Some Sizzling Scintillating Speculations

Without spending more than a second or two on each question,  tell me, do you remember: 1. When you wear your shoes, which foot do you put the socks in, first?And, which shoe do you put on,first? 2. When you button up a shirt, which buttons do you begin with-the top or the bottom? 3. What's the colour of your drawing room walls? 4. If you answered number 3 correctly, what's the colour of your bedroom walls and kitchen? 5. What is the name of the first shop you see when you come out of your home/building/bungalow? 6. What were you wearing yesterday? What colour? (If your answer is 'nothing', skip this question, coz that's not really a memory recall. And, this question is not directed at nud*sts) 7. What's the name of your regular grocery guy?(This one's very easy for me-there're three,and all are called 'Rajubhai') 8. What's the date today? 9. If you read the newspaper headlines today, repeat one headline. 10. What was the last di...

(PS What'd be your caption for this pic?) Mine is: 'OMG-I'm tagged'. I  was  tagged by LP(Thank You, LP)   to do this tag some days back. Here goes- hope I can do as good a job of it as she did:   1. What is your current obsession?   The Secret-the book, the movie, the audio. 2. What are you wearing today? Something decent. LOL. 3. What’s for dinner? It’s still breakfast time-which was branflakes with cold milk, and two slices wholemeal bread. 4. What’s the last thing you bought?   Green tea with fresh panchamrut mix-right after my walk in the park-small glass, enough energy to last for 3 hrs. 5. What are you listening to right now? Just listened to(during my walks): Dhan Te Nan, Dil Bole Hadippa(Three rocking songs-title, Bhangra Bistar, Discowaale..., perfect for walking fast),and some more racy numbers. 6. What do you think about the person who tagged you? Fun-loving, good writer. Has her heart in the right place.:) 7. If you could have a hous...

While I write the next post(another tag,courtesy LP), ponder over this:(I posted it in my other blog ) The disciples were absorbed in a discussion of Lao-tzu's dictum: "Those who know, do not say; Those who say, do not know." When the master entered, they asked him what the words meant. Said the master, "Which of you knows the fragrance of a rose?" All of them indicated that they knew. Then he said, "Put it into words." All of them were silent.  Something worth pondering over, na?

Here's some news from Baroda: - Boating was restarted at Sursagar Lake. And, a near disaster was averted- some of the invitees were getting into a boat, one of them sat too close to the edge and the boat tilted dangerously, followed by the floating ramp on which people were standing, also tilting. Ultimately, two of the councillors fell overboard, but luckily, no-one got hurt. And, the courageous councillors still took a boat ride after the incident, just so that the wrong signals do not go out to people and they avoid boating in the lake. (Pic courtesy Vadodara's page on FB) Incidentally, boating was stopped some years back, when a boat had capsized in the Lake due to overloading, and some poor people had lost their lives. ---- For those who'd like to know more, Sursagar Lake is in the heart of Baroda City. Sur-Sagar stands for 'Seven Wells'- there're seven deep spots in the lake, which are marked so that they're easily visible. The lake has an...
