Hang on to time



Thought for the day:When people tell us something can't be done, they don't mean we can't do it. They actually mean THEY can't do it."

(Well,they selected some other caption as the best.LOL)


Now, it's time to talk about:::Time:
Did you ever think of keeping your watch/wall clock 10-15 minutes behind schedule, so that you could work in a relaxed manner?I bet you didn't. I bet most of us don't. My wrist watch is 10 minutes fast,my cell phone clock is also 10 minutes fast(on purpose,of course). The table clock at home is 15 minutes fast, the alarm clock equally fast. All because,even though the subconscious knows that the watch is fast, I still ensure that I am on time or before time. Sometimes,it gets so confusing,that I just don't know what the correct time really is! So,reach for the landline and check the time showing there...LOL.
Go on the street,and you will spot one out of five people staring at his watch and making the funniest of expressions of disgust. The maximum I see of this phenomenon is at our railway stations. The favourite topic is: 'the train's late today,again'. Or, 'Oh,wow-the train's on time for a change'. Then,there're the offices,especially in India,where the receptionist sits,red pen in hand,to put a red mark against all the employees who turn up 10 minutes late for work.

Isn't it high'time' that we gave up this obsession and allowed our lives to move as they should-without time-stress,without wanting to rush from one place to another 'on time'.

On to the end jokes:

Man : Doctor; I have come on a vacation for a month, so that I can get myself treated fully within this period.
Doctor: I think you should go to the Doctor opposite to my clinic, see that board.
Man: No, doctor, I have come to you only.
Doctor: But, gentleman I am a Veterinary Doctor. I am an animal specialist. I do not treat human beings.
Man: I know that doctor, very well, and that why I have come to you.
Doctor: I cannot treat you, because you speak like me, think like me, talk like me which means you are a human being, and not an animal.
Man: I know I am a human, but listen to my complaint first.
Doctor: OK. Tell me.
Man: I sleep vigilantly like a Dog thinking about my workload the whole night
I wake up in the morning like a Horse.
I go to work running like a Deer.
I work all the day like a Donkey.
I run around for 11 months like a Bull without any holyday.
I wag my Tail in front of my bosses.
I play with my children like a Monkey if I get the time.
I am like a Rabbit in front of my wife.
Doctor: Do you work in the Gulf?
Man: Yes.
Doctor: Instead of telling me this long history, you should have told me in the beginning that you are working in the Gulf. Come on man, no one can treat you better than me.

Perception

  Hi all positive people.. a topic I often think over.. it's something which helped a lot in changing my thoughts towards the positive side (Again, learned via the Secret)... and, still does, in this always continual learning curve. The subject: Perception... my own perception: Think over it, specially, your negative thoughts and emotions about people and things - you find someone to be angry, you find them to be always complaining, you hate(That's the worst negative word, according to me.. better to dislike than hate, if you have to) someone or something. Think over it... are those persons or things like that? Or, it it your perception of how they are? Have you tried to put yourself in their place to see if they are, deep inside worried about something else, and that worry comes out as irritation towards you? One of the best remedies: Smile, bless that person or those persons and wish them all the best.. if they don't change, nee, not them, but YOUR perception of them does

‘Vaandro udhto udhto gayo’( A flying monkey just went by)….a remark that gave me the first laugh of the day today. A sudden sound of a parrot-like screech coupled with something like hooves clickety-clacking on the vehicle-less road caused the tea guy at the tea stall ask ‘what was that’? and, a guy sitting nearby retorted thusly. I just tried imagining a flying monkey, and couldn’t help grinning away in the dark.(I still don't know what had caused the sound, btw) Life’s like that- if you keep your ears open, you can never have a dull moment. We had our Building’s AGM two days, back, at 730 PM, on the terrace. It was accompanied by a simple, catered dinner, since it’s also an annual get-together. The catering guy had set one table with the actual dinner, and the other one at a right angle, was slightly in the dark, so you could just about see something in the thalis(huge plates). So we took a plate,etc, and, first took the salad, then, the achaar or something like it, and then th

Inventions and Discoveries

I'm really curious. Who invented the 'Va'. Or the 'Sha'. Or the 'Wi'. Or some such words. No, they're not some illnesses or prefixes. These are the words we invent when talking to people. I see the usage the max, specially in Baroda. Like: 1. Chai-Vaai peeni hai?(Want to have some Chai-Vaai?) 2. Naashta-Vaashta kar liya?(Did you have Naashta-Vaashta?) 3. Chutney-Vutney hai kya?( Is there any chutney-vutney?) 4. Lift-Wift nahin hai kya building mein?(Isn't there a Life-Wift in the building?) 5. Bombay-Wombay/ Dubai-Shubai kab jaa rahe ho ab?(When are you going to ....?) 6. Paise-Vaise milenge time pe ya nahin?(Will you get Paise-Vaise on time or not?) There are so many others I come across during the day, like, say speaker-veeker, phone-vone, kapde-vapde, dukaan-vukaan, that I have these rhyming words coming out of my ears, and, Arghhh!! Since the last few days, even I've started talking like this. Hopefully it won't be too rampant on my blo
