Questions are unquestioned part of our mysterious life. We face questions that insist us to stop, think and answer. Mostly, we try to answer anyhow some questions, avoid them or simply reject the questions for not making any sense. In your day-today’s life, people put many simple, short and objective questions in front of you. It isn’t necessary that every time you face a question you are in problem. Some questions are just meant to be asked, and you are not supposed to answer them as if you are writing a test paper. Some questions carry the answers themselves. People ask questions even when they know the answer, people argue with themselves, and expect someone else to participate in that futile dialogue.
In this blog post, I will be dealing with two most common questions we face every day. We understand FAQs are meant to help you by providing useful information, but the following questions put you in dilemma.
? What’s up? :- These two irritating words we hear hundreds of times in a day. Almost 98% people we meet include ‘What’s up?’ in their greeting. Experts say that ‘What’s up?’ stands for many questions- How are you? How you doing your things? What are you doing? What plans you have in mind? How things are going at your side? etc. They may be your friends, colleagues, neighbors, or the shopkeeper from whom you buy daily news paper. They simply greet you-Hello, Hi! Or Good morning! How are you?, and put that useless phrase in a typical tone. The way people pronounce the phrase ‘what’s up’ indicates that your answer is not expected or not worth to be mentioned, or even if you reply it won’t be considerable. Isn’t it Amazing? I think, it’s amazing because you are surrounded by people who just show their interest in you as if they are doing a charity.
This might have happened to you when you enter in your office. Your colleague or manager passes through you by chance, and he throws a scrappy line upon you- Hi! What’s up? You turn back with a big smile on you face to tell what happened this weekend, but you can hardly see anyone standing there to hear your reply. This is just ridiculous! The question remains how to answer “What’s up?” and how to get rid from this irritating phrase I suggest you to follow my trick. Somebody once asked me what’s up, and I just looked up and said- its sky! ;) It works, believe me.
? What’s next? :- Did you say ‘next’? Or did you ask what will be Future? This is another two wordy questions with a lengthy, bold and highlighted question mark that leaves us with blank mind and bare handed in any situation. You never know what’s going to be your future. The phrase ‘What’s next?’ comes to your mind frequently, for instance, when you finish a life taking test, after you proposed your dream-girl, when you came out facing a lengthy interview or when you start brawl with a cracking slap. All these times you never know what will at the next moment. Thousands of thoughts may come into your mind.
The interviewer never knows who will be the next candidate to whom he will interview when he says ‘Next!’ in authorizing attitude. The next candidate can be replaced to the interviewer. You may predict the result of a cricket match, but you can’t tell what’s going to be on next bowl, can you?
Since you have just done with reading/skimming or jumping my write up, I can’t help asking you what’s up? ;)
