parody's of a jeune fille.!!
long long time back (ok not AD times!) a Dad walked around a gizmo store looking at all the different PC's on display...he looked at it with dreams in his eyes,he imagined his young daughter writting complicated C algo and helpin companies develop some great big contraptions that mankind has never seen.. he wanted her to become like him..! cogitating these wonderful thoughts he packed the PC and flew back to india..!
the little girl was dumbfounded after seeing this strange thing,but she preferred the TV over the PC..the dad went about explaining all the different wonderful things a PC could do,but the girl was completely oblivious and kept wondering wht this beast was doing on her study table.. sud-suddenly.."my booksssssss"...." where are my books?? "..the books were packed in the empty computer cartons and hived away in some safe corner.!
the following day with nothing substantial to do the girl decided to explore MS Word n Excel..she soon developed a hatred towards the big long "space" key, so she pulled it out and threw it on the floor, then the long row of F1,F2,F3 etc etc keys started bothering her cos she didnt know wht purpose it served(she still doesn't!) and went about the ardous task of pulling all the F keys(F keys..ahh i like the sound of it!!) and hurling it on the floor, 1,2,3,A,B,C and all the other keys met the similar fate and the floor looked like somebody had spilled alphabet soup..!
the dad realised one thing :: his little girl will have lotta problems writing "Hello World" .! boo-hoo!
the girl finished school as a mediocre educatee(she couldn't catch the colors,they were flyin too high!).. all around her people where talking a strange word "engineering",but being a bon vivant she wanted to become a chef(and the greatest one.!) or a writer or a professional bathroom singer..she mooted this idea but got some appalling responses "i'll teach you cooking,dnt ve to go to college for that","have u ever heard of an engg marryin a cook?","wht will all the ammama's and appapan's think?" blah blah blah..
i went ahead and joined BMS much to the amusement of my admonishing uncles ,aunts ,god-parents ,granparents, neighbours, Sister Susan, Principal RaviSingh and my sunday school teacher Father Edward.! those 4 yrs went like a whirlwind and never once did we touch our books let alone a PC..after stepping out i heard another strange word "software industry" ..this strange land beckoned me for i heard things like "fat wallet","trips abroad","saturday off"...hee-hoo..! just like the other denizens i too jumped into this bandwagon..!
arahhghhh..!! those keys which i had hurled on the ground had risen like a phoenix ,and came to haunt me.. they came tagged with a strange word CMLP.! $%^#$%.. sleepless nights punching all the bloody keys visible to the eye..man i should ve been nice to them 6 yrs back.!
all the keys on the keyboard,
i dnt know what im doing and im soo soo bored,
then came a man with a cigarette in his hand,
he looked at us n waved a C-Linux magic wand.!
confusing problems to solve, test cases to pass,
i looked straight into his eyes and said "you can kiss my ass"!
well off course i didnt say that.! but my hatred towards the keys is deep-rooted.!
(i stayed back home today.! oprah winfrey show + wonder years in the morning,movie planned for the afternoon and badminton in the evening.! ahhh.!! fish curry+rice for lunch..yum,yum and what does the food-court menu read today.??*wicked grin*..othala gang,ha ha ha.!)

ReplyDeletea real treat, your posts are! :D
Ok I gotta admit this atlast... I am becoming a big time fan of your writing!! ( your poetic touch is mesmerizing )
ReplyDeleteAlso I dont know if you really did spill that alphabet soup, but even if you write it, I am gonna believe it.. ( and I too had once wondered the nomenclature of "F keys".... why all are behind the magic of F... why not any other letter.. ABCD..Z ) but as it turned out, the F(1) keys saves your @$#(&*^#$# from $#($^*#$#!!!
