Real Life Anecdotes About Words

"An average person speaks around 123 words per minute and a successful salesperson speaks 253 words per minute and my mom speaks 309 words per minute. Now I realize why "mothertongue" is called so."

My 3 year old son's clarity about the words "Breakfast, lunch and dinner" made me embarrassed. I defined my son, "You have to have a light breakfast, heavy lunch and mild dinner". Last week we were having dinner with one of my close relatives and my relative was actually hungry and had ordered a heavy dinner. My son said, "Dad, I think he(my relative) is having lunch, not dinner"

My son saves lot of my energy. He knows exact words and phrases I use when he does a mistake and he says those words and phrases to himself on my behalf. Last evening, he spilt a cup of milk; I looked at him and he continued with a harsh tone to himself, “HOW MANY TIMES DID I TELL YOU TO BE CAREFUL. LOOK, WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. WILL YOU PLEASE BEHAVE YOURSELF?” then, turned towards me and said, “Isn’t it dad?”

Real Life Anecdotes About Facebook

"Time has changed ! Those days, during my childhood, my mom and dad used to yell at me if I write something on the wall. Now, I write so many stuff on the wall (Facebook) and nobody to restrict me."

After almost 6 years I'm back on Facebook. Had a good long break from gadgets. Thinking that my facebook profile would've got deleted, I created another account in Facebook, and guess what, the new account suggested my own old profile under, "people you may know column". I was like, "who is this guy looking just like me"

Facebook doesn't behave what it seems--specially those three moving marks that blink. I wanted to watch one of the videos my friend posted on my wall. I clicked the video, there were three blue marks blinking and moving rapidly. The way it blinked—so fast--I thought the video will be loaded in seconds. But it took 25 minutes to load. Hey blue mark, RELAX! You are not as fast as you think!

 
I like facebook to be more advanced. Like, they could have provided an option of another ‘like’ function so that I can ‘like’ people who ‘like’ my wallposts as I really like these people who ‘like’ my wallposts. But it is unlikely of facebook that they introduce this concept of another ‘like’ function. Perhaps, they like to keep the ‘like’ function as simple as possible like any another social networking sites.

Real Life Anecdotes About Family

I take a moment to thank everyone who "Like" my updates. It is been 4 years now and I've had some very interesting, exciting moments in facebook. My Heartily thanks to my friends and family.

I'm happy that my 8 year old kid is good at geography, it's just that he is learning it inside out. Last week, in a family together, I was getting introduced to a person, I, "Hello, nice to meet you", he, "Nice to meet you too", I, "May I know where are you from?" He, "From Bangalore". As I was brought up in Bangalore, I was curious to know more specifically. I, "Which location in Bangalore?". Meanwhile, my son who was listening to this conversation interrupts, "In Karnataka, obviously"

Thanks to all my friends and family members who wished "Happy Birthday" to me yesterday. And for people who haven't wished me "Happy Birthday" yesterday, I've something to tell you, "Yesterday, was my birthday"...o...ok...ok...I..I...unde...understand...you..fo...forgot to wish ...tha...busy...that's..fine...thanks.

This is what you find in a family man’s bag. I have only one bag, which I use for both personal and official purposes. Today, I was embarrassed because during the regular security check, diapers, kids’ toys, a pair of kids’ sandals, and two baby feeding bottles was found in my bag before entering the office. Now, my office security guards know were I had been with my family last evening.

Today, I'd like to heartfully thank all my facebook friends and family for all the "like" you give me for my updates. Every "like" of yours makes me excited, motivated and update more. Thank you so much:)

As a family, me, my wife, and my children have one common habit. We kick each other in our sleep.

Real Life Anecdotes About Office Printer

My office printer is more like my mom and wife, especially when there is an issue. Like my mom and wife, it starts giving too many instructions during a disaster. Last evening, a paper got jammed in the printer and you should've seen the printer’s attitude, “OPEN the FRONT PANEL”, “ROTATE THE RED SWITCH”, “PULL THE PAPER”, “CLEAN THE LENS”, I mean, why should "I" clean the lens when the PRINTER has problems. So rude!

Offlate my office printer has become too talkative. To print a simple word document, it says, 'No paper in tray 1, pls load any of the trays and press ok', I, 'ok', Printer, 'The paper size not matching, would you like to fix it', I, 'Yes', printer, 'Pls enter password' I, 'Enter', printer, 'Would you like to save the pswd' I, 'No' printer, 'In the future you'll be able to log in automatically, press ok to confirm' I 'Forget it, I don't need any print, I'd rather write the entire document by hand'
