On popular demand (okay, that I admit is a bit of exaggeration!), here are more of them -isms from my idle brain. If stones are pelted I hope Deeps and Pixie come to my rescue! And just in case you wanna read what came before, you can find them here (Shailisms) and here (Second batch of Shailisms)
- One person’s fact is another person’s fiction, or vice versa.
- Some butterflies (or sunsets) look more beautiful to some people depending on who clicked them.
- In the movies, the one who does not accept any dowry is the hero, but in real life the one who extracts maximum dowry becomes the hero.
- Cheekiness begets bitterness and enmity. Sometimes one has to quietly swallow the best funny retorts to keep peace.
- Why are humans who follow blindly called ‘sheep’? By the sheer number of humans who are seen doing the blind following (in spite of being blessed with a brain capable of thinking), I feel it is the sheep who should be (derogatorily) called ‘humans’.
- As long as women themselves are apologetic about their concern for the welfare and rights of women being interpreted as feminism, there is no hope for women, none at all.
- I don’t care for symbols. I only care for what it symbolizes. A symbol is meaningless independent of what it signifies.
- If women stopped faking orgasm men will no more have inflated… egos.
- When your back is to the light, you see shadows in front of you. Face the light, the shadows fall behind. It is YOUR choice, whether you want to lead or let the shadows lead you.
- When I ask the question WHY, don’t bother to tell me why it is so (Duh! As if I didn’t know), rather tell me WHY IT SHOULD BE SO.
Till I think up new ones and am back again, go take that well needed rest 😉

“When your back is to the light, you see shadows in front of you. Face the light, the shadows fall behind. It is YOUR choice, whether you want to lead or let the shadows lead you.”
Superb, Shail!!!
Just ingenious.
Danke, danke! 🙂

Brilliant Shail!! You need a page dedicated to Shailisms!!
May be I have one already 😉
Ha ha, 3, 4 and especially 5 are brilliant! 🙂
Thanks, Madhu 🙂 Glad you liked them.
Enjoyed reading and ruminating over all 3 lists!
I plan to use a few Shailisms as inspirations for blog posts.
Oh wow. Waiting to read 😀
“I don’t care for symbols. I only care for what it symbolizes. A symbol is meaningless independent of what it signifies.” Wonderful!!! I read through the other Shailisms as well..Like Rajinikanth dialogues!! I can steal some with permission??
Oh yeah, duly credited of course 😉 Rofl at mention of Rajnikanth. 😀
“When your back is to the light, you see shadows in front of you. Face the light, the shadows fall behind. It is YOUR choice, whether you want to lead or let the shadows lead you.” That was so well said!
I’m bookmarking this post and your previous batches of Shailisms for my regular reference! 🙂
Seriously, Shail, your quotes deserve a page of their own 🙂
Looking forward to more. Keep them coming!
Haha. Your enthusiastic support is much appreciated. You and Pixie are the reasons I put up this post sooner 🙂

I’m smiling at No.2! And I agree with Deepa. 🙂
Ain’t No.2 the truth? 😉 Thank you, Corinne.
How true is #3! Sheesh.
Indeed. The dowry-taker and his family in the ‘real’ world are envied! 😦
How brilliant is this! I loved no.9. Excellent!
Thank you, Kajal 🙂
Wisdom quoted in wit, lovely!
