Don't you just love professors? They drop you from the summery heaven of food, fun and laughter into a dank, dingy black hole filled with stagnant water called reality in just 5 mins. Here is how mine achieved that.
10 am meeting Monday August 10th 2009
"Last date for submitting the thesis to the Dean is Nov 6th. So you have to defend by Oct. The committee needs atleast 3 weeks to read your thesis, which means you have to hand in the thesis to us by Oct 2nd week. You need to have all your data by the end of Sept, then you can start on the 1st draft and have everything ready by Oct 1st week. Just email me a list of all the sequences you have done so far, we can start the data analysis next week."
11 am priority check in the train
Skip cooking experiments - no way
Skip reading blogs - no way
Skip knitting/ crochet - hell no!
Skip looking after husband - want to, but can't
Skip doing laundry - would love to, but I've a limited number of undies
Skip thesis defense and get lynched by professor - gulp, no
Skip writing nonsensical posts - don't want to but I HAVE to
People, Masala Vade is closing shop till Nov. I will continue urinating in your blogs but will refrain from doing the same in my place. This will give your injured brains (in case any of you did sustain injuries reading my posts) a chance to recoup.
Till then, as Ina Garten says, "Don't have fun without me".
Ciao!
NOOOOOO...HellNooo...did hell break loose on my head?
ReplyDeleteYou cant do this to me...uuuaaaanh!!
i will be missing all the Muthrasana postures that u indulge in while writing your posts.
U better keep up with the comments thou, else u will b gettin one hell of crowded muthrasana here.
How will u refrain from the PUBLISH POST tab for 3 months??? wats gotten into u lady? this is more than peeing..u r shitting me out!!
all the best! will miss the regular dose of laughter.
ReplyDeleteNahiiiiiiiiiii *hindi movie ishtyle* think SJ think. Your posts have been the light to many disillusioned souls like me. Remember the Ramaswamy post? It awoke the fishy love in me which I thought I had lost when I had accidentally scooped a fish from the well in our backyard and refused to throw it back!
ReplyDeleteYour knitting show off's made many H4 wives docile as they practised sword fighting with the needles and yarn rather than on their husbands.
Your pancakes made its way to the breakfast tables of husbands who had resigned to a fate of office canteens.
So think what your blog is doing to us rather than thinking about what an Umreekan 3 more letters to your name can do for you. I say chuck de phatte your prof and hi again to your devastated blogger buddies.
BTW just realised that you didn't add chatting to your list. So that means you are available there!! Shucks will suffer you there then :)
Oh nooooo! Not even teenie weenie one liners? Thats grossly unfair. Stop knitting or buy some more undies. Whichever is easier. But stop blogging? Thats not even an option. Your readers will hound you.
ReplyDeleteWill miss u;)
ReplyDeleteWishing you the very best! See you soon! I know how hard it is to prioritize when you have a situation of prime importance that demands all your attention! Be back with a bang :D
ReplyDeleteYou r most welcome to urinate in our blogs but take little of ur time to write which makes us/me smile,pls don'ttttttttt stop,i need a dose of ur post to laugh
ReplyDeleteAll the best!!! Please come back sooooonnnn....! And keep coming to our place.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOO..*again hindi ishtylee..*.:D..I know you cant sit on butts peacefully for that long SJ..Il wait..;)
ReplyDeleteRush,
ReplyDeleteBut I will be doing muthrasana in your blog no! Fear not!
Shalini,
Thanks!
Sakshi,
Well, I can tell him jha bhe but I can;t tell the same to J. You know the story :(
Aparna,
hahahhahaaaa..undies are pretty expensive here :P Bah, I am don't get 50 plus comments for readers to hound me!
Myethri,
aww..thnkx!
Pooja,
:D TY!
Saritha,
Its temporary, you need to give ur brain a break also no? Thank you for giving me permission to urinate in ur blog!
Sonu,
ok thanks!
Varsha,
My dear its a choice between writing rot in my blog or letting my 2.5 yrs worth of hard work go down the drain. If you notice, my blogging only increased in summer, I was virtually absent in spring. So I am pretty sure I can stay away from Masala Vade.
I am glad you didn't make the other decision you could have. Continued to post here and forgotten our blogs. This way, there's 2-way interaction (and I am NOT saying this cuz I want your hits on my site, ok? So don't blame me of that!! sheesh!)
ReplyDeleteWhy you doing this?WHY WHY*echo*
ReplyDeleteAnyway, do hop on our blogs?You will, I know :P
I hate your professor!! I want the pictures and the pancakes and the knitting and the funny posts atleast two times every week, make the husband do your thesis, what did you marry him for???
ReplyDeleteTHUDDDDD!!!!that was me collapsing on floor by blog-break-bomb:))
ReplyDeleteI'll echo what Sakshi said 'I say chuck de phatte your prof and hi again to your devastated blogger buddies.'
But dont you even think about taking a break from blog-hopping,SJ!!!see you around!
Hey SJ,Will surely miss ur posts and those lovely pics! Come back soon
ReplyDeleteAiyoo.! Just when I was getting hooked on to all your posts. I'm gonna have withdrawal symptoms. Sigh !
ReplyDeleteAnyway, wishing you good luck on your thesis. Go get 'em!
Oh no :( Will miss your posts...I bought the pathrode leaves today to make your version of it and then read this post....so so so sad...but get done with it all real soon - all the best and see ya in november
ReplyDeletehahahahahaaa... what will we do w/o your blogposts?? plez plez pleeeejjj...one liner blog toh bhi pot karo!!
ReplyDeleteOh SJ, Will miss you!!! Are you sure you can't juggle around a bit and blog too :)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, all the best and get back soon!
And you watch Ina Garten too:) I LOVE HER SHOWS! and if am not careful, will end up her size as well :) All the best again!
Dear SJ,
ReplyDeleteThat is what happens when over-erudite people take up too much on their platter. BTW, blogging is a must-do for me too.
Anyway, all the best to you in your thesis preparation and writing (that sounds so-o-o impressive and highbrow) and hope your prof gets his/her tit-for-tat soon enough.
Oh NOOOOOOO thats not fair.....will miss you dear, do come back soon! Wishing you all the very best for your thesis!
ReplyDeleteNags, HB, Sujata, Deeps, Sharmilee Appu, Arch, Purnima, Smitha, Sucharita, Parita,
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU so much for telling that you will miss me and yoru wishes. I am shedding tears of joy seeing your devotion to my rubbish blog and nut case posts. I promise to be back in Nov with awesome lunatic, insane posts that will loosen your screws!!!!
Is this your idea of a "blog popularity survey?" Because if it is, you've got your answer--you can't shut shop! Not allowed.
