Ways to look busy in the office..

Hi...Wanna be the most hardworking guy in office?? Naa.. I am sure u dont.. But hey, you can atleast look like the most hardworking guy around, right?? Follow my lead... Read on.. :D This is strictly copyright and copywronged by me.. But u can feel free to use it in ur office. Any vilaivugals coming out of following cannot be attributed to me! Follow the white rabbit....

* Stare at the monitor and scratch your chin. Repeat this every 10 minutes.

* Stretch your arms every 5 minutes and say "ooof"...

* If u are working for a software company, keep some geeky websites like google.com and slashdot.com open.

* Every one hour, get up and go to the opposite end of your floor. You must make sure that you walk very fast (as if u are going for an appointment or something). When you reach the other end of the floor, act as if u forgot something and walk faster to your place. This will make on-lookers think you are a very busy person.

* Use words like "Oh Man!!", "Damn", "Stupid Computer.. Its hampering my work" every half hour.

* While talking to colleagues, use big big words like "productivity", "integrity", "work-life balance", "constructors and destructors", "smart pointers" etc. Make it sound as if you know what all those things mean!

* Every one hour, stare at the wall for 10 mins and act as if you are contemplating something. Youcan use this time to think about Ash..

* Open Microsoft Outlook and start typing a long mail. Make sure you use a lot of colors and use different types of fonts. The mail should be no lesser than 50 lines. After composing the mail, run spell-check in it. Correct every mistake that it shows up and make sure the email is proper. After doing all that, send the email to yourself.

* Once you get the email, you can start pretending as if you have just received a very important email and you can spend 15 minutes reading that!!!

* Set up "caller tunes" on ur mobile phone and keep ur mobile in silent mode. Then pick up your office phone and dial your mobile's number and spend some time listening to the song! Paatu keta maathirium irukkum , people will also think that you are engaged in some T-Con.

* Go to your neighbor everyone hour and see what he is doing. Make some nasty comments about the quality of his work.

* Ping someone on the internal messenger and when he replies, say "Just checking if you were there"..

* Bang your desk twice a day and swear!!!

Do all this and you will look like the busiest guy in office!!! Enjoy maadi! :D

Whoosh.

SN-113.

"Angels and Demons? Interesting book, isnt it?"
"Yeah, am just half way through it.. Dan Brown's masterpiece, dont u think?"
"I dont know. I havent read it. I just thought it would be a nice pick up line." :)
"Haha.. "
"I am Siddarth".
"Hi, I am Shreya."

Air Sukkan flight SN-113 to Chennai is delayed by an hour. Air Sukkan apologises for the inconvenience...

"Yeah Right."
"Are you flying to Chennai too?"
"Yes I am.."
"It is delayed by just an hour.. that's normal isnt it.."
"Yeah, i guess so.."
"You looked disturbed all of a sudden"...

Siddarth began to sweat.. He was late. He had accounted for flight delays but an hour's delay for a domestic flight was a bit too much.. He checked his coat pocket.. It was still there..

"So, whats the book about?"
"Its a sort of a prequel to the 'Da Vinci Code', you can say"
"Well, never read that book either :D"
"So, what do you do?"
"I am a software engineer here in bangalore"....

All passengers of Air Succan SN-113 please proceed towards security check and await further information...

"Thats us.. Shall we go"
"Ya, lets beat the queue :) "...

Shreya picked up her handbag and proceeded towards security check. Siddarth bent to pick up his luggage and something from his coat pocket fell down. He immediately picked it and stashed it in before anyone could see it.. He couldnt let go of it.. It was his life..

Shreya walked into the metal detector.. *Beep*... She was taken aside for the customary frisk in the kiosk.. She placed her hand bag into the x-ray device and the book on the table nearby and entered the frisking kiosk.. She came out a minute later, picked up her handbag and the book and waited for Siddarth to finish the security check...

The line for the guys was longer and Siddarth had to wait a while , growing nervous by the minute. Shreya couldnt understand his nervousness.. "First time on the flight, probably" she thought.

Siddarth walked into the metal detector.. *Beep*... He was asked to come over for the customary frisk. He passed his coat into the x-ray device and he went over to the police guy to get frisked. He came out a minute later; picked up his coat and joined Shreya at the seating area..

"First time on the flight, is it? You look pretty nervous."
"Well, no.. I need to be somewhere in a couple of hour's time. I am just hoping I make it"
"Dont worry, you surely will make it in time"

Air Sukkan announces the immediate departure of its flight SN-113 to Chennai. Passengers are requested to move through Gate 2 and proceed towards the air-craft. Air Sukkan wishes its Chennai bound passengers a very safe and a happy journey.

Shreya and Siddarth boarded the plane and found an empty pair of seats, Shreya near the window and Siddarth in the aisle. The plane was empty. There were hardly 10 people in the flight. Five minutes later, the plane took-off..

"Hey, I need to visit the loo... I'll be back soon"..
"So do I...", she said winking..

Siddarth unbuckled the seat belt and proceeded towards the loo. Shreya followed him with a smirk on her face. Siddarth entered the loo and before he could lock the door, Shreya entered the same toilet... *BANG*... The silencer muffled the gun's signature....

Two hours ago...

"You sure you know him??"
"Yes, I have seen his photo.."
"Alrite, he must be somewhere in the waiting area.. Find him.. I need that memory stick.."
"Ok.."

She walked into the airport with grace and poise and located Siddarth sitting in front of the Coffee and Stories coffee pub.. She sat next to him and opened her copy of "Angels and Demons"..

"Angels and Demons? Interesting book, isnt it?"
"Yeah, am just half way through it.. Dan Brown's masterpiece, dont u think?".....

Siddarth didnt notice the hollow compartment in the book... THAT would be his nemesis..

Air Sukkan flight SN-113 to Chennai is delayed by an hour. Air Sukkan apologises for the inconvenience...

Siddarth's conference would start in Chennai in under two hours. Being the principal speaker, the flight delay didnt help.. He grew nervous.. The contents of the memory stick had to be explained to the professors he was about to meet. This would be the only opportunity he got. His entire life's work was in it. He checked his coat pocket. The memory stick was still there..

All passengers of Air Succan SN-113 please proceed towards security check and await further information..

Shreya walked into the metal detector.. *Beep*... The Beep was for the gun hidden in the book compartment, but as is usually the case, it was mistaken for some jewellery. She was taken aside for the customary frisk in the kiosk.. She placed her hand bag into the x-ray device and the book on the table nearby and entered the frisking kiosk.. She came out a minute later, picked up her handbag and the book and waited for Siddarth to finish the security check...

The flight took off un-eventfully. Ten minutes before landing, Siddarth unbuckled the seat belt and proceeded towards the loo. Shreya followed him with a smirk on her face. Siddarth entered the loo and before he could lock the door, Shreya entered the same toilet... A surprised Siddarth turned around to face the barrell of a gun. *BANG*...

Blood oozed out from the forehead of Siddarth.. Shreya was a perfect marks-woman. A pool of blood started forming near his body. She searched his clothes for the memory-stick. She found it in the coat pocket. She returned to her seat to hear the Air-hostess' orders to prepare for landing.

We will be reaching Chennai soon.. Please fasten your seatbelts, chairs in the up-right position, tray tables closed and the window blinds up.. Thank you for choosing Air Sukkan and we hope to serve you again in the near future.

Omdhu Masala Dosa....

Have u been to these hotels where they have this "Today's Special" on the menu?? I have never quite been able to figure out the rationale behind this "today's special" statement? What do they mean by saying that something is "special" that day? Does it mean that they wilfully dont make it properly on the other days and they do it properly on that day alone?? Or does it mean that if u order that item, it would be brought to u immediately as they have already cooked it (thereby giving u some stale food), or does it mean that they will be charging more for that item that day just for the heck of it?? Help me understand...

Am sure all u guys out there would immediately connect with it.. And for all you girls who wondered what your high school crushes were doing over the weekend, here'z a little something...

Street Cricket is also known for its amusing usage of terms, a few of which are given below.

Mattai - Etymology Tamil - The piece of wood to be used as the cricket bat. Need not confirm to geometrical trivialities.

Gaaji - Etymology Unkown - The indian reference for an 'inning'. It is a well known fact that captains of street cricket teams always prefer to bat first irrespective of conditions.

Double Gaaji - Etymology Unkown - An excpetional scenario wherein a batsman can bat twice if there are a shortage of players in the side.

Osi Gaaji - Etymology Unkown - A scenario where some stranger wants to bat for a couple of balls just for fun and then carry on with his work

Last Man Gaaji - Etymology partly english- A scenario where the last man who is not out with all wickets down gets to play "Gaaji" with no runner. It must be noted that, the fielding team can effect run outs on both the stumps when there is L! ast Man Gaaji

Current - Etymology English - The unique and distinctive way of getting a batsman run out. When a batsman attempts a dangerous run, He could be run out by any of the fielders who just need to land their feet on the stone at the bowlers end.

Adetail - Etymology English - The most funny reference to a batsman being 'Retired Hurt'. [Derived from: At the Tail]

Return Declare - Etymology Unkown - Same as 'Adetail'. But sometimes used, when a batsman crosses a stipulated number of runs say 20 or bats for stipulated number of balls so that others can get a share of "gaaji"ing

Bongu - Etymology Tamil - The slang word used if a team unfairly cheats the other team while playing.

Full Cover - Etymology English - A situation where in a batsmen is taking a half stump guard thereby covering the complete stumps from the view of the bowler. Since stre! et cricket typically do not have a LBW it is very difficult to get a batsman out, if he covers the stump fully

One pitch catch - Etymology English - A rule where a batsman gets out when a fielder catches it even after the ball pitches once. Typically street cricket batsmen do not go for lofted shots fearing to get out (refer the first paragraphy to know why lofted shots are not allowed in street cricket)

One pitch one hand - Etymology English - A slight modification of the above rule where a fielder can use both hands if catching the ball full toss, but has to use only one hand, if the catch is "one-pitch". Typically used to increase the chances of batsmans survival

Sundu - Etymology Tamil- A great forefather of the now popular "super-sub" rule, this rule can be used if a Sothai (poor or bad) batsman's innings has to be played by a good batsman

La Ball - Etymology Tanglish - Last ball of an over

Full fast - Etymology English - Since street cricket pitches are a few yards long, a ball which is thrown with full pace and energy is considered a no ball as it will be impossible to handle such pace with short distance

Thuchees - Etymology Unknown- When batsman/any fielder gets distracted from the game due to highly technical reasons like a vehicle crossing the road when a ball is bowled (with the pitch perpendicular to the road)

Waiteees - Etymology Unknown- Same as 'Thuchees'

Common Fielding - Etymology English- Due to lack of number of fielders, it is possible that people from batting team who are not actually doing batting have to field or do wicket keeping or for that matter even umpiring

Ball Right - Etymology English- When a umpire/batsman declares a wide ball, bowler uses this term to say that the ball was not a wid! e. Typically happens because umpires are from the batting teams.

Dokku - Etymology Unknown- A derogatory term for a defensive shot. Typically a batsman is discouraged from playing such shots because of the constraints of less number of overs and because everyone in the team needs to have a fair amount of gaaji

Baby Over - Etymology English- When a bowler has no hopes of completing his over with lots of wides and no balls he is substituted by a better bowler and the over is called a Baby over, Baby because the first bowler was very amateur

Chain Over - Etymology English- When a bowler bowls two continuous overs. Typically happens when captains fail to calculate correctly the number of overs in the absence of electronic score cards

Uruturadhu - Etymology Tamil- When the bowler is unable to extract any meaningful bounce from the pitch. Sometimes used as a defensive tactic t! owards the deck.

Thadavuradhu - Etymology Tamil- (In the context of cricket) When a batsman is not able to make any contact with the ball using his bat.

Suthuradhu - Etymology Tamil- Same as slogging in cricket towards the deck.

Avishot - Etymology English- Appeal to Umpire for out(run out, catch, etc)

One Side Runs - Etymology English- When teams decide before hand that there are runs only on one side of the wicket due to lack of sufficient number of fielders

Granted - Etymology English- When a batsman hits a reasonable distance from which fetching the ball back is slightly difficult due to technical difficulties already mentioned (like vehicle crossing a road, presence of a thorny bush etc), teams agree that a fixed number of runs are GRANTED

Trials - Etymology English- This is the first ball bowled in the match and it ! is called trials. It is used to gauge the pace and bounce of the pitch and the ball by both batsman and the bowler. Note: The batsman is not supposed to hit this ball, else the fielding will demand him to go and fetch the ball. It's a kind of tactic by the fileding team to not allow the batsman to free his arms.

All-reals..first ball - Etymology English- This indicates the start of the match. Usually the batsman prefer to play "dokku".

Hit the bats after each ball (no term used) - This is the usual practice followed by the batsmen in the middle. This gives little time to take breath and also signal for a quick signal in the next ball. The best part is even if they dont want to discuss anything, they still need to hit the bats. If they miss or doesn't do it properly, they have to come back and make sure that they hit properly. Nice practice.

I think the last one takes the cake!!! I myself have done that so many times not knowing why I had to do it!!! :)
