how girls use whatsapp


I came across this news today that the Mumbai police are creating whatsapp groups to stay in touch with citizens. How cool! Though whatsapp can get a little annoying and frustrating at times, more often than not it's such a great way to stay connected with friends and family. No wonder the founders got acquired for such a huge amount!

Sometimes I feel there should be whatsapp etiquette, just like email and Facebook etiquette. Like people should know how uncool it is to send hundreds of 'good morning' pictures with flower bouquets and hot coffee mugs. And how impolite and bad manners it is to quit from a group just like that. And no, it is totally unacceptable to use a group to chat with one person and torture the rest of the members!!

You would be surprised if I told you how girls use whatsapp. Jan Koum wouldn't even have expected that women would use whatsapp it so many ways, apart from all the bitching and gossiping..

Try clothes at stores and send pictures to girlfriends asking them if it looks good and if they can go ahead and buy it. Or spread out all the clothes and  shoes and purses on the bed and ask their girlfriends what to wear for the party



 A cousin S, sent a picture of dough to her sister and asked if the consistency is ok for making bajjis...


Girls use whatsapp status messages to give in-your-face answers to people they can't really give back to in the real world.



Play games. Not just women everyone plays games on whatsapp. Use the emoticons to play something like dumb charades ..guessing the movie names, country names, city names, songs and on and on....

Candycrush requests. Who would want to wait till someone opens candy crush and sees our request and then send us lives and unlock more levels. We use whatsapp to send instant notification about requests. And then people cannot refrain from accepting the requests because we can see them if they checked the message of not. Give me the life now!!




Location services. You know girlfriends are a very helpful bunch. We don't let the sisterhood go through the same pain one of us has already endured, you know, like finding directions to the coffee shop. What's a smartphone with whatsapp for?

We are all masterchefs on whatsapp sharing yummy recipes and more...

Infact, its so much fun to be part of all girls whatsapp groups. Cos girlfriends are like coffee. Just like coffee, they can make anything ordinary and banal seem nice and cheerful. They can make a simple movie poster super interesting. Got this picture forward on at least 4 of my whatsapp groups and no one made it as funny as the girls did..



A : I will take the guy, instead..

A2: Is the guy free with radio?

A3: How I wish guys were like radios and came with on/off buttons. And with the option to change conversations like we change stations

R: I am done with guys. I'd prefer the radio!!

The BadCow story

I love stories. Specially narrating stories. Exaggerating them and narrating. I have stories associated with just about anything. Bird shit, car, lock, missing flights, chasing buses, maid servant, broken pyjama strings, coffee, blog...Give me anything and I will tell you a story that happened to me with that subject. The BadCow story has nothing to do with being bad or cows or cows that are bad. It is just my tryst and obsession with bad words. If only my dad had an iota of idea about the extent of my 'galeez maatalu' vocab, he would jump from his 5th floor apartment. Going by the number of bad words I know and use, the way I drive and cuss at drivers ( and yeah my love for night life too ), my mum feels I should have been born as a boy and If I were born a boy and got married, my wife would've committed suicide within the first 2 months of the marriage. See..exaggeration you see. It runs in the family. BadCow ...reminds you of any bad words? For non-native Telugu

vision 2020...just an illusion??

A co-worker's boyfriend had asked me how can I leave the land of opportunities and go back to India. "What is there in India?" these were his exact words. " what is there in India" that I am moving back to? yes, there is corruption in India. There is pollution, population explosion, traffic jams, insensitivity,illiteracy, female foeticide and infanticide . There is lack of civic sense, lack of good organization and there is no cleanliness. We spit on the road and all the walls on the road are public urinals and men make graffiti with pee on all those walls. Haaa! tell me what isn't there in India. A lot of people I know don't want to go back to India for all those mentioned above and a lot more. And can we do anything about it? Yeah, we can fret about it and enjoy watching on-screen how the heroes fight these evils while we munch on our popcorn. may be, my being a hypocrite has a lot to do with the country I come from. The country, the state, the social

once more, please!

Give me some sunshine Give me some rain Give me another chance..I wanna grow up once again.. I might have listened to this song a thousand times in the last one month and not once has it failed to flood me with memories of school and college life, friends from school & college, crushes, cat-fights, suspensions, ragging, all-nighters, and on and on and on...Not just the memories, it gets me thinking as to what I would change if I could grow up once again..I am sure each one of us would be able to relate to it.. i would love to know if, given a chance and you could grow up once again, what/how would you change (in) your life?
