What if real life had sounds, like in movies?Well,youtube has a video for that-see it. I was quite amused at the simplicity of it all-and,what a nice change it would bring,if we could add background music to real life, whenever we wanted.

Frankly, I quite liked my slogan last week. But,they picked another one,which I thought was not sooo funny...
-----------
Only one girl (a blonde) signed up for the high school wood-working class.
The shop teacher said, "This course may be a bit out of your league. Do you have any experience at all working with tools?"
"What exactly do you mean?"
"Well, what's the difference between a nail, a screw and a bolt?" the shop teacher asked.
She pondered the question, then replied, "Well, I don't really know, as I've never been 'bolted.'"

Till next time, keep smiling!

That each word has a repetition of letters except for one letter in it?

If you remove the first letter, you get a palindrome.

Or, if you shift the first letter to the end and read backward, you get the same word.

Hi,Austy-close,but,not exactly what I wanted.:)Hope u checked out the utube one.

Hi,Sol:close...but,not exactly.

Hi,Stony-the second one is correct..i.e. if you shift the first letter to the end and read backwards,you get the same word.Congrats.
And,I didn't realize about the palindrome...but,of course,the words without the first letter don't mean anything..so,we'll go with the second answer.:)

And,glad you like the 'nice jokes'.haha!

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...

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...

Tag:What's in your bag?

(Disclaimer: all the briefcase pics are courtesy goo-gling) Sush ,nee, SS has tagged me(thanks for that,SS)-the (ahem) only guy picked to do the tag...curiosity @ what I carry in my briefcase,apparently.:) So,here goes...be ready to get shocked??Not really.. ---- Currently: Answer is : Nothing..:)hehe..why? Coz I don't carry a bag or a briefcase. Some months back, I decided that I was fed up of carrying...(Well,that appears below)...anything to work. Just decided' Khaali haath aaye the hum, khaali haath jaayenge' applies to my work place,too..and..the rest,as they say, is history..so while people look proud lugging their laptops,their lunches, et al everyday to work..and sweating away in this humid weather, I'm cool,calm, collected...no pressure on the arms,so to speak. All the 'necessities', from otrivin to homeopathic medicine to headache tabs,biscuits,sweet awla,sunflower seeds ..are kept in the drawer of my desk. ---- To continue the tag from the...
