Amazing Answer!

One evening, I was just going through Star-Dust (yeh…the same famous bollywood magazine that has lots of pics of celebz and gossips about their personal lives). I don’t own such magazines coz its expensive indulgence…and according to many people, a useless time-killer. “…there are better books which are still unread…”. So this one, I happened to borrow from my friend who has a great collection of the likes of Star-Dust and Cosmopolitan. I was even using her hostel-room as a library, but I wasn’t alone in such utilization of available resource. Another friend was doing the same out of her boredom. Her target was some other magazine from the same source…our Library of time-killer. As this Library had a non-silence rule, we were sharing gossips and commenting on pics and clothes and lives. I brought on the table an ad which casted a cute milky-white baby. "Kitna cute baby hai yaar…dekho”, I said. The response that I got from my partner in time(killing) is worth sharing!

She said “Mera hoga tab dekhna…iss se bhi sundar hoga!!!”

A unique reply indeed :)

So Wassup?

“So Wassup?”

An FAQ that becomes very irritating over a period of time.

If everyday the same person asks you Wassup (even with different spellings on chat), it becomes monotonous. The reason is…it’s an open question. Answer can be anything…fan, roof, sky, sun, moon….or whatever crap's happening in life. Moreover, it fails to set direction to the upcoming conversation. The one who asks actually relaxes; he/she is out of trouble. The other soul is in a soup. Imagine yourself giving this answer everyday to a friend or a colleague! Man, its awful to be burdened with the responsibility of leading the conversation into an interesting, enlightening or entertaining fashion EVERY DAY. The fear of becoming a boring chit-chat buddy gives sleepless nights trying to figure out apt answer for this question, whenever asked next.

Now imagine, you are sick and tired of being the topic finder and one day you decide to ask that question before you are asked. “Hey Man….Wassup?”… and to your horror, the reply is..”Nothing much..Wassup with you?” That’s it !!! The question is fired back and you have to re-initiate the conversation. Tedious job.

I know you must be thinking…there are other FAQs for initiating conversation, why write about this one only? And why make a fuss about it? There’s has to be a way to ask about each others lives. Ye ye…righto! But you forgot…you are going through a Junk :P
