My first blog post...

I recently found this written on a piece of paper. I can't remember when or why I wrote it. Must have had an interesting meeting with someone for sure ;) Read on...


Writing a blog can be a difficult exercise, especially when you sit down to write your first article and really want to make a good impression.
There are times, when after meeting someone, you feel as if you very extremely vociferous, and don’t even remember the other person speaking. I personally feel like a complete doof at such times. Unfortunately, I completely fail to check myself when I’m actually in action, blabbering away. Its only when you are departing and think of something nice to say, “It was nice talking to you”.. maybe.. Hardly. I was talking to my self all the time, oh no, I didn’t let him/her speak at all. Yes, this is the time it sets in. You didn’t let them speak. So now I slip into self evaluation mode.
I frantically try to recall the entire meeting, scouring my 4 bit memory for traces of what they may have said, and strangely, somehow, when in this mode, your memory will almost always fail you. So now you start thinking of plausible explanations for having spoken as much as you have.
Is it fair to assume that they were so interested that they did not want to interrupt, or were they thinking.. God this guy is so vain, he just cant stop talking..

As you can make out, he does have a intelligent sense of humor.

Other talents of Gauri include :
1. The ability to digitally sign PDF documents by hand, and I mean opening the PDF in a binary editor and typing in the hash.
2. Standing on the net at the Volleyball court in a everlasting wait for the ball to come at a smashable height.
3. Shouting "Bana ke de" बाना के दे, once in a while, while waiting.
4. Jumping and punching a ball into the net when it does not come at the desired height for a long time.
5. Sleeping with his eyes open on the office chair, with his hands on the keyboard, fingers twitching periodically.
6. Going into 3 hours of silent zombie mode at the mere mention of the love interest we forced upon him.
7. Generally being part of the gang come what may.
8. Taking the initiative to take my case, despite a history of no success (I'm asking for trouble)
And many others....
