WHO AM I?

Who am I?

A philosophical question - A question that has led even the wise sages to undertake quests for the ultimate and eternal truth…

And here I was, thinking about this highly volatile question during the very little time I had before my end sem exams. Who am I now?

Who will I be after these exams?

Then it struck me - I will be a Ginger Gal after the exams.

Yea….GINGER GAL!!!

NO, I didn’t attain any powers like the spiderman, by which I could throw gingers at my enemies. :-P

NO,I didn’t become any sort similar to a ginger in terms of looks.

NO,I didn’t repel people like ginger does to some people

Then what???

Its just that I will be a ‘half an engineer’ gal!!!

Now what’s gingery in it? 8-D

Here goes the explanation –

I will be a half an engineer gal after the exams get over.

Now lets see how to cut an engineer into half.

ENGINEER=ENGI+NEER

Take the first half-ENGI

Right?

Now the explanation will be easier if you are a mallu. Try pronouncing ENGI, it can be converted to INJI which is the Malayalam word for Ginger.

Now that means am a GINGER GAL now…

To all those people out there unaccustomed to the kind of jokes(???) I crack, yea that was a PJ aka POOR JOKE aka as one of my classmates put it PARVATHY JOKE ;)

Sorry for the occasional outburst of my ingenious and innocuous ‘sense of humour’. Afterall these are the jokes that teach you the value of real humour. ;)


PS: This one has been in my drafts folder for long and somehow I plucked up courage today to publish it. :) And I assure you, this happens just once in a while!!! :D...Do comment...:)

Sammathichirikkunnu .. U r a true blooded NITCian.. one of the most 'unpsychable' ( is that word still used in NITC ? ) PJs that I've come across in recent times.. :D

Paro said...

Yo!!!

Datz the spirit. Now don't come to the conclusion that all NITCians are like me, I have got stiffer competitions from better 'chaluists'(Datz the word used these days at college) of NITC :)

Archana said...

Ever since i got familiar with Orkut, time and again would come across the term " PJ " and used to wonder what it was ...

Pyjama ??

But no, it doesnt match the context
" .... crack a "PJ" ( pyjama) ??
No, its something else. "

googled it, asked few friends around, nobody knew what "PJ" is supposed to be ...

Never imagined, someone could enlighten me in a better way ! An ideal example for a PJ !! Thanks for enlightening, Paro ;)

but the truth remains : " Afterall these are the jokes ( read PJ) that teach you the value of real humour. ;)

A note of caution Paro : am sceptical of Archana's intensions. looks like your PJs have a close contender. :-)

Deepak said...

Well, you are only half a poor joker. You still have a long way to go because we guys had made a full PJ on the same thing several years ago. :P

We used to call our band as "Ginger Juice".
Inji=Ginger
Neeru=Juice/Water
ENGI+NEER = Ginger Juice

Check the "Charity" part of this post if you don't believe me!

Deepak said...

Sorry for that cheap publicity in the previous comment. You are indeed a true blooded NITCian; nobody else can crack PJs like NITCians.
But you people are nowhere near us, the great 2K batch. :P ;)

Paro said...

@Archana: Hey thanks for your comments...will try and keep the posts ticking...and am waiting for you to enter the world of blogging...:)

@Sobi: Thats good news. I guess my PJ'S have done a good job in enlightening as well!!! great to hear that!!! and time and again, i will try to enlighten you about the wider aspects and avenues of PJing...:)

@Deepak:Hey didn't know this PJ existed before!!!Guess NITC can make us 'lateral thinkers' ;) I am just a drop in the sea of chaluists of our batch of 05. Am sure we will be strong contenders to the fame of your batch!!! BTW is the ginger juice people still together?

Deepak said...

Heh! We often used to have PJ duels - improvised PJ contest between two individuals who thought that he/she was a better(or should I say worse?) poor joker than the other.

Ajith might not even have heard about those, him being the typical "buji" who doesn't waste time in trifles like PJs. Isn't that right, Ajith?

We used to churn PJs upon PJs in our music room when we were not practising. The entire gang is split now, some in Dubai, some in US, and one writing this comment :(

My current state is like that of Cacofonix the Bard during the banquet in the Asterix series. My friends almost gag me if I open my mouth for PJs nowadays.

Paro said...

@Deepak:PJ Duels... thats too much to ask for...:P...

Ajith said...
