Some people just can't seem to think of anything sensible to talk about when they see someone similiar after a short hiatus or usually at a place that they don't expect them to see.
Like for example ....if u go to the movies and unexedly stumble onto a freind. He/she looks at u ...probably raises an eyebrow and then asks ...."Hey....how're u? come to watch the movie?"---Oh for God's sake ...of course i've come to watch the movie....i haven't come here to have a sun-bath have I?
People have experienced these dumb questions many times in their lives and only wen someone points out to them (like i've done here hehe) the 'Dumbness Factor' of these questions - do they stop and think...." yeah.....that was a rather dumb question man!"
In fact many....including myself, even might've asked the same kinda questions not quite knowing how dumb they'd been. But until and unless the other person (the poor recepient of such questions) really realizes the dumbness of our queries....we don't have a problem do we?
Here are some classic situations in which u might've experienced such questions:
situation #1->U've just returned from a trip/holiday back to ur place ...and the friendly neighbour pops his head and asks with a smile "Hey...so u'r back?"......Hell yeah i am back...
and try giving this answer back and wait for the reaction on his face . ans-> "Nah! It's my ghost standing here wondering why i should not haunt u for the rest of ur life!". lol.
situation #2-> U're holding ur son/daughter's hand at a school parent-teacher meeting and ur friend comes up (who obviously hasnt ever seen ur kid ) and asks "Hey man! That your kid?"
reply-> "Umm no actually i'm into illegal child trade ....this one's just one of the bunch." .
situation #3->U're at the stadium watching a game of soccer,hockey or any other sport that u've bought the tickets for....and an ol' neighbour or a friend comes up only to ask "Dude! Come to watch the game eh?!"
ur answer shud be -> "Actually i am trying to sell illegal drugs here to my customers....wud u like some marijuana?"
And the list goes on..and on...and on.
Be sure to give one the above mentioned answers and wait for their face reaction to change. I promise u ...it'll be funny!
So the next time u meet someone u know at some place that u know what he's doin at....then please dont ask the 'Dumb questions'!
please feel free to leave comments for my blog.
until next time....SEE YA!

Well tell you what ... most people won't be able to socialise if they stop asking those "dumb questions" because that's what all they can muster to ask with the kind of calibre or brains that ... well ... most of us have, apparently.
One of the situations which I wanna share is what almost each and every student in his schooling or college days runs into during the seemeingly everlasting, never-ending exam periods, perhaps inevitably ... Here it goes --> The unfortunate human is trying with all his might to finish some part of the syllabus (so that one is able to scribble something in the exam) by drowning oneself into one of the many fat heavy books (one can even substitute them for a dumbbell !!) ... and then comes the dumb questioner with his million dollar question, when you least need it "So pura syllabus khatam ho gaya (So did you finish up all of the syllabus)" ... We mostly wave it off and reply with a "Don't be such a stupid" or "Are you insane" ... Well I guess there can be this wacky reply which I've never tried before though ... it goes like this "Yaaa ..I've completed the whole of it .. in fact I've even done some few extra chapters too ... revised about 10-15 times ... in fact I've got so bored, I've started working on this thesis titled 'Why do people ask dumb questions?' .... You know what, you seem to be the perfect candidate ... Will you be my subject !!" ....
There is this another situation which we gentle beings face when we are comfortably watching TV with some mouth watering snacks, slouched on our couch ... A friend or colleague of our parents shows up (to our great disgust, many a times) ... and crops up the question like he's got nothing else to ask ... "Beta, padhai kaisi chal rahi hai? (How's your studies going on son?)" ... Instead of this stereotypical one "Yaa uncle (or a nosy aunty, for that matter), absolutely fine, sailing smoothly", we can reply with a more wackier version of it ... This one goes like this "Naaah, not really that great. Infact my studies have just come to an abrupt stop. You see, i just got kicked outta my college for ragging a few 1st years ... But I kept myself available for the Students' Union. I'm very important in my college ... But then got a call form the Al-Qaieda working in Kashmir, POK ... Never thought I did get placed ! ... I can get you a decent quantity of guns and opium if you want !!! ".
