Words can't hide anything...


We've heard enough about words having their own life and you should choose them carefully, and so on. But, sometimes, words fail to hide the feelings rather, the usage of wrong words reveals everything. When the intentions in your mind are strong enough, you end up conveying what you want to, instead of what you wanted to hide. And this is because, they say, 93% of the communication is non-verbal. So, even when you don't say things, you end up saying them.


Back in 2005, a friend and I went to buy clothes at the Shoppers Stop Sale. We spotted another friend's sister with a guy at the store.  The chemistry between them suggested that something was surely going on between them. I didn't care a damn, but she didn't want us to know who he was and what was going on for obvious reasons.  As we saw them, she got a little worried and so did that guy. Very quickly, in a cover-up move, she said "Hi, this is my cousin, XXXX" and introduced me to that guy.  My cheeky friend quickly said, "Hi XXXX" and looked at her and said "Your brother looks exactly like you". Her face was watchable. He was pissed to the core and said, "I am a verrry distant relative." And then, she said, "Actually, my mother also knows him"
                                                  
                 
A friend told me about an incident at his B-School. There was this young professor in Economics who taught very well and was also young and good looking, in fact was quite handsome. One of the girls from his class got a little friendly with him and they were spotted together often at the canteen, library and so on. There was a buzz in the class about this and  all over, there were updates about them. There was a ten day break after the semester exams when almost everyone went home. The Monday when the classes resumed, the professor, neatly dressed was the first to take the class. He found that everybody was present in the class except his favorite girl student. He looked around the class carefully may be to search for her, and said, "So, where is everybody?"
