    How to survive when your mom’s out for a vacation, a guide for men!

    We men are very different creatures (at least we like to believe that); we like to be all tough and rough for the world and take things with ease. We can take care of ourselves just fine until the scariest of news is broken to us: Mom is going out for a vacation! Now, we love our moms, heck, we love yours too! For different reasons, of course (No pun intended). And yes, we can take care of ourselves but that’s so hard without our mom being around. This might not make sense to women but, men know, we can’t function without out mommies. For single men, it’s like a task to figure out almost anything at home without the great matriarch being around. So, here’s how to survive when your mom’s out for a vacation!

     

    #1 Chapter 1: The Acceptance

    You’re happy that she’s taking a break from all the hard work she’s been doing non-stop. More than anyone, she deserves vacation time in the house, true story. But to actually accept the fact that she just left for a vacation is harder than you think. It takes us a while to get over it and some men actually shed tears. Yep, some of us are emotional.

    #2 Life is in ruins

    You know, shit is going down from both the sides. Where she’d be chillin’ like no one’s business, you’ll be here trying to keep your life from falling apart. The moment she leaves home, the panic strikes because, “How the f*ck am I going to get up for college/work tomorrow?” and, “What do I order for dinner tonight?” There are many more questions lined up like these but this conversation with yourself always ends with a sigh.

    #3 It’s not a kitchen, It’s a science lab

    Pretty sure, many guys out there are like, “I feel you, bro”, because that is true. When your mom’s out for a vacation, things suddenly start to make no sense. The only thing that brings you hope and light (quite literally) is the fridge. Still acting like a smart ass you think you are, you choose to experiment with food. And food here strictly refers to the 2 minute noodles and nothing more.  And the experiment? Well, we just add a couple of masalas without even measuring and voila something very f*cked up is ready for us to eat. And the daring part here is to take the first bite. If it tastes fine we boast about it. Otherwise? Act like nothing like that ever happened!

    #4 It’s been ages that you’ve seen your mom

    We, men can be a little weird too in times like these. Mom’s been on vacation for just three days but in your head you have lost count. Because nobody’s there to cook your favourite dishes, and you don’t gel with anyone the way you do with her. God knows how but only she can find you the right pair of socks. That’s just few of her talents, if you ask us. But you need socks, and the correct pair with the right colour and size and you have to find it by yourself. 15 minutes down, you finally manage to find a pair that is slightly similar. You can call it a small victory. You deserve it.

    #5 What if the trip is extended for a day or two!?

    It’s the last day you’ve to do all the household work because guess who’s coming back the next day!? So, out of excitement you call her and she tells you that she might extend her trip for a day or two. And in your head, you know, you weren’t prepared for this! But you can’t say no to her, so you just go with “hmm, haan, okay.” while you pray to the lord above that she comes back a.s.a.p.! To get away from this nightmare… maybe, just maybe, you can drink the night away. Just a suggestion.

    You can do all of that or just call your mom and ask whatever you need help for. It IS that easy.

    Cheers!

  • Thoughts that come to your mind when your phone is about to die and you can’t help it!

    Thoughts that come to your mind when your phone is about to die and you can’t help it!

    Fear has different names and with that, different kinds. But in today’s world there is one fear that has got into everyone’s head and somewhere it’s funny. The fear you feel when your phone is about to die and you can’t do jack shit about it! It’s not just with you but everyone, from you to all the people around you; world-fu**in-wide! There’s a possibility that something might just go wrong when you can’t get through anyone because, well, your phone will die any minute but what is sure, is you’re overreacting to the situation! And these thoughts exactly explain how you feel OR overreact when your phone is about to die and you can’t help it!

     

    #1 I want to die too!

    You’re just sitting, chilling, doing nothing that’s remotely important and your phone beeps with a notification that says ‘low battery’. But to us, it feels like the devil has made his presence felt! And all your fear comes running to you. And all you want to do is die because you were stupid enough to not bring your charger with you.

    #2 How will I ever get to know if there’s a zombie break out!

    And then, paranoia hits you in the head with a bullet! You don’t even have enough battery to make a last call to your family and friends just to let them know that you love them. What if there’s a zombie break out and all the signals are jammed and you can’t call for help? But what if it’s not paranoia? Save yourself.

    #3 I feel like a loner already!

    You know your phone is going to die anyway but to make it last longer you turn off the data, decrease the brightness, close all the running apps and whatever gives your phone a little more time to live. You sacrifice your social life so it can live a little more of its life before it has to go back in your bag. Not really sure if that sacrifice is taking you to heaven, just saying!

    #4 If anything happens to me, nobody will get to know!

    Hope your mom tied that colourful dhaga on your wrist because without that and an almost dead phone, what’s going to save you in this cruel world of humans? It’s time you started carrying a pepper spray, at least. And moreover, everybody wants to die famous, not like Bruce Wayne’s parents in the Crime Alley, right?

    #5 How will I stalk that girl/guy on Instagram!?

    Talk about big problems of life! It’s that hour of the day when you stalk the shit out of that one person you think you’re in love with. Wait, you’re actually in love with them? Sure. But damn your luck, because your phone is about to die. Don’t get teary eyed now, its wait the worth. It’s better to see a new post by them rather than seeing the old ones for the hundredth time!

    #6 How am I going to post stories on Snapchat about the major events in my life?

    Those major events as we all know are a movie that you’ll be watching later, maybe the popcorns you’re going to hog! The latter one is actually a major one, no kidding! But you know what’d be a major event? Getting a life, try that!

    #7 What if there’s a crisis at work!?

    You’d even pray to the God, that you don’t believe in, just to make sure this never takes place. When your phone is about to die and out of nowhere there’s a work crisis and your boss can’t reach you OR he was able to reach you but your phone dies in the middle of the conversation but he thinks you hung up on him. Guess who just lost their job? Wait, you do have a job, right?

    #8 I wish I had life support for my phone!

    When the common sense knocks on your head and you realize that you should’ve carried your power bank but you being you, forgetting things and all that. Remember, nobody’s perfect but many people do carry their power banks. This is a lesson more important than the trigonometry lesson you were taught as a kid. True story.

    #9 It’s like the time has stopped!

    Obviously, a phone so smart and the owner so… nevermind. Even if you’re wearing a watch, you can see the clock ticking but it doesn’t make the time run any faster. To kill time you don’t really need a phone but that’s all you have that connects you to everyone, entertains you and helps you in every way possible. But when your phone is about to die, what are you going to do?

  • This dog lost his rear legs. What happened next will change the way you look at life!

    This dog lost his rear legs. What happened next will change the way you look at life!

    Some of us get a second chance at life and we should be grateful for it. Like human beings, animals too deserve a second chance and rightly so! Here’s a story of a dog who was hit by a car and lost his rear legs. Luckily, he got saved by the people at a dog shelter and he got another chance at life. What’s more, he got adopted by a couple who seem to have experienced what the dog must be going through first hand. The man who opened his doors to this dog found a best friend and saw his life change.

    Take a look and oh, give life a chance.
