The Humor Quotient

Experiences of people trying to crack jokes fades away in air with hardly no reaction from the audience is something that's not new to one and all. Just turning back on our own experiences, not all our humor tries have been a hit, but one or two rarely without our notice comes to limelight. Confused about what the writer is talking about, is the subject "The Humor Quotient".

Once I had myself placed in an elderly gang, guys of the age 30's and me in my prime 20's. There was a range of discussion going on, me hardly trying to have a say. I started observing each folks and noticed a senior member keeping calm. Assuming him to be a reserved guy but brilliant as his looks portray him to be. The topic revolved around girls and ragging during college time. The discussion came to a halt all of a sudden and here entered the senior guy.

"You know what, I ragged a girl and it was much fun. I gave her fifty paise and made her buy a chocolate and she bought it for me. Interesting girl she was", he blurted out laughing. All the other guys joined the laughter making me wonder whether the topic was really on ragging.

Giving a talk about a topic is something complex within itself. To an unknown audience they say the theory of "Ice Breaker", which literally means to get to know the audience better in the limited time. The best method to implement this to the fullest effect is to crack a joke, expert's advice.

Happened to sit in one such workshop on Water treatment, the speaker a gigantic figure happened to precede over it. The talk commenced, " Water is the most essential component in our daily life. Even without food we can manage but water cannot be done so". I had a skeptical idea about his saying. "If water is wasted then it is an error. He scribbled on the board,

                                                                     Before Treatment: (Wat.(Erorr)..).
                                                                     After Treatment:    (WatEr).(orr)

So that is the effectiveness of the treatment". The audience gave a huge round of applause for bringing the point of the entire session in a jist, so easily comprehendable. The audience all had a glass of water in front of them and some randomly had a sip.

The speaker continued" Now the water in front of you, which you all drank is not treated. But if you use our system we can assure it will be hundred percent pure".

There was a range of coughs and vomits when the speaker cleared his throat and said "Just Joking".

The rest of the day I feared to have a drop of water in my place.

The effect of Humor Quotient is very unpredictable. Never do we know where the joke we intend to crack, will land us in.
That comes to an end of a post.
Phew! Managed to write onepost.

P.S. Hope there was enough content in this article to make you sleep. Will update one more before you all wake up. Until then Stay Tuned. (tried to crack a joke do smile!!).

The Shopper

Hello folks. It has been a while since writing a post in my blog. This time I am with a topic, something general and an experience which I had in the recent days. Frankly there are two kinds of shoppers. One kind, is where people have abundant money and purchase. The other kind, don't have money but have a glance as to how much they need to earn to purchase the item.

I belong to the later category. This was the predefined notion with which I approached my first shopping stint, with enough bucks and having an eye on and only on discounts. The happening mall at the Chennai city, was my destination. All brands from Allen Solly to Arrows were on display with discount up to 50 percent. I smiled to myself thanking the heavens for such an offer in front of my eyes. "I am ruling the roost today", thought I.

"Sir, Actually the collections to your left has 50% discount the rest the market prices", replied the sales guy there. Bewildered I looked at the collection there and hardly ten pieces were available. My annoyance knew no bounds.The shopper's first stop was not up to the mark. "So what?", though the shopper, there are so many stores.

Some five stores had gone by, like this taking an hours time. Body cramps started taking its toll. "Look, I know your sales manager of this particular store and he told there is an exclusive discount for me. Kindly check and tell me how much discount can you provide. I am your VVIP customer", A guy was arguing with the shopper, giving an expression of utter belief. I thought it as a technique and had an idea to try it in another store.

Choosing an item, having a 40% off and trying to push it to 50%, I signaled a sales guy and remembering the method, " Is there only 40 % discount can you push it to 50%. I know the sales head of your store". "Sir I am the sales head of the store!". Then I happened to check out the name of the store and replied " Sorry, wrong store,anyways nice meeting you." I managed to escape the scenario. Phew!!

Three hours have passed and I managed to buy couple of shirts and a pant managing a discount overall. I managed to smirk, "dude you have got something now head home", and off I flew to show my mom and dad the collection.

"You already have one of those, Why did you buy the same color. A very worst shopper you are. Next time take someone else for shopping, else you will waste money".

Five hours of effort, yielded me this opinion. I concluded, Shopper's how do you manage Shopping!!
