This post is not intended to hurt anyone's feelings. It's purely my mind's rambling; out of impulses born to an inquisitive brain.
Why do fat people always eat 'Lean Cuisine'?
(Don't they know fresh fruits are better than frozen stuff?)
Why do Indian men always want to save, save and nothing but save?
Why do kids always think moms are mean?
Why do DILs always bitch about their MILs and SILs?
Why does fat always settle in unwanted parts of the body?
(I have a huge obsession on staying lean)
Why do people shop things they really don't need?
Why am I sleepy on weekday mornings?
and wake up before sunrise on weekends?
(As if the house is on fire)
Why do people have fat free milk along with bars of paneer
and cans of Ice Cream in their shopping cart?
Why do smart guys always fall for dumb girls?
Why do smart girls fall for bad guys?
Why do people gamble when they know they will lose?
Why is doctors' handwriting never legible?
Why do people park bulldozer sized vehicles in compact parking spaces?
Why is gossip a woman's ornament while men wear it better?
Why does an Indian girl's name always end with an 'i' or 'a' ?
Why is a woman's age and man's pay not be asked?
Why is it fun to break the rules?
Now, why don't I stop ranting and mind my own business?

Hola...chanced upon your blog from somewhere...I live in Folsom too so it will be good to know each other via our blogs :)!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't have an answer to any of your why's but occasional ranting is liberating....so rant away.
Hahaha..world is a small place Shachi...you don't know me but I know you..wondering how? Shachi Thakkar.FolsomIndianMoms...:) You are my first reader from Folsom I believe :) had a quick glance at your blog..Just back from the harvest carnival..will read it in leisure..
DeleteWelcome here and Thank you for stopping by..:)
Dang...may I ask your name? It will be good to meet up sometime.
DeleteLatha..sure, we can :)
DeleteI agree to many like smart guy falling and vice versa and many others too..but saving and Indian men..No all are not like that i am worried about their splurging and I am yet to see a DIL not bitching about her inl;aws:)
ReplyDeleteHappy that you could agree to many, Renu..only few Indian men splurge..at least that's how it is in the US. DILs won't ever..Even if they say they don't, I really won't trust them.. :)
DeleteMost of these don't apply to me. Am I normal? :).
ReplyDeleteNo, you are not normal then..hehe..you are exceptional, Rachna..Take it easy.Each of us are different. I was thinking only about you when I was almost about to publish it..:)
Deletehehe And my husband has been trying to tell me since a long time that I am not normal ;-).
DeleteSee, I confirmed it now ;)
DeleteI am in a rant mood myself. So can't help you with the answers :P
ReplyDeleteBy the way when will you write the second part on your friend? Or have I missed it
Don't worry Bhagya..I don't want answers to these questions anyway..:) OMG, you haven't forgotten about it, I did it long time back, but my friend said it is not interesting, will publish it soon..a million thanks to you for reminding :)
Deletepaneer and fat-free milk....hmmm
ReplyDeleteyou'll find that in my shopping cart too
And yes it is stupid!
hehe..I have seen it so many times in shopping carts and people's fridges too :)
DeleteFunnily true!!
ReplyDeleteVery true..Thanks for agreeing :)
DeleteAha, a colorful, humorous and soul-enhancing rant is a treat to read..At times,the satire and cynicism is just as biting....loved this:)))
ReplyDeleteThat was a very retreating comment Panchali ji ..Thank you so much.. :)I have piled these up one by one over many months.
DeleteThank you Ashwini..seen you after long time..and the bunch of comments I got from you on all the different posts, made my day..Ain't it true? I have seen boxes of ice cream in freezers and avoid cheese altogether..:P
ReplyDeleteRelax, Latha! I don't save. In fact, I have already spent what I may earn up to next 15 years: I have serious overdrafts and mortgages to pay back! :D
ReplyDeleteI do sympathise with your puzzlement and I cannot quote just one of your plaints!
You had me in splits with your reply..lol..you know what you should do? Just switch into IT and come to US, then you'll be one of the men I quoted..hehe..btw, my mama(maternal uncle) is a banker like you who loves photography and always have serious overdrafts.. :D
DeleteFigures! Photography and 'serious overdrafts' are inseparable friends.
DeleteMay be...:)
DeleteWhy is the grass on the other side always green?
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that we want to go on the other side of river?
Why is it that immediately on reaching there we want to come back from where we started?
Why is it that Latha managed to grab the eyeballs for full five minutes:) Nice ones!
Hahah...true sir, true...very much true..I never expected I would come up with so many whys, but it all started with the first question. At work, I noticed sooooo many times, then I kept wondering, why??? Thank you Rahul.
DeleteYep, life is not perfect...why why why.
ReplyDeleteYes Alka, yet we survive despite of all this imperfections and I think that's the beauty of it :)
DeleteI agree with most of your whys :). But I am part of most of them too..Anyway life is not fair that's the lesson learnt over the years:).
ReplyDeleteYou have to girl. You have to...heheh..anyway, why do you say that life's not fair?
DeleteI say life is not fair to this particular why :)
Delete"Why does fat always settle in unwanted parts of the body?"
Hahaha.....true..:)
Deletehaha...lovely set of intriguing whys that dominate our lives..
ReplyDeletebut, I've seen some exceptions to the above whys..like some doctors writing legibly and some smart women marrying smarter men...for the rest...its why o'why :-)))
yes Uma, I have some exceptions too..:) Thank you.
Deletehe he he he I remember I had put something like that ,, on why do people eat a big mac meal but order a DIET coke with it ..
ReplyDeleteand no answer to why is it fun to break rules .. well rules are meant to be broken :) he he heh
Bikram's
heheh...I was waiting for your comment on this one particularly. I thought about you when I wrote the last line abt breaking rules..:P
DeleteMy name does not end with 'i' or 'a' :D and I do agree about the morning story. I do sometime get up way too early on weekends!
ReplyDeleteJaish, yours is an exception..wait, let me change my question to an e too...heheh
DeleteLots of why’s!! Why? :P Just kidding. I know.. so many such questions keep coming to our mind time and again and the mystery of life is we never seem to get answers. ;) We only get more questions. I remember once.. we were in a restaurant and one of our friends ordered: “Dal Makhani without makhan”. :P
ReplyDeleteVery nice list you have got here.Going by this, I might get delisted from Indian men. :P Btw.. really liked this one. “Why is gossip a woman's ornament while men wear it better?” Lovely post.
Lol..dal makhani without makhani..haha..I am more than glad that a man agrees to it, that means you are a gentleman, Raj. :) Thank you..

Why is it that the stupider your actions, more people are around ? :-).... loved the post!
ReplyDeleteHahah....true...I agree...thank u Nirvana
DeleteLOL!!! Why oh mother, why have you given this blog girl so much time to think about this? Make her soo busy that all she can do is do it without question. That saves the rest of us from answering it...-:)
ReplyDeleteHehehahaha....Bhavs, now you are talking like my hubby. Making me busy...you are jealous like him....Lol..thing is, I don't want answers..but still want to make you think about them...:)
DeleteLot of questions we ask ourselves at one time or other. :) Sounded more like reading your own self.
ReplyDeleteThank you Saru..Ya, these questions didn't occur to me at once.. they occurred at different points of time at different instances. :)
DeleteThese questions exist to make finding answers a moment of joy for ever-curious beings, us the humans :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome here and thank you for commenting..yes, our curiousness is amusing at times...:)
