What would you do ..... if you knew that the world will end today

Lazing away on a wednesday afternoon (wednesday and not saturday or sunday.. will come back to that one) i came across this article.

Now some skeptics suggest that the world may end today and scientists say that it won't. And I say to myself what the heck "Cant stop it now". Probably i will wake up tomorrow relieved at being alive and bored that the drudgery continues.

However what if i was sure that the world will infact end. What do I do then. What will anybody do?

Will i call up my loved ones. ya all those goody goody matter of fact things i may do.

What about those few things that are there inside oneself. Those things that one wants to do but is held back by ego, self respect, fear. I suspect that all this will stop mattering in an ending world.

People will let their bosses know what they think about him/her (probably a slap or two) or i just tell the girl next bay that she is very beautiful (probably steal a kiss) throw crap on the next door neighbour.

Just think.... Full and complete freedom for a day.

And then think about this... The world does not actually end.... then what?

For some fun just read the discussions on this page

What do you think?

Even the busiest of us have our own lazy periods. Our moments of undeniable indulgences.

We can be as lazy as we like in some periods of time

For example:

• Waiting in a queue.
• Waiting for the water/milk to boil
• Waiting for windows to load.
• Waiting for this and that.........
  

We do it a lot of times waiting waiting and waiting.

These are times when we are helpless. Even the most resourceful and enterprising of us find that we have nuthing to do for those few moments.

Ever imagined how we pass those moments? What do we really end up thinking?

I sometimes find myself thinking of incidents whihc i wud have assumed long forgotten, i seem to start discussing with myself on some issue which probably i wont care about in the next instant.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT?

Think about it.. probably you would surprise yourself

The first song I liked

Suddenly today morning i was reminded of one my favourite songs.
Apart from the strong emotion potrayed in this song i liked the way it was potrayed. It is in the form of a question , a tough question to the world at how unfair it is and how much pain it can needlessly bestow on an individual. I think this style really multiplies the effect of the song manyfolds.

The lyrics go like this (i may blotch it up a little :) )

Koi yeh kaise bataye ki woh tanha kyun hai?
Woh jo apna tha aaj woh kisi aur ka kyun hai?
Yahi duniya hai to aisi yeh duniya kyun hai?
Aisa hota hai to aakhir aisa hota kyun hai?

Ek zara haath badha de to pakad le daaman
Uske seene mein sama jaye humari dhadkan
Itni kurbat hai to fir itna fasla kyun hai..............

The Joker

Just think about the chill you felt while watching "the Joker" laugh in a cinema hall full of people.
Didnt you feel alone, helpless mortified.

Remember there were sound effects, camera angles, dialog delivery and of course the amazing Heath Ledger to complete the effect

Just take a moment to imagine a similar chill going down your spine reading a comic (e-book) no sound effects, no camera angles no dialog delivery and no heath ledger. Just an effect created by a few pictures and printed words.

Now you are ready to read these two...

"The Man who Laughs" and "The Killing Joke".

The Joker as a character is adventured into. His unfortunate origins identified. And it is horrifying.

Unlike our contemporary Joker "who is looking for nothing logical" this Joker is "definitely looking for something". He wants to prove his point about madness and wants vendetta.
And he is damn horrifying. He kills for fun and is particularly fearsome in it. He doesnt simply use knives to delay the death. Look at those faces in the first few pages of the "Man who laughs" and yo will know. His plans are so so devillish (refer to his plan to drive Gordon crazy in "The Killing Joke"). I thought Christopher Nolan's Joker as an Angel.

If you are contemplating to read them a word of advice: Don't do what i did.. read both of them back to back in the night. I had a few nightmares. Don't tell me i did'nt warn.

I cannot imagine being locked p in a room for one month with books like this. To know more about what i am talking please research on Heath's preparation for the role.

A Drunkards guide to cooking...

We are three bachelors staying together in chennai. Somehow we have managed to collect all the required Weapons and Gunpowder to win the war for creating edible food. However very curiously we have three glasses which can be readily be described as wine glasses. Thus all water while cooking is added using these glasses. Which made us come up with an idea - How would a recipe book for a drunkard look like.

Let me give it a shot:

Rice

1. Take 3 pegs of raw rice and add it to a bowl.
2. Now add 6 patiala pegs of water to the bowl.
3. Put it on a boil.
4. Have two pegs of actual whiskey.
5. Now check the rice. If u already cannot understand anything else.. good for u
6. Just devour

Dall

1. Add two dhakkan pegs of oil and one dhakkan peg of jeera to pressure cooker.
2. Take 2 large peg of dal.
3. Add 4 patiala pegs of water.
4. now add half dhakkan pegs of the following: salt, chilli and dhania.
5. Less than half dhakkan peg of trmeric.
6. Close the pressure cooker.
7. Keep an ear for two whistling sounds even if you are intoxicated
8. close the gas, open the cooker.
9. Devour

Life is so simple

The Odd Couple but perfectly even comedy

This is about the play "The Odd Couple". The play was enacted by "EVAM".

This was my first ever play (discounting all those plays you watched in college and some play i supposedly saw when i was 6). I think this was the perfect beginning. The acting was terrific diction was clear and of course it was an awesome comedy. I really liked it.

There were two things that struck me in the play

1.
As soon as i started watching it i realised that i have seen the whole thing in DD2 "directors cut".

Poor souls whose parents were too strict (No cable connection) will realize what i am talking about.

Thus it was disappointing that the play was not original.

2.
However the interesting thing was that there was absolutely no intention whatsoever to hide the fact that the play is taken from some classic. There was no "Indianization" Dollars didn't become rupees and New Jersey didn't become New Delhi.

This was comforting and very very dignified.

There was an ending ceremony where they talked about profitability and the ways they want to keep the adience informed of upcoming plays. For an MBA like me it was like wow.

Kudos to evam. Keep entertaining guys.

The Dark Knight or the White Villian......................literally

Ha Huh Huh ha ha ..................... I thought my Jokes were bad...........

His Lines will echo throughout the history.

Probably the Joker has made sense of this nonsense world.

As he says:
"I am not a monster. I am just ahead of the curve"

Anyways I don't feel like going deeper into this (Lot has already been said and i cant add anymore though whatever has been said will probably never add up to enough).

My applause to the Late Heath Ledger.

What should not matter

Just returned from a trip to Australia. A trip down under changes the Indian Cricket team everytime. I went there with same hopes.

I must admit it I was skeptical at first then disappointed. And then i thought what the heck. These guys are lazy. They never work for more than 8 hours a day, five days a week. Why are we behind. They are not driven.

But then i realized why and why we may never be like them.

Because for them Individuals matter. YOU are important and they are convinced that for their colleagues they are important.
And when this happens job becomes a part of the big picture called life. Let me make it clearer. For us there is a big picture called JOB and life is a small part of it.

More than growth we need is more relaxed tension free work places.
We just need people to act responsibly and find value in their work. Let nobody be asked to prove himself. Let there not be a rat race but just a commitment to honest work.



The way we work we start having crap in our jobs like "internal politics". We start worrying about the "important people" in organization, keeping juniors in control, impressing rather than delivering, fighting for credit for our work etc.

All this goes on and we find that we are no longer being honest to our work. We no longer are doing it because it is good business. We forget that we should do it because it is the right thing to do.

But we do it because we want a nice appraisal or we will be blasted by or bosses if we don't do it.

It thus gets lost somewhere.. the basic essence of why we should do what we do.

An after effect: When things get relaxed we drop our commitment to work deep down in some well. This is the time that matters this is when we as a nation can make a few extra laps to catch up. But we are already too emotionally drained.
