Exciting trip ahead? Wanna join?

As I am having some spare time, I am planning to indulge in my passion of doing adventurous activities. So, next month, I, along with a friend of mine, have planned to climb Mount Everest.

In order to make it challenging, we are planning to climb Everest, tying our left hand behind our back. We were sure from the beginning that we want to do something different, so tying one hand behind is something we agreed upon. But the dispute came to decide which hand. After all, one has only two hands, and one hand to pick among the two.

The classic Nietsche-ian dilemma here is that, whereas I am left handed, my friend is woefully right handed. Woefully because, he uses right hand even for some things which traditionally required a left hand deployment. I am not such a bigot in use of hands and so I have allowed him to decide upon which hand to go behind our back in couple of days. After that, there would no further review. We are planning to meet up in Base camp sometime next month. One-handed climbing, boy, this is going to be fun!

Guess What ! I Am The Blogger Of The Month!

I got an email, just now, from blogosphere.com that I have been selected as ' the blogger of the month!'. I am totally speechless. An ordinary guy like me getting such a great honor...

The mail signed by the CEO Mr Steve Simpleton says, "You are the ONLY blogger in the entire cyber world to have writtten a lot of blogposts WITHOUT using the words 'rocks' and 'sucks'. We feel this is no mean feat and in fact, this is an excellent achievement and we thought it would only be fitting that you should be made the blogger of the month. Hope this spurs on to reach greater heights. Yours truly, bla bla bla"

Wow!

As a prize, I am told that I will be getting a CD shortly containing all the blogs from blogger.com, neatly classified. I'm all agog waiting for the CD!

In case you want a copy of the same, don't forget to mention in the comments!

PS: Blogosphere.com rocks!

One-handed Surfing and Tennis Elbow

I understand from a reliable physician friend of mine that the only cure the medical world has ever known, for the problem of Tennis Elbow, is this:

One-handed surfing.

I don’t know how this works but I understand this is mighty effective in giving exercises to the affected parts and make them well again.

But, wait, here is the strangest and weirdest bit of medical news!

What should you do if you want to GET Tennis Elbow?

Answer: One-handed surfing again!

Tips For Writers Who Get Stuck For Some New Expressions

One of the greatest thing about the Internet is its free spirit, ‘free’ as in freedom.

For readers, the Net is a boon for they get to read great content gratis. There are lots of books, games, music, software etc on the Net for which you don’t have to pay.

What about writers? Do they get anything free?
Writers, especially bloggers, tell me that their minds go blank when they have to produce a neat turn of phrase. They have always clamored for a free service to help them with their writing skills.
To help wannabe writers, I am giving here some of the expressions from my collection. These belong to me, but you can use this freely in your blogs, or wherever, with or without credits to me.

1. ..he was so dumb that if you put him in a nudist’s colony, he won’t know where to look.

2. ….she was the sort of girl, who, if she ever eloped, would rather elope with the milkman than with anyone else, for the sole reason that he was the only one who had ever seen her without make up and still hadn’t flinched…

3. ... his was the sort of writing that if he ever talked, people would be prompted to say that he talked a lot but said little…

4. …..he loved her with all his might, the way a user would love his password.

5. ….they were as inseparable as the TB and cough, colon and E.coli…

6. …..it looked so odd to see her without him at her side, the sight was as odd as balls without hairs, and a turtle without its shell…

7. ….little did he know at that time that all she cared for him was about the bulge in his wallet and not bulge in his pants.

8. ..he was such a perfectionist that he even did his morning ablutions religiously, so that, even when he is called an asshole, he wanted to be a perfect asshole.

9. …..she was so shapeless that an amoeba could learn a lesson or two from her…

10. ….."What do you mean ‘sorry’? In your paper, you said reckelessly that I am ‘The rapist’ instead of ‘Therapist,’ didn’t you? Now, you are going to find out who really I am…” he walked towards her menacingly…

11. ....he checked her out completely like a blogger would check his posts for comments....

Guns In Both Hands

It was an exciting day at the office. Exciting because, for the first time in my life I saw a guy holding guns in his both hands.

Who? The Armed Guard. Where? At the loo.

Cartoon Anyone?

The problem with my overfertile brain is that I keep getting ideas for so many things and just don't know how to get these executed.

Like cartoons, for example. I get lots of ideas but can't draw for nuts.

Today I thought of a nice idea for a cartoon. It’s like this. Picture of a guy, a very agitated guy, if you get I mean. He says angrily, “I said ‘massage my knees’ and not ‘massage my niece’!”

Draw this cartoon and mail to me in text format.

Top 5 Things About Me That Pisses Off People

  1. I always use the little finger of my left hand whenever I need to poke into my ears. My pals, who normally use car keys for this, naturally, don’t approve of the usage of my little finger for de-waxing my ears.
  2. Strangely, I use the index finger of the same hand whenever I have an itching on my head! This really pisses off my friends. They don’t understand what a complicated personality I am.
  3. Whenever I brush my teeth, I hold the toothbrush tightly in my right hand, press it close to my teeth, and shake my head sideways. The toothbrush stays in the same place and it is the head that is moving. This is my way of starting the day with a nice exercise.
  4. I have a habit of putting the left hand in the left trouser packet and keep fiddling with the car keys and coins deliberately left there, especially while talking to females. (Yes, it is another habit of mine to put everything into left trouser pocket.) Many think that I am surreptitiously scratching my balls, which is not the case.
  5. Many people have this obnoxious habit of looking at the boobs of girls when they talk to them, but not me. I always look at their front teeth. The gap between the front teeth always fascinates me. Like thumb impressions, the tooth gaps too are very individualistic and a topic worthy of a separate blog.
