Going overboard!!

Its basic human tendency to go overboard, or rather its our birthright to go overboard!! Why not? We get bliss out of it!! I would not want to analyze why one tends to overboard. Go figure out yourself!!! Yet, I will throw in an idea about what 'overboard' I am not talking about!!!

I am NOT talking about Over or as if over the side of a boat or ship.


Instead, I am talking about going to extreme levels; due to enthusiasm!! curiosity!! hyper-energetic!!!

See!! See!! Just like me !! I am so hyper-energetic at the moment that I want to use !!!!!! as much as possible!!!!

:-D !!!!

How many times in a day do you go overboard and do things out of your way?? Is a day too much? Well, I bet it isn't!!

Errr...did I just analyze? See!! I told ya I am hyper-energetic at the moment!!!

NO!! I have not consumed any alcohol yet!!

Well, coming to the point, I go overboard whenever I hear a new song. I keep listening to it back to back with the 'repeat' mode on; until I really start hating the song that I loved!!

I go overboard trying to help my colleagues, friends, playing agony aunt. They don't thank me!! forget thanking, they don't even realize the importance!!

No cribbing! I am happy happy!!

I go overboard most times when I safely hide my credit card in a purse and hide the purse beneath heap of clothes in the cupboard. When I want them, I search and search in vain!! After much futile attempt, I call up customer care and block the cards, and Lo!! I remember where I hid them!!!

I go overboard ordering a sizzler, beans spud, mushroom caps grilled; at my favorite restaurant. Only that, when my order arrives, I feel I can eat them for 3 days!!!

A guy goes overboard wooing the lady, in vain; because he has got everything wrong right from her choice of perfume to her hatred for onions!!

Women go overboard trying to look slim and end up being anorexic!!

A computer goes overboard, trying to multi-task and multi-process and multi-thread....(Computer jargon...mind you..All 3 are different); in vain and then hangs itself!!!



A daughter-in-law goes overboard trying to keep mom-in-law happy, only to face her wrath!!

A son-in-law goes overboard trying to keep both his newly wed wife and his mom happy!! Is it ever possible????

Hmm, Neha goes overboard trying to prove that she is CONCEITED while I go overboard trying to prove that I am HUMBLE!!!

:-P

And here is the final straw!! Whoever has the guts to GO OVERBOARD, can pick this award!!
Yeah?? ..........Yeah!!!!!

  3. Nice one. Going overboard happens only on extremism. Either too much affection or too much hatred. Majority of the time it happens on too much affection. But it does not always bring the desired results.

  4. I don't think I've ever gone overboard with anything except food. I've eaten so much at a go that my pants have torn down the middle when I got up. My friends had to shove me into a taxi and send me home :P
    Of course, that was all for a bet...but that's different :P

  9. Very nicely said about overboard. Especially, computer goes overboard and hanging is very nicely picturised.

  10. I can so relate to listening a track rather a particular piece of a track again and again.. but otherwise I guess no.. I consider myself suffering with OCD so that is the only extremism I see in my personality otherwise it takes a lot to move me from my practical senses..

    Conclusion of the story is - I will have to wait for another award :(

  11. whenever I hear a new song. I keep listening to it back to back with the 'repeat' mode on; until I really start hating the song that I loved!!

  15. @ Shaunak: Now that makes you and your pants very interesting! :P

    Did the pants get torn down from front or the back? And did the pants get alright and rehabilitated? Such medical emergencies intrigue me! ;)

    If you do a blog post about it, do let me know, I would like to read. :)

  28. Lostworld,

    Oh you know what? The award was totally unexpected too.
    I wanted to write about going overboard in order to cheer up a friend of mine.
    Later, when I was done with the posts. I wanted to add some funny pictures
    Incidentally, I saw this "Going overboard" award, I thought why not put the award for people to pick as it went well with my topic


    Thank you. but NO, no one gave me this award. In fact, its part of some university program. I just picked the picture.
    Hope I am spared for that

  32. I sell a boat-program which will help you to outwit auction and to win, initially the boat was created for the Scandinavian auction http://internet-aukcion.ru/ but now the program can work with similar auctions: gagen ru, vezetmne ru and with ten.
    The program-boat stakes for you, i.e. for this purpose it is not necessary to sit constantly at the monitor. The boat can set time when it is necessary to stake, thus you as much as possible will lower expenses for rates, and as much as possible increase the chances of a victory.

    The price of the program a boat for the Scandinavian auctions 20$

    For the first 10 clients the price 15$

    To all clients free updating and support.

    Behind purchases I ask in icq: 588889590 Max.

    am as jobless as you are..free

  38. High five on so many things! :D
    Whatever I do, I do it to the extreme. (Oh, I'm an extremist!) :P
    Sometimes it becomes a weakness, in stead of strength. But still it's ok, for it works wonders when the task is good.

    Thank you. And your act, oh my!! I can relate to it!! I do end up going overboard at work.
    Thankfully we dont work on any LIVE data, my work is all R&D, so even if I do any blunder, I get away saying that I was 'experimenting'

  50. My pick - The Credit Card one!! Its hilarious and such a price for being overboard...luckily i am suffering from energy repulsive disorder where any kind of energy refuse to flow in my body and therefore hyper-energetic stage is way out of question....

    Damn! I have to leave the award :(

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hi Pratik,

    Yup!! At the end of it all, I feel really really stupid for going overboard.
