"Why?" questions are the worst in the world- tricky, uncomfortable and hardly answerable. They're always more revealing when you expect them to be simple, and they barely satisfy burning needs to know because of their limitations. Worst of all, you could ask a why to almost everything in this world! Why so much partiality to why!?!?! You see, there it is.
Few of these are good too, many are crucial and worth knowing, but despite all that, I hate "why" questions, more often than not.
But, magar, kintu, parantu, some of these are crucial, and I still don't know their answers. Aur sab mujhe bevkoof samajhte hain iski wajah se!!!! [:O][:(]
So, if somebody knows, please enlighten me also. Suppose tomorrow they start taking IQ tests before one can posts blogs[:O] I'd fail na...so please please, koi samjha do. Thode se doubts hain...:P
- When "mistress" means something with such a negative connotation as "the kept woman", why does everyone call their wife also "Mrs", because as far as I knew MR. stands for mister, and Mrs. for mistress?
- Why did Zidane lose his temper in a World Cup Final he sooo wanted to win? Didn't he expect someone would try to provoke him, he's old enough to know that? But mera doubt ye hai ki afterall, what exactly was he told that was sooo effective? (I wanna try that too:P) Lots of rumours on this, but no confirmations, latest being, Zidane was asked "Hum Chlormint kyon khate hain??"
- Why does our met department get nothing right!!?! They say monsoon was here in Delhi on 29th June, but instead of any signs of rains, it became hotter and worse than ever before, for the next 2 weeks. Then, when some light rains come, they tell us Oh no! These arent monsoon showers. There's be light rains all week due to humidity and heavy rains next week. Gosh, it's been raining cats and dogs since yesterday and I've got to office drenched!!!
- What kind of a memory women have? At a generalised level (so don't sue me for exceptions), they remember obscure dates and trivial details of everything, but their love for numbers and trivia isn't adequately reflected in their maths and history skills, or in their memories of traffic rules. Hell, I remember birthday's of old friends' cousins parents! Where is the "Send to Trash" button?!?!
- Complementary to previous question, why can't men remember anything?!?! Again exceptions notwithstanding, men can be geeks and nerds and toppers with everything in the textbook on their tips, but, they would forget their own promises, sisters' birthdays, anniversaries, their hankys and files, the specs that they are wearing etc etc. One possible answer was that men spent too much time thinking of you-know-what, and therefore "Testosterone Overload" and "Low Disk space" are their common problems.
- Why are a majority of kids these days taller than their parents? Genetic supplements, anyone?
- What do you do of people who copy your "About Me", change the voice and person, and paste it as your "testimonial" at Orkut? And what do you do of the testimonial? Worse, f people who lies white lies in your praise in your testimonial, including things that never happened!
- When did Manmohan Singh switch over from Congress to being an alone, independent candidate? Afterall, the Congress opposes things he says, Cabinet makes decisions PM refutes, and Opposition doesnt know what to do when the ruling alliance is Decision-Criticism-Support-Rejection all in one! What's going on?
- Why do they have to hold the Cricket world cup in West Indies, where the match timings have to be such that 70% of the cricket crazy population of the sub-continent are expected to be asleep? Whatever happened to common sense!!
Disclaimer: Before you kill me, consider reading this as a pre-emptive justification.
NEWS FLASH: Just for announcement, people in Delhi who are fond of books and wouldn;t mind a cheap deal for good stuff, I found a shop at Nehru place yesterday with a decent stock of books. mostly second hand, but in awesome condition, and some real good ones, at 100 apieces. Worth a look! Try going next week though, more stock expected.

[jasmine]
hmm...it's right opposite BOB, shop called Nanda Book store!
Are you referring to the old man who sits with a huge pile of books in front of him. He speaks good english.
naah
its a proper big shop!

u ask for rains and still u have something to complain abt it now :o
waise did u accept that testi finally?
:D:D
arey anhi i am nt complaining
i looove rains, and getting drenched also:P
i gt a testi of the first kind and accepted it, my frnd got the second kind and accepted it
but it is weird
Haha, the chlormint thing was superb, har post mein kuchh theek thaak mil hi jaata hai! Oops! did that turn out a little rude?
He he hee ..The chlormint explanation was exceptionally funny and talking about rains I got to my office with my shoes and socks in my hands and my pants folded up... imagine the scene
1. The word mistress had many meanings in Middle English, some of which are still familiar today: female head of a household, goddess, sweetheart, expert in some occupation, teacher, and governess. Basically, mistress referred to a woman who had expertise, power, and control. But it was also used as a title of courtesy when addressing an unmarried or married woman. The sense to which you refer, the 'other woman; the woman who occupies the place of wife' came into English about 1600.

2.Materazzi called him "Son of a terrorist whore". If someone calls u that, I'm fuckin' sure u'd do the same.
3.Fuck the damn met department. Which Dept in India is right ever?
4.That's a more of stereotype belief. Come to IITD and one'll find all kinds of 'women' in love with maths, physics, astrophysics, actuarial sciences, and all other damn fuckin' things that u say women loathe.
Abt traffic, it's just that women aren't at drivign...now pls don't start a fuckin' debate on this matter.
5. Another wrongly held belief.
6. Ain't true, Statistically talking.
7. Fuck the testimonial...no one ai'nt gonna read it anyways.
8. Is he the PM?
9. Come out of the 1980s. 70% of those 70% you're talking about is wide awake at that time, engaged in various kinda things.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
women aren't GOOD at driving, was what I meant
Ofcourse, you never expected an answer when you wrote these questions, so I will give none.
Another reason is, I am no wiser than you. And no matter how I will answer them, they will lead to further questions and so on.
Ignorance is Bliss!
1. Doesn't Mrs. mean Missus?
2.:D Ironic. I thought Chlormint kept u cool!! Waise , hume Chlormint kyun khana chahiye? Really.
3.Are u saying ur not happy that monsoon FINALLY has arrived? or is it just that it caught u off-guard?
4.GOD knows!
5.GOD knows. But the "testosterone Overload" notion isn't always true.Infact, I don't think any of those cases of memory-slip can be credited due to ur "TO" stuff.
6.Whoz complaining?
7.Simply reject the testimonial. OR.
If it's too mushy n glorified, why nt have it ? ;D
8.Simple case of Split-personality.
Once u gotta behave like a PM, and then, in front of Sonia, u gotta behave like a Deputy PM. This is turning out to be like a Lynch plot.
9.It's their turn now, after so many years. C'mon. With such a deprived and shabby state, let'em have some sponsors and money.Will do a lot of good to boost the morales.Ppl have been moving onto basketball for years now.The cric culture is on the verge of a sloppy death there. Can't let that happen.
And I wudnt worry much abt the timings.It's the pitches and lack of flood-lights & good stadiums & sponsors & infrastructure &... it's not gonna be a visual extravaganza for sure. And let's hope the Indian team doesn't dance to teh Calypso 'Chin' music.
[the anon]
