I read an article in the DNA, describing someone who got “tensed” by something. I carried out a search on their website and found numerous such people. Even situations have turned “tensed.”
Naturally, students are tensed about exams quite often. But we also learn that Anjali Tendulkar gets tensed every time Sachin is about to start batting.
Someone faked a kidnapping and his employer got tensed and called the police.
The TOI writes about many tensed people too.
Hope you have a suitably untensed weekend.

I am tense today since I’m waiting for some answers ….
hope it is a good weekend for me!
I am glad to see you have a good idea of the uses of tense, both in terms of verbal form and as an adjective. Hope you get your answers.
Happy 2010! I just stumbled upon your virtual chronicle and absolutely love your world view.
If you get a chance, swing by and say hello. I would love to hear about all your wants, musings, and distractions. Thank you darling and wonderful blog, I will be back regularly.

Thanks, and happy new year to you too
I was looking for a Facebook-type thumbs-up “Like” button for this post. Not tensed at all, mind you.
It’s friday and so typically my non-”tense” day:) Time to unwind and get ready for a quiet weekend especially after the chaotic & past few weekends!
You really do need rest what with all that you’ve been doing. How is your elbow?
not tense at present, was tense in the past sometimes, hope not to be tense in the future.
Hahaha!!
true, how will you feel secured if you have that tensed feeling? no point, I say… (in other words, only insecured people feel tensed?)
Aaaargh, you found one of my other bugbears!
But then you can’t blame them! They do, after all ‘loose’ all sense of spelling when they get tensed!
How sad that the “journalists” are also tensed.

I watch this to “untense”
Thanks, that was joyous!
Reading this has tensed me:(
Bechaari Inglis:(
RIP
Precisely, I get tied up into knots of tensedness reading this sort of stuff. Have written to them more than once about it, but do they care?
Train journeys tense me, though I realise there is no point in getting tense. But your post somehow reminds me of old Reader’s Digest editions
Perhaps I will get one at the railway station. Did i say I am travelling today? 
You mean the grammar sections?
Have a good journey and I hope it doesn’t make you too tense!
Always a pleasure to read someone sharing your hatred for a word
A few days back I read some journo speaking about the sudden spate of suicides among teenagers in India who mentioned that a majority of them are “insecured”. And in a span of one minute – not once, but thrice.
Ouch! I see Charu has raised precisely the same point which I didn’t read before sputtering out my comment. Joy !
Now we have to get the reporters to listen to us!
