Tittle-Tattle

Starting with my mobile alarm.I usually set my alarm at 5:30 or 6:00 with a hope of waking up early. At morning one of my friends who are sleeping beside me yells Reddy, Reedddyy, Rrreeeddddyy After a while I wake up with great effort and pick up my mobile then press snooze, after 10 mins of happy sleep again mobile starts ringing with its irritating alarm. As I am more adamant than the mobile this snoozing activity continues till 7:45. Finally with all scolding (What is this, nonsense and all) i wake up.


I reach company gate between 8:38:35 to 8:40:54. Only important task at that moment for me is to punch identity card before 8:45:59. This is the only instance in my day where i value time in seconds. I run from gate to punching location on 70% of days. After so much of struggle, starts morning meeting, issues etc etc... After that I settle before my PC and start checking mails. I feel irritated on checking reply mails given by counter part. They can't understand my concern, and i can't understand their concern. After so much of disgust i start putting my concern once again to counter part, this time trying to be at my best, but finally I end up being worst.


This is all because Keyboard is so messed up with very close letters. You can imagine what something harmless like duck could easily become just because the d and f are just one key apart.

The other one is because of the guy who has invented alphabets. I'm sure you've observed how the letter m looks like r and n together. If you haven't.

Check this now m rn. Another similar letter is d. Observe this d cl.This one is really dangerous. As there are many words which give entirely different meaning just by replacing d with cl or vice versa. Have a look at this example. Imagine the way a sentence like "shop with just one click" can turn out to be. How much embarrasing it is to make such a mistake.

Explaining things to Japanese is really a painful task. While writing mails you have to be darn careful.

And you have to send attached files explaing with figures,arrows,text boxesetc...

After so much of running and morning meeting issues, i sit up for writing mails, where i end up doing all kinds of mistakes.

See blow (below) mails for what I wrote and the correct/edited version of the mail.
