You got Smug!

Are you staying up late worried you might be smug? How do I know if I am smug? Is there help out there? Who do I talk to? Is there a cure?

The first thing you need to realize that smug is, indeed, a widely prevalent disease. It can spread through verbal or visual contact. Affected persons have to be dealt with delicately and if possible, sarcastically. The smug “bug” is known to commonly affect graduate students, typically towards the end of their graduation period. The exact cause for the bug is currently under research. Baseless speculation can however offer damning insights. Long years of fatiguing, pointless research under the steely gaze of advisor, excess peer and beer pressure, internship or job at a well known company. These are just a few factors that can increase risk of infection. In some rare cases, you are just born that way. Accept it.

Has your friend been acting smug lately? Spending too much time at Starbucks? Talking to a friend who has the smug disorder can help save his life. Yes, his life. Smug females are extremely rare. If the smug bug isn’t dealt with properly, it can lead to a full blown social catastrophe. The patient (!!) walks around victimizing people, the act commonly known as Smugging.

This post is to bring awareness about Smugness as apprehended by Suresh. I implore fellow bloggers to narrate their experiences in short posts. Consider this as a tag, if you will.

Ciao (say chow or see ya o) means "i am your servant.." or something of that general sense. The other day, while composing an email, i was curious about this word and wiki'ed it. Wiki kicks ass with all its interrelated links. I am probably acting like someone who just discovered the joy of P.C.

I used to take so much pride in showing off my computer programs to my hostel people. When someone used to drop by my rooom, i used to click some buttons here and there till a clever window pops up. Recently someone did that to me and i was sheepishly reminded of those innocent, pain-in-the-ass days.

A couple of more passing comments are eluding me, right now. I will just update them as and when i remember. Ciao

Update 1 : I have had many entertaining moments going through my childhood friend Antony's blog. Its lot of interesting stuff put together. Good for reading during breaks and relaxing.
