Mingle and Jingle

Eh.. this was my cousins Bachelors party!!!! In a bachelors party, we had the woman folk to wish success to the couple. Not to mention, drinks and lots of meet accompanied the TO-BE wedded.

The party place at ACCORD METROPOLITAN had chairs around the dance floor. This pretty lady kept her shopping bag and a friend's hand-bag on the 3rd chair. Here goes the fun, my cousin Sriram accompanied by his sister and wife occupied starting from the 3rd chair, moving the bag to adjacent chairs. The bags found themselves on the 6th chair. My wife and I sat next to occupants of the 5th chair thus displacing the bag to the 8th chair. Another stranger comes in and moves the bag to the 9th chair.

Note these incidents happened in less than 10 minutes. A simple non-displacement of the bag from its original position would not lead to confusion and the owner questioning the final position of the bag... Interesting isn't it

A dog says 'hello' and waits

Today's morning walk made me see a dog at a  distance. He was trying to cross the road and then suddenly stopped. I continued my walk past the dog. This guy looked left, right waited for me to pass him and then crossed the road.

We humans, supposedly superior of all living organisms; do we have this dog's intellect in observing traffic rules ?

Tea Stall

A walk on Nungambakkam high Road has plenty of Tea Stalls where you smoke 'pot' (:-, linger around with friends, work mates and the passers-by.

Smokers protocol is to stop by at one of these stalls, smoke, eat bonda's and coffee. Our first time at a stall we hand a Rs 100 bill for purchase of  bonda and coffee worth Rs10. The Tea-staller says "No Change". Alright, we now came in every day making an "exact change" purchase.

The 4th day comes in;we produce a Rs. 100 for a Rs 8 purchase early in the morning. The Tea guy says "Here is the change"

What do we get from this? Knowing your customer helps you get in more business

Collaboration in the morning

Its amazing  how 'Collaboration' term is defined. But simply sharing of anything would define the term.

This morning captured 2 events for me that occurred during my morning leisure.

Here say:

Incident 1: We received around 25 "Manga's" from my aunts place. My 90
year old Grand mother called on our helper to distribute the manga's
around the neighborhood. A big smile came on my face........... "an
act of collaboration"

Incident 2: I was reading my new's paper, when we noticed a 'murder'
of crows flying around; on the road and every where. Too many crows at
the same time talks of a dead rat, a running mouse, a baby crow ...and
so on. After a few minutes of pulling my hair apart and a family
discussion, we realized this group was flying around looking for twigs/
branches to build a nest ......"another act of collaboration"


Interesting isn't it?
