Close Encounters of the Smelly Kind !!!

 
Being an IndiBlogger,I love all their contests but I hardly participated before (except one) as my main domain  is "Cooking" but then my blog is all about my "Rants and recipes" and none of the other blogs (which I hardly use) was approved by the IndiBlogger, so I guess I will use  this blog as a platform to participate in their contests at times,especially just for the love of writing ! ..that will be fun to read in future I guess :P ...So,it's cooking and more now (Duhh!!)...However,when I came across this contest "#What's that smell, Boss?" ,  I must say I was least interested to participate ...I was like "Not-my-type"..Forget it !!..But then everyday I get these updates/discussions by the Indi-participants in my email regarding this contest ,that as a matter of fact, I literally felt like my Gmail yelling at me "WHAT'S THAT SMELL BOSS?" ..So,when you are questioned,you are suppose to answer and I said,"Alright alright" ...Guess,I will give my take on this and I know this is not what the contest sponsors would love to hear as it may sound little contradictory unless they perceive it in the right sense !! Anyways, here it is....

For the starters,frankly speaking ,I am not a person who would ask someone that question on their face right on,"What's that smell,boss?" ever, if I am not really close to that particular stinky person because I don't like to belittle someone and humiliate thereby as much as possible (unless provoked :P).I've a good tolerance level I must say (atleast for body odors) ,I would better run like "Bhaag Milka err Manju Bhaag."

First of all, I was brought up not to offend someone on such trivial silly matters and secondly, I strictly believe in "Empathy"...because there are more inevitable reasons that can make someone smell real bad (body odors)...may be some one is sick and it's their disease ,that's the real culprit and sometime even though they take measures to cover up those bad odors, they simply can't,then there are those who sweat real bad inspite of taking baths,using deodrants or perfumes ,and there a few others who can't afford deodrants or perfumes simply ....if all these are the case I personally won't dare to question ever and who knows it can happen with me too,when it's summer,I sweat really hard,sometimes I eat foods especially if they contain onions,garlic etc my mouth may stink like sick(Gross I know), sometimes if it was raining heavily,didn't get a chance to dry out my dresses in fresh air or the dryer properly,it may produce unpleasant odor and moreover the deodrant/perfume I use may not be everyone's fav....it can be repellent for someone....so,you know..."IT HAPPENS" !!...Just like DDLJ(Dilwale Dulhani Le Jayenege),a famous Bollywodd movie's dialogue ,"BADE BADE DESHON MEIN AISE CHOTI CHOTI BAATEIN TO HOTI HI REHTHI HAI"...Just chill chill just chilll !!!

However,then there are a few smells like cigarette odors or liquor odors and likewise that is bound to emit pungent smell to others ( and that is well known by the smoker or the drunkard etc) ,if I come across them,then also ,I would merely run for my life to get an oxygen mask ASAP or become like Anil Kapoor in Mr.India movie,"INVISIBLE"...

However,if any kind of unpleasant, unbearable smell emitting from someone I am pretty close to except my sibling or relatives, I may certainly again not ask directly ,"What's that smell ,boss?" instead nowadays ,I just sing !!.Yeahhhh you heard it right !!....I don't know about you,but I am a die hard fan of the famous sitcom,"F-R-I-E-N-D-S" and if you are a big fan,light,AC of that sitcom too like me,remember,one of the character ,"Pheobe Buffay's" famous song "SMELLY CAT" !! It goes like this-

Smelly Cat, Smelly cat what are they feeding you?
Smelly Cat, smelly cat it's not your fault...
They won't take you to the vet.
You're obviously not their favorite pet.
You may not be a bed of roses,
And you're no friend to those with noses.
Smelly cat, smelly cat what are they feeding you?
Smelly cat, smelly cat it's not your fault!

That's exactly I SING !!....and tadaaaaaa....it will be like "Jor ka jhatka dheere se lagaa" .
 or you can call it "What's that smell boss?" song lol...

 And guess what it works like a charm!! ..No one gets hurt but at the same time,gets the right message across to the right people ,haule haule (slowly slowly)!! Bottomline, that's my exact way of asking "What's that smell boss?"

Having said all that,we all should follow all the hygienic measures as much as we can (atleast the basics) to avoid being bullied or ridiculed and mostly for a good health & good vibes around because not everyone will be as mahaan(Great) & forgiving like me:P;P....

So, just like Racold's ,tag line ,"Reborn everyday with hot water" / have a good bath with a good soap and whole body scrub, it not only refreshes your body but also rejuvenates mentally (so topmost thing -never miss!!) and use necessary products like any talcum powders,body lotions/creams,deodrants,anti-perspirants,perfumes,fresh clothes and socks ,brush,tongue clean and floss well,eat well,drink well (I mean water)etc that will keep everything from tip to top smelling fresh and going.. and on the go must haves - travel size deos,perfumes,talcum powders,wipes,sanitizers,mouth fresheners etc to keep you covered in those emergency situations (Temporary fix !!)....and do consult docs if there is an underlying health condition that's what causing those stinks...

You see,"Health is wealth" ...and if health is lost ,everything is lost ....and as they say,"Hygiene is two-thirds of health"..So,don't be a miser here ,never under estimate and TAKE CARE of yourself & others !!! Otherwise be ready to face the consequences /ready to answer when asked- "What's that smell boss?"...

(Note: This is an ongoing Racold's contest "What's that smell, Boss?"in IndiBloggers and my humble attempt ..Hope I followed all rules properly . Facebook link to the contest   and Indiblogger's link to the contest)
