After I had vetoed a lot of ideas for broken things (a broken toy, a broken Jenga tower, a broken handle of the Grinder jar, a cracked glass…), I remembered once reading about Broken Cookie Syndrome and it had fascinated me then.
Do you remember that you did something small, for example broke a glass, and you burst into tears. Your family or friends told you, “It is only a glass!” But your tears just didn’t stop. They kept gushing out like the water from a dam. Of course, it was not about that broken glass. It was the reservoir of pent up emotions inside you, the back log of stored emotions that found its release through the broken glass. And after a good cry, you felt better. Ever experienced that? Well, that was the Broken Cookie Syndrome you felt!
So, I immediately broke a cookie and clicked it.

Thanks Deeps. Glad you liked this post 🙂
That is true. Sometimes it is not about the broken item, but the piled up emotions finding their way out 🙂
True, very true 🙂

Never heard of ‘broken cookie syndrome’…but, a great idea.
Thanks Janaki 🙂
The broken Cookie looks photogenic, but syndrome yeah,never heard about it.. You always have unique ideas.
Thanks Ma’am 🙂
Hahaha….pic looks cute, but what is the cookie syndrome? Never heard of it 🙂
Now you know about it! 😀
Never heard of this syndrome :).
I read about it when I was once reading about toddler tantrums! 🙂
brought to my mind a phrase from ..i think..”Bruce Almighty”(?)
“Ah well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles”.
and interesting to read about the broken cookie syndrome…didn’t know about that!!
Yeah, this phrase is from Bruce Almighty! 🙂
Ahh, so there is a name for the calm after the storm. How cool Shilpa, you know a lot of these things 🙂 🙂
What other interesting syndromes do you know? I’ll be glad to read that too
LOL 😀 Nothing of that sort, Bhavya… My nephew used to throw in a lot of tantrums as a toddler, so was reading about toddler tantrums … the reasons and how to handle them etc… and came across this BC Syndrome. It was a fascinating new thing and hence it stuck in the memory and remembered it when I was racking my brain for ‘broken’ ideas! :))
Never heard of this syndrome but have experienced this. Good to learn 🙂
Cool 🙂
Oye,I had not heard of this too.Learnt something new again from you:)
😛 Glad to share something new 😛
Wow you are a reservoir of new information. Had never heard of this syndrome but had experienced this many times as a child. BTW the cookie looks delish 😛
I learnt about it accidentally too 🙂
