The Jinxster Strikes!!

Now, I usually do not talk about other people I have met, simply because they have not made much of an impact that warrants me to take the time off and put their antics on my page. But this guy takes the cake.. and smacks it on your face..!! :-)

It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you Jenkins Anand a.k.a Jinxster (I take sole credit for giving him that ultra cool name...!!)

  

 I have known Jinxster in passing for the last couple of months. We worked in different teams of the same process at office. All that changed for the worst when we were assigned to another team in another office and were put together in a team for that purpose. After the initial mandatory 1.5 days of icebreaking, we unleashed hell. By "we" i mean our entire 8-member team collectively. Say hi now to Jijila, Arhit, Divya, Mercy, Thilak, and Suneetha. But they are all in the background on this one. This is all about the Jinxster and noone else!!

  

This guy has an opinion on everything, and can talk about anything under the sun for an undefined period of time. With a license to kill, his weapon of choice is his mouth, though he is primarily skilled with a scalpel. From downright absolute local mokkais to interesting facts from around the world, his tongue lashes everything that dares to come up in his mind.

  

Said to have his kidneys in place of his brains, as determined by Arhit and me, he cares a rat's ass for what people think about what he says - its all in the spur of the moment and absolutely well-timed. Sarcasm is a deftly wielded weapon and he makes no qualms about letting people feel the chills from it, as long as they understand what he says; mainly because he's onto his next pun even before most people register his previous joke and who it was butted on!

  

Like most professional stand up comic artists, this gent can boast of having been around the world quite a bit - from doing medicine in Russia, to eating a snake in China, he seems to have done it all! But Russel Peters has nothing to fear, young or rather "old" Jinxster has not decided to usurp the throne of the Comedy King for the time being. He is rather preoccupied with proving people wrong that BPOs are for losers. His point being, "mebbe they are for losers, but they sure throw up champions after a BPO experience" whether that's the truth or just his defense on why he's in the BPO industry, we may never know.. However, the day I learn of it, I will post it up!

  

The worldly wise man that he may be, he sucks at playing dumb charades! An incident to prove this - The Group of 8 decided to play dumb charades after lunch. And since almost everyone was tired of the Jinxster's verbal diarrhea from the morning, it was decided that the only way to shut him up was to make him the dumb guy. For starters, I decided to make him portray the movie "Quantum of Solace". This is how he does it..

  

Jinx walked up to the head of the table and shows three fingers to signal that it consists of 3 words. Noted. He then pauses to think and all of a sudden, he brightens up having thought up of the perfect way to portray the movie. I am intrigued. He puts up his fingers again and signals to the third word. He then signals for a split in the word. OK so far. Now he lifts up his foot and indicates the sole of his shoe. Arhit calls out "SOLE". Jinx is elated!! All smiles, he now signals the second part of the third word. He points to his butt. Arhit once again calls out "ASS". Jinx is beyond happiness! He then signals to Arhit to combine both the parts. Any guess as to what Arhit came up with??

  

Ass + Sole = Asshole

  

After that flopped, we asked him why he didn't point out to the lace on his sneakers after he showed the sole, after all that would have guided us closer and without that outburst of laughter for the Asshole. He was blank, then he came up with his punch line "maapla, this is called being creative!!"

  

God save the world, Aamen!
