New Year Greetings

This year I received New Year Greetings from my friends and relatives via electronic media. I would say that I was lucky to received one greeting card. It was yellow colored paper on which wishes were printed in red ink. That was from an 84 years old man in our locality.

The card was misprinted as
From
P. K. Singal
where as his name is R.K. Singal.

With the red pen a slant line was marked to convert ‘P’ into ‘R’ on 250 cards for all residents. Hats off to such enthu.

This year, did you receive any greeting card or just electronic messages?

Justification to smoking

“We, all poor labours do the hard work all the day. We don’t have TV or radio to entertain ourselves. It is only the bidi which we smoke to relieve our tensions and frustrations.” A labour replied to a health worker who was convincing him to stop smoking.

Do you think smoking is justified with these reasons or smoking can’t be justified at all?

Tossing a coin

In the car, she reached T point of the road, took out a coin from her pocket and tossed it. Holding it between her palms she blew. She removed her hand to see the result. Oh! No! What a disappointment on her face!

Can you suggest her whether she should take Left or Right?

Inactive snake

“Snake! Snake!! SNAKE!!!” All labours shouted in chorus.
“Where?” I enquired.
“There.” They pointed towards a brownish snake with beautiful patterns on it which was lying inactive due to cold weather.
“As I removed this rock, I found it.” A young guy explained to me.
“It won’t say anything. It is inactive because of winter season. Keep doing the work and just a little away from it.”
“We have to dig the land there, it is must.” Another elderly labour said.
“We will not work there if snake it there. We are afraid of it.” All of them spoke.
"They all are scared of this little creature, I must do something." I thought.

I took a solid wooden stick, placed its one end below the body of snake and firmly grasped the other end. Making maximum use of my scientific knowledge of lever, I with full force lifted the snake. And OMG! The snake flew above all of us and hung on a branch of a near by tree. May be I used too much of force. Sigh!

It was still dormant.

Now, what to do?

My biggest opponent

My biggest opponent is ME as I have to perform better than myself. So in 2010 whatever I have written I want to write better than that in 2011.

HAPPY 2011!

Depression Vs Creativity

I am writing daily posts from past two months.

Do you think that it is a way to escape depression, tensions and frustrations of life or it is creative flow of emotions?

Word verification

While posting a comment on a blog I have to go through word verification for three times as the word that appears on screen was not clearly written and was jumbled too much that I can’t interpret it correctly.

Do you think word verification before posting a comment is mere wastage of time or protection from spam?
