Habits seldom die
This is what happens when you start using a phrase more often than needed.
One of my friends has this habit of starting with “I think” before he talks anything. The other day, we were eating lunch together at a restaurant and he was busily talking on his mobile with someone. The signal wasn’t great as usual so he cut the call and called up helpdesk to complain about it. When he uttered the first few words, I almost fell off my chair. Guess what he said?
“I think I am P*****n speaking”

dear vasant: Why not blogging after march?I thought u R bubbling with enthusiasm as u r thinking!Here in U.S i have an younger friend who every time he starts talking,begins like this"you know what I think is".It even now goes on, only once,somebody at the temple who was hearing his lecture,said"honestly I don't know that is why I am here".Everybody laughed and he himself smiled.
All the best.Pl write.Partha krish

hi makkalae!
true about habits. but i am reminded of my old friend saying during school days often begining with the following:
"ippa naan yenna sollavarenna"
Like this I can quote a few right now:
(1) "athellam irukkattum"
(2) "sari"
(3) "Well" (Do you know Parthi's father expired last night? the poor guy began as usual "Well. Was he ill or hospitalised?)
