How?
How do you breathe
when you knocked the wind out of someone
How do you walk forward
when the road you left behind disappears
How do you sleep
when you filled another life with nightmares
How do you smile
when you trampled dreams dreamt together
How do you see the future
when the mirror of the past has been shattered to pieces
How do you go on living
when death seems to open the gates to peace
How do you not cry
when the raindrops are tracing their path on the window
Specialization is for Insects
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
-Robert A. Heinlein

Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.
Car mechanics tell you the truth.. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt.
Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time.
Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.
Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.
You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache.
You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.
No wonder men are happier.

Another Turn
Left IIM Lucknow about 3 months ago... Still wondering how to describe it.
Would be starting work with TAS on 10th June.
Hmmm.........
Oh Those Darn Kids
I have somehow, absolutely unwillingly, have become a fan of the new HT newpaper "MINT".
Its a good business paper, and oh god...finally...a newspaper which is sometimes witty. Be it talking about a fight between National Flag and National Anthem or about the brash kids abounding our country.
Show me a person who has never felt like strangling a kid when they are screeching non stop while throwing half the contents of the dining table on the floor and Ill show you a liar. What is it with parents who just cannot control their little bundles of pain ! I pray to lord, if i am ever a parent...give me the strength to handle my kids. But till then, I hate em all...Specially when I have to spend my last week at home doing their stupid holiday homeworks at the pretexts of them being too dumb and their parents being too busy!!

this awesome writeup by Vir Sanghvi about kids who make our lives hell here. How many of you have been there done that?
Found
on some other blog...brilliant...so had to copy...
"The Most unfair thing about life is the way it ends.
I mean, life is tough.
It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating......
and you finish off as an orgasm.”
Why?
When im pissed, i frown and stop talking.
When im angry, i shout.
When im really mad, i cry...more like bawl !
WHY?
