I know this is juvenile and some might even consider this blasphemous. But this goes to everyone from my generation who saw Mahabharat and Ramayana on Doordarshan and had trouble distinguishing between gadha and gada, two phonetically similar Hindi words with meanings that couldn’t be more different.

Do your eyes hurt from making pages on Quark Express?

Do your eyes water when you sub public-sandaas dirty copies from stringers?

Do you mistake cyan for blue, red for pink and lemon for green while choosing those godforsaken colours on the stylesheet?

Fear not!

The simple Sub Terrain — Eye Test For Sub-Editors © will tell you if you need to get your eyes checked or not!

Just refer to the image above: do you see the word “champ” written on it?

No?

You need to see an eye doctor, my friend!

Hurry!

Tell your other sub-editor friends if they need to see the doc.

The male mind

Me: Yaar, who’s that woman on your desk… with the curly hair and black glasses? I said ‘hi’ to her yesterday and then I realised I had forgotten her name.

S:The name’s XXXXXX YYYYY.

Me:Oh yeah. Forgot her name actually.

S:What about her?

Me: No No… I saw her at our XXX office yesterday and said hi and all. Then I realised I don’t remember her name. Which is kind of embarrassing.

S:It’s not… Imagine if she was a guy, and not very attractive at that, would you be embarrassed?

Me: Yes… it has happened very frequently.

S:Congratulations, you are a nice guy.

Me: Har har har.

S:(And a follower of the Bajrang Dal also!)

Me: ROTF LMBO!

Winter

To an outsider, the cold in Delhi can be depressing. The body may not not adjust easily; 11 am becomes the new 6 am.

Everyday, the day threatens to start. Afternoons feel like mornings. Just when you think the sun would now shine full bloom, on comes darkness.

To quote Calvin, sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in a day.

I’ve ever seen that on an application form before.

I was applying online for a passport when I discovered this very interesting option.

Give me a peek
Give me a peek
Give me a peek
Give me a peek
One time come come come come come.
One time come come come come come.
One time come come come come come.
One time come come come come come.

This completely makes my day!
