Ooopssss

At some time or the other we have all made a fool of ourselves, we all have done things which where embarrassing, the time when we wanted to run and hide. I have had my share of such moments, two such incidents that I would always remember I share here with you people.

Been a natural sportsman, represented the College in every single game that the College took part in. however never got a chance to play Tennis, although I have been an ardent fan and follow it closely on TV, looks so easy. One day this gal invited a few of us to play tennis at her farmhouse. Even though I had never held a racket I was so excited. Finally we were there 7-8 guys n gals. The game began and it was my turn to show that untapped talent…. time for me to serve. Threw the ball up and came down real hard at it….the way Andy Roddick does it all day….hey where is the ball……is the court a bit small….the ball had sailed over the court….the 12 feet high fence at the back too wasn’t high enough.. it had disappeared somewhere in the tall grass outside……felt so embarrassed, and in front of all those gals……what to hide you know how guys always want to put there best foot forward in front of the other sex…….and here I was making a fool of myself…….

The other incident not too different ..someone dragged me along to a Golf Range while in was in London. You pay and get a basket of balls which u can hit. Again I had never held a club, anyway I put the ball down….this guy gave a few tips……..feet a lil apart….don’t bend that elbow……I was ready …. soo sure that I going to hit this ball real long…..by now a few guys had gathered there….waiting for there turn……finally i swing ..but the ball hasn’t moved an inch……can’t really believe that…..

Hmmmmm another swing and same result…..shit……...what these guys must be thinking……one more time………the ball still sits there mocking at my plight……wanted to smash it to bits and bury myself ………

How about you people narrating at least one such incident ….i am sure you can say it here…. I promise not to tell any one else : )

  • Well I have had more embarassing moments than sane ones..lol...

    one I can never forget is something that happened when I was on my way to the REM concert in Sydney...

    We had to park the car and had to walk a fair bit to the entertainment centre...there was a busy intersection and it was our turn to cross the road...all cars stopped waiting for pedestrians to cross. I in my beautiful tights and flashy red top and hair all done...n in high heels...started walking...suddenly I was busy landing on my knees...WOOOOSH BANGGGGG n I just slipped n fell in front of a million cars! I was soooo angry n sad..and felt really stupid...lol!

    However that didnt stop me from enjoying the concert...wut a rocker it was!

  • I mentioned about that long back at keshi's blog.
    This was when i newly joined kavita's gym. Made some new friends there, everybody knew some general things about each other. There was this stupid girl, who always used to act smart with everybody, but i used to ignore her mostly. One day we were relaxing after our work-outs and chatting on general things...suddenly this girl came up with the most stupid question i had ever heard in my life...."Raj u live alone, u r not married, u dont hv any gf, how do u cope with the hormunal outburst?" The gals started laughing like idiots, the guys were stunned...and i was so embarassed....

  • lol nice incidents there. I cherish my first ever embarassing moment. I was in a strict school. And I, of course, always hated rules. I was in my eighth standard, by the way. And I had booked tickets for the noon show that day with a couple of my friends. And I told them, "You guys wait. I'll scale the compound wall. And let you know if it's safe." Saying that, I got on top of the wall and looked down. There was nobody. I told them that it was all clear and that we had nothing to worry about. Saying so, I jumped down and hollered, "Guys! Come on fast."
    "Who are you calling out now?" said a voice from behind.
    My head-master. :(

  • i'm late here:-(...!

    ahaa...embarrasing moments! wayyy to many but i have to think of sumthin tht i can mention here rite! lolz..thinkingg of uncensored moments...

    there's one quite similar to keshi's and what makes it worse is i have several cousin's to keep reminding me of that!i fell flat on my face during a concert....it hurt!! my feet and my ego!

    then again times when we played "truth or dare" gave me sum embarrasing moments!...

    but incidently my most embarassing moment is also my most memorable and romantic moment...and i wrote this in sum other blog's comment section too...

    this was when i wz in school and had gone wid frenz to watch a movie (it was a sick movie!) and a guy i knew well got down on his knees (there in the middle of the movie theatre) and sang...a song...for me!...everyone forgot the movie! and i was like..."sshh!! sshh!! stopp!!"...my face was red and i just wanted to disappear!...lolz...

    did the story have a happy ending? welll for sumtime it did!

  • AAh embarrasing moments...Lots.Here's a funny one to share

    While in college, me and my girlfriend were walking out of a class. I was a fast walker and a few steps ahead of her. I wanted to grab her hand and pull her to walk fast with me. Without turning my head in the back, I pulled a hand into mine and started walking and talking even w/o looking at the face whose hand I had held. After almost getting away from t eh college premises, a voice tells me 'excuse me' and turn towards a face which looked like that of a guy. My girlfriend was nowhere at the sight, I was totally embarrased to have pulled some stranger and not even glance at him. :P
