Silent Day!

, , 14 comments
Hmm...
My phone just didn't ring today. It has been silent the whole day. I mean, yes, it did ring, but it was only for messages. And all the messages were from my project mates, for project discussions. Irritating that I did not recieve any interesting calls or messages. It's so surprising if the phone is silent for such a long time! WAaah....nobody interesting (to talk to) is calling me! :'(
Equally worse, NOBODY's even mailing me! It is at these times that I'm almost let to conclude people have forgotten my existence. It is like I open the mail box and all that I see are silly forwards saying "Pass this on to --- people for better luck, otherwise ill luck will befall you.." Ya, thanks, man....if not for you I'd be dying. When will jobless people stop sending these forwards? A nice picture of Lord Venkateswara suddenly becomes a bearer of good luck (or bad luck, if you don't forward the mail to others and leave it in your mailbox or delete it!) Whoa!
Things are this bad because I've been in the room all day and it's the weekend. I just hope that they'll get better soon tomorrow when I can meet people!

P.S.: This is a short post. Howzzat???
Added at 7:40 P.M. : Got a call from home. finally, my mobile's silence has been broken!!! :)

weekend in an estranged place does give people this syndrome. you could name this `singapore syndrome` or something like that and suggest it at oxforddictionary.com...
but nothing compared to the age old method of beating boredom...`Sleep`!

hope this generated a mail and goes to your inbox!

You've finally written a post where I see the comment link w/o scrolling down!
As for the phone, yaarum phone pannalai-na random-a oru number-ku phone panni thamizh-la ulareetu phone a vechudu. When they call back to check who the nut-case is, u can always say "I'm sorry. I dialled wrongly".. Phone vandha maadhiriyum irukkum!

that was a gr8 link! had a good laugh...esp. the lines in the end...forward to one or two and ur life will "improve slightly" my god.....oru saami padamkooda itthana ketta vishyangal theviya?

Anu said...

Dhoda..idhenna kadhaya irukku..eppa pathalum fone varanum na? Hey yaaroda call expect panra, mariyadhaya sollidu!! Or like Praveen said, keep playing your ringtones...I know how much you bugged my life to get those ringtones!! ;)

Sriram said...

Hmm... Anu, You stole my trademark, but I'll forgive you. Dho daaa! Inna ma kannu? yaar kitta irundhu phone call expecting? (Pardon me, my "galeej" chennai tamil not so galeej) Most people feel relieved that their cellphones don't ring for a few minutes. As smitha said, sleep is a good alternative. Have u ever considered randomly running across the road? ( Yes, our favorite hobby in chennai. Is it legal in S'pore?) nothing like a good old run across a busy road to get your adrenaline pumping! You can also try less adrenaline-pumping sports like crocodile wrestling or sky-diving.

Vani Viswanathan said...

excuse me...
'dhoda" trademark ennudhu!! dhoda...rendu paeru indha trademark-ku sandai vera podareengala!!
anu and sriram, appdi yaara phone call expect panrean-naa naane phone panni pesirpen...appdi yaarum illannu thaane ivalo feelings panran! ;)
sriram, campus kulla avalo busy roads ellam illa...vandi ponalum engalukku niruthi cross panra varaikkum wait panittu povanga...so simple-aa adaiye advantage-aa eduthundu, we'll take all our time in the world to cross...alpa pleasures, eh?

I now we don't like being "disconnected" in these modern days, but no mails or calls can give you more time to enjoy books and ice cream in reflective solitude...
