Dear NN,
Off late so many people have started asking ‘What plans for the weekend?’. Why on earth should someone have plans for the weekend? Avan avan life/career/finance idha plan panradhukuLLaye maNdai kaayaran. Idhula weekend vera plan paNNi tholayanuma? What difference is it going to make? Please suggest me some good replies that I can use, when people ask me ‘What plans for the weekend?’

Dear Manasatchi,
Relax relax. No tension. Drink water. Take deep breath. Ok. Now feeling better? See, many a times people talk for the sake of talking. They dont have anything to talk, and ask these type of questions for the sake of asking. They are harmless. You can say ‘Nothing special’ and sensible humans will leave it at that. But there are some kool dude type who go on ‘Come on man. How can you have no plans? How boring?’. These type of people are really irritating. You can say ‘Yeah, am planning to go to Switzerland this weekend’. They will be taken aback and ask you ‘Huh? Are you serious?’. You can say yes. They will again ask ‘Come on man. You are kidding me. It will take 1 day for traveling itself.’ You can say ‘Yeah I know. But then you asked me what I am planning only right? Not what am going to implement. My plan is to visit Switzerland this weekend’. They will never ever ask you, what plans for the weekend once again!

Yeah.. Its something which I used to tell my father when he used irritate me with the question “what are your future plans?”…..Sometimes the best weekends happen when one doesnt plan it…

The most irritating part is - sometimes, you actually begin to answer like - watch a movie, go shopping.. when you are interrupted with - you’re going to watch a movie this all weekend????
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
Agree with Sshhhhh …..Sometimes the best weekends happen when one doesnt plan it…
