My Stupidity Revealed 7

Disclaimer : This can’t be projected as my Stupidity. You people have to decide!

I’m staying in Shollinganallur, where there is no way to do general shopping even. So two days back I went to a nearby  Food World(Spencers) (a regional Deperatmental store here in India), on ECR Road, in Madras. I was much interested in buying a Body Spray as the current one got over a few days back. Since it involves few kilometer ride from my home to food world, I started my bike with Earphone connected.

Got inside the store and took the shopping cart and kept few biscuit packets & a loaf of bread. Then moved on to the place where the Men’s Cosmetics were being shelved. More than 2 dozen varieties of Body Sprays were there. I picked nearly 8 of them to smell in order to choose. Simultaneously, I was listening to some song from my favorite movie Hum Apke Hain Koun. Spraying the body spray on hand (around the wrist) and smelling it is one of the common sign most of us do in order to pick the right one. Even I followed the same. As I was with many choices left, I tried it in different parts of my body viz., on the left Hand, left side of my shirt, in my palm etc. Suddenly one of them just sprayed a thick paste of a blue colored gel on my shoulder. Before I could react, the color changed to a white foam!!!
Oops, it was a shaving Gel :( The sellers have kept all of those very nearby which were really confusing for anyone to segregate shave gel from body spray at one glance. Well to conclude, you guys decide upon this issue whether it is my mistake or the one who arranged it??

Am not so superstitious, yet once in a blue moon at least few incidents will happen to prove that am of the above sort.

On 15th Jan 2008 I planned to return from my native to Chennai after long leave for pongal. I was doing some thing or the other that I forgot totally about my return ticket; “yeah I haven’t taken a printout yet!!!!!”  said to myself. Forced with an urge to get the work done as soon as possible kicked my bike vigorously. As and when I tried pushing my bike forward a cat crossed my way across...Ahhh...What a bad indication?? “Never mind!!!” I started my bike with full speed, after going few yards forward; my friend Senthil Raja called me and told he has taken the printout… Patting my self I thought “So cat crossing our way is not a bad sign here onwards!!!”… That day night I and my friend Guna traveled to Salem to catch our train. When cross checking with the tickets I came to know, ours was on the same day early morning 12’o clock, which according to us previous day night!!!!!!a stupid misconception!!!!!!

Actuall reason was I booked 8 train tickets on that day, as that day was the opening day (60 days) so some confusion... Even though we managed to get a private Omni Bus, I was really thinking why this happened to me, and not for the others I booked the tickets

So, is this due to the effect of that cunning cat which crossed my way???

Its been a year that I posted to this section. But the stupidity was one of the biggest!!!

Its nearly three months I posted  to this Category (My Stupidity). This doesn't mean Im growing smart!! Ok.,

Im pursuing MBA through ICFAI's distance learning program & had my first exam last sunday(08-Jan-2006). The curriculum was like two papers each group & Im in the first group. So I have Business Communication & Introduction to Management.

 And last week, I was busy with my office work which came to an end. But I was very much into Business Communication book which was my first exam & the other was scheduled for the next weekend. Nearly I had covered most of the topics. The best of ICFAI is : most of the things like paying exam fees, registering for exams etc., can be done through INTERNET. Even, few exams we can write it online!! So two days before my exam I was to print my Hall Ticket which can also be downloaded in the net!! After printing, I left home. The Hall Ticket was inside my Business Communication book, and after dinner I took it out to read the Rules & Regulation. After seeing that I was bit tensed!!!

It said : Intro to Management - 08/Jan/2006    10:00AM - 1 PM & Business Communication - 15/Jan/2006    10:00AM -1 PM. What to do ... I overlooked it while registering. Then I had only one day to brush up, & look all new chapters in Introduction to Management!!!! The same has happened in my second year of my Under graduation. Bad na... Anyway visit here later to know my result.

 

From third week of July, I spent all of my weekends outside madras. But this weekend, I was here doing loads of work. I had about 5 new stuffs to blog about, but I didn't. So, today while shavng, around 9:30, I thought of blogging, but I knew I have to race with time if I blog. So, I added a small entry about OkCupid's Political Test (my previous post). When I came out of my bathroom, tying my shorts(half pant) knot, I heard the sound from my pendulum-clock.

"Shit, its 10...", I said to myself.
Im late by 10 minutes. I have to dress, drink-milk, pray & have to drive a mile to office. My blue Indigo Nation shirt was lying in bed. So I wore that & left to drink my yummy Chocolate-milk, chanting few mantras. In a minute, I came out with my purse & mobile in my hand nearing my bike to start. I was trying to keep my purse in my Pant's back pocket. It was not there!!!! I bent my head a little down & in a second, I started laughing...... Yes, I was not in my pant. Instead, the shorts. From my childhood, I used to wear my socks before wearing my pant. Even my brother used to do that. Since it was a half pant & was thinking something, I missed.

It was announced & displayed that Vijayakanth, is starting a new political party today. So I was eargly waiting for the name he is going to let out. And today from the morning I was busy with some work. So suddenly 10 minutes back I was thinking the same. So my  curiosity gave me an idea of calling my home (to my mother). So that she can look for these things in the TV. Immediately I called her to check the TV. For about 10 minutes, she couldn't find anything.

Later she ringed me up and said "I couldn't fine anything like that". I said "Ok leave it, tomorrow I will it the dailes". She then questioned : " But, you have told me before that all kind of news can be seen in the internet before they are cast in the TV". Then only I came to a normal mood & searched it!!!!!  Anyway the name was : National Progressive Dravida Party in tamil it is Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK).

My mobile Nokia 6260 was playing this song from Ah Aah (Anbe Aaruyire), a tamil movie from SJ Surya. I was crazy about this song, so I ripped  to Mp3 a day back from the CD I bought.

Unconstipated traffic in Madras Central Station, so I was enjoying the song & the Kwality Walls Feast at 7:30 this evening. I was waiting for a bus to Mandaveli, where my office is located. Flock of girls passed by and the exact bus to my destination came. So I ran towards the bus with all these stuffs in mind.     "Aaaah..... ", I screemed, the icecream fell down. Everyone around me looked up. My leg got stuck into a small pit and I couldn't move. Then slowly I took it out and moved a bit away from that place. But I couldn't.  Then I realised that I have sprained my left leg.  Later, caught an auto-rickshaw and was back to my office. But, how will I drive my bike to my house???

UMA, a cousin of mine invited me today for Breakfast (since, its a holyday for HINDUS - ADI 18, pronounced as aadee Pathi nhettu :: Adi is a month in Tamil Calendar, and Pathi nhettu is 18 in Tamil), and it was already 9 in the morning,  i was sitting before the PC.

 I used to shave 2 days once(Monday, Wednesday & Friday), so today is the my due-date. I have to bath, shave, goto Office and before that I have to goto her house for breakfast....But I have only 30 minutes left.  So, after a wide-thinking, I left my PC to take a shower. I was feeling my hurriedness. When I kept my Mach 3 Razor, on my face I smelt something different, it was a mint flavour. I use Nivea shaving cream, and it smells pretty good. So with a tensed mood, I saw down, oops, my toothpaste cap was open...... Then I realised that I tried : Colgate shaving Cream!!!! Still you did't understand ??? Its my toothpaste, colgate. Instead of applying Nivea, I used Colgate. Both are near by.... with the same sized tube.....

Thank god, I didn't use RIN(a washing soap) instead of a bathing soap  or  Harpic(a porcelain basin cleaner) thinking it as a Shampoo......so, what do you think of me now ???
