There are many ways to answer a question.
And even if the outcomes are the same, the way in which you answer to the
question shows off the subtleness you wished to hide. If you don’t believe me,
see this for an example.
Let us assume someone asks you to give them
your bike for an hour or so. If we also assume that you are going to give them
your bike, there are two things you’ll say – “Ok” and “When?”.
If it’s a close friend, the order will be
“Ok” and then “When?” (Sometimes it’ll just be “When?”) If it is an
acquaintance, it’ll be the reverse. This change in order shows the priority
that you wished to hide.
Now, this week I’m going to go all RANDOM on
you.
Did you know…
1. … that Walt Disney’s body has been
cryogenically preserved, as per his wish?
Only that, it is not. It was cremated with
due formalities after his death. But someone close to him, started this as one
last prank on the famous man by letting this crazy info leak into the hands of
the media. This is what you call an Urban Legend. There are a lot of those which you can find by a simple a google search on 'urban legend'.
2. … that the seat numbers in Kingfisher
airlines flights skip from 12 to 14?
Apparently, the owner feels that the number 13 is unlucky. I can’t find any links to prove this, but
it’s true. Anyways, since all their flights are still in their hangars, you
can’t prove me wrong for now. :p
UPDATE!!! I just got this to prove my
point..
3. … that the minimum temperature in
Gurgaon is the maximum temperature at Trivandrum?
The value in question is 30 deg Celsius.
And yes, I know this is personal, but you have got to feel for me. I had to
come from the perfect climate to the perfect heat wave last week. By the way,
the minimum temperature in Gurgaon is achieved around 6am every day.
4. … that the google recommends you to “Jet
ski across the Pacific Ocean” when you ask it for road directions from
Japan to China?
If you don’t believe me, go to this link
and check out direction number 44.
5. … that the best food is served in a
Malayalee Christian Wedding?
There’s fish, there’s chicken, there’s
mutton, and there’s beef. What else do you need to finish off your appetite?
There were some veg items too, but I wasn’t concerning myself with them. And
for the gift of making me attend my first such wedding, I would like to thank
my two classmates in college, Deepu and Merin.
Deepu, you are one lucky man. You have
successfully lived the dream that all the guys who went to college dream of.
Fall in love with a great gal; she feels the same for you; you have a steady
relation through college and after; then get your parents to agree to the
wedding, and now being happily married for a week, with decades more to come.
You did great bro!!
And Merin. I said this to you on your
wedding day, and I’m gonna say it again. All the best!! :P
With warm wishes for a beautiful future to
the newlyweds, I’m taking your leave.
That’s all for this week folks.
Have a great weekend!!!
