Energy eaters


There are some people in the world who thrive on other people’s ideas, thoughts, help…anything. They think it is their birthright. I call them energy eaters.


One person in my close contact is an energy eater. This person is highly disorganized and incapable of handling his personal life. Due to these traits he is most of the time under stress. He always loads his stress on us, who are in close contact with him. He sucks our energy…eats it…and still doesn’t become happy or stress-free. But we get drained. We have suffered much due to him.


I should have done it earlier, but nevertheless, better late than never. On behalf of all of us who have suffered due to this energy eater, I now declare that we refuse to allow this person to eat our energy any longer.

His favourite (pause) holiday destination is (pause) the beaches (pronounced as ‘bitches’) of (pause) Goa” I nearly died choking with laughter for this one ! In the 45 minutes that he was on stage he was responsible for much hilarity due to his totally inappropriate commentary. I, of course, laughed my guts out and what c

‘Geographically challenged’

I laughed my guts out while reading this . Then I had another bout of laughter thinking of all the incidents that happen with me. For a long time now I have known that I am, what I like to call, ‘geographically challenged’ :) Situation 1 - If I go inside a building (happens mostly with residential buildings), then after I exit the lift (elevator) or come down the stairs, I cannot quickly locate the gate ! Situation 2 - If I am inside a building, I will routinely point in wrong directions to indicate places outside the building. Situation 3 - I am presently at office. I have come here from home. Now I have to go to some place where I have always gone from home and never from office. What do I do ? I go home first and from there I go to that place. It doesn’t matter if it is a longer distance or takes more time. I have to do this, because simply have no mechanism to re-align my mental map to my present location ! Situation 4 - Another thing is that if I have come to your place in
