World's Busiest Person

I recently got to know the world’s busiest person. He is a philosopher!! Ponder over this, the man’s job is to think!! So he is busy right now!!! As I write this down, and I don’t even have to bother to know what he is doing, I can always say, “Ya, that dude, he’s busy right now!!” Science has confirmed that the human brain is active at all times, so if we’re not performing any activity, the brain is still active with thinking, even while we’re asleep

So my philosopher friend, (more power to him) is by far the busiest brain I have ever come across, I used to think my boss was busy, because he always was thinking about his job, but that’s a forced kind of busy, whereas the philosopher dude cannot stop being busy!! What a predicament for the man!! And may I also mention what a diametrically opposite individual than me, I am barely able to think of my work even while I am at work.

Now look at the bright side for the man!!

He gets a call that he doesn’t want to take all he has to do is say “Hey, I am sorry, but I am busy”. Annoying person at the other end of the line, “Busy? Dude it’s 7.30 pm on a Sunday night, what are you busy doing?”

Philosopher dude, “Thinking!!” End of conversation!!

I wish I had that right too!!! Then I could go all Jack Nicholson on people. I could always be actively working on developing a new theory or a new law or a new index.

As a matter of fact I’ve got one that I am working on already!! And a whole lot of thought has already gone into this. I am open to suggestions to name it, but this law will identify “The amount of water that has to flow through your shower and into the drain before the guilt of wasting water overtakes the guilt of thinking about your French teacher in the shower”

P.s. Note that I have used words like "predicament" and "diametrically opposite" with the hope that they are used correctly and they make me sound cool enough to make theories.

Alternate energy source!!

What if someone thought of a way to harness all the gas that is released through farts? Wouldn't that be a wonderful source of "alternative" energy?

I thought of this when 3 engineers were sitting in front of me after a heavy meal and discussing E= mc2 and my lowly accounting degree and the urgent need to pass gas brought forth only this brainwave of creating something that the engineers chew on for some time.

Please spend a minute here to bring yourself up to date on some gaseous knowledge

helter skelter

It's been a crazy month, almost unexpectedly Moscow, Amsterdam, Cairo, Berlin, and then Seattle!! I don't think i've travelled as much in a space of 30 days ever before!!

Here's something for the fans of them boys... .This picture of Zoo station!!!! Berlin

A couple of recommendations. This movie is looking very promising, I hope it lives up to my expectations - Across the Universe

A classic revisited. I danced to this song a lot at a wedding recently, and I think I am hooked!!!! Here comes the rain again

I am tone deaf, I usually can't make out artists as long as they are famous and I like their music. Recently I heard a band called Imogen Heap
and I thought the singer sounded a lot like the lady who sang for Frou Frou
Then I did some research and realized they're actually the same. I am really impressed with my skills to spot the same voice!!!! Oh ya listen to the music!! Frou Frou and Imogen Heap are both good listening.

Comment Poster;-) the hiatus was a bit forced, the work computer I usually travel with does not let me get onto blogger for some god damned reason, and I am too technologically inept to be able to fix it. Here's one track i steer to after reading your blog!!- aptly titled Ruby

And last but not least, anyone who hits up on this blog must must must read the Indian Poopster from BK's Blog

OK enough hyperlinks!!!
