I have this old acquaintance who used to work in the ad agency that takes care of our advertising work. He works for a publishing house now. He is a really innocent and simple Gult guy. Though he is married with a baby, he is like a schoolboy, very gullible and trusting. The other day he pings me with exciting news.
KK: Guess what?
Me: You did not win the lottery?
KK: No yaar! I formatted a Chinese document!!
Me: Yay!
KK: I know. Exciting isn’t it?
Me: Very! Bye.
KK: It was entirely in Chinese!!
Me: Wow! Super exciting dude!
KK: This is the first time we are doing it!
But I managed. I did not know what the headline was and what the sub title.
But I just guessed and put it.
Me: Fantastic! Now let me get back to work.
KK: Yes! The client was very happy.
Me: And who was the Client?
KK: ********
Me: Hmmm for all you know that might be the Chinese Plan to disintegrate India.
KK: Huh!!
Me: You know, it was all over the news some time back!
KK: Really?
Me: You just cleaned it up for them.
KK: What do you mean?
Me: I mean, now they can do it properly.
KK: Don’t joke yaar!
Me: I am just saying!
KK: *silence*
Me: I gotta go now.
KK: Wait!!
Do you think it could be some confidential document?
Me: Could be.
Who knows Chinese in India btw.
KK: You are joking right?
Me: hmm
KK: Right?
Me: Maybe it is not.
But if it is, then I got to hand it over to the Chinese.
KK: What do you mean?
Me: They are particular of their plan document formatting. I mean Heading 1, Paragraph, Bullets, Indentation, Line Spacing, and Page Breaks and then… ATTACK!!!
That’s why they are a Superpower!!
KK: Hey Anjali. Don’t scare me yaar.
Me: Forget it. I was just thinking aloud.
KK: But it can happen, cant it?
Me: Yes!!
KK: :-S
Me: Bye!
After the conversation K spent considerable time with Google translator with no luck I am told. But he is now well versed with the Chinese words for “India, Attack, War, Break-up, Chinese people want to dominate india, China army size, China Army Size vs India Army Size.” etc. You guessed right. Instead of pasting Chinese words from the document into the translator tool, he used the translator to create the above mentioned English words in Chinese and then looked for them in the document.
Now all I need to do is convince him to join the Chinese Army. Something tells me it won’t be that difficult a task. But if I do then I demand that I get the National Disaster Management Award 2009!!
This is my 300th post! Yay! Happy week folks!

Happy 300, Silv, and here's to 300,000 more... not that you quit at 300,000, you know... Just saying...
"They are particular of their plan document formatting. I mean Heading 1, Paragraph, Bullets, Indentation, Line Spacing, and Page Breaks and then… ATTACK!!!"
I knew it. The dreaded wordprocessing army. I've been dreading this for decades... Decades! Yes, even as an infant, in between bottles of warm milk, I'd lay awake thinking... "Oh, my God, what if they finish formatting the documents? What's gonna stand between us and a full scale paragraphed invasion of the country? And what do I have to do to signal there's far too much sugar in this bottle?"
Even in such heightened desperation, I took solace in the simple fact that they're not going to find someone who'd format their documents in time... And now, that one factor contributing to my blissful sleep... is no longer applicable.. all thanks to your friend.
I hope he's proud of himself.

I read a comment 300 posts really? Good job.
Now lets talk about that evil streak you seem to carry around with you. When did you first start having these symptoms? Have you thought about talking to your priest or bishop or spiritual advisor? HA HA - Fun post - I am glad we are not friends. I think I would appear in your blog as fodder for the blog monsters.
Voted :)
Your 300th. Congratulations!
I'd gift you the star cast of the Hollywood flick, 300.
Now that's an achievement. I've been following your blog since the last 2 years or more and each post has made me laugh with joy which I won't have known otherwise. I thank you for the years of fun and all the smiles you provided.
Thanks a lot. Looking forward to the 500th, 1000th and the 2000th posts :)
Bravo! You deserve the highest Chinese civilian award for this post. ( A plate of Chinese chopsuey with only one chopstick)
300th post? *Applause* * Applause*
Go ahead, take off your helmet, look towards the Heavens, point your bat at the pavilion and the stands and acknowledge the cheers on a well deserved triple century!
Congratulations! Keep goin ol' gal :-)
Congratulations on the 300th post :)

Thank you folks for your wishes! :)
Seriously! How do you meet these guys??!!
I wonder if they are attracted by you! :D :D
Congrats on the 300!
In the words of the messenger-dude-i-dont-remember-the-name-of in 300 - This is madness! :D
