Have you ever seen any chicken or mutton being happy when their fellow chicken or mutton is getting ready to be slaughtered. But humans are different. My best friend V has finally decided to get married and I m so happy about it. Only humans can do that. He is the last one of us to get married. I m sure he can now corelate to some of our pain points. 
Congratulation & best of luck, V! Welcome to the club!
You all know i believe in aliens… That is why my blog’s name is also alien world. My apartment is a multi-storey complex. I live on 8th floor.
One night, After a busy day in office, I returned home. I was still waiting on the ground floor for the lift to open, when I heard someone coming down soft but swiftly from the stairs. And then the door of the lift opened. I got in, and realized someone entering behind. The door closed, and I couldn’t see anyone, only to found that the creature was much smaller in height. Had four legs, white fur, big black round eyes. I gathered all my courage and asked "which floor?". Without any answer, those big eyes kept looking at me. The creature was trying harder and harder, I felt that he want to communicate using mind waves… But I was not receiving anything, my receiver was down after a whole day of work. Not getting answer to my question I pressed button for 8th floor. On the way we kept looking at each other, and after half way I asked again "which floor?". Probably by that time, that creature had lost all his hope on me. He made a strange sound "waaaau", coming deep from the depths of the stomach. That was something I did not understand. My floor was near, but it felt like it’s going to take forever to reach my floor. It was so slow that I could see my nails growing. Probably it was this alien effect. But finally the LCD in the lift indicated the 8th floor. Door opened & I carefully stepped out. Took a sigh of reliefs. Happy to be alive & still human. As I walked towards my apartment, I noticed that the four legged creature was following me. I increased my speed. When I reached near my home, I looked back only to found him still standing. I thought, he was lost, left behind by the mother ship, like E.T. So I went near, tried to look friendly and asked again “are you lost?”, and pointed him towards the stairs as I had no intentions to go back with this creature in the lift again. The creature looked at me, repeated those words again twice "waaaau" "waaaau", and then turned back towards the direction of stairs.
From the balcony, I kept looking at that four legged, furry creature with big eyes. He went to each floor in the same direction where my flat is. Looked at the flat on each floor, repeated "waaaau" and then moved on. Finally he stopped at 1st floor. I heard the creaking noise of door opening, some dim light coming out and the creature disappeared. I think "waaaau" was the command to open the spaceship gates, some secret code…
I was sitting with my friend, P, today after lunch, having a smoke and appreciating the beautiful weather. It is very rear in Hyderabad to have a sunny sky and still not hot. As with all good things in life, this was also short lived. As usual we blamed it on global warming (the most overused term these days).
Of many reasons we picked fossil fuel as one of the primary contributor in the global warming. With cigarette in hand and beautiful weather you tend to think of changing the world. So we were discussing many ‘what-if’ scenarios – alternate energy sources, nuclear cells, and many others.
P suggested teleportation should be our primary means of transportation. It will result is going away with all the current gas hungry means of transportation, and it will be fast, fast as in speed-of-light. Guess what, we can reach New York in less than a second, which otherwise takes anywhere from 15 to 20 hours. I liked the idea, but then I started thinking on means to implement it and its consequences.
You remember Star trek, don’t you? Well teleportation seemed so simple in it. But we have a bigger problem at hand. Our star trek fellows only have to teleport very few at a time, but here we are talking about it as a means of mass transport. So we may need teleportation station, like we have railway/metro station, bus stands, airports, etc.
We are all made of hydrogen and carbon, and so is everything else around. Isn’t it? So it boils down to the atoms of hydrogen and carbon that we really need to transfer from one end to another. Transferring them physically may not be a real good idea. What if we have huge containers of stored hydrogen and carbon on the receiving end and we just transfer the details about the composition of a particular person to that end, so that we are reconstructed at the other end. In order to do so, you have to be first broken down into these molecules or atoms (whatever you want to call them). It sounds so painful, right? Well its not my idea, I read it somewhere. If I come up with something, that will be less painful.
Now consider the consequences of having teleportation stations.
Imagine what really happens at teleportation station – you get inside one of thousands of machines, enter your destination. The machine analyzes your vital signs, molecular structure & composition and breaks you down in to the basic elements. Stores your converted form in its hydrogen & carbon containers, and transfer the information of your reconstruction to your destination, where you are reconstructed again. Isn’t it fun? No way… it’s scary…
But never mind, we will do it for the sake of our beautiful planet earth. But I still have some unanswered questions:
2000 people get swine flu and the whole world wants to wear surgical masks!
20 million people have AIDS and nobody want to wear a condom!!
I don’t have any doubt that Chandigarh is India’s best city, not just because it is one of the most well planned city in India, but also because of the law enforced and abiding the city dwellers. I was reading somewhere earlier that Chandigarh Traffic police has thrice got Asia’s best traffic police award. So it was not surprising when I read yesterday about taxing dog owners for having more than 2 dogs, making mandatory to clean their dog’s pooh and making laws to take care of situations when a dog bites someone. This is a common practice in west and many of the developed countries. The most surprising part was not to let dog breed. Above that the administration has also asked the residents not to buy and sell pets from each other. Read: Times of India, 11-Aug-09
All said, I think everything is fine except an extreme case of not letting dogs mate, after all they have their needs, which need to be fulfilled and it cannot be suppressed. Not allowing them to mate & breed is not the solution. Probably dog contraceptives are the new way to go… condoms for dogs; (I hope KS or Durex guys are reading this…) 
To start with I am not talking about your computer mouse… I am talking about the rat in the house… Even these guys are getting smarter… Well this is what I have concluded after a couple of drinks with a friend.
I remember as a child in our old house there used to lot of rats and we used to put mouse traps in night, with some bread to tempt them. Initial few attempts were successful, but as the time passed the success ratio came down. Rats were no longer interested in breads; they wanted something more, probably dry fruits. With the change in menu, the success ratio again came up but the success was short lived. So, I think, we changed the trap. That was a nice move, but how long can someone fool an evolving species… Later we realized that food from the trap was disappearing and we were not having our prized catch in the mornings. Rats were becoming smarter with each passing generations… They were transferring their knowledge from one generation to another pretty effectively.
Well time has passed and many new things have come since then to catch rats… In my old office building they were keeping stick pads with some cookies, but I never found a mouse stuck to it. So knowledge transfer has not stopped and so has the evolution of mouse… If they continue at this rate, the time is not far when they will be more intelligent than humans!!! That reminds me of Frankie and Benjy mouse from “The Hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy“, working on a super computer simulation!!
A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE!
There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, a catch. … You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. .
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 – These men have jobs and love the Lord.
*********
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
“Wow,” she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead good looking and help with the housework.
“Oh, mercy me!” she exclaims, “I can hardly stand it!”
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 – These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop- dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 – You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.
Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!
I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
I’ve learned that no matter how much I care,
some people are just assholes.
I’ve learned that it takes years to build up the trust,
and it takes suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
I’ve learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself to others -
they are more screwed up than you think.
I’ve learned that you can keep vomiting
long after you think you’re finished.
I’ve learned that we are responsible for what we do,
unless we are celebrities.
I’ve learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades, and there had better be a lot of money to take place of it.
I’ve learned that 99% of the time when something is not working in the house,
one of your kids did it.
I’ve learned that people you care most about in life are taken from you soon
and all the less important ones just never go away.
Pass this along to 5 friends… trust me, they’ll appreciate it.
Who knows, maybe something good will happen.
If not… tough shit!
*Forwarded to me by my friend Priyanka.
Once X asked Y, “What is the secret behind your happy married life?”
Y said, “You should share responsibilities with due love and respect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems.”
X asked, “Can you explain?”
Y said, “In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other’s decisions.”
Still not convinced, X asked Y “Give me some examples”
Y said,” Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much amount to save, when to visit home town, which Sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not etc are decided by my wife. I just agree to it”
X asked, “Then what is your role?”
Y said,” My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iran, whether Britain should lift sanction over Zimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether Sachin Tendulkar should retire etc etc. Do you know one thing, my wife NEVER objects to any of these”.
Well, It’s a stupid question but when people really do not have something constructive to do they think silly… So now that is what I’n thinking – I was wondering who in India can be compared with Paris Hilton? Or whom can we crown ‘Indian Paris Hilton’
Any guesses?
Today I was watching Kareena’s performance in the retelecast of Filmfare awards 2008… she was looking hot and sexy in that ready-to-striptease-dress, and one thing that crossed my mind was that she is the closest to Paris Hilton in India… She is sexy. She is hot. She is a brat. She has guts to dump a guy and find new one immediately.
Love her or hate her, she definietely makes headlines!
What’s your opinion?
Hi, I try to see life through different glasses at different times. This blog is my day to day experiences with people, books, mysteries, myths, and above all my way of looking at life. It need not be right or wrong... it just my way...
