Today was just another day... atleast that is what I told myself when I woke up in the morning. Having an irresistible urge to call in sick, I thought.
The "headache" was an overused reason and my boss could have seen through the facade when I would have called.. could not use that. Well, maybe dyslexia - and forgetting the office address.. or maybe where I kept my new pair of underpants... but I get that almost every day when I attend those so-called boring "leadership" meetings. That would not have worked either. While my brain calculated the energy required to come up with a good reason and the ROI involved, mother nature called and my bowels started churning. This was it. The final sign that my cubicle beckoned me.
My cubicle. Ah! my cubicle. Just like one would test the water before entering the bathtub, I check the aura around before I venture out there. Today seemed regular. My neighbors were all busy with their headsets on babbling incoherently at a conference. I took this chance to slip in un-noticed and try to gel in the surroundings. Just then the fat lady across stood up and called "Raaaavi, you are not in the meeting?". My reflexes kicked in.... "I am...". Someone, once said that an offense is the best defence but this was not good enough. Denying the symptoms does not rid oneself of the disease but as humans usually do.. i hoped.. Hoped that my ploy would work.. hoped that the fat lady whose response to stimulus is like the cow, who does not budge even if a crow is shitting all over its back, would buy my con. But the almighty was not so generous today. She had a puzzled look over her face, as if she was saying to herself "I know I am an ass, but here comes the smart-ass". I brusquely added... "(I am... ).. just joining in." Sigh, so much for the mastermind.
I resigned to my fate and barked... "Hello, this is Pep joining in".

Now who the hell is "word brain"???
That is Butt butting in.
I know .. I know.. it was irresistible... after all..."Word Brain"? Butt a "word brain"? Seems to evoke a sandstorm of thoughts, ideas and sarcasms.But the paradox is evident...when you see beyond the obvious to discover the implied.. "(anything butt) word brain"
But, what is more important is that.. I did hold back... I did conquer my emotions.. and that I am still human.
haha... ok got it. What i can only say is here comes the ass ;)
Yeno Loafer...summane M80 alum-nai (dog) antha koogaadthiya?
Bloody fool.
This blog colsing and chup-chap going home. Understood???
The meaning comprehended... wordbrain could be your inamorato .. but then who gives a diddly-squat eh?
the invectives forgiven... but once and only once can I let one get away with that.
but the stinking lard which looks indigenous strewn back all over the lardybrain in not orbs but phallus shaped cylinders.
All said and done... the implied is overlooked... and do take this as the official welcome to the gang.
Lets create a mess that stinks this place and a million blogs around this space.
