From Ajit now to Rajnikant .....

* There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Rajnikant has allowed to live. * When Rajnikant does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up; he's pushing the Earth down. * Rajnikant is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head. * Rajnikant's hand is the only hand that can beat a Royal Flush. * Rajnikant doesn't wear a watch; HE decides what time it is. * There are no races, only countries of people Rajnikant has beaten to different shades of black and blue. * Rajnikant's house has no doors, only walls that he walks through. * Rajnikant can divide by zero. * Newton ’s Third Law is wrong: Although it states that for each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, there is no force equal in reaction to a Rajnikant turnaround kick. * Rajnikant grinds his coffee with his teeth and boils the water with his own rage. * Archeologists unearthed an old English dictionary dating back to the year 1234. It defined "victi

I was all over the world

I couldn't believe it when I got a news from a Mrs Jaya Sengupta who spotted me on the news on Dec 22nd 2008. Soon, it was all over the globe. News, messages started pouring. Being modest I am, it took almost a quarter to put this great story on my blog. In case you didn't catch it you'll be pleased to know I recorded it. You can view it right here by clicking " Announcing the World's Greatest Business Mind " . Brilliant, Innovative business idea.

Basal Energy Expenditure For Male: BMR = 66+13.8(W) +5(H)-6.8(A) For Female: BMR = 655+9.6(W) +1.8(H)-4.7(A) W = Weight in Kg , H = Height in Cms , A = Age in years How did this formula come? I have no idea. My BEE is 1,631. This is the amount of energy required I need every day to maintain my body’s normal metabolic activity, i.e. respiration, maintenance of body temperature etc. Anything more, it will store as Fat. My BMI is 28.5 and I am ‘overweight’. So obviously either I am overeating or lacking in exercise. My ‘plantar fasciitis ’ made me skip gym for almost six months. My Australian support sole has considerably reduced my Plantar fasciitis (tearing of the ligament on the bottom of the foot) and I hope my "Plantar" (bottom of the foot) and "fascia" (ligament) doesn ’t aggravate my " Itis " (inflammation). Last time, my cycling halted the progress. I still have uneasy feeling and tend to hobble when I get up from bed every morning. Amazing, how a

Lower and Upper Pierce Reservoir: water droplet soaked greenery

Singapore temperature does not change as dramatically as Cape Town, in fact it does not change at all. However, it does take a turn from being Sunny to cloudy in no time. There is no fixed time for a rain spell, but when it comes, it comes in heavy doses over a relatively short time and provides an opportunity for a perfect outing. This Sunday, our initial choice was to shield from harsh rays of the sun. However, as we saw swelling of rain clouds by noontime, we changed our plan to go outdoors. We hit towards a place that we had seen earlier while driving past the Yishun MRT . The entrance to the park is behind a main road and so is not easy to locate. This place is called “Bottle Tree Park”. We saw families and kids catching fish and prawns. We were hoping to ride paddle boats but seeing them tied, we decided to take a detour around and headed towards Upper Thomson road to see lakes of Singapore. We did reach at Lower Pierce reservoir but only after combination of efforts and luck.

Adieu Kamal Maushi

Today is Ram Navmi. While going to Ram temple, I mentioned about the possibility of being named after Lord Rama if born on this day. The thought of those who pass away on this day did not occur. I considered you a fortunate to get prompt medical attention and cure on this auspicious day. New England journal of medicine states that out of nearly 2 million and odd Angioplasty procedures carried out in the world, only 0.5% face mortality. I wonder why you have to in that small fraction. During the prime of your youth, you dodged a certain death several times despite being riddled with shortage of resources and lack of proximal medical care. And now when you had an access to both, you let the death clasp you so quickly. If I were to ask this question now, your most predictable response reverberates in my mind " kai karnar ? Nashib Aaple! - What can one do? It’s our luck". I have so many memories that span from my early childhood images till the last week's telephone interacti
