I Think I Should Start a New LOLMom Series

My mother was horrified beyond words that the UPA government won the Trust Vote. On the verge of tears actually. After the speaker announced that the "ayes" had won, my mother turned to me and said" Oh dear so that means that all of the people in the villages will die now??"

Huh?

On further prodding it came to light that she thought the current government wanted to buy nuclear power from USA (or new-cu-lar power according to Bushy George) so that they could ELECTROCUTE the villages of India :O :O

No mamma, not electrocute, ELECTRIFY!! Sheesh Woman! Seriously. I think someday I might die because of my mom......Die laughing that is...:P :D

Under my Umberella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh!!

So after the flash floods last year (or was it the year before last), the BMC started sending out sms-es to the citizens, to warn them of the possibility of floods.

The funniest part of all this is that so far, every time I have got the message of impending doom, the weather has been all sunshine and blue skies!!! Lol.

It's come to a point where if you get an sms from the Municipal Commissioner about a flood threat, you can safely go outside without an umbrella (ella ella! eh eh eh! zomg, I'm so sick of this song and I hate Rihanna!!!)

Somehow, I'm not surprised!! :) Go BMC! (No seriously BMC, go away, far far away)

Update: As of right now (1st July 2008, IST 12.33pm), Bombay is wading in ankle/knee deep waters. Trains are not running, collosal traffic jams on all the major junctions, schools are shut. No BMC msg/bulletin though. :P Why am I not surprised???

Mind of a Woman

(Here's a nice anecdote from Business Leader Magazine. Enjoy!)

A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read. One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and starts to read her new business book.

Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, “Good morning ma’am. What are you doing? “Reading a book,” she replies, (thinking “Isn’t it obvious?”) "You’re in a restricted fishing area,” he informs her. “I’m sorry officer, but I’m not fishing, I’m reading,” she answers. “Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I’ll have to take you in and write you up.”

“If you do that, I’ll have to charge you with sexual assault,” says the woman. “But I haven’t even touched you,” says the game warden. “That’s true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.” After thinking for a moment, the game warden said, “Have a nice day ma’am,” and then left her alone.

MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads…It’s likely she can also think.

Awww......

....my mom is the cutest!!!

My phone was low on balance (as usual!!! :P) and I called my mom up from my friends landline. After the conversation, she asks me how come my name isn't showing on the caller ID?? :O :O :O eerrrr.....coz im calling up from someone else's number maybe??. Well, apparently she though caller IDs are super-machines, who recognise who is calling and not the number they are calling from. So even if someone's number is not registered on the phone, its supposed to display the name of the person who dialled.....

hahahahahahahahahaha.........rotflmao!!

But seriously, maybe she's a woman ahead of her time. Who knows? But till then I'll have a field day laughing at her. You go ma!!
