OBSERVATIONS AND MY FASCINATION WITH NUMBERS

OBSERVATIONS:

WHERE: The Erode Bus Stand
WHAT: A sign board saying "Water samples tested here. Prices nominal"
WHY: It stands above the urinal.....

WHERE: My home
WHAT: A sticker saying "O.K. Tested"
WHY: Its on the faucet.....

WHERE: An Obscure college in Coimbatore
WHAT: A sign saying "no litter zone."
WHY: By now You can guess....

WHERE: A bus in Nammakal.

WHAT
AND
WHY: Sign Saying "Men's Seat".....


AND MY FASCINATION WITH NUMBERS:

Numbers are great.. They are very helpful and I am very much fascinated with the role they play in this world... Here are two examples.......

HOW THEY HELP YOU SLEEP:

The place is a class room. The whole class is quiet and the lesson is about Napoleon Bonaparte.
It is so interesting that the tension of the class is palpable. The way he comes back from ELBA is a study in inspiration. And Now...

The Teacher: " In 1687 July the 19th Napoleon attacked Russia*. He had an army of 6573* cavalry men, 78622* infantry, 34444* lance men, 45636* archers.... " The voice trailed off...
LOUD SNORING.....

Also try visualizing the numbers from
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13.....70 in your mind. Confirmed cure for insomnia.....

HOW THEY HELP YOU WAKE UP:

I am a rich guy. Very rich. In fact there are few richer. But there are few. I fell in love with a girl. She too loved me I guess. After her own way. Anyway I asked to marry her and she said yes.
On our wedding night we got talking and I asked her, "I love you yes. But I never got to know what you really like, you know, like what allures you...."

She started seriously "I am fascinated by numbers..........."

I looked into her face and saw heaven there. A soul-mate at last....

"......... I am in love with zeros...."

Ah, How beautiful!!! I sighed...

"...... Especially the ones that follow 1 in MILLION, BILLION, TRILLION...."


'*' indicates that the numbers are definitely wrong and any resemblance is pure co-incidence.


THATS ALL FOLKS AND CYA LATER...

BE HAPPY

After going on a blog reading frenzy last night, I have come to a conclusion about my own exalted self. I am uniquely gifted, not in writing skills ( As I said I did read quite a few simply superb blogs) but in that sublime rarity called selection and maturity.
I can pat myself on the back. I found that I use my blog as an unadulterated source of happiness presumably to others but more importantly to myself. I do not use it as a siphon to pour my frustrations and complaints and worries... There are other ways to get rid of those things like MOTHER, CLOSE FRIEND, etc.... :)
Now one might argue that what I am writing now gives no happiness, BUT IT DOES. To me it has proved a case in point that I am gifted.
As some say Q.E.D...
And once again I sign off with a BE HAPPY GUYS.....

Writing is so much fun. Like mercy it is blessed twice.(merchant of venice). The writer because he gets so much fun and the reader because he gets so much fun. It can also be viewed as the writer giving joy to the reader through a good piece and the reader to the writer through his enjoyment of the piece. All this blabbering must have some point right?? Well its a message or rather a plea to all those who can communicate...
Please Write.
I will promise you something..
If YOU write I will definitely read your piece...
Good writers are becoming a rarity and I cant stand to see my breed go extint..... ;).
