How to make a word potent…. Anyone??

Happy new year folks…!! Hope u have a wonderful year ahead of you.

For me this one’s goin to pretty much define my path n I wud know that in 9 days from now. i am not assuming anything now. .we all know assumption is the mother of all fuk ups! Nevertheless.. if everything gets messed up, I am goin to become a roadie.. I don give a shit!

Anyways.. really long time since I have been here.. 2008 was a great and interesting year but no blogs to prove that point and 2009 starts off with one on day one. .that’s because this is about something that I just cannot not mention! J so here goes…

Today morning I was a the canteen to get myself a juice to help me out with my diet and I happened to observe a couple of ladies, beside me in the queue, speakin in english. Apparently one f them had not brought some cash that she was supposed to have and the other one was not very appreciative of that fact. So as an alibi for that, the first one went, “yday was salary da na, so there was a loooooooooooooooooooooong line at the ATM”.

Let me tell you…The long was very long indeed! At one point of that long, I started to get the feeling that she wanted to make her friend listen to that long for almost as much time as she had waited there in that queue!! She herself seemd to be in a lot of pain, cos she made the mule face, shut her eyes tight, tilted her head backwards n did what not to pronounce it!!! I knew immediately that the queue would have been excruciatingly painful. But still, the loooooooooooooooong just din fit in!

I was like.. don’t they have a shorter word called “very” that conveys almost the same emotion? It might not be as long as loooooooooooooooong but still she shud start using the substitute. Obviously for that lady, looooooooooooooooong is definitely longer .. much much longer than very long!!

But the fact is, it is the case with almost all of us, especially our women! They kinda think it makes the word impotent unless u stretch it.. n they obviously don seem to like it that way! ‘cos in reply to that, the second lady went, “I know…. it’s sometimes sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo irritating”!!!!

oh fuk yeah, “it was!!”

anyways.. have a wonnnnnnnnnnnnderful new year ladies.

good to start a new year with a blog :)

i think its more common among the women folks than men. you may attribute it to a gender difference or something similar, but there is more of a psychological factor that accounts for this behavior. generally women are emotional, gentle, and sensitive in nature, but also passive and gossipy, whereas men tend to be rather less sensitive, aggressive, and straight forward. If you tend to speak to a man in a very slow and meaningless manner, you're sure to drive him crazy, whereas women love talking of any meaningless things. so ultimately when it comes to a talk, the women tend to speak in a soft and vulnerable manner laying stress on the tone rather than words.
It might not be the case with most of the American women who tend to lay stress more on words rather than tone, but this is again something that can be related to difference in the psyche of Indian and American women.
