SMART ASS LANGUAGE ON FACEBOOK!

A member of the Ass family - which comprises of Dumb Ass,Wise Ass,Smart Ass, Lazy Ass - is the Smart Ass. I, for one, do notice the usage of Smart Ass language on these social networking sites, for instance - Facebook.
Anyone can recognize this member of the Ass family. All it requires is some pointers.
All those who comment on EACH and EVERY photo of someone in their friends' network, just to show to the world that, "OMG,WE are such great friends!", irrespective of the fact that the person whose photos are commented upon, NEVER EVER bothers to reply to those comments.SO MUCH SO for their friendship! THESE people are permanent members of the SMART ASS CLUB.Welcome.
Next category is of those who may be termed as temporary members. THEY generally use their PATENTED club language religiously, though somewhat sparingly. In course of their usual parlance, they use the following forms of the English Language : "I Like" - Common comment on some photo appreciated by such member, used generally in place of "nice photo,looking cute" etc etc. But seriously, does anyone care if YOU LIKE or not, because if anyone did infact care, they would atleast bother to respond to your open admission of such liking!
Another common terminology of such people is "amaaaazinggg pic...luuuuuuuuuv" used to depict how much love they have for each other. A similar phrase is "muuaaahhh", giving a virtual kiss for putting up the photo!
These are just a few of the common terminologies.
AND, if the above two categories are combined, then you get what can be termed as a LIFETIME MEMBER of the club.CONGRATULATIONS.

"Just Friends"

Public Display of Affection (Or PDA as it is commonly known) is, well, as is self evident - a public display of affection. There was a time when this phrase was more commonly used for lovers! (And not for the "Just Friends" category of people). However, with time, even its connotations have greatly changed, keeping into account the changing trends! A publicly given hug or public holding of hands or publicly keeping one's hand on the other's shoulder etc were forms of PDA. In cases of "Just Friends", there was no PDA. No holding hands, no hugs, no resting heads on shoulders etc etc. There was always a distance (both physical and emotional!). But today's friendships are very Close. Everyone seems to be claiming - "Ooooh, she/he is a very close friend of mine!" (These "Close Friends" are generally, almost always, of the opposite sex and NO they are not the Bf/Gf of the person so claiming, Mind it!) The number of close friends has increas

I FEAR

Poet - Anonymous I feared being alone until I learned to like myself ... I feared failure until I realized that I only fail when I don't try ... I feared success until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself ... I feared people's opinions until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway ... I feared rejection until I learned to have faith in myself ... I feared pain until I learned that it's necessary for growth ... I feared the truth until I saw the ugliness in lies ... I feared life until I experienced it's beauty ... I feared my destiny until I realized that I had the power to change my life ... I feared hate until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance ... I feared ridicule until I learned how to laugh at myself ... I feared growing old until I realized that I gained wisdom everyday ... I feared the future until I realized that life just kept getting better ... I feared the past until I realized that it could no longer hur

Is it tea time yet?!

Back in 2011, I was placed in a small industrial township of Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (BALCO), a unit of the mining conglomerate Vedanta Resources Plc. Little did I know that life in BALCO township (situate in the town called Korba in the state of Chhattisgarh) would give me an insight like none other. As a fresh graduate lawyer, I was raring to go. Having been roped in by one of the top multi-national corporate houses, I assumed that the way of working would be fast paced. And it was. BALCO had been a public sector undertaking (a PSU i.e. a government enterprise) up until its disinvestment in the year 2001. In 2001, the government decided to disinvest 51% of its equity and management control to a private entity (Sterlite Industries India Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vedanta Resources plc). Before the disinvestment took place, all employees were employees of the Government of India. Post disinvestment, it was agreed that the existing workmen would continue to b
