Picking

Picking - one verb/action that is inevitable in a person's life. Few such actions give immense pleasure, based on the context.

Picking flowers from a garden or a fruits from the backyard, the inner pleasure cannot be expressed. Be it Lily, Rose, Marigold or Hibiscus etc, either to offer to God, or to adorn my hair, or to make a lovely face/hair pack, that feeling of nature being with us cannot be expressed in words. And the fruits from the backyard, esp Guava, berries, the fresh texture and taste is just awesome.

After a long, tiresome day, when a family member or a friend picks me up from the bus stop, I am so happy. I don't have to walk for that 5-10 mins. That simple gesture boosts up.

During school days, I fell fell ill for a few days and lagged behind the current syllabus. Had to spend extra time to pick it up and I was happy about it.

And as I grew up, there were pick up lines and that vowie stuff.

Dictionary shows quite a few other phrases using the verb pick and I do not use all of those. Few of them were new to me.

But the most annoying "pick" is ... guess what??? come on... all the ladies would know it for sure... yes... you are right there... almost there... yep.. oh yes... Picking one's nose .... yuck ..

Not in public, please. And not in front of any human being ... please... There are washrooms, bathrooms, one's personal room for all such annoying activities... Kindly do it there. I know one cannot avoid it... but that is a private act and do it so in private.

And why does one do it in an office? At their desk?

Is that a Bodh Gaya Enlightenment(in short, BGE) act for those guys? Esp, when they seem to be lost in work, deeply lost, .... that seems to give them the brightest ideas. Guys, what do you do at home? Grooming at home is easy than that irksome BGE.

AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.... pretending to be decent when a woman passes by them and esp when they are caught in this act; what do they do? they come out of BGE and as soon as she is not-visible, not-seeing-me, not-observing-me zone, it starts all over again. BGE, so many times in a day... doesn't it come just once, the BGE.

And whenever I see such guys, what do I feel???????????????????? replace that comp icon with that guy's face, or nose...

I only wish, there would be a circular/notice/legal law from the HRs, head of the families, and give women the power to enforce that law. If I were given the power to draft and state that law, I would do it as follows:

Whoever indulges in BGE act and thereby irritates the fellow women or induces irritating feeling in them, or pretends to be sane after such BGE, shall be punished with a "chee chee chee" expression from the sufferer or dismissal from that current act or both. A Red handed evidence or for that matter, any evidence is not needed to prove these shameful acts. A simple expression from any female would suffice and any such repeated offence would be to pick them out in public and read out their acts, aloud, to the gathered crowd.
