"Silence is golden" - Wish some people understood this..

So I'm a frequent traveler between Hassan and Bangalore and the Club Class Airavat (Bus) is my preferred mode of transport.. It certainly burns a hole in the pocket because a regular non stop 'kempu' bus ticket would cost jus 200..but then I would have to meet a lot of unpleasant people on the kempu bus and endure their company for a good 4 hours on an uncomfortable bus ride.. Hence the journeys on the "more expensive but comfortable and free from clowns" Airavat.. Normally I spend the journey time trying to catch up on sleep/listening to music/playing Candy crush (Oh yes! I'm still addicted to that game.. lol).. On one such journey a lady happened to be sitting beside me.. I was answering an official call.. Just as I hung up she turned towards me and struck up a conversation with me..

Sarcasm - Because it's illegal to kill people..

And I notice people looking at me very intently when I say something.. they're actually trying to ascertain if I'm being serious or if I'm joking.. well you'll never know because I'll never show (my true feelings).. lol.. So I've come across some really silly questions which make for a perfect opportunity to be sarcastic.. But then my mom always told me that if I can't say something nice I should be quiet.. so now you all know why I usually come across as a shy, "quiet" person.. lol Anyway here are some silly questions and my equally silly (

The 'not so Secret' Santa and New Year Celebration 2020 at Hassan

So I'm sure most of you are familiar with the game we usually play during Christmas time called "Secret Santa".. Wherein you pick up the name of some fellow staff member at work and you are their "Secret Santa" and you are supposed to give your "kid" a gift on Christmas.. For various reasons we decided the "gift giving" would be done on New Year's Day.. But the period between Christmas to New Year would be utilized in dropping hints to our respective "kids" and challenge them to guess the identity of their Secret Santa.. In my so many years of playing this game never have I seen a group more sportive than my team at Regional Office at Hassan.. In the true spirit of the game many staff members took time out to buy small gifts/leave notes for their respective "kids".. It was so much fun to watch my colleagues at work receive little gifts/notes from their Secret Santas'.. It was more fun when they were teasing the
