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,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

‘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
