twip said...

antickpix said...

that teaches me to read the title of a post.

i was nonplussed for a minute there.

and as Megha says, you don't need to.

fuck 'em.

i'm a conformist though. and a pacifist.

ah... good question... i think one can if u try hard enough, and it feels kind of nice to be accepted.. but it does get boring after awhile, honestly.

Ms. Lane said...

don't try fitting in you're born to stand out.

EEEEEKS!

Can't believe I actually put this up! I thought it was dream or something.

Crap, it was very late in the night/early in the morning when I wrote this post, so I can't be held responsible for it! I was woozy and heading towards sleep-induced depression so I plead insanity.

I'd delete it too, except that so many people have commented and well... I don't like to delete comments!

Darn.

smoke said...

Ahem. Anyway.

flunky... yes! guess this is about bubbles in a way! And lol, ok. You sound very conformist and pacifist! :P

thanks, punkster. I agree. Guess I don't need to but the desire to fit in is always there. Dunno, must be some flaw in my dna or something! Wish I could be one of those rebels with weird-coloured hair and really loose clothes. A punkster, in fact! :D

if you say so, abhinav! Kinda comforting to hear that actually!

ditto, rini

Abhinav said...

i should elaborate a bit maybe... started getting into the party circuit, spending hours in front of the mirror with the hair gel.. learnt from experience and advice the six easy steps to get a girl's number etc.
and now i'm boooooooooooooooored!

karthik said...

abhu!!!!!!
elaborate on the 6 steps

Anonymous said...

m waiting for a reply to the above..lol

smoke said...

Yes, bated breaths all around, it seems! :D

Abhinav said...

heh, me giving advice on how to talk to women... if my friends could see this...
they call me chandler without the humour, btw.
in any case maybe one tip which i got from ms ruchira hoon - let the girl do all the talking.
from my experience, guys tend to try to impress so they talk and talk, trying to sound intelligent or whatever - when the trick is to ask her questions and let her go.. and something is bound to come up which u can use.. like if she's into art, you can be like, oh, there's a great art exhibition why dont u give me your number and ill msg u when its happening..

or you can just cut it down to one step - jan, why dont u just give the boy your number.

karthik said...

kadi payya!!

smoke said...

Um. I guess I'm supposed to come up with something really witty that would also help me sidestep that request but all i can come up with is:

Abhinav
Poda. :P

Anonymous said...

to abhinav:sorry to be commentin on a comment here jan but i just had to.u think women are that easyy ..maybe some are jus hope not all.u just wanna waltz into a girls life with ur tricks heh..

smoke said...

Oooh, now you've done it, abhinav!

karthik said...

flunky watches the fun from far away

twip said...

Just so you know,

I dont have weird colored hair.

nor do I wear loose fitting clothes.

but I call still pull off being a punk.

:D

karthik said...

i flunk all my exams :(

smoke said...

A new breed of indian punksters, eh, punkster

Aw, never mind, flunky... This name is gonna make you famous so worth flunking, I'd say! ;)

Abhinav said...

jan,
'something really witty that would also help me sidestep that request'... so sad! i make a stupid joke and u happily insulted off eternaly flunky.

rini,
thats only for getting her number...
after that there's the msging and getting to go out somewhere with her, thats pretty tough...
this is only the first step, and it really is that easy.

smoke said...

Now, now, abhinav... don't be mean! I mean, was I supposed to post my number on a public blog. Ok, maybe mine is not THAT public but still... Don't you try to turn this around on me *shakes finger in warning*

:D

antickpix said...

plenty of ppl post numbers on their orkut profiles..

Ms. Lane said...

abhinav: women easy....gaahhhh who have u been seeing dude!!

smoke said...

anticpix... What is this, an ambush? It's moot now anyway...

Abhinav said...

jan,
damn, u saw through my devious plan... oh wait a minute, i already have yr number. i'm confused.

rini,
you dont honestly expect me to answer that on public space do you? tell you what, give me your number and i will tell u privately.

Ms. Lane said...

my no.?!!, well m not that EASY.lol

smoke said...

Ahinav, I meant your "jan, why dont u just give the boy your number" comment anyway.

Smooth talker! ;)

Poshgit said...

hmmm...from 'fitting in' to number exchangin...very interestin conversation goin on here,i must say ;-)

btw,jan,i agree with you...it's all bout 'wants' n 'needs'- people 'want' to fit in but there's really no 'need' to...

smoke said...

Yeah, posh, hit the nail on the head, as usual. :D You're welcome to join in and contribute your phone number too, lol.

Varun B. Krishnan said...

A person i know gives intros like this:

A, meet B. for more details, visit one another's orkut profiles.

(facilitates obtaining numbers too, actually)

karthik said...

very wise friend, vbk..
i sometimes ask them to introduce each other so that if i missed one of their names myself.... okokok!!! so i aint so popular as to get to introduce ppl i dont know, but lemme be ok? damn! cant let a lying dog lie can u?! pah!

smoke said...

Hehehe.

All this from a measly two lined post written in the wee hours of the morning with slight traces of dementia. My blog's come a looong way!

karthik said...
