All Is Well


Hello,Hello-I'm well and I hope you're all also in the well!!

LOL - no reason to use that fractured English quote, except that I saw a new notice on the garbage room door today, which said' Please do not leave cartoons on the garbage room floor' and, I was grinning away imagining people leaving Tom, Jerry, Popeye, etc on the floor...Strange, what funny ideas the mind gets at times. But then, that's me- when I'm in an off mood, it's difficult for me to make myself laugh...and,when I'm in a light mood, I can be hilarious..for myself as well as others round me.
----
On a slightly different note, the last two weeks have honestly not been the best, for some of my friends- bad news here, there, everywhere- and, that's why I was in no mood to write posts - but then, everyone's resilient-and, I'm sure everyone will come out of their difficult period sooner rather than later...here's saying a silent prayer for them!

I love reading newspapers and news tidbits- 

Some news articles had me smiling, the last few days, even in that down phase.

There was this one about an Aussie who was kept in jail for 24 days and then deported-his crime? He showed his middle finger from his car to an officer in the next car, in a fit of road rage. And, he did not apologize immediately.  So, he got his just desserts in the desert.

Then, there's this article about a judge in a neighbouring country who said at a seminar that a man is allowed to slap his wife if she is extravagant in shopping-an example given was of giving 1200 bucks of local currency to a wife, and she spent 900 on a local dress. So, to show her his displeasure, he can slap her. The last lines said that men have been oppressed enough in these domestic violence accusations and are unable to speak out, so women also deserve to take part of the 'blame'. 

And, there's this article on South Korean scientists who have engineered four beagles that glow red using cloning techniques...they're named 'Ruppy'- combo of ruby and puppy.

You can see these news articles if you google the key words-I'm too tired,it being mid-week, to find out where I stored the links...LOL..maybe if I feel magnanimous tomorrow,I'll add the links...that is, if any of you is too lazy to search for the links...LOL.

Joke for the day:

Observation on restrooms:
Men use restrooms for purely biological reasons.

Women use restrooms as social lounges.

Men in restrooms will never speak a word to each other.

Women who've never met will leave a restroom giggling together like old friends.

And never in the history of the world has a man excused himself from a restaurant table by saying, 'Hey, Tom, I was just about to take a leak. Do you want to join me?
----
Till next time, keep smiling.

Perception

Image
  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?

Image
(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...
