Some Embarrassing Moments!!!!

Ok..tooo much of serious stuff in last couple of blogs.... now time for some humourous stuff....

Here are some of the Embarrassing situations which i could think of.... imagine yourself in these situations......

1. One day you are going down in the elevator when just another person in there whom you havent met until then, starts talking. He says 'How are you?" and You answer "Fine" surprised at it. He then says "What else are you up to" and you reply "nothing". Finally he turns to you and says "Do You Mind I Am On The Phone"!!. It was then that you realize that he was talking on his Mobile

2. You are at a wedding of a relative of your loved one… and the brides mother is an unusually large, homely, unkempt woman...no matter what she wore or how she did her hair she couldn't help but look horrid. You want to say to her upon shaking hands in the receiving line.... ‘You really look nice’, (as You know she spent some time trying her best and it was worth the effort as she did look reasonably nice). You are all ready in the line and as you take her hand... Instead of saying "You really look nice" You blurted out... "You even look nice".. and that too in front of the Bride and Bridegroom and other guests waiting in the reception line!!!

3. You're walking up to your new boyfriends work and he's watching you approach him, along with some of his work friends and they're all checking you out. You're wearing these brand new sexy black pants which kind of flare with a split down the side, and yes one of your feet catches the other side of your pants, and you go flying, in front of all of them. Getting up from that one takes a lot of composure.

4. You have gone for a matrimonial get-together in some hotel. You find an amazing guy / girl staring at you. You reciprocate by staring! You start building hopes, hopes about going n talking to him/her, planning about future, wat if things work out wid the person n stuff…. Suddenly you see him / her whispering something into some elder person’s ears and soon someone from their end come and talk to someone from your end about fixing up a meeting. You are happy to the fullest, and then when introduction begins, they introduce the person whom you are staring at as their elder son / d’ter / son-in law / or d’ter-in-law… and thn the actual girl candidate / guy candidate comes… and then you realize that the person was staring at you for the candidate and not for self!!!!! [I have been through this :) :P…. trust me….. the marriage meet never happens but the embarrassment remains till you leave the place]

5. You are out with your loved one and his/ her friends. You were sitting in a room and u get an urgent urge to sneeze. (I think we all have this problem occasionally) .. but then when you are about to sneeze you fart as well.. Then you try to play it cool.. by acting like nothing had happend.. You could have swore, the guy / girl you love heard you but did not say anything. Wow. it sounds terrible and you face turns bright red.

The Suffix TION!!!

Now i dedicate this blog to my bestest best friend who has this affection for the word 'TION'...

We always seem to have a debate over the words like expectaTION, frustaTION, clarificaTION, justificaTION.... et al.. . (Today whn i had a fight wid him and those words again came up during the conversation...i thought of this)

Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhh finally found a para tht justifies his love for the suffix TION!!!!!!!!!!

"Congratulations on the termination of your isolation and may I express an appreciation of your determination to end the desperation and frustration which has caused you so much consternation in giving you the inspiration to make a combination to bring an accumulation to the population "

Aah these kids!!!

Embarrassing yet amusing story!!!
Being a Mother ...

Being a single mother, shree always wanted to do everything perfectly when it came to raising her son. One day, he went to shree with the age-old question...."Mom, where did I come from?" Since shree considered herself a fairly hip, enlightened woman, she immediately stopped what she was doing and sat down with her six-yearold child to begin the oh-so important explanation about the birds and the bees. she navigated, fairly cleverly she thought, through the basics, explaining what she believed a six-year old would understand. He listened intently, his eyes never leaving her face, never once interrupting her and seemingly very interested in what Shree had to say.

She was feeling quite proud of herself, feeling as though she had met and managed a milestone in the "motherhood" department. Her pleasure with her success was short-lived, however, when her son looked directly at her, his head cocked slightly to one side and said "No, mom not sex. I mean like Lisa came from Pensacola , where did I come from?"

You just never really know what is going on in their little minds, do you??

(This was one of the usual forwards which i receive on my mail id. Liked it so posting on my blog...)
