Top 10 ways to get your didi angry

I have been trying to get one of my didis (elder sisters) angry for quite sometime, and she had sworn that she will never get angry with me. So after this long process of big shots and really impish digs at her, these are the top 10 ways I have been able to come up with. Feel free to add to the list...

10. End all top 10 lists with just 9 items.
[hahaha... you just took a peek down, didn't you?! :D]
9. Ask her if she will like a non-veg SMS or mail forward.
8. The ultimate compliment... when she asks if her company is boring, tell her 'Yes'.
7. Tell her that men are always better than women in all respects
6. Do not reply to mails for quite some time or irritate her with blank mails.
5. Look at her and smile at times, until she begins to wonder whats cooking in your head.
4. When she gives a missed call, just tell her by calling her up that she is a 'kanjoos' (miser) and that she is making you call all the time.
3. Contradict all she says, including calling her a nutcase whenever she describes things as sweet or cute or nice.
2. Beg to have a treat from her all the time, but then when you are finally at the restaurant eat very little.
1. When you are finally having something at that restaurant, just for the kicks tell her that you will have more had there been another didi in her place.


There you go.... and I can give you proof that it works. In one case, when the last method was tried out, to say that she went bellicose would be a polite understatement. Please add to this pool of resources freely.

  1. Phatichar, I think your comment in the last post was about where I've been and why I haven't posted these days. Well, actually right now my mom has come over to my place for a week, and this experience is becoming too much bloggable. Will write some day about it.

    BTW, please post your comments on this

  2. If she's decided not to get irritated, she probably won't and will laugh even more at your efforts!

  6. Anumita, my sister was actually pretty much amused until I did the last thing in the list. It wasn't so funny after that.

    Ramchi, I think she has already seen this one, and will be writing a mail to me very soon or at best calling up on STD rates and shout at me. But well, under the protection that she will not be angry with me, I am safe :)

    Phatichar, typically sisters do invent reasons to get mad at you, but they cool down as fast. I think I already know what she'll be saying for this piece of blog. "Very sweet", and that is the sum of everything she ever says about me.

    Anubhav, my didi does not have time to blog :)) and she flames me on mail if things go a little too off the mark. Back after a long break? Yeah. Because my mom was here and a looong post is coming up about that visit.

    * immitate her

    etc etc

  8. Hey, Hands just suggested to me on the phone that I could also tell her "Wrong Number" when she calls up. Thanks for the tip!

    Tipsy topsy, trying any of those except imitating her will be another case of "Aa bael mujhe maar". Anyway the above ways are invariably for inviting trouble... and so your suggestions will be tested out soon, I promise!

  10. Beautiful Mind,

  11. hello to you too sudipta :-)

  12. One way which always gets my sister mad at me is...Picking up the call, and going "Hello??hello??" for a considerably long time...and then when she comes to know u are fooling around, imitate those taped BSNL/MTNL msgs...All lines in this route are busy. Please dial after sometime. OR The number you are tryin to call is currently unavailable.Please call later.

    And if u remember anything from ur stay in gujarat...they have absolutely adorable and irritating voice response syste,..may be a few lines from that wud add to befuddledment :-p

  13. Take her out..Buy her a diet coke and get urself a regular one...

  14. Beautiful mind, younger bros are irritated if you call them younger, and by nothing else.

    Ellie, advice taken. I think I can talk the talk. But it depends on whether the call is STD or not.

    Dijas, Great idea!! Thanks. Oh, BTW, thanks for dropping by as well.

Maa khuh chihal a panjam hastam

The hit counter on my blog reached 20074 today. Why you may ask, is that news, and why hadn't I cheered myself up when it was at 20,000 for example? Well, it is news because 20074 has been a very special number for me during my entire college life: it was my admission number, and my system-wide unique identity. It is strange, and surprising, how these numbers become a part of our identity. The social security number, the passport number, the id number in the college, or even your roll number somehow becomes an almost innate part of the day-to-day life. As soon as I see the same number somewhere else: maybe on a telephone, on a hitcounter, maybe somewhere else... a thousand memories are triggered. As my eyes struck the hitcounter showing 20074 right now, I was thrown back to memories of filling up exam answer sheets, hostel admission forms, library recall requests, and so much more! I believe that number was present on almost every official form which I filled in college: even when

Swami Vivekananda and the Indian Renaissance

The following is an article I sent to my mother based on which she presented at one of her conferences. Do read. =======================================  The common perception of Swami Vivekananda as the religious leader who preached Hinduism to the West and established the Ramakrishna Mission in India is a very limited definition of the impact he had on the collective psyche of the common Indian. Besides his direct impact in adding steam to the Indian Renaissance, a large part of his thoughts and writings also affected the other stalwarts of the movement. While fathoming the entirety of his impact on the Indian Renaissance would be impossible, we will briefly explore some aspects of his influence in the following pages. Raja Ram Mohan Roy is generally credited with ushering in the revolution. His numerous ventures that contradicted the prevailing religious opinion of right and wrong broke the stranglehold of the prevalent quasi-religion, the norms of society and its sole autocrati

Tips and tricks for the GRE

Hello everybody, First of all, I thank all of you for the good wishes and congratulations that you have sent... either as mails, PMs, or anyhow. I have also been getting a lot of mails from people asking for tips and tricks and how I made it to the 800 in quants and 700 on the verbal. So if you are prepared for a lot of gyaan (which I love shelling out), here you go: 1. How long does it take to prepare? A: There is no definite time frame. But about 2-3 dedicated hours a day, for about two-and-a-half months is enough. Then, again, it is dependent on your level. To find that out, I'd suggest that you should take one paper-based test that is there in the front of the book (Barron's, Kaplan, anything... or even the Big Book). If you score about 750 on the quants, and about 500 on the verbal (no cheatings, etc) then the time frame I've said should be enough. If you scored more, great... you should try to get to around 1550!! But if less... well, spruce up depending on how
