Have you felt silk lately?

Dairy Milk Silk - name it and a smile will appear on the face of a Silk lover J I believe that we – the Silk lovers do not necessarily prefer the extreme situations shown in the advertisements where people simply don’t care about the place they are at while licking (read savouring) the gooey substance that Silk claims to be. However, well aware of the feasibility of washing hands and a proper place/time, we do indulge in the slo-mo action between the fingers and mouth to spread happiness inside our being. THAT’s the Silk effect.

Once you have felt Silk, it’s difficult to go back to grand old daddy – Dairy Milk with the word Silk not mentioned near it. Thankfully Silk and salary arrived in my life almost at the same time so I do not mind responding to my cravings and the frequent splurging (it’s costly yaar!! At times one counts how much one piece is worth). The problem of ‘No one can eat just one’ is more with Silk than with Lays I believe. One has to have at least two pieces to calm down the chocolate hungry soul!

Now the most important part : the reason why I’m writing the blog on this subject. It’s specifically not to write an open love letter to Silk but to share an information. There are some people who exclaim what’s so amazing about Silk? It’s just an old chocolate with a longer name. Believe it or not, I was in that category after I had Silk for the first time. I could not understand why my friends – Sangita Di and Teenu were going gaga over Silk. After much deliberation and a looong gap I dared to buy Silk one more time..and my opinion changed as well as my list of favourites.

When I had Silk for the first time, it was brought out of refrigerator and consumed. That was the mistake!! What do we get to see in the Silk ads? Gooey substance but refrigerating the chocolate will make it harder – no chance of remaining the gooey little sweet thing. So, applying this logic next time I did not keep it in refrigerator (that’s a hard task given that ants do come and go of their own will everywhere in the house). Tore the packet and got a softer version to feel. Time for action! Placed in mouth and Silk came out with its full potential, out of the shell to mesmerize. Bingo!!!

So if you had committed the mistake same as mine, just try not to refrigerate or keep it outside the refrigerator for a long time before you plan to eat it (not a good suggestion for impatient people).

Enjoy Silk with this cute song ripped from the ad!

P.S. I like the fruit and nut version of Silk the most. Ironically I liked Dairy Milk fruit and Nut the most. I’ve just moved to the sassy version ;)

Handling random Majnu callers

Yes the title is a bit awkward but then one is helpless. There has to be an adjective to describe this irritating breed of callers.

 

It will be surprising to know if none of the matured girls had to deal with an unknown caller : who is a male (irrespective of age), who doesn’t reveal his identity properly, who wants to know your name, who wants to know the place where the call has landed, who wants to be your friend, who has fallen in love with you the moment he finds that the person answering the call is a female (irrespective of age) and many more silly and/or dirty things on the same lines.

 

With the huge population of such irritating breed lurking here and there who either dial a random number hoping a female to answer the call or through some means get hold of a number that belongs to a female (may be the outcome of the first option), one has to deal with many such creepy people. Service providers with their luring plans of discounted tariff, free calls, etc. make things worse where the caller has to spend few paisa to gain some creepy comfort to their ever loving souls.

 

The obvious reaction is to shout at them, not to receive the calls, get irritated and receive the call and again shout at them, threaten to inform police, so on and on..

 

Have we ever thought that in the middle of all this shouting, we spoil our mood and negatively impact our health? Some random person just manages to ruin our peaceful state of mind with his irritating behavior.

 

Armed with experience, now I have devised a plan that hits the bull’s eye (that one needs to work on with patience) and it doesn’t ruin my mood or health. J

 

So my tactic is :

Receive the call from an unknown number for the first time > Speak cautiously without revealing name, location, etc. > Ask the caller for his name and the one he wants to speak to > Guess the intention of the caller with his weird or creepy reply > Stop speaking > Disconnect the call > Receive the call whenever it appears again ensuring that no surrounding sound would reveal any of your details – like mother calling you from somewhere in the house (this can be achieved by turning off the microphone or covering it with something) > Do not disconnect the call > Let the speaker blabber > Not to listen to what the caller is saying (otherwise one would feel compelled to answer and shout) > Not st speak at all as well > Repeat this as many times possible > At times disconnect the call (but not repeatedly which will make the guy adamant to disturb you more)

 

Finally this act of ignorance where they feel useless – no abusive words, no arguments, drive them crazy and they lose the interest to bother you at least.

 

This has worked like wonder and gives me so much pleasure (in a creepy way like when the caller gets pleasure by irritating a female and realizing that he could make her helpless and angry)!

That’s my revenge! Ha ha ha..
