Fear of...

Ever wondered with how many fear of's are you living everyday. Do you fear of anything in your miserable journey called life? Just give it a shot. Think of it once. You did not get any. You won't coz you have been living all your life in a denial mode. So you don't fear of anything? Get real atleast now. See the list below and tell me even if you don't agree with atleast one of them.

It ticked off with Jack sending the word of the day. Ergasiophobia - which means fear of work. He then posed a question saying, what is fear of idleness and what is fear of fear? Not a bad query to get a nut head started.

Me: That's the word of the day. Few more current thought worthy fears.

Fear of shit, fear of chicks, fear of s.x, fear of love, fear of dysfunction, fear of alcohol, fear of cigarette, fear of getting rejected, fear of disasters, fear of bombs, fear of unable to crash monitors, fear of deadline breaking, fear of public hp, fear of ONS, fear of s.x before marriage, fear of infideltiy, fear of traffic jams, fear of late coming, fear of unironed clothes, fear of obesity, fear of hair loss, fear of no mails, fear of Windows, fear of programming, fear of sports, fear of India losing, fear of power cuts, fear of savings, fear of cheating, fear of Religare and fear of Marriage.

I won the first round. Jack definitely did not expect a violent response early in the morning. He was taken aback but he found fear of Religare hilarious because he has a love - hate relationship with it. I asked him, "Did I miss anything? Add few more fear of's. It's heading into the blog".

He: Fear of blogging, fear of reading blogs (this stupid one that you are reading right now), fear of colleagues... ..... (he is stuck thinking should I really write).....

Me: Hehe...fear of reading blogs...boy, that's very funny. Not enough, add few more.


He has no idea where he is heading to. After little persuasion he trickled few more fear of's on an installment basis.

He: Fear of parties, fear of gays, fear of transsexuals, fear of good working colleagues, fear of bad boss, fear of job cuts, fear of high restaurant bills, fear of sleepy afternoons, fear of 4'o clock sun.

Me: Not bad, keep 'em coming...

Fear of typing, fear of bulshitting, fear of smart looking guys, fear of old age, fear of getting trampled, fear of blabbering, fear of low confidence, fear of docs, fear of ppts, fear of 38 waist, fear of non jockey underwears, fear of body odour, fear of slow internet, fear of losing mobile, fear of noida, fear of car driving, fear of fear of's, fear of fund managers.

"This is turning out to be a hilarious exercise", he says and adds,

Fear of snoring, fear of public farting, fear of falling into gutters, fear of Bird Droppings, fear of belching, fear of smoke, fear of machine coffee, fear of BMTC busses, fear of fly overs, fear of age old trees, fear of Bangalore rain... ( he is gasping for breathe now)

Me: Yeah, now you are finally getting into the groove. Fear of bird droppings, stand out one so far. Just cant control laughter imagining the scene. Man hilarious.


I wrapped up the conversation by saying,

Fear of manager, fear of time, fear of in-laws, fear of no funds, fear of testers, fear of bugs, fear of pegs, fear of pubs, fear of aids, fear of holed condoms, fear of removing first shirt button, fear of glasses, fear of contact lenses, fear of chewing gum, fear of sleeping in meetings, fear of appraisals, fear of licking ur new boss' ass, fear of survival, fear of revival, fear of wife arrival, Terror of baayas in train, fear of dumb heads, fear of donating blood, fear of color red, fear of becoming Red.

He forgot what question he posted early in the morning. Subconsciously he knew he won't get an answer and felt enough said. I felt let me leave the rest for the following herd. Get rid of the fear of's one by one, live life and sleep mighty peaceful on your cushion bed.
