Accidently Reminded

Sometimes in the urinal when the person beside you taps the water flush on, or on an early morning ride when a passer by indicates you to turn off your headlamp, you're accidently reminded that it too had to be done.

 

Indians are good people I would say, though they never get tired of envying you and bitching about you, but they would surely tell you that your side-stand is out spread and your headlamps are daydreaming. Sometimes they also tell that on the next bend the cops have stationed a check-post. And guess what, we're accidently reminded to wear our helmets.

Wave a hand to someone for a little hitchhike and they would pass by you looking at the barren trees on the other side of the road, but sign them that they dropped something and they'll notice it without a drop. Guess why? Because they anticipate accidental reminders.

Try this the next time your boss passes by- wish him a pleasant day and he would hardly care to nod back, (leave aside a reply). But remind him that his laces are open and he'll instantly look down. If it isn't a bluff, he'll even smile back at you, revealing his stained teeth. That's the power of accidental reminders.

Mothers- tell them you have had more than your fill but they won't stop insisting to have more, but remind them that you just paid half-a-thousand rupees at the gym to burn some fat and she'll wipe your mouth clean.

Girlfriends, they're unpredictable. Tell her you look beautiful and she would pass it off like a glass of pain water. And in case you need to see the effects of serving her lemonade, remind her that she has lost some weight. The gratitude that shall follow next from her side will take away all your sorrows, but be cautious as it is bound to last only until she is not accidently reminded of something else next.

No doubt that from the time we start snoozing our alarms to the time when we set one before sleeping, we expect to be accidently reminded of a lot of things.

Say, for instance, do you remember what did I tell you about leaving a comment? Or did I just accidently remind you?
