Point Blank!!!

Man!!! God alone knows how I was dying to write this post...
Weekends are an awesome time to get drunk and laugh about the week that passed by...My weekend was a bit different.It was weekend instead of getting drunk I was taking out the hangover of the last week ... I was surrounded with some of my very good friends i looked forward to have the best evening...well things done happen as u expect right!!!...
We all yapped and discussed various topics...suddenly a topic came on honesty...and like a fiery ardent leader who just woke on the wrong side of the bed....I passed sum statements which literally startled my frnds...whos that gal!!!!...Suddenly my frnd said " Chill!! u ought to take things lightly. Nobody is talking about u personally" and other frnds nodded....Suddenly there were one pair of nostradamus's eyes....with a sly smile...which without words were telling didnt I predict u ought to cool off and stop taking things personally...I felt a thwang of hatred towards myself...
Triggering questions flew to my mind Wat happnd to me?? why did I react??.......zoink!!! my questions were still unanswered when adding to the same, my frnd asked hey do u read books?? I said yeah i do ... and suddenly he said read "God father"... u will benefit from the same.... ohh man!!! the trigger went off Poof!! suddenly like a hi-fi corporate egoistic maniac i replied "I dont read preachy books; they put me off"....without even thinking i extended my answer "Not like God father, but books like Monk who sold his ferarri"... Nostramadus stopped prediciting and started defending or rather started correcting my mistake....OMG!!! Wat was that.....with a cross over of words...we ended the much heated conversation with a bet.....
After a few topics here and there....thankfully i was silent throughout the same....Suddenly my frnd asked me to hold my hand in air...and dutifully doing the same i asked him the reason...he replied sayin its Analogous...
Ana wat??? oh crap!!!...Like a curious child ....I asked what is Analog?? he said what u dont know analog...duhhh!! like I have a brain having a dictionary memory.....i asked no can u pls tell me what does it mean...and he asked whats ur watch I said its Titan...to which he replied not the make then he pointed to other frnd's watch and posed his question in a very different way...what watch is it?? is it a digital or analog watch....hmmmm suddenly zoinked!! my mind was completely blank.....i suffered from blank paralysis...my mind went blank....I felt like a stupid bimbo with all the pairs of eyes surrounding me....with utter surprise...& one special pair of eyes which were analysing....crap not now not now...my heart cried in silence....Finally after minutes of feeling stupid and point blank, my frnd explained the meaning....
Eighteen years of academia and one and half year of experience had got me nothin but "Point Blank" suddenly I remembered a quote from my Mentor " Ken Blanchard" " When you stop learning you stop growing" yups...wat a moment of learning....I have learned nothing... I have yet to learn so many things.....Guess Blank and embarassing moments teach u so many things....that was literally a " point blank" moment...

Whoever said that It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt must have been a genious and a bloody hypocrite.

We seldom can stop ourselves from saying things at the heat of the moment.Esp Stupid ones ..

But chill ..who cares :)
