LOL factory downloads...

 

Life's mostly comical until we start taking it too seriously. On a jocular vein, I'm posting snippets of some LOL moments from my journey, which have me in stitches even to this day. Call it much guffaw about nothing.

Arpita to Armpit! Autocorrect, like they say, has a special place reserved in hell. Thanks to this overzealous software, my sign off (on a text message) once got autocorrected to Armpit and off it went that way. So much for a spellcheck, gosh! What followed was studied silence on both sides, after which it was business as usual. Today, I laugh my head off every time I recall this mortifying episode.

Trash in hand, cash in bin: Every cleaning spree unearths some stray cash from nooks and crannies of your cupboard you don't even know exist. I usually plug into music during these drills and zone out. On one such occasion, I conveniently trashed a fistful of small cash into the bin and walked back to my drawer with another handful of paper shreds. Such wizardry! Clearly, my mind needed a hose down more than the closet.

A tumble down the stairs: This was during break hours at office. There was this sweets & snacks shop which my work besties and I'd frequent. That evening, after digging into our favorite sweets and some savories, we were streaming down a staircase, when I tumbled down a flight of steps. What's worse, in that very moment I was struck by a hideous laughter fit, the kind where you start to snort. My friends waited for a good minute or two for me to recover. One even disowned me as a friend in that moment for the public spectacle I made. Well, I did an ROFL long before it even became a thing. Did I end up with some bruises? Who knows, but laughter was my medicine.

A phantom or a pillion: This was back in college days. My brother and I lived in the same city and his two-wheeler was our easy transport. He, however, would always crib about how the helmet cut off all surround sound. One evening, we were about to go to the grocers and he was seated on his bike, headgear on, waiting for me to perch behind. Must have been the surround sound, for I wasn't that feathery, after all. The next thing I see, he was gone. Without me. I tried to wave at him, even call, but choked on my own laughter. Poor guy, rode quite some bit before realizing little sis had disappeared like fizz!
