pseudo-BONG(ing)!!!! :)

i've often ended up wondering about the possibility of 'mistaken identity' concerning me.. coz, however hard i try, i always find myself to be thoroughly averse to the very 'bong' element. which, by far, should have been something innate.. n which is all and evrything, BUT that :P n it goes without definite mention that im not even doing much to make it an 'acquired' phenomenon either..
so, finally, i've made peace with me being "pseudo-bong"! where all my "bong"-ing is limited to me being born to "thorough-bred bong parents"!

so, coming back to the present day..;)
its mahalaya! the day that marks the descent of "goddess durga" on the mortal ground..n the preceding night, i'd made loadsa plans with pops regarding the time he should be waking me up n wat station to listen to n wat not..n well, it kinda remained at just 'plans'.. :P
n so, the day starts with me receiving the first "shubho mahalaya" msg from my (then once) (girl)friend :);) *chuckle*.. a complete bong msg..n my first reaction to it was just a blank stare at my phone's screen for sometime.. n it was only after a good 40 mins, did i think of passing on the 'same' msg to some other ppl (read: significant ppl).. one of the underlying characteristics of a 'pseudo-bong'.. ;)

n of those ppl (read: significant ppl) whom i passed on the msg, one happens to be a certain gujju-punjabi :P with some amalgamation of tamil, marathi n wat not!!! (n sincerely and fervently hope, that if "you" happen to be reading this, im not grounded afterwards!:P) n the very first reaction "ye kya hai re?translate karna:)"
n then it hits--BANG! i'll have to "TRANSLATE" this "bong" piece entirely!!!! n word-by-word not just the rough estimate of it! n so, i start.. a laborious plodding at the bong-translate-to-english task.. n it took me a good part of the 30 mins spent in that! but the end result..???
well, just as i mentioned, it always pays if the person is anything but bong.. :P n so, wat followed was "nice msg"..further followed by "nice translation" ":)" (n it also pays "handsomely" if the "person" happens to be happily biased for you!)


n so, there it was.. my first take on "pseudo-BONG-ing"!! :D

p.s. : the other two ppl (read: significant ppl) happened to be mamma n pops.. i recieved a "shubho mahalaya" from pops [:)] n a quite "visibily" happily surprised call from mamma :P

n yeah, its still "you", who got my famous attempt of its translation! ;)

shubho mahalaya.
