Sixty Seconds of fame....

Some quickbite incidents which held me in the limelight for a very short while...

1) I have this fight with one of my male friends as to who has to pay the bill at the local canteen (That is bcos just a short while ago the guys with whom I was having a small get2gether boasted that gals always stick with guys only for their money, Well I wanted to teach them a lesson), It definitely created a scene bcos, my friend angry that I was paying, gave a small push and that went a long way in helping me fall down right in front of 20 people. I get up with a silly grin on my face and trot to the counter and ask how much...

2) First day at the 3 star hotel where we were put up as part of the training program for GETs/MTs. At the breakfast table... Me playing that sophisticated gal part with the fork in my right hand :) trying to eat the boiled egg, which was ever slipping from the fork before it went to my mouth. I quickly see around to find if anyone is noticing me...No-one..I pick the egg piece and put in my mouth with my hands, only to find that 2 waiters were watching and giggling. Hmphh!

3)First time I was to use the ATM, I read the instructions the previous night twice, thrice. Keep all papers ready before entering the ATM enclosure (even the letter from the bank which accompanied the card and the secret code letter and other pharaphernalia which I thought were important and which is not worth metioning here) I swipe the card for the umpteenth time, Iam worried that it is not working and then a long queue has already formed. The guard steps in impatiently and tells me aloud as to how to use it with the door kept open and some 10 odd faces staring at me...

Now that Iam penning down all my embarassing events in my life, it gives me a good feeling that if at all there would be a competition titled Ms Clumsy, Iam sure to bag it....

well, so no more 'madam', actually that word gives a easy way to start any topic...

a. whatever reason the guy should not have pushed u.

b. even i had that problem ...i had to eat a omlette with fork and knife with cornflakes..in breakfast and nothing else...i never had that kind of food..and cornflakes...definetly was embarrasing..tried a bit...was slow...hence finally went with my natural way..same things happened when i went first in flight..then later got used to it....but i have seen ...not many big people follow the rules...they do whichever is comfortable...hence i have left bothering about these things anymore....

c. ATM one was good...its common with almost everywhere...in ICICI tehre are some where slots and somewhere only swipe ...were a definite brain teasers like some puzzles...are u talking about the ICICI ATM near Tirovottiyur near Royal Enfield Plant...because i started their only...only to know that my company has not credited my salary...very frustating..

and without these things what life is....so it is not that easy to win 'Ms.Clumsy' title..

I liked the 3 star hotel event. I was just imagining how your face was, after you saw those waiters were watching you. When something can go wrong, it definitely goes wrong. :-)

Shiva said...

Thanks Senthil, It sure is interesting and since I have a bad memory I would like to pen down such things so that in future I can read these blogs to my grandchildren, I think that is too far fledged I guess ;)
