“Hey.. i fel lik wrtn a blg tdy mn… wt cn i psbly wrt on? u r d htsht wrtr, sgst smthn naa…”
“uuhhmmmm……”
If you asked for a penny for my thoughts then you can take your sweet time to cash in. Even if your efforts do not render you fruitless, you will will definitely be left voweless. This is not pejorative me, this is disgusted me.
Fortunately this pandemic has not spread to the vocal media, limiting itself to the texting world and of course the social media, which is basically another launch pad for such fads. The rise of everyone showing everyone else what they are thinking, has inadvertently contributed no doubt. This new hunger for vowels has left syllables in a lurch, as more and more syllables die a silent death each day.
“Arre crsly yr… tl me na, i fel lik wrtn tdy, jst nd d psh”
“A push is all you need. Just call me you are on a nice high cliff or building.”
An insight into the character of such an individual highlights, apart from my joblessness, that the only reason people fall prey to this pandemic is to FIT IN. They kill their originality, and there, rises from the ashes, a requiem for “KEWL”-NESS. Like a multi-syllable word, they ring through the social circles.
I have been to the dark side and back. It is scary. It is alien, “wtr” being the only source of hydration, and being put on a vowel diet all day! Believe you me, the “ppl” there know only hatred towards syllables, its genocide without the i, e, o !! Seriously, someone feed these people words! (woot woot pun!)
“y du u nt lik it yaar, savs so mch tim!”
“I might not be very easy on the clock, but at least i’m easy on the brain.”
Just as you start banging your head on the phone or the computer screen, it gets worse… Now they try to mix the syllable deprived words with Cuban style (and usually thinking they are doing an African impression). What adds to the misery is the fact that they think to carry it off with panache. Constant reality checks just go down in vain as “if thy be doomed by self, thy be doomed forever”, i hope some great guy said that, given my lack of credibility amongst their clique.
“Oh cm on… u cnt ht dis soo mch!?”
“I would love to respond if i knew the question. I can only make so much out of the three comprehendible words, “Oh”, “on”, “so”+o, and the punctuating question mark.”
The world is doomed. The monster has spread, he/she shall soon get to the few syllables remaining in this beautiful world. If you are one of us, please beware. He is coming for us. Its not too lng b4 he ctchs us 2. OMG wts hpnin? NO! nt me! Oh fck!

To screw, or to be screwed, that was the question
“LOL, you felt like the male lead of a porn movie!? XD”
------------------------------------X--------------------------X--------------------------------
In super-Mario there were special floating blocks that spat out gold coins each times they were punched, though even these blocks dried out after a certain number of digs. Always reminds me of certain aspects of the Indian education system. Each time you pick at it, it throws up some astonishing facts, but after all these years of people poking at this, its run dry. Just another cliché topic of a bored blogger. And currently i would place myself amongst the likes mentioned in my previous line!
So what if its the people who can cram enough bookish knowledge into their tiny minds, who succeed. So what if the precious knowledge you gain now does not show immediate returns in terms of grades. So what if you study your ass off for a test only to get screwed over and over again by the questions that require exact replication of lines from the books. So what…… you are the winner in the “long run”!!
------------------------------------X--------------------------X--------------------------------
“But why male lead? He does most of the screwing right? Not getting screwed, he SCREWS!!”
------------------------------------X--------------------------X--------------------------------
I have got to say, i am not planning to “run” that “long”, so yes, grades right NOW are what my primary concern would be. I am not going to take forward this knowledge and pass it on to future generations, like the ancient scriptures, by word of mouth! Its all there to be learnt! Those who want to screw around with everything are most welcome to do so. But what is up with the concept of handing everyone a common set of courses irrespective of interest and aptitude!?
------------------------------------X--------------------------X--------------------------------
“But you got screwed in your tests right? So that, if anything, makes you the female lead of a porn flick!!”
------------------------------------X--------------------------X--------------------------------
The government think that the criterion of a Joint Entrance Examination is sufficient to determine the “creamy layer” of a country! I say “down with monarchy!”… both make equal sense in their respective context. While they might have a perfect logic in a limited sample region, in the larger picture, and this age, they are equally absurd!
------------------------------------X--------------------------X--------------------------------
“NO! A male does the screwing, and the chic gets screwed!! Holy craps that’s sexist!”
------------------------------------X--------------------------X--------------------------------
We have all heard of the butterfly effect. That a butterfly flapping its wings in some corner of the garden can cause hurricanes halfway across the globe. If that were the case with what we all seem to love to talk about, i would see the education system rolling over in its grave at this moment!
But as things stand, nothing has changed after years of beating about the bush by many a bored or frustrated victim of this education fiasco!
R.I.P Common sense and logic,,
------------------------------------X--------------------------X--------------------------------
" P.S. WTF!?! Why the hell are we discussing porn!? :-\ "
