Posted by Tony Sebastian who does have a life. Really!
Hey! Check out this really awesome crossword clue which Vinod made – Mum up-to-date about IT recession (8)
Oh she knows?
Eh?
Your mum knows about the current recession? She’d be worried sick, right?
What does that have to do with anything?
You said “Mum up-to-date about IT recession”
Yes it’s a cryptic clue! Up-to-date = RECENT, IT recession = TI. The answer is RE{TI}CENT.
Oh and Mum?
Mum as in……
Mum as in?
Mum as in….
As in what? You’re not saying anything!
That’s precisely the point! Mum as in silent
Oh! Quiet?
Quiet
Quiet! Nice!
Quite nice, yes.
I thought it was like Aamir As,in Ghajini hehe
Eh? You see, a cryptic crossword is like the girl you court. Initially, you know nothing. But there is something enchantingly beautiful about her. You don’t understand what she says, you don’t understand the signals she’s giving you, but you persevere… and before you know it, you are stuck with her for life! Now you understand bits and pieces of what she says, like when she says “no….” she means “yes!” And when she says “mum” she means “mum”. Still, she’s quite the puzzle.
*Snore*
Sigh! You fail to see the beauty? I have an amateurish presentation which I whipped up sometime back; it might help you fall in love with cryptics.
No thank you! But tell me, when did you get rejected?
Eh? I’ve never been rejected… er except when I used to play basketball, but that’s beside the point.
Well then what’s with the relationship analogy and all? You hooked up with someone?
I can’t have a girlfriend… how can the best have a better half?
Yeah right! Let’s face the facts, you can’t get a girl. Period!
Are you kidding me? “It” means sex appeal and I am an IT professional!
Whatever!
What’s more, CODERS and SCORED are anagrams! We’re naturals at getting laid.
At getting laid off you mean.
Haha very funny! I can go over there and ask that girl out right now.
What will you go ask her “I don’t have a life, can I share yours?”
Hey! I do have a life!
Raaaaight!
Um…where do you stay?
Koramangala 4th block.
Oh okay, own house?
No no mad or what? Rented apartment. It’s got hardly any room
Ah like a condominimum eh?
Very funny! How’s your work?
Work is okay, it keeps the food on the table
Eh? You are a waiter?
Grrr! No, but come to think of it, I do work with servers.
So why don’t you switch to something else?
WHAT! Leave my job? Are you crazy!
But I thought you wanted to be in ads or something? Or make crosswords?
I like doing those things because that’s not what I’m supposed to do. If it’s a responsibility for which I earn much much less than what I do now, I’d start hating it. Don’t you get it? The grass is always greener on the other side. We all go through this.
Ah! So you just write random stuff on your blog?
Don’t talk about the blog man, I just found out that my Dad reads it.
WHAT? So he disowned you?
No no Dad is a really cool guy.
You sly fox! You are gonna blog this aren’t you?
I have no idea what you are talking about ;)
So you like your job? You are good at it?
Well, I feel quite dumb at times. Not that I could have expected much else - from NITW-IT is quite the recipe for disaster.
Speaking of recipes, I’d certainly like to know who made this awful culinary concoction. I’d like to see him eat it.
LOL Feedback huh? I think it tastes okay.
Oh what do you know about food? How much do you weigh? 38?
No 38 is your waist size! You are fat and disgusting – you are abdomenable!
Ok I think I should push.
Oh wait don’t go! Vijay said he’d be coming over.
No, he just messaged me, He is at his girlfriend’s place apparently, and he won’t make it.
Oh! So where are you going? I’ll come along.
Sure, Gaurav and I are going to check out this new pub with some girls from my workplace.
Oh, but I don’t drink.
You can always start.
Eh? No, no no… I’ll just go do er.. um… I’ll go home.
You wanna do some hookah?
Dude! I maybe a corporate whore, but I’m not that shallow!
Eh? Not hooker, hookah.
hookAH! No not interested.
No girls, no booze, no smoke. So what do you do on weekends?
Oh, you know… I just er.. um… Ah! The cheque is here, I’ll pay
Alright I’m off, nice meeting you!
Bye! But what exactly do I do after work hours….? *scratches head*
