Hurriedly scribbled at the back of a newspaper. On the way to Singapore, in the window seat of a flight that showed me one of the best sights I had seen in a long time. With a full moon above and the shimmering clouds below, it was a spectacle to behold. Surreal, is the word.

Dover (coll.n.): The residual list of people on your Gtalk roster, whom you will never ever ping in your life, whose status messages are never anything to be amused by. They still subsist there because you ‘might’ need to ping them ’sometime’. (The physical world equivalent of a Dover is an Outram, which is any trinket that you put aside for later because it ‘might’ be useful. It serves the singular purpose of surreptitiously bloating up the attic / storeroom / garage).

This gives the word ‘retarded’ a whole new meaning. And she came in third, btw. Someone kindly explain to me how.

For most of you who are going what the !@!#, how the !@#!, here is a transcript of what she just said:

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don?t have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

And that was in answer to the question: ”Why 20% of Americans can?t identify the US on a map?”

Phew. I shudder to even imagine what she would’ve said if someone asked her anything a bit more logical.

Marvinism (n.): Word meanings that connect names of places with obscure observations, awkward situations and other human idiosyncrasies. Also, a tribute to the genius of Douglas Adams.

Marvinisms for the day:

Doddabetta (n.): The act of having perennial DND status message, thereby defeating the purpose of being online in the first place. Sometimes causes the concerned individual’s mind to collapse into its own singularity.

Agam (n.): Sudden panic attack that results from an unnecessary confusion in spelling normal everyday words like bizarre (two r’s? one r? is their an i there?) and parallelly.
