Smalltalk

I don’t have anything major to write about so I decided to do something I think I’m good at. Make smalltalk! Its fun. It can lead to new friendships and is a handy tool for boredom avoidance. But it can be tough if the other person doesn’t respond. I’m hoping all you readers wouldn’t act like that.

So what better way to start it than talking about the weather! For the past two weeks now, Bangalore has been really wet. And the rain has amazing timing. It starts to rain every time I decide to go out. But I still don’t let the rain ruin my plans.

Also, I have noticed that I am mostly happier when I am alone compared to when I am with people. Not with all people but some of them. Does that mean something? Apart from the fact that I am more fun than those people.

In other unrelated news, I have a doubt in my mind. I wonder if my blog personality runs a risk of coming across as a mimbo. Fortunately, I don’t have any such fears in real life. So what do all of you think?

Update: I think I inadvertently became an accomplice to a suicide yesterday. I was on my my way home when I noticed a cockroach crossing the road. And before I could do anything, it got smashed under the front wheel. Now, this may seem like an accident but think about it. Why does a cockroach need to cross the road? It doesn’t! Which is why I think it was a suicide attempt. And well-timed too! I just hope that the police doesn’t investigate the case.

    That site for the definition of mimbo is blocked here :(

    What is mimbo anyway? A male bimbo? So does that mean that bimbo is just used for females?

    Just doing some smalltalk .. hehe

    @NoName: Hmm, thats good to know! :D

    @freeze: Hmm, try this link then. I’m hoping Wikipedia isn’t blocked. You got it right! And yes, bimbo is just used for women. I heard the term mimbo for the first time in Seinfeld.

    @Both: Read the updated post!

    YOU ARE TOO FUNNY! I love the cockroach story.

    Our weather has been crazy. Its SO cold overnight and in the mornings. I don’t want to ever wake up. All morning, Erica and I cuddle under a blanket while watching TV. Not a good thing at all. BUT THEN, the afternoons get so hot.

    Very weird.

    @Freeze: Ah, you are a fellow cockroach killer too, huh? Great!! :D

    To reach the other side!!

    Come on, I’m sure a cockroach can spend its entire sad little life on one side of the road!

    @Becky: Hehe, thanks! Ya, its pretty similar here. A lot of people don’t even hear their alarms these days :)
