Eh Eh What Else Can I Say

There’s this peculiar bug always floating around at every graduation ceremony of the beloved a.m. and it finds its way into the system of every brand new alum. To be fair, some students already have it, some are getting there and a very miniscule minority valiantly fight it as much as they can. But even they succumb at this penultimate stage.

The bug causes WayTooMuchVerbalitis or a tendency to give gyaan in whatever mental frame of mind we might be in, in whatever circumstance we might be in and however murderous the other person might be feeling. Basically we become nonsensically eloquent the minute we get our impressive diplomas (and in some cases, much before). After that you can expect an opinion on everything from blood glucose levels to the most obscure matters of public policy.

The Maghreb? OF COURSE I can talk about the Maghreb. Mines in Mongolia? This is how you buy a mine in Mongolia. No mines left? Dude, I know a really good guy in Africa.

Some of it is truly useful. But some of the time, speech becomes the pure unequivocal sound of full on gas.

Thankfully, this state of affairs doesn’t need to last, especially if you have blunt, loving friends like I do. After two years of being vibrant, chatty and a little too talkative, I am slowly returning to good health and intelligent silence.

Ok, relative silence (Stop guffawing, Fats). But in keeping with the flow, the next couple of posts will be written by another, a guest blogger while I head out to watch Kung Fu Shifu. My buddy writes emails which are never more than three lines long, so I doubt much verbal rambling will happen, if at all, but you never know! I’ll be around anyway for double entertainment :) .

    hi there. I remember reading your blog a few years ago when I was applying to ISB, and just saw it on the WOP blogroll today again. You write differently now but still really well. It’s really nice, how much honesty and good thought comes through in your words. Very different from the stuff that is everywhere nowadays

    Pretty Lady..I m your most loyal & silent lurker.Been reading you since 2008. wonder if you can guess who? had to say that I miss your earlier writing and simultaneously like the new posts. I guess what I would love to see is a mixture of both.

    If you become silent, who will give us the awesome and sweet advice that only you can. So pls don’t change too much :)

    There are good differences and there are bad differences. Look at the grace and thoughtfulness in these later words and appreciate the wisdom that inspires them. It is a bigger gift in itself. Wish you all the very best, my dear.
