Humor that makes you think

/ Guttu / 3 Comments

Thinking Humor

I laugh. You laugh. We laugh. And probably everybody laughs. This is because most of us love to laugh. We like to enjoy. We love happiness. Add to this all good things(and may be bad things) that put a smile on your face. Just ask one question to yourself. Do you think over the humor? This is tricky question and may sound foolish. Give a try and ask this question. Very few will return with “Yes”.

There is humor which makes you think. I like that type of humor. The one which makes you laugh for some seconds and then makes you think for minutes. The best example of such humor is the cartoon that comes in everyday newspaper. There is always some thought behind that cartoon and it makes you think for a while apart from making you laugh.

Problems with blogging

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

It’s been long since I have written anything about blogging. Did I write?? So this post breaks the silence. For the past few days I am having troubles with my blog. They are getting bigger and bigger. I am sharing them here so that I may get some help and some solutions if any. The list is small but the problems are big.

The first one is database error. This is really frustrating. Everyday I try to find more and more ways to attract real users, I succeed and then these errors. I have informed the admin. Let’s see when this get resolved. If this doesn’t get resolved in two days, I’ll be moving to another host for sure. My hobby of blogging is now my passion which is hard to hurt. Continue reading →

To be late or not to be

/ Guttu / Leave a comment

Time is the most precious thing in today’s world. This time gets more important to those who work and are professionals. Time is a question of life and death when someone is about to die. Someone is dying and ambulance is taking time to come. Time is important for those who don’t have time. That is what I think about time. But the question for today is whether it’s good to be late or not?

Getting late is a part of life. There won’t be a single person in this world who is never late for anything. There will be at least one occasion where he is late. In a country like India, getting late is very common. Very very common. Especially in the government offices. I heard of an employee who comes to work by 12 noon, gets refreshed. By the time it’s lunch time. She goes for lunch. Works for an hour and half. Then leaves office as she have limited buses to go back home. Hardly works for two hours. Most of the offices start at 10 o’clock. One hour late.

I can understand if it’s traffic problem. They are getting worse and worse. But hey… they don’t happen everyday in my city. I have been late many times during my job life. In my personal life not much. I try to be punctual. Often the transport hits me. I never got fired for getting late though. Being punctual always puts you in respected position. That also helps you to go ahead far more than other. On a job, you’ll earn some appreciation from your boss. That may in turn help in promotion. You see. Lots of benefits of being punctual and not late.

What happens when you are late? Is it always bad? Everything has it’s own flips and flops. So do this “Getting late” thing. There are these moments when a person was late and his life was saved. This has happened in many bomb blasts that are now regular. Getting late to a sale may often give you things cheaper than what they sold out a minute before. This list may not be a big list. But definitely not to be ignored.

I’ll stop here. I am getting late for something.. 😆 After all The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

A Prayer to know who hates you

/ Guttu / 1 Comment

May those who love us love us,
and those who do not love us,
may God turn their hearts,
and if He cannot turn their hearts
may He turn their ankles
that we may know them by their limping.

While living life(I hope you are living and not wasting. Though it doesn’t matter here.) you make some enemies. If not enemies at least add some to a list of those who don’t like you. They don’t love you. It may turn out that you like that person. But that person has it’s own reasons to hate you. How will you recognize him?? What is the simplest way to do this?

There is no simple way. There is tough way which will surely work. I have not experienced this. I don’t have much enemies and I don’t want to know who hates me. That is another side of the same situation. The simple way I am talking about is the prayer I quoted. That is an Irish prayer. I couldn’t stop laughing when I first came to know that there is this poem which is written in Irish.

Prayers may take a long time to fill. They work for sure. If your prayer gets filled and the enemy gets hurt then you may be the first one to arrive with the medic. So be careful. Use the prayer wisely as I have disclosed it pubic.

Till your prayer gets filled…

Think Nonsense…

Like the old bull

When cattle are crossing, if the old bull swerves, they all go swerving following the lead. So among men, if he who’s reckoned best lies not right, much more do other folk. If the ruler be unrighteous, the whole land dwells in woe.

That is exactly what is our government. The leaders are like bulls. They have powers and they go mad. They hit, they run, they kill. Under the fear of those we vote them again and bring them back to rulers. The cycle continues. Since the leaders are mad, we also go mad. We also do bullish thing and it includes bullshit. We don’t think and we don’t have anything to think for. Just follow the thing that leaders does.

No one want’s to break the cycle. Someone has to control the bull, There is no cowboy here. The species is rare. Cowboys can handle all types of bulls. Once a single bull, a single old bull, is in control then the ones surrounding it come in control without any effort. It was good to see in current US election that there is a big change. Now that cowboy should control the bulls.

Situation is getting worse in many countries. Some have started slaughtering the bulls. That is not a good choice, but you have to go through that phase once they are out of your hands. I can only hope for more cowboys to come front. Can I be one???
