NEW YEAR? KNEW THAT!

Disclaimer: If you are here to read a beautiful story about a new year’s day on a Christmas night, THIS IS NOT IT. However if you are here to read about my rants, well, read on…


First things first-- ok I realise that was an idiotic self-evident phrase-- but you get what I mean! The decade comes to an end and I decided to cash in on the euphoria that is around. This is because me getting hit, bitten, thrown, hammered, sat-upon, spat-upon is less probable if people around are happy. True story! This post is about the stupid things people do, year after year, without fail; thinking they are actually being funny. If that’s not bad enough, they also think they are being innovative. Gosh! That’s worse than windows vista. Ok, well, close to it. So here it goes: 


 
 
1.   Resolutions:
Don’t get me wrong. Resolutions are good. They give you an aim in life and all that crap. However, the thing that gets on my nerves is what the ‘creative’ people come up with: ‘I will make a resolution not to make any more resolutions.’ What the hell?? That’s as funny as a death scene. (Bollywood is an exception.) Firstly, that one’s been done to death with. Even stone-age man probably used that - right after ‘No eat fire’ and before his last one- ‘Get pet lion.’ Secondly, making a resolution not to make a resolution?? That’s illogical, self-contradictory and makes as much sense as a parachute that opens on impact.



2.       Year-end jokes:
Every year there are people who will crack these jokes without fail—and expect you to laugh, or at the very least act astonished. Eg: ‘I will take a bath next decade.’ ‘Meet you next year.’ ‘I will not sit on fb till next year’… That’s your idea of a joke??!! What’s your age? 4? That’s nowhere near funny. You should be sent back to the zoo where you belong.






3.       Tagging:
I’m sure I’m going to lose a lot of friends over this one. This is about the compulsive taggers on fb who tag every picture of 2011 with all the friends in their rapidly diminishing friend list. Believe me, I do appreciate your efforts and taking time to tag me in a pic. But honestly, the novelty wears off after the 16th such tag. Even worse is that I get a notification every time someone comments on the pic. I seriously don’t want to know if your 2nd cousin’s 3rd boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend thanked you for tagging her!




4.  Bye- bye last year:

This is the worst one. And all peop-
