Introduction: A Humorous Analogy

This book intends to give you some humours insight to your daily life without demeaning any group of people or any social relations.

In everyone’s life at least once, one has the experience to utter or hear these two sentences: You are killing me! Or, you are going to kill me! If you are uttering these sentences more than hearing then you have to learn the art of killing or just art of kidding. If otherwise, you can be a teacher in my school, ‘Art of Killing’ or ‘Art of Kidding’.

I have given some tips how to force the other person to utter ‘Oh my God, you are killing me’ or similar sentences. In the last chapter, I have given some tips to become unpopular among different groups of people. What I advise to do if you add only a ‘not’ or ‘no’ in most of my tips it will be your father’s advices to become a good human being. While going through the book, you may identify some of your mistakes while dealing with people. If one can avoid those mistakes, one can be a popular person and make your near and dear happy. So it is up to you whether you want to add a ‘not’ or ‘no’ in all my tips or just take as it is. Some repetitions in the last chapter with some other chapters are intentional.

Originally I thought to give the name of the book as ‘Art of killing’ and then I discarded the name as I have allergy with the word ‘killing’. Then I replaced ‘killing’ by ‘kidding’. However, I feel ‘kidding’ will not be a proper representative of the chapters in the book. Finally, I introduced the last chapter, ‘how to become unpopular’ and decided to give the same name for the book as well.

The book have been divided into different chapters on the basis of some fundamental relations barring the last one where all the relations are put together to have an overview of ‘dos’ and ‘do nots’ in our daily dealings with closely related and other people.

The book is dedicated to all my relatives including my wife, son, daughters and other people including my bosses, colleagues, subordinates and teachers.

I take the opportunity to thank Smashwords for publishing the book in their platform.

Chapter I: Mother and Son

The relation between son and mother is the closest among all the relations barring father and daughter. In most of the cases, mother is at the receiving end in the tug of war of emotional blackmail. It started from day one. When he is only one day old, a mother says, ‘Your eyes are so beautiful, they are killing me!’ or ‘You are so cute, you are killing me, my son!’

When he is six month old, he starts crawling and today he trampled his mother’s best sari/ dress /gown with muddy hands and knees, she screamed, ‘Oh my darling, you have killed me!’He smiled back and he sat on the sari / dress/ gown more comfortably and to his mother’s delight he started tapping the sari/ dress / gown. Instead of being angry, the young mother picked him up in her arms and rubbed his cheeks with her nose and told him, ‘you are killing me, my sweetheart!’

However, for the same types of activities a mother of five year son will admonish him instead of saying ‘You are going to kill me’ with love, she will admonish, ‘if you do it next time you will be --- or she may utter, you have decided to kill me like your incorrigible father!’.

When a mother of teenager sees her son taking cigarettes or wine, his mother would say, ‘You are going to kill me’ or ‘you are killing me’ with a different tone and tenor which is different from those sentences told earlier. I shall be not surprised if she actually
