Farce Conditions in Real Life

When you call an Uber driver to tell him that you’ve booked a cab (in India it is very common that a cabbie would cancel your ride for this unworthy reason that you didn’t call him/her/they to tell where to come, even though you’ve put an exact location), and he has said that he’ll be there in a minute, but cancels your ride for no apparent reason is farce.

American Pie movies are the best example of farce especially for Indian Colleges (where not even a single thing even relates to let alone happens).

When you are told by your mother to cut veggies after being denied a million times in absolute distrust and you aren’t able to do it fast enough for her. It’s a live farce out of you.

I’ll keep updating more farce conditions.

The Inability Of Things

I don’t know what the word qualm means, so let’s see what google says:

Last night, I was walking on the road with my mother after dinner. We’ve recently shifted to a small, congested two bed room apartment (the space is worth one bedroom apartment) after we had to leave the big house provided by government, since my father has a state government job (he was recently transferred). We had to rent a place because mother isn’t going anywhere for now, since she has her 8 years of job left that she do not want to leave so that family wouldn’t suffer financial set or cut backs. And also because she can’t live with father because they separated about a year back.

The house is in the vicinity of the highest place in the town and away from the chatter of all people. The road in the night is deserted since not many people live around. Even still, she said to me

I couldn’t walk here if I was alone, it’s so deserted. 

And I told maa that she could, but I knew less of what she was feeling, so I just tacitly said a mmhmm, albeit filled with concern, worry and in parts my inability to do anything about making things safe for girls and women.

A maze was inging too much in the 1940s knowing not to do elsewhat. It’s been doing it ever since. I think the peak was during the World War 2, what else could it be? If you are a historian / history enthusiast, you could conjecture, tell me things I might not know about the above guess in the comments below. Even if you aren’t, guess what else could have been that/those event(s) that might have made the use of maze spike during 1940s.

That said it would be interesting to know how Google figures out the Mentions of a word. I’ll try to find it out if it is public data and post about it!
