Ego's Love Story

Read this story somewhere and decided to share!

Once upon a time there was an island ,where all the "feelings" lived .

One day there was a storm in the sea and the island was about to get drowned. Every feeling was scared but "Love" made a boat to escape. All the feelings boarded the boat except one. "Love" got down the boat to find that it was "Ego" which did not board the boat. "Love" tried a lot but "Ego" didn't even move an inch. The water level was rising continuously. Every other feeling told "Love" to leave "Ego" behind and join them on the boat, But love was made to love. With no other option left, all the other

 feelings escaped and "Love" died with "Ego" on the island itself!!

LOVE dies because of EGO. 

Kill EGO and save LOVE!!!!!

A little wisdom won't bite us :-P

Adding some color to life :-)

My mother and brother have been calling me scatterbrains for quite some time now. I keep forgetting stuff these days. I don't get to tease my brother for doing stupid things because he doesn't do very many of them. But me...not so much!

When I came back from my trip last week, I saw, much to my surprise that my brother had cleaned the entire house in the absence of my sister-in-law...He had even done the laundry!!

I looked at some of the whites that had been washed and felt that something was not right. They were all kinda pinkish and greenish and purplish...Hmmm. Somehow, my brother decided that it would be OK to wash a bright pink/green/purple top with a bunch of white stuff. Now we have a bunch of pinkish greenish purplish stuff. I was not going to rag him about it since he had cleaned the whole house. Now, wouldn't you think that after all these years he would know not to put the bright colors with the whites??


I asked him about it out of curiosity and he said he thought after a few washes the clothes didn't bleed anymore!! Well....I guess we could always use some color in our lives :-) Pinkish greenish socks are more fun than the white ones :-/


It's nice to not be the only one! They say that misery loves company. I guess stupidity does too!!!!

Epic Takeaways on an extremely boring Monday!!

Before I start the story, let me tell you that I have found no references to this story in the epics whatsoever.  However, the narration I heard from someone was so hilarious and convincing that I decided to post it here...

Once upon a time...long long ago...when the Pandavas were around...

The Pandavas, smart that they were, devised a method to signal each other, when they wanted some "alone time" with the beautiful Draupadi.

Each time a Pandava brother found her alone, he escorted her to the royal chambers leaving their footwear at the chamber entrance. Let’s just say, two pair of footwear was the equivalent of a "Do Not Disturb" :-) [Me wondering: They could as well have bolted the door...but on second thought....didn't they have doors in those times!!???]

One day, the third Pandava brother Arjun was biding time with Draupadi. That particular day, however, a dog which was hungry, decided that the footwear kept outside a room full of passion is no good!! So, he took a pair of footwear to one corner of the palace and happily chewed on it :-)

That same day, the eldest Pandava brother Yudhisthir got his work done and rushed to the royal chambers. Seeing just a single pair of footwear outside, he rushed inside right upto the bedside. Much to his shock and dismay, not only did he see the bed occupied but also more than he would have liked to see!!

He stormed right out of the chamber and called an emergency meeting to discuss this break in protocol. Soon, they all realized that a dog had been the culprit! At this juncture, Yudhisthir invoked one of his heavenly favors. Since that day, the dog knows only public displays of affection!!!!!

MORAL: 

1) If you are a dog, don't even look at royal designs!!!

2) An encrypted signal without integrity can lay your privates bare!!!!

Why does it rain??

Many of you might have heard the reason for why it rains from your mother at some point in your childhood. Well, if you haven't, then here's the reason :

Kid - Mom, why does it rain? Where does rain come from?
Mom - Sweetie, God is crying...those are his tears!
Kid - Mom, but why is God crying?
Mom - Probably because of something you did :-)

Limitation of human RAM or what?

I usually have so many thoughts running in my head (don't you have too?) and very often throughout the day, I think of writing about them to just get it out of my head...just free my mind out of the clutter. But at the end of the day I'm so exhausted thinking about a hundred different issues and juggling ten different priorities that it becomes irrelevant and I forget why I wanted to post it in the first place!

I remarked to a friend of mine recently that I often find myself remembering dozens of things at the same time that it clutters my mind. To that, the friend said that "a human being can remember only seven different things at the same time" :-) Is that true? I don't know...may be it's the limitation of the human RAM :-)

This might be true...but I've gotten so used to this multitasking mode of mine that the most important things always stay on top of the mind. However the other things don't really disappear down the alley...they just hide somewhere and when there is some free space in our RAM, they pop out of the hiding place and show their face (should I say, their ugly face? hmmm....) to us :-)

So, how do I cope with it?? Just like anyone else....by instinct....I am not that organized, contradicting the popular belief many have about me :-) Sooner or later I have to find a way to take this level of awesomeness to the next level :-) 

Devastating!

I was transfixed while watching the Japan earthquake-Tsunami videos on the TV and YouTube continuously. My God!! What a devastation!!!!!

There are more bigger, important, serious things in life than loosing a watch or a handkerchief. When I heard for the first time that after an 8.9 magnitude earthquake, tsunami waves swept across the northern Japan coast, I thought I could imagine what that was like. But oh God, the videos were shocking. So many heavy containers...houses...ships....cars....people....all washed away!!!

Take a look at the satellite images before and after the incident! Move the blue slider to the left/right.

Who are we to think we have so much control on nature?? Some day....we might also need the same safety and security that we have engineered into our infrastructure!!

Knotted

Have you ever felt you were not anywhere at all? Thats a weird and distinct feeling I've had for some time now. I'm sure none of you (if ever anyone still reads this blog!) would understand what I am talking about. But that's OK.

Right now everything is in flux and I don't seem to fit anywhere. It feels as if my life is a puzzle and the pieces keep shifting time and again even though I haven't moved an inch. How nice it would be if I could just press the pause button, get out of it for a while, take a break from all the drama and just hang out on a cloud in a hammock!! :-)

Well, the only thing I can do is to laugh about all the bad stuff, acknowledge the tough/hard stuff and just enjoy the good stuff :-)

Another brainless blog post :-)

Ten minutes ago, someone around me said: "I don't give a damn!"

So, does that mean that the person "has/possesses" a lot of damn to "give" away otherwise?? :-) :-P
So, in this case, is the person considered better off when he/she gives a damn or doesn't give a damn?? ;-)

Anyway, who cares? I don't give a damn about it! ;-) :-P

The thought of the day...

• A person with many colors need not be a chameleon...could even be a rainbow!

Does it really matter?

Slow and steady wins the race.
To begin with....rat is neither slow nor steady. Which means....
No one wins the rat-race.
Even if someone wins...he/she will always be a rat!!!

Duh :-/

The Leshan Giant Buddha

My secret wish has always been to visit as many new places as possible. I came across this on Wikipedia and was amazed by the information.

Image courtesy : Wikipedia, Google

The picture above is The Leshan Giant Buddha, carved out of a cliff in the city of Leshan, China. It seems that this is the largest carved statue of Buddha. I would like to visit here sometime :-)

Just for fun

Here are some funny answers written by children across the world in their examinations. Found this somewhere on the internet today and thought of sharing it here. Have a look and laugh :-)

Now....that's a naughty duck :-)

Ah....there they are!! :-P

 Looks like he knows the human anatomy very well indeed :-P ;-)

I'm sure this kid would have passed if the teacher were religious ;-)

I think I can forgive this kid for this answer :-)

My tummy is paining with so much laughter :-)

This kid should have got at least one mark for getting Hitler right :-)

Yeah...it sure is a lot of fun kid!!! :-)

I'm sure Gerard Butler was mighty pleased with this :-P

A very sympathetic teacher indeed :-)

A stupid is what a stupid does

Have you ever watched this TV commercial advertising a TV by showing two TV's on your TV? I just did and I am really amazed that there are so many of them around! 

In that ad, they show a generic TV with bad picture quality/clarity and then the advertised TV with a great picture. If I am able to see the picture clearly in the second example and be amazed by it, it automatically means that my current TV is good. So, why should I buy the advertised TV?

If the TV I'm using at home is bad, then I would not be fascinated by the clarity of the second picture. So, why should I give a damn about buying the advertised TV? The new TV is only as good as the one I already own :-P 

Are the advertisers stupid? Or are the audiences stupid? Or am I stupid to have written this post?? (I'm sure many of you would agree on this if not on the other questions!) Or is it stupidity which makes the world go round!!!!??? :-P
