Making Sense Out of Nonsense

What is sense? and What is Nonsense? Webster dictionary gives the best definitions for these two words(often used by your employer as if they have copyright for these words) so I am not giving out the definition. For me it’s what other than me like is sense and what other than me don’t like is nonsense. But these other than me probably don’t know they live in a world full of nonsense. Just to give an example.

These other than me and I live in India. A great place to live where we are surrounded by nonsense. We have so called largest democracy in the world. The other than me say that I don’t make sense. Yeah. I am very much inclined towards nonsense. But look at what these other than me do.

  • They have sports minister who find it difficult to walk
  • They have a Prime minister labeled of many degrees but cannot take his own decision and is like a puppet in someone’s hand
  • They have health minister who is admitted to medical college only to cure some disease
  • They have criminals standing for election and these other than me elect them
  • They have light in cities and metros by putting the major part of India which lives in villages into darkness
  • They have food stock piled in ports and warehouse’s left for rotting when the prices for same commodities skyrocket
  • They have…… The list will go on and by now you too think that I don’t make sense

I am not trying to prove I make sense and other than me don’t. I am just trying to figure out sense from the nonsense. Let me tell you what is nonsense for other than me.

  • An Ox giving liters of milk
  • A dumb person taking part in singing competition
  • A bald person keeping a comb in his pocket
  • A sheep behaving like a dog
  • A donkey(how can I forget this animal) taking part in horse race

Isn’t it? Those are the lines which don’t make sense to other than me. And the list before this doesn’t make sense for me. Who wins here? Of course other than me!!! Majority always wins.

Till other than me find sense in nonsense…
I’ll Think Nonsense…

Best of Top ten lists

As the year end comes these top ten lists start coming from nowhere. There are lots and lots of these starting from the first week of December. By now, you may have read many of such lists. So here is another. The difference is, this is the list of ten best top ten lists of the year. After searching for two days and reading and removing all those junk lists, I compiled the best(the best I thought).

1) Top Ten Green Architecture Projects of 2008: I am inclined towards nature. Hence I like anything which helps for rehabilitation of nature or eco-friendly projects. That is why this list tops my list. The projects mentioned here are awesome and eye-candy. It is good to see construction going eco-friendly.

2) Top Ten Most viewed photo galleries on National Geographic: Nat-Geo website has been always a mine of good photos. It keeps producing some jewels every year. Here is the list of most viewed galleries on Nat-Geo. Every gallery is filled with stunning pictures.

3) The Ten Best New Gadgets 2008: Technology always improves in an exponential way. That curve never gets a fall and new and improved gadgets come every year. This is the list of Ten best new gadgets that arrived in the market this year. You’ll definitely wish to own at least one of them.

4) The Top 10 Everything of 2008: While writing this post I found that there are already some lists which are lists of top ten list. That made things a bit easy for me. This is the times list of almost everything in top ten for 2008. They say it everything but I still have nine other list not mentioned in that list. ^_^

5) Top Ten list by Computerworld: This is the second top ten list I found worth mentioning. It mostly consist of tech related list but also includes list which are not related to technology. How about Top Ten worst employees of 2008?

6) Top Ten movies of 2008: This not just simple list of Top Ten movies. It lists Top Ten movies of 2008 from the movies ratings sites like Metacritic. I found this list as the best in all the Top Ten movies lists. I was more happy to see that I watched almost all the movies in those lists.

7) Top ten sports moments: How can I miss the sports? I love to watch sport and play some. It just brings out the wild side of me. Here are the Top Ten moments from the sports world for the year 2008.

8) YouTube’s Best Of 2008: What Nat-Geo is for Pictures, YouTube is for videos. From the millions of videos uploaded to this site here are the Top Ten videos of the year 2008. If you had a bad year 2008 and no time for laughs, this list will try to make up for that loss.

9) Top 10 New Organisms of 2008: We have not yet discovered the whole world. There are some places which are just on the maps and never been explored. Such places always result in new organisms. This list gives the best finds or organisms in this year. It’s not a fairytale.

10) Top Ten Top Ten Top Tens! of 2008: This is not actually top ten of 2008. This is a list of top ten posts posted on that blog. So it’s kind of personal. But I gave it a mention because every post made me burst out in laughter. That is why it gets this place and this list deserves it.

So that’s all for my two days of searching all over the internet for the best lists. You may think that some lists don’t deserve this place but I do. I tried to be honest and find the best. Cheers to the year 2008 for all the good things it gave and to the lessons we learned from the bad things.

Bye Bye 2008 and Welcome 2009…

Till the next Top ten list…
