Hi guys,
This time around I want to focus on an integral part of my life , the number of questions that are irrelevant or just plain stupid and are asked everyday , without the slightest consideration towards my mood , situation, time of the day or simply how stupid the question really is . I sometimes wonder whether it is done in earnest or with a certain purpose. The questions for example would be, on a train from Pune to Mumbai ," Of to Mumbai then?'' or
Q:" Having you been watching the game ?"
A:"Yes"
Q:"Do you know the score ?"
followed by
Q:"Why are you laughing?"
in this sequence would it be considered rude to say why I am?
surely its alright if the questions are !
Very recently I was amused once again when I got to see such an exchange on a social networking site where one friend , a keen photographer was asked by another friend, why she is not in the pictures?
so what do these questions really deserve? understanding ? sympathy ? a sense of very dry humour ? or a rap on the back of the head?
your choice is as good mine, well all of them at times , my favourite though is the last one , as I understand this to be a very conscious conspiracy towards causing a big swing in my mood and then I can get even , if not I am still doing what I enjoy most , laughing.....
One of these days , I want to have a small competition , like they do on Tele and invite people to post their most 'promising' questions or the ones that they have encountered,
get the top three and hand out trophies for the most remarkable ones yet.
We all ask these questions but now that I am aware of their potential , I try my best to refrain from providing entertainment and remain inconspicuous by being silent.
Having said this, I am fully aware of the fact that without these ' moments of brilliance' my life will be thoroughly and surely very mundane and boring and that without these questions 'my' answers mean absolutely nothing...........Just thoughts.

gosh if i had to rap you on your head for every one of your silly questions..you'd have a dent by now...
ReplyDeletefind humour where you can..one person's silly question may be profound to another...
I agree with Shilpa...I think if you are laughing it off... that's right...
ReplyDeleteBut i think its just a way to start a conversation specially done by people who have just met you... In a good mood you may be finding it funny, but trust me when ur not in a good mood it could be very annoying :)
Enjoy...
