I have always wondered what inspires people into asking certain questions and saying certain things.
Here are some questions that annoy me to the core of my being-
Wassup??
How are you supposed to answer such a question?
There might be a million things going on in my life at the point, at which, this question is directed at me...am I supposed to give a summary to that effect?
Or am I supposed to just say a plain "nothing much" even though I know that’s a lie?
Or I ease up the situation by asking a silly question like "do you want me to say the sky or the ceiling?"
People actually laugh when I say that...
Sometimes I ask this question ( I mean “wassup??”) just to bug others, but I am surprised as to how I am the only one who seems to get irritated by this question...others just say "nothing much" and move on with the conversation...
Howz u doing??
Come on!! When you can say it in proper English with a simple "how are you doing?" why use some stupid "howz u"... as far as I know there is no word called "howz" in the English language? and please don’t say," I use it because it’s cute." It’s definitely not that...
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
Or its variation like- what do you think your achievements would be, say 10 years from now?
I feel like bashing the person who asks me this question...
All I can do is grin and bear it and say," I am a person who takes life one day at a time. But, I want to be successful in whatever I do." how much more predictable can that get?
But what I really want to say is-" Why are you being so nosey? How on earth am I supposed to know where I will be in 10 years time? I can hardly predict what is going to happen tomorrow, and you expect data regarding the next 10 years of my life? I am sorry I am just too short sighted (literally and figuratively) to do justice to this question.
And why is it always 10 years? Why not 5 years or 15 years? Is it some kind of a lucky number or something?"
The person who directed this question would probably run away by the time I finish my tirade :)
Look at you; you are all grown up.
Do you want me to remain a dwarf throughout my life or something?
By the way I look at myself in the mirror everyday and you don’t have to particularly tell me to look at myself.
Wish your mom/dad/sister/brother/neighbour/dog/etc/etc/etc from my side.
Seriously how is it going to matter to the concerned person whether I wish them from your side or not?
They don’t even know you.

Wassup sat?? Howzzz u doing?? Convey my regards to Uncle and Aunty...heheheee
Hey, you seem to be at your earnest best..Defiantely wassup is the easiest question to ask but the most difficult to answer...
I shall watch the questions I ask you from now on....
i luved writing this particular blog..it warns off ppl frm asking me certain questions
Yeah... Lamenting? Huge understatement! I am seething here. Anyway, glad to know that at least someone understands my "pain".
I dunno why u feel like annoying when someone asks u such questions..?
"Wassup" and "howz" and all the new dimension of English.. These are not used written.. May be ppl who likes to use yankee's accent uses such words..( I know most of 'em dont use their accent for the other words @least in India...!!) Its all like using wanna (want to) gotta (going to). But u cant blame on 'em for using these kind of words.. u accepts to live with their technology,lifestyle but why not with their accent/words.. The main reason of English being the Global language is b'coz of its adaptability with changes and openness to recieve to new words.. If u dont like dont use.. But if u dont respond to such questions ppl will think u r deaf or u dont know english.
Then, "Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?". OK I agree with u/we cant predict 2mrw. But u should've some dreams(?!!?).Perhaps the person wants to know abt ur goal/dream to achieve in the 10 yrs.To answer this question, i think u really dont need of a time m/c.Just a dream/motivation enough.
"Look at you; you are all grown up." oh..! Somebody asked u this questions..? then i guess u had done somthing silly.. :-)
"Wish your mom/dad/sister/brother/neighbour/dog/etc/etc/etc from my side." U should be crazy if u cant understand that the person just wants to tell u that (s)hez remember ur mom/dad/.....etc. TOO...
