Day 223 (A blog "disclaiming" all claimers ! )

I wish I could write something so stuffed yet so elaborated that could cover universal disclaimers of the world. But alas ! Seems impossible.

What if say I write a blog post on a table. I put a disclaimer before that :
Please note, this blog is not related to anyone who-

  • has used a table before/currently
  • owns a table currently or in past
  • seen a table
  • borrowed a table
  • studied on a table
  • knows what is a table
But still I get a response from one gentleman who would say, I am not related to any of your disclaimer points but I have seen trees. From trees, wood cutter cuts and gets wood. Wood is sold into market. And that wood is used to make furniture including tables as well. Since I have this knowledge... madam, I am offended !

Another instance. I write a blog on my husband (Without a disclaimer as I have only 1 husband ! ) saying he is very nice and try to put his goodness and presence in my life into words. But no one comes to me saying madam, thanks for writing such good things for me as I am also someone's husband. If your husband is so good, I am generalising it for myself and assuming that it is also written for me! 

Ridiculous right? It is ridiculous for this incident because in this blog post I have written my husband's name, put our picture together and then wrote with a heading "For my hubby!". So it is disclaimed as it should be.

But tell me, for the first case, how to collect the pictures, vendors' names, quality of wood, shapes, sizes, colour, warranty and what not of all the tables in the world and then disclaim it?? If I have written that tables are bad...maybe they were bad in my experience or the ones which I have got. It doesn't even mean that all the tables I have bought have been bad. 
Also, maybe I had a discussion with a colleague in office about new tables launched in market.

It can be anything..right?

Then my dear gentleman, how and where did I say that the tree "in your farm from where wood cutter gets wood to sell into market and then tables are made from them" is not worth it?? :-|

PS- Disclaimer:
This post is not for any "gentleman" , any "Tables",  any "hubby", any "Blog",  anyone "ridiculous" or for that matter for any one who can or is relating to any word in a blog. I am expressing a writer's pain. Thank you.

      Yaar copying it won't be a nice thing to do. Make it a win win situation if you really like what I write...share it ! I get publicity, you get appreciation comments :)

    Adding a disclaimer is another way of "generating interest" in what one writes.

      However, that ("generating interest") would be the last thing that I would want to happen with this blog :P But still ..generating your interest won't do any harm I believe :)

DAY 321 (Bring the change!)

 If you are a mother and if you keep cribbing about societal issues and the way kids have been brought up in our generation, keep reading. Well, every generation have their own issues and we all progress in a way or another. But even after generations of changes there is one common issue which is discussed in all forums (professional and personal/ formal and informal/ planned and unplanned) is patriarchy.  I am not one of those feminist who advocate for the world to turn into a matriarch to take revenge on the oppression generations of women have been facing. I honestly vote for equality. And I think most of us do. However, what do we actually do to bring that change?  Apart from discussing and being profound at the takeaways, I don’t think there is any progressive step that we actually take. I do feel that to take the step it does not have to be groundbreaking. Everything starts at home and so this solution starts at home too.  Most of the time, we start discussing ...

DAY 91 (Yukkkk..!!!)

Another GODFATHER for guys is out now....and yes I am talking about LSD (Love Sex and Dhoka) ! Standing ovation for Miss Ekta Kapoor who chose to leap from the head to toe covered Saas and bahus to directly all nude perverts...!!  I have seen guys being so curious for this movie probably because its been a long time after DEV D for them to watch something "meaningful" like this. I find you tube links of the promos and the special songs of the movie in their social networking site's status and they are just so proud of that. I am ...and I am sure every girl is amazed with the criteria of their meaningfulness! Either everything yukkkyyyy is just their type or they have not been keen to explore any other thing in the world than this! I am sick and tired of the caller tunes which I get to hear now whenever I call up any one of them and then I just do not want to talk any further after that. I believe learning Biology compulsorily till class 10th atleast has given only t...

DAY 105 (When life is awesome...!!)

As I was about to join a job...people told me..that you are gonna lose all your independence and happiness now....cutting off the social network by default...and then you'll realize...what a mess it is and what golden days those 10 "doing-nothing" months were! I used to just shrug it off...because I do not like to predict like everyone else. And now...most of them have got the answers. I have never been happier than this. I do all I missed to do ever...all I loved to do ever...with my grey cells working in parallel as well which is like a perk! Playing table tennis,an urge to learn guitar or atleast try to do so was like few of the things I could never carry on with...due to zillions of factors. But where there is a will...there is a way! I got all I desired packed up in the most beautiful and satisfactory environment ever. What else could I ask for? I have met like some of the most interesting and loveliest people ever (I know...that in professional life...everyon...
