Metalolica

"Where are you?" calls between friends jammed the network, rendering my Google Maps app non-functional. So I switched to the only other app that would help me reach the concert venue- Metal Detector.

With Ozzy, Led Zeppelin and Porcupine Tree being played in the background during the sound check, one would hear fragments of Metallica interspersed between the other numbers. Irritated, my friend asked "are they trying to make a Metallica remix?"
Thoughtfully I replied "Nay, an alloy perhaps."

The Telephone knows!

My friend at office has taken a long leave as he's all set to tie the knot. Just as he was leaving I asked him how could I reach him to convey my regards. "Kyun?" he asked, "phone hai na!"
Still not convinced, I asked, "but won't it be engaged?"

Pencils from Heaven

Seated between two girls who were wearing flowing white dresses that day, my boss was adding some detail to their sketchup model. When he was done, I asked him with reverence, "You must be Lord Indra walking the Earth or you like stationery a lot! I always see you with Apsaras!"

My Joke Dresses to Kill

Having finally come out after a day long meeting, my Bong friend looked at the office folk for the first time and observed "Why has everyone come to office wearing checks!?"
Straightening my own gray checked shirt I replied "That's coz today's pay day - I just got my cheque."

Rodent Issues

I arrived at office one morning to find my colleague seated at another desk with a frown on his face. On asking he pouted, "A rat has gone and died somewhere near my desk da! I can't stand the smell!"
"Did you ask the Comp Admin for a new mouse?"

PJs vs Pick-up lines

Having to come to office on a weekend, JLo was working on a software that I was once addicted to. After asking me her next doubt, she sheepishly added. "I must be pretty bad at this, right?"
I answered, "Well... you're pretty, but not bad!"

A Tabulated LOL

I learnt that the desk missing from the Studio was actually being used by my boss who was working outdoors in the cool morning air. When he finally walked in, I asked him if his laptop was working fine, and he replied in the affirmative. Next I asked: "And MS Office?"
"Yes." (Taking my concern seriously)
"Especially MS Excel? Is that working too?"
"Haan re!!"
"Then why did you take the table outside?"
