

Dont lie.. my sweet heart..
Even if you do, you ARE my sweet heart..

Any ways, getting to the point..
When was the last time I lied...
