Next book on Time Management?

"Wow you have written a book on meditation!" Mrs. 'L' said elatedly.
"Previous year my two books on Vastushastra were published." I told her.
"When did you get the time to write? Mrs. 'G' asked who was standing beside us.
Mrs. 'L' said light heartedly, "Her next book will be on Time Management!" 

Double cheating = Prize won!

In a function, the anchor asked all the members who were present in the hall to stand up. He asked those to sit down who were wearing leather shoes with buckles. Some guys sat down. He asked all the ladies wearing saree to sit down. Only one middle aged woman sat down. Next he said those who were holding a hand bag to raise their hands. I was in the group and holding a small red pouch in my hand. I was feeling sad that now I have to sit down. But he gave a twist in the game and asked to remain standing. I felt relieved that I was safe. He said that those who were wearing green color top to sit down. My top was mostly yellow in color but has a few wide stripes of green in it. He asked them to sit down. I remained standing as the main colour of my dress was yellow. I was happy as I was still standing. I would definitely get the prize. He gave one more twist to the game and asked that the persons who are sitting won a mug as a prize and those who are standing who nothing. Without wasting a second I sat down as I have green color WIDE stripes in my dress.

"Two negatives make a positive!." I thought. "And double cheating can make you win a mug as prize."

Launch of a smart phone

CEO of the 'X' company was on the stage to launch the new model of a smart phone. He hold the two phones from back side in both of his hands. Down the stage were the media persons who were clicking the photos and making videos of the new launch for good coverage. On the seats were sitting bloggers who were going to write about their experiences in this function and why they are interested in buying this mobile. The hall was big and full of people.

The lights were flashing on the stage for more photos and for better results in videos. One of a media person who was standing below the stage asked CEO to switch on the smart phone and show them. CEO clicked the button but it didn't start. He tried it four-five times but alas the result was the same. He handed over one phone to the person standing near by and again clicked the button twice or thrice. But the mobile was not in a mood to show its lights and colors.
"Atleast you should have learned it properly to switch on this new model before coming here." Someone screamed so loud that it was audible to all present in the hall.

Dear readers, this is my 650th post! :)

Wooden bird house for sale

I designed and painted this wooden house for small birds like Indian Robin, bulbul, house sparrow and humming birds. It is far far better than the metallic ones as in summer metallic ones absorb heat and can cause harm to the eggs and babies. The babies may die because of high inside temperature. Where as the wooden bird house protect them from the scorching heat and helps in maintaining the optimum temperature inside the bird house. The muddy look attract birds more.

Don't imprison them in cages but give them a house. Give them home and not prison! As the number of trees are less so where they will make nests? You can give them a small space in your balcony and garden where they can lay eggs and rear their babies till they fly. The chirping of the birds will make your morning more pleasing.

To attract more birds you can place water bowl, food grains and some other eatables in another bowl.
They will soon make a nest as it is nesting period for most of the birds.

(For purchasing this bird house please write an email to chandrikashubham@gmail.com)   

Creative Pottery!

In my balcony garden some pots need to be replaced so I decided to bring some new ones. I went to that market place where there were some good pottery shops. I was amazed to see the variety of designs they had! White fat hen and brown duck were new designs which I saw for the first time. Snail, frog, conch and tortoise were available in different colors. The rectangular and circular shaped pots were of different sizes, shapes and colors.

I liked these pottery animals and bought them. I put the plastic pots containing beautiful plants in them which fit in perfectly. Still a thought is pondering my mind which animals are these?

Ice cream only!

I took my plate and reviewed the tempting dishes displayed in a buffet. Alas! I was invited in a party on the day when I had fast. I could not even taste the yummy recipes and had to survive only on fruits, milk products and sweet besan products. I didn't take salty food on the fasting days. In party, there were no fruit platter. In sweets there were gulabjamuns and kheer. Both I couldn't take because they contained maida (refined wheat flour) and rice. The only option left with me was ice cream. But there was only ice in the huge bowl and no ice cream.
"Please bring the ice cream." I asked the waiter.
"It is coming in a few minutes." He replied.
I waited patiently. And there was no other option except to wait. The waiter put the bowl of ice cream. There was no ice cream scoop for serving rather a large spoon, may be to decrease ice cream consumption.  I took the serving spoon and fill it with ice cream from the bowl. The ice cream was so sticky that it didn't come out of the serving spoon even after applying little force three four times on the spoon. I applied more force and finally some of it drop on my plate. Wow! I got some! I was delighted like a child. I repeated this not so interesting phenomenon six times. I found a seat for myself and enjoyed the ice cream.
My belly was not filled. I decided to take more. I took my plate and went near the ice cream counter. A middle aged man was trying to get some ice cream out of it but he didn't. He wiped the ice cream from serving spoon with his finger. Oh God! If he was a non vegetarian and had eaten meat with his hands and didn't washed it. What should I do? 
I took the serving spoon filled it with ice cream and emptied it again on one side of bowl. Now I could use it for serving ice cream as I had cleaned it with ice cream. For the first time, I used ice cream as a utensil cleaner agent! I took some more ice cream by applying some little force again and again on the spoon till ice cream dropped on my plate. When I turned around to go to my seat eleven persons were eagerly waiting to hold that spoon from which ice cream did not come out without applying trick!     

Scary earthquake

"Yesterday, I was coloring a clown. Suddenly my table started shaking. I bent down but there was nobody. It was very scary. My granny told me earthquake was coming. We all have to take stairs and go down." Baby 'G' told the kid 'V'.
"So, you came out of the building?" He asked.
"Ya, What you were doing at that time?"
"I was in the toilet."
"Then what did you do?"
"What one does in the toilet?"
"I mean whether you took stairs and came out of the tower or remained in the toilet?"
"I was in the dilemma as what to do? Before I decided tremors ended."
