Creativity at its best.......

Its been almost 6 years since i saw this board....and it never ceased to amuse me whenever i see it....it always brings a smile on my face....finally captured it in the frame....creativity at its best

Bride hunt...

i happen to drop on a conversation today...i was in the bus...two persons (not city people...they were villagers)...were busy discussing an interesting topic...one of them was on a bride hunt for a 'suitable boy' from his relation...his point was...if you really want to know what the girl is like...you should never ask her parents...reason being..obviously they will tend to hide her shortcomings...or will sugar coat them...u go and ask her school teacher...how does she fare as a student when she was in school...did she fight often? did she adjust with other classmates...so when she is out of her home...in a comparatively unknown and new territory...thats where you will identify the real 'she'....

i have read somewhere...if you want to know a 'real' person...observe how he behaves in public...how he handles stress situations...how he behaves with hotel waiters, fellow commuters in traffic, society watchman, vegetable vendors, customer care executives in banks etc etc...

this conversation was on the same lines...but it coming from those villagers...i was highly impressed...boredom of bus journey was nowhere in sight when i got down to my destination...

Second chance...

I always wonder how people manage to say time & again....that they have no regrets whatsoever in life...even when they are still quite young....i mean i have a whole lot of them...i am thinking of making a list actually...and they just keep on adding as life goes on....they start right from the early childhood days....and list is just endless from there....in future somewhere down the line...if God decides to be kind to me....and asks me

'CHOOSE ONE THING YOU WANT TO REDO'...i will struggle to choose that elite one...

btw...do 'I want a redo of wimbledon final last year and want fedex to win'...or 'a redo of 2003 world cup final...and see india winning...' come under personal regrets??

There will always be a next time....but i dont want that second chance...i want the first chance for the second time....

Amhi fakt karnar samiksha....

Just a few moments back....we were enjoying ourselves...sitting in a balcony...and doing nothing....living on the 5th floor do have some advantages after all...we have the best view of the road below...its fun enjoying the traffic below...when you r not into it...just then we witnessed an accident...an auto overturned...and crashed on to a lamp post...within a few seconds a large crowd gathered...passers by stopped....for a few seconds whole world came to a standstill...i was wondering how many of these are really interested....why r they not coming forward to help....do they really care what happened to that riksha wala...or the passengers....dont they have something better to do than enjoying the 'tamasha'..i even managed to come up with Mi Mazha lines at the right time...'Badalyche kam baki jagache...amhi fakt karnar samiksha'....and then i looked at myself...ashamed..amazed...these few moments of chaos down there did bring some break for otherwise quite late evening....what right i have to comment on those people??

Parallel Processing.......

Spending way too much time on the internet, i browse a lot of sites each day and inevitably open the interesting links in a new tab so that that page is all loaded up while i am done reading with the present one. Sometimes i jump to the next one while the pictures are loading and get back again once i read a gist. Suddenly i get an IM in another window and am forced to reply there. I keep checking whether i have received the email in my mailbox on another tab. I dont get any...is a different thing altogether...Then suddenly i get a reminder alarm from McFee telling me that it is time for me to renew my subscription. i have too many tabs open on my browser window and am sure i didnt read a few that i wanted to. All this along with playing with my daughter, catering to her tantrums, watching meaningless talk shows on BBC channels and thinking about one & the other things of life...I guess i am pretty much into parallel processing too much than necessary. The great human brain is very well equipped to handle these...sometimes it needs rest for sure...

This has taken control of my life too...while reading a book, i am almost running thro' the words these days, with the brain runs a few steps ahead forming an almost clear picture of the paragraph from the two lines the mind has read. Thanks to my will power i manage to read the entire paragraph though...Even while cooking...which is irritatingly seen as my hobby is turning into a parallel processing scheme......when dal is in pressure cooker...i am already into how the sambhar will taste...

Previously, i used to be proud of this quality saying that it is the trait of a true Geminian.

But sometimes i feel it messes up my ability to produce something good...i really need to focus my mind...one topic at a time..

The world that never sleeps...

Its night time as usual....and i am doing what i loved to do most...doing nothing...staring at the ceiling...eyes wide open...but couldnt see anything....then i closed my eyes...the moment i did that...a whole world started dancing before my eyes...the one that never sleeps...

Blogging is such a pain....

Blogging should be banned and all the sites along with it....why r they doing this to me...i am totally hooked...addicted...and now i haven't written anything for 2 weeks....and losing sleep over it...Its 2:00a.m.....I am sitting here staring at my laptop with the dumbest look on my face....when i am supposed to be sleeping peacefully...dreaming of some crazy stuff...but the thing is i don't know what to write and where to start...

In the meantime...i found out a wonderful quote....'you can trust a enemy because you know what to expect. Honestly, Its the friend who you should be afraid of....you will never know how will he behave next....well...well this is nothing to do with my life...i am crazy about friends....its a universally known fact...and let me be clear with it...in spite of having wonderful families pre and post marriage...i just cant live without friends....

to come back to the business called blogging...i wonder how these column writers survive?...to come up with topic every week...and to write on that topic...they must be truly talented....so first thing i want to do tomorrow is find a way to transfer all the thoughts in my mind on to paper....oh well...what the hell....i am an addict...i confess that...
