Have you ever been called a tube
light by your friends and not know what made them call you that? Or got them laughing
on something you said in all seriousness which you didn’t even see being funny
at all in your head? Well hi there, I’m one of you. Let’s all get along.
Graduation makes you lose some
people and sometimes it does the opposite as well, that is bring some people
closer than they were before you graduated. Sidd is one of those people who
weirdly enough stayed more in touch with me than any other person I hung out
with in the college days. Both of us being big time foodies, photography lovers and preparing
for an international English exam, we end up time passing and having long
senseless conversations as anyone can expect from active test takers. You can even see that my Instagram
feed is more like a proof that we do nothing but play around with words.
So one fine day, while talking
crap and all other stuff, we ended up talking about my birthday last year and how I had lots of cake at my disposal.
Yes that is my rare happy face
One thing lead to another and as I was
explaining the cake situation I ended up saying, “I had two cakes that day from friends
who came over and mom baked me one and a half cake, so I had a lot of cake to
eat”. Yes you read that right “one and a half cake”. Now for me it is not funny
because it was one and a half cake indeed. Now you would ask how one would bake
one and a half cake, well my answer to that is, you bake one full cake and a
small little one that is almost half the size of the previous one, giving you
one and a half cake. Upon my explanation, he burst out laughing, like I had
made the joke of the century. And I was dumb found that, what did I just say? I
wasn’t making a joke or anything, but he still ended up laughing like a
Christmas tree being lit up.
It turns out, that being a
clueless simpleton might just sometimes make you funny weather you know it or
not. So to my hopeless, clueless tube light family out there, live in your
weirdness and wear it with pride, after all who doesn’t like making other
people laugh intentionally or just with something you randomly say about cakes
being baked as fractions.
