“Shit! It is now five. She will reach there by five thirty.” – I was just out of the bed worrying a bit and thinking to get some convincing excuses. I got dressed up and went to wash my face and get ready soon. My mom stopped me,” Hey! Wait! Are you planning to go anywhere? I already told you, your father’s friend’s son is coming this evening and he will leave by tomorrow morning. Your father said, you should stay today. Don’t you want to spend some time with him?”
“Spend time with that dog? No way. I am going out. I am anyway going to see that damn face tonight. And I am not sharing my room with him tonight”.
“He is eager to see you. Give him some respect. He is doing his MBA and that too in a top college”.
“I also heard that it is a good college”.
“Who told you?”
“That bastard only told me. It is a useless bullshit college actually”.
It is the nature of all the parents that they think that if some family friend’s son studies somewhere he will be studying in a good college for sure. But even though we manage to get a good college they are not convinced. I spent some time to set my hair. It is one of the toughest challenges of my life. It was then five twenty. I rushed to my bike and flew away in no time before my mom talks further. When driving through the streets a voice stopped me.
“Hey! Venkat! How are you? How is life?”- An old school friend of mine.
“Fine man! You?”
” Yup, doing well. Now also you are doing well I hope as you did in the school. Give your number man.”
“Okay! Give me a missed call later”
Before he says anything I was in first gear and accelerated. I told myself, “Hmm! Murphy’s Law”. In these situations people come from hell to irritate us. But when you search for them it takes a long time to find them.
I reached the place by five forty five and she was not there as I wished. Men are happy even if they have to wait- a natural tendency. In front of the restaurant there are many shops all selling food of different types. At the corn shop a girl was great looking. I was just enjoying how she ate them one by one. Her eating speed definitely helped me to pass my time. At last she came by six five. “Hi”- A usual starter.
“How long have you been waiting?”
“For a while”
“What you have been doing outside the hotel?”
“Enjoying the beauty!”
“What beauty?”. I did not even think that I would be caught that early.
“I meant I was waiting here to see your entry. What could be more beautiful than this?” I thought she would go crazy but responded back with a dull expression and went inside the hotel. “Again flop!”
I just followed her. Women do not always like you when you allow them to lead you, but this one loves to dominate. We found some three four tables and my eyes were on a corner table which would us give some privacy under a nice dim orange light. Then I saw a pink light and she was already sitting underneath it. I did not get the nerve to ask her move from her place.
“This place looks pretty cool”- I told her.
“It will be, because I chose it”- She said with a smile as if she was the one who designed the entire place.
For ten minutes she was surfing the menu and ordered a plain sandwich. I had actually planned to eat some stomach filling stuff. To maintain my dignity I ordered a cheese burger and after a you-pig look from her I changed to ordinary burger. I have wondered many times why women are so diet conscious. They always want to maintain their figure. She is already very thin and rarely eats anything.
“This menu card has got nothing.”- She said and I felt that statement was just too much for a ten page menu card.
“Yes! Nowadays they make only what people frequently order. Hay! That day also you were wearing the same thing.” I thought women wear a thing only one in six months.
“No,This is off-white. That dress is eggshell white.”
She was wearing everything in white including shoes, ornaments, watch and even purse thinking that she was looking like an angel. She had many shoes of the same model but in different colors. She hates some dresses and calls them fat clothes. These things and other women are understood only by women.
“I see. How is college?”
“Don’t talk about that. I lost my grades in two subjects.” (Lost means she lost A and got B)
“Don’t worry. You can make it up next time”. Her face suddenly shrinked. I was afraid that whole day will become dull but fortunately they turned on the juke box. Style- shivaji
“Hey! I like this song. Do you? Tell me”,[energy meter shows error “out of range”].
“It is ok”.
“Just an ok?”
“What is there in this?”
“What more do you need?”
“I like songs that are far more complicated and well composed.”
Again energy drop. I don’t know why girls fluctuate just for silly things. I did not know what to say. Waiter then arrived to my rescue.
Just after he kept the stuff on the table I started eating. In a bite one-fourth of the stuff was over. I was looking at the bitten spot and was examining the contents. She was just staring at me and I did not know why. Then I realized I was holding sandwich in my hand. I knew I was in trouble.
“You don’t have table manners. That is why I am avoiding your dates often. See what you have done.”
“One fourth is gone and it won’t come back.”- I fumbled.
“I know that”. I had to think for a better statement.
“Be cool. You eat burger. It is the same stuff like bread. Mostly same vegetables will be used to make them.”
“No. I am not going to eat. You have eaten mine already.”
After I told sorry some ten times she started.She Just ate a little bit. I was looking like “Anyway you are going to eat? Why are you making a useless scene?” She could read me and at once stopped eating.
“Eat!”- I requested.
“I am not your dog. Don’t force me to eat”
“My dog is not like you, it will listen to me always.”
“What? You are comparing me with your dog? Why should always I listen to you? ” She tried to bring out tears but that was not just enough.
“No! Please understand”
“I understood”
“See. This is not a big thing. Instead of bread you eat burger. Simple thing. After all they are same.”
“You men all are like this. How all things can be same? Don’t you have principles in life?”
“No big deal. Bread is almost same as bun. Nothing wrong in my view. You need not be logical all the time”
“For you they are same. For you even your dog and I are no different.”
“I did not say that”
“You meant it”
“It is girls who differentiate. Girls only differentiate beige, eggshell and off-white. They only differentiate between shoes of the same model. We don’t.” – I told with a stubborn voice.
“Men don’t have values. For them everything is same. You will even change your girl friend. She will be same as me.” She was angry and volume boosted up. People sitting next to us were seeing us. Even one guy was following us so much that when I accidentally saw him his dress had already been spoiled by ketchup and yet he did not notice that and continued to observe the conversation. Those types are really irritating.
“Men do have values. But we can’t tolerate when women analyze un-necessary things. They throw tantrums. They argue for nothing. They try to be artificial all the time.”
“So, finally what is your argument?”
“I am not throwing any argument. You only are.”
“Till now you did not ask me sorry for doing that. This shows…”
“Why should I say sorry?”
“Why should I be with you? I have wasted my time being with you. Bye.”
“Wait… At least wait till I pay the bill”
“Thanks for reminding me. Here is my share.” She kept fifty bucks on the table. Then she started leaving. I kept the remaining amount there and left.
“Wait…” I was holding her hand. People were watching. I was following her.
Finally worst of all, a family friend came there. Who the hell had called him to come over there? At sixties, why does that son of a bitch want a meal in a restaurant taht is consdered as a lover’s paradise? Anyways, I did not want to be seen by him. So could not followher and so could not convince her. That date was totally spoiled.
Moral:
Guys who do not have a girl friend have to be optimistic. Wish for a nice girl always and not for a girl like this one. Always think about happiness in your life. If you let you worries rule you, you will be having a loser dream like this one just like I did.

“This shirt won’t suit you” my friend told me in a local shopping complex. “May be you can try out that pink shirt”, another friend added. “Pink? No way! I will better be without one than having a pink shirt.” “Why? That shirt looks pretty cool” “No man! It will bring down my energy”. “Don’t hate pink so much. Girls generally do like pink. What if your girl friend likes pink?” “That bitch can’t be my girl friend. Okay let’s get rid of this useless argument. I am done with the stuff here; shall we go to some other?” We all came out. One of those friends started as he had some work. I was ready on my bike to go to another shop. But the traffic was heavy that we can’t cross the road quickly. One girl got my attention. She was wearing a pink dress and was on a pink scooter. “Why do girls like this bullshit?” I asked my friend. “Man! An age old question! But I don’t know.” She stopped in front of the shop and parked her scooter. “See, every damn thing she is wearing is bloody pink, but I do like that black helmet alone” When she took the helmet off, about half the men around us had a mild heart attack; others don’t have one I suppose. Needless to say, she was an angel. She went into the shop.
I had already locked my bike again and was entering into the mall following her. “What do we have to do here?”- Friend. “O! Yes” “What?” “I mean; let me think. Okay at least we will check out some jewels. I have heard it is pretty cool here.” “But you don’t use jewels, Right?” “I don’t, but sometimes I do” “It is already late”. I was just looking at her face and was thinking about what awards she might have won. A couple of times she noticed me. I then pretended to see some jewels and saw her through the jewels. “This is plain. We can look for some stylish stuff. “This chain looks too good. I am going to buy this one” “Shit! This is a necklace man!” – He laughed.
“Let us check other things out here” “What do you what to buy?” “Let us explore this mall and then decide” Again following her we entered another division. “What are you guys doing here?” – A harsh voice of the watchman. “We are customers”. “But this place sells stuff related to females”. “I see”. Luckily she came out soon and went to fruit stall. “Man I am hungry”- I told. “That is what I was about to say. Let us go to Pizza hut. Or do you want to go to any particular restaurant? I will adjust”. “This is summer. Pizzas contain hell a lot of calories” “So what?” “Fruits are better for our health.” My friend was staring at me; that look definitely said something like ‘you idiot!’ Without a word I rushed to fruit mall. My friend asked “I want watermelon juice. What shall I order for you?” “Anything that is not pink”. She ordered “Watermelon juice please! No ice, less sugar”. It showed that girls are taking care of their health and are cautious about the calories they eat. “Watermelon is good for health- my mother tells me always. Order the same for me too”. She received the service first. Though there was crowd, I think they have quota for beautiful girls. But I was worried that she might leave after the drink. The next turn was ours. After a few seconds we got the juice I finished it and my friend was already holding the glass high and inverted with his mouth waiting for those last sweetest drops containing non-dissolved sugar. At that time she had just had a few small sips. After some more time she reached half and kept the remaining on the table. She then took a pink purse out of her handbag. She then finally took out the most shocking thing, a pink key-chain, not because it is pink but it reminded me that she will leave, she may leave from my life forever. Then I followed her for a while. She was not comfortable after noticing me this time and rushed to her scooter. When she left I ran to my bike and started it in no time. I had a difficulty in shifting gear. When she was more than a hundred meters far away I pressed the gear with a bang and accelerated as much as possible.
Immediately I felt a thrust. “O! No!” But I was safe sitting on my bed. I could sense the thrust created when bike is accelerated too much and balance is lost. The phenomenon of sensing events like falling down, colliding, etc just before we wake up thing and suddenly feeling relaxed after seconds is one thing I love pretty much. I had a chance to experience such an incident may be because of two factors. One is my desire of having a girl friend like the one I said and my hatred towards pink. This is one of the most beautiful simulations my mind ever did because I saw both what I like and what I don’t. But after this event I give respect to pink as it is so feminine. But I still keep a distance from pink as it makes me feel sleepy.No Way Can Pink Enter My Room!!

We are all born as babies into this world and become big as we grow; this is a well known fact. Similarly all the species show a distinct change in size as they grow. But there are extreme animals which can grow very much that the ratio of the adult to that of child is huge. For example dinosaur eggs were small but they had cells that grow in a fast manner and turn into a massive creature. The most extreme in this is marsupials. A kangaroo gives birth to a baby easily. It is not more than a tiny piece of flesh. But growth rate is pretty high.
Now it is time for calculations. The kangaroo has the highest ratio of size of an adult to that of a baby. Now we will try to find out what will happen when humans have the same ratio.
O! My god it shows that humans when grown at that rate will reach the size of a blue whale, the largest creature that has ever existed.

Similarly Consider jumping. Cricket has the highest ratio of the height reached in a jump to the actual body height, a few hundred times. What can a man do if he possesses that ratio? Wow! He can reach the top of Eifel tower in a jump.

Biting is really a cool thing. Some people always like to eat some hard stuff. May be they like the sound produced while breaking a brittle substance. It will be fun to eat sugarcane and pear fruit and also nuts. But some people eat even harder things and claim that they have extremely strong biting power. But when a stone gets mixed up with the food it hurts, sometimes people lose a tooth. So there must be a limit to the biting force produced by men and even animals. Men have around 170 pounds. But when a dog is tested it gave better results, around 300. But there are some creatures having biting strength beyond imagination. Let us check out the toppers in this business.
Sharks (650-680) that are some of the most feared creatures in the planet are surprisingly only fifth in this rating. Their biting force is in the order of that of big cats which is low for its size. But they do have extremely sharp teeth that can easily tear the flesh. They hence do have the reputation for kills.
The strongest of the big cats (700), the king of the beast is fourth in our count down. Lions have pairs of canine which are designed to tear flesh and leave the skeleton. The canine can grow over a few inches.
Lion is a master of ambushing. Lions are nocturnal and they hunt at nights with shear brute force. They even try elephants sometimes though the efforts are futile.
Hyenas (1000) are in a different league. They are bone crushers. Though they look like dogs they are more related to cats then dogs.
Females are most dominant and have a pseudo penis to show their domination in sex. Its morphology is unique with front legs longer than rear and the body is front loaded built for stamina. With the most powerful jaws than any other animal of its size a hyena is able to crush bones. It does not have canines but have special bone crushing teeth. Its stomach acids are so strong that they can digest bones. Hence they efficiently scavenge the leftovers of big cats sometimes they outnumber them and take the flesh and also they hunt by themselves. Nothing goes as a waste with an efficiency of 90% consumption of prey compared to 40% in the case of cats. Other bone crushers are similar to a devil.
Next contestant looks like an underdog and lacks reputation. It is an alligator snapping turtle (over 1000). When it comes to biting force it is in the range of hyenas. It has no teeth in fact. Two jaw bones are simple and strong enough to crush bones. The jaws are of locking type. They are very efficient in catching prey in water.
The top contestant has a biting power(2500) more than that of any other animal living in the planet. They are the king of waters. The crocodiles (origin 70000000 years) have lived alongside dinosaurs and are believed to be responsible for the extinction of some of the dinosaur species
as they ate their eggs. Astonishingly it has not undergone any change from its basic design during these years. The body is simple and immensely strong. They appear to be lazy but it can move very fast in land also. It’s a colossal piece of design and engineering in the animal kingdom. Crocodiles can replace their teeth. The teeth grow and move towards its front end. It is the worst animal to be bitten by.

Guys! Have a look at the master of aerial combat. It’s the Predator B, an unmanned aerial vehicle. It is one of the greatest marvels of engineering. Its most astonishing detail is that it weighs just about a thousand pounds and has a wing span of twenty meters. Any aircraft of this low weight is designed for a high ceiling. This can reach an altitude of a staggering fifty thousand feet in no time. It has a speed of just around four hundred miles an hour and yet manages to be almost invisible even to radars. But don’t think that at that height the plane also will be blind. It is equipped with latest tracking device that can zoom in any area and get pictures like a satellite. Don’t ask whether they use Google earth in that. At full load it can weigh up to more than three thousand pounds. They don’t carry goods, it is something far more serious a business. The extra mass comprises only weapons. It can hit a small target with deadly precision. Even it can trace a man running from police with radar. So, for people who are now thinking of ways to escape this beast, ALL THE BEST!

I was already late for the first hour one day when I was to reach college in a usual local metro bus. The bus was moving at an irritating 20 miles an hour speed in the national highways. People were shouting and driver was least bothered, in fact he slowed down further. I had already decided to bunk the class and requested a friend to give me a proxy. Buses generally are overcrowded in the morning. I was standing near the center of the bus surrounded by local sellers and normal public and the bus was obviously packed. A man was shouting like anything. I did not get my nerve to ask anything about it and like many others I was scolding the driver very badly without letting the words be audible to others. The bus was standing at a stop for quite a long time. A few people got down giving some space to breathe. I had a chance of having a look at another parallel road.
A cargo was heading towards the road from a perpendicular one and a car was travelling at a fairly high speed on that road. Some trees were there at the corner. Both the drivers could have had a view of each other before several seconds I think. But collision did take place. On the next day I came to know that the car driver was an amateur. And some expert analysts said that it could have been avoided.
So here comes a question. What is the difference between an accident and a narrow escape; Life and death? The obvious answers are driver quality, road nature, climate, time, and vehicle control and safety mechanics. But the most important thing is the driver. When we talk about the drivers, skill is the most important thing. But tests conducted conclude that there is no difference in tasks performed by the drivers to prevent the accident at the last moment. But they do show a crucial difference which distinguishes amateurs and experts. That is their reaction time. Normal reaction time of a man varies from 0.4seconds to 0.6. And a difference of 0.3 seconds is observed between the extreme cases, which is responsible for a large number of accidents and losses that follow.

Now we know what the vital attribute to be safe is. To improve the reaction times people were tested by simulation or virtual driving. The physical fitness and drugs consumed obviously causes changes in reaction times. But a surprising observation is made when the people were exposed to different fragrances. It was observed that some flavors improve the reaction times.
Citrus scents increase alertness by stimulating the irritant nerve in the nose. Lavender boosts relaxing alpha-wave activity. Vanilla and cinnamon scents may increase arousal. Mixed floral scents may increase learning speed. If your interviewer is a woman, choosing a floral scent may help you get it. You’ll fall asleep quicker in the presence of vanilla. Men estimate women to be 12 pounds lighter when they’re wearing a zesty floral, likened to a mix of Old Spice and Clairol Herbal Essences. Women seem to appear up to six years younger when they wear a pink grapefruit, vanilla or baby-powder scent. With vanilla and spice, this Oriental is sweet and sexy.
S
o the flavors that are believed to make you alert are those of citrus fruits and peppermint. The people exposed to these during tests made 40 -50 % less mistakes when driving than before. So next time you enter your car throw your perfume out and go for flavors that are more simulating.

On a full moon day of May more than 2500 years ago, there was born a Hindu prince in Nepal, the Gautama. In spite of a luxurious life with a wife and a son, his contemporary nature and bondless compassion soon directed his attention to the quest of meaning and purpose of human existence. All the scriptures he studied available at that time, Vedas, austerities, ascetic exercises, fasting and breathe control proved futile. Meditation enlightened him and he finally attained Nirvana, bliss and liberation of re-birth when he was in 35 after which for 45 years he worked hard teaching simple means of salvation.
His way of life
Buddha neither wanted to create a new religion nor did he want to pray him like a deity or as an image of God. He taught a simple ethical way of life and salvation by self-exertion. He expounded no dogmas to believe in, no creeds to accept without reasoning, no superstitious rites and ceremonies, no artificial sacrifice and penance.
The essence is astonishingly simple that we should follow a middle way of life. The four fundamental ideas are: all life is suffering; all suffering is due to selfish desires; all selfish craving can be overcome; this is done by pursuing the eight-fold path. They include right knowledge (understanding of the impermanent nature of human existence), benevolence (not to do harm to other creatures), right speech (avoid lies and harsh words), right action (abstain from taking what is not given), right livelihood (abstain from forbidden modes of living), right effort (suppress evil desires and simulate good thought), right mindedness (self mastery), right contemplation (meditation and inactivation of senses)
No theories
Gautama ‘has no theories’. He does not claim to be supernatural. According to his account he acquired wisdom through efforts that is possible to all men. He offers a scheme not a set of doctrines, a way not a creed, a philosophy of living not a religion. Eight-fold path implies a basic foundation of moral-fiber and ethical conduct. Man is normally unaware of his participation in spiritual evolution.
Law of evolution
There are no extraneous qualifications like attachment to a religious rebel, adaptation of robes of particular colours, forms of diet, marriage constrains; the Buddha’s path is universally meant for an ordinary man. The knowledge of the law of evolution is required. Man has freedom to formulate his own rules and accept any path.
Subject to the law of action and reaction a man is free to think as he desires and act as he likes, but he must know that ultimately he will arrive at the sum of the results of all his past reactions. His future is his own hands. Spiritual progress is no different from any progress in scientific endeavor which is governed by scientific laws and application of the same.

There are great many jokes about people who come to resemble their dogs. The woman who keeps a Pekingese, in time begins to snuffle and a terrier bearer grows whiskery and snappish and there are old wife tales abetted by what seems to be a freak series of coincidences. But most people failed to realize that from a psychological view point the reverse seems to be true. In that sense a dog is a psychological mirror of its master or mistress reflecting every emotional nuance of human. Every dog is individual with some genetic factors and others stemming from environment and background. Dog has an uncanny ability to sense emotional change in us. Many owners are even convinced that their pets are capable of telepathy.
Can a dog reason?
No, in our sense. But a person who has spent years with dogs can’t avoid what behaviorists term the “trap of anthropomorphism”. For a dog psychologist its thinking ability is unimportant. But the unsurpassed emotional sensitivity is used in human psychiatry. One of Britain alienists has said that he can often assess his patients beforehand, if he can see their dog. Psychiatry and psycho-analysis are different. We constantly read of instances where dogs have gone bad displaying inherent psychopathic tendencies. But over ninety nine percent of this so called ‘bad dogs’ are restored to a normal place in the canine community.
Once a dog turned savage with children, otherwise he was normal. The owner was in despair and thought of destroying the dog. Psychological treatment involved the dog as well as the owner and his teen age son. The boy regularly kicked the dog and it developed a compulsive offensive-defensive reflex. The primary stimulus is to trigger off the reflex from the boy. The loyalty made the dog not react to primary stimulus. Instead it used other children as the trigger to its response. It was then treated and adjusted itself to a new life. A normal dog develops along a psychological path. It is difficult to change the attitude of a dog not treated well at early stages. A dog becomes emotionally responsive from its seventh week. So training should begin at an early period.The emphasis is not necessarily on pedigree but rather on the extent to which dogs can socialize.
There are two extremes in the master-dog relationship neither of which is desirable. One is that in which the dog is cowed and submissive, nervous and apprehensive. The other is the willful master-of-the-house type of dog, whose every whim and wish is obeyed. The mean dog that is balanced, adjusted, happy and loyal will be capable of living in this complex human society.
The owners can guide their dogs along these lines and there will be an increasing need of psychiatrics and psychiatrists. The dog cannot achieve the goals we set without our guidance. For a dog there is no self-analysis or do-it-yourself therapy.
