Career Choices...

We are so happy with the prospect of a three-day weekend that we couldn't help coming up with a totally random, totally silly post. And since three day weekends leave us feeling like royalty, we can't help referring to ourselves as 'we'.

Anyways, here goes...

**************************************************************************

Q. What did Vijender Singh's mom say when he donned gloves for a career choice?
A. Arre yeh kya pagalpan hai! I'll have to knock out this nonsensical idea!
**************************************************************************

Q. What did Abhinav Bindra's mom say when he refused to give up a rifle for a career choice?
A. Shoot, that sonofagun is really focussed!
**************************************************************************

Q. What did Jeev Milkha's mom say when he insisted on picking up a golf club for a career choice?
A. I guess I have no choice but to putt up with it!
**************************************************************************

Q. What did Vishy Anand's mom say when he politely asked if he can pick up a chessboard for a career choice?
A. I don't know, I'll have to check, mate.
**************************************************************************

Q. What did Sachin Tendulkar's mom say when he picked up a cricket bat for a career choice?
A. Let's see, we'll have to bounce that idea with your dad and hope he doesn't smash it.
**************************************************************************

Q. What did Saina Nehwal's mom say when she wanted to smash a shuttle for a career choice?
A. Well, I'm only afraid your dad might create a big racquet.
**************************************************************************

Q. What did Leander Paes' mom say when he decided to make tennis his career choice?
A. Well, I was hoping you'd become a divorce lawyer, but I guess it is destined that you'll just go to court and break up with your best partner.
**************************************************************************

Q. What did Narain Karthikeyan's mom say when he revved up behind a set of wheels for a career choice?
A. Go ahead son, I'll not stand in your way.
**************************************************************************

Q. What did an average-no-name-Indian's mom say when he contemplated commerce for a career choice?
A. Aieee Saala, you have to do engineering.
And the boy meekly said "Jee Maa".
**************************************************************************

PS: Couldn't resist that last dig at the engineers. As usual.

  10. @ Anon SS:
    tnx... and yeah, i'd be jumping with joy at the 3 day weekend except that I don't want the ppl from the floor below to complain...

    @ RR:

    Why: Sat, Sun are off all weeks... Mon tnx to Ramzan Id.
    Who's we: We are just one person - SRK. Except that we sometimes prefer to use the royal 'we'... especially when we get a 3 day lazy weekend :)

    @ Juggler:
    tnx... and hope you had a nice weekend... even if it is a day shorter!

    @ Ram:
    That's probably the first time that being called '20 years' more feels like a compliment :)

    @ Spidey:
    I know :(
    but you know that most of the time, I don't set out to write anything worthwhile...

    @ Sangeetha:
    tnx... and you know what? I have 2 more 3-day weekends thanks to Dussera and Gandhiji :)
