"Bheja nu dahi"

Ever seen the slushy mucky snow that's all mixed with specks of dirt? The one that totally spoils your day if you so much as think of the possibility of stepping into it? (Not that the kind of weather that begets that kind of snow means a good day anyway, but you know what I mean.) Well, my brain seems to have turned into that. Don't ask me why. Don't ask me anything until Thanksgiving. If you do, I'm not responsible.

Time: Yesterday, past 6:00pm.
Place: My lab, my desk.
People: My colleagues S and G, and myself.
Who's where: I and S at my desk discussing something, G can be heard (although not seen) working on the system right outside the lab.

Me: We need reinforcements.... (calling out) G?
G: (still from outside the lab) Yes?
Me: Are you there?

S takes a look at me. I look back at her - and realize what I just did. In S's language I made the typical "attendance goof-up", i.e., The teacher in a classroom announcing, "Ok, all those absent today, put your hands up."

As I said, I'm not responsible.

P.S. The title translates to "(My) brain has morphed into yogurt."
