Daud

"Yaar tu naa roz daud lagaane jaayaa kar, sehat ban jayegee isse", said he.
"Theek hai, dekhtey hai, ghar jaaoongaa to appetite waise hee sudhar jahyegaa", I replied.
"Daud lagaa lenaa"
"Kahaan lagaaoon, jagah nahee hai ghar ke paas daud lagaaney ke liye, park ya kuchchh bhee, chalney kee aadat hai, lekin daud nahee lagaa saktaa"
"Arey Bambai mein to waise hee sab log jaldi mein hotey hai"
"Bambai mein log bhagtey bohot hai, legin daud nahee lagaa saktey"

My Invented Proverbs - Part III

• People fear confrontation, not because it requires courage, but because it could give them answers to their problems and then, there would be nothing to rant about
• Of all things "Made in China", I like their "Proverbs" the most
• Never judge a decision by its results
• Be context sensitive in making judgments, but your commitment to "context sensitive"-ness should be context free.
• One of the biggest truth of life is Peer Pressure. Check yours to see if it is positive or negative.
• Blind Faith is better than False Rationality. It is obvious better to believe in something with a reason than believe blindly. But it is better to believe in something blindly than believe something with a reason that is downright false or concocted to rationalize the belief.
• There is one thing common between Cute Kids and Dirty Politics -- Redundant Adjective
• GOD's purpose with creating religion would be complete the day, footwear stops getting stolen from outside places of worship
• The biggest damage done to public images of historical figures is by their over zealous followers
• True sense of justice lies not only in ability to chose between right and wrong, but also in realizing that in some situations, such a choice need not or should not be exercised
  

Murphy's Laws

• Murphy's Law : If something can go wrong, it will.
• Murphy's Second Law : If something can't go wrong, it still will.
• Corollary to Murphy's Law : If something can go wrong in multiple possible ways, it will go wrong in the worst possible way.
• Silverman's Law : If Murphy's Law can go wrong, it will.

Election Time

Election time in my university. Lucky that the elections are at a Hostel level alone (max stake of 400 people), else it could be nastier.

Had read somewhere before that, there is no such thing as a rational buyer, so goes the case with election candidates trying to sell themselves to the constituency, their cant be rational voters, just issues touching the emotional strings of the voters.

In an election scenario, accusing someone of Nepotism is like buying a lottery ticket, losing money and crying "It ain't fair, I do not deserve it".

For I always thought that Politics is nothing different from Nepotism, albeit legalized and at a much grander scale.
