Generalisation

Ask Greg Chapell after a few years when he settles back in Australia about his memories of Chennai. He would say
' oh its such a wet place, water everywhere and it rains there always'
We all know how true that statement could be.
Is he lying ?
No, His statement is true to his knowledge and experience.

A few blogs ago I made a sweeping generalisation, I said Americans love violence. A statement so far from truth.

I sincerely apologise and I will not make any attempt to defend myself.
It was plain wrong. And I am not deleting that blog, let it remain as an evidence of my stupidity.

I have promised myself many times that I will never make such sweeping generalisation. But I have never stuck to it. We all make such generalisation during arguments, or discussions. I know that I will make such generalisation in the future too. Sometimes we can't avoid. I know its wrong.

2 in the afternoon its so dark in here, looks like night, all the lights are on. Not in the best of moods today.

Platos

1 apple 1 Rupee
10 apples 8 Rupees
100 apples 60 Rupees

This how things are all over the world
But for Chennai Telephones and Electrcity Board
things are different

1 apple 1 Rupee
10 apples 12 Rupees
100 apples 200 Rupees

They seem to have their own logic.

5 in the morning and it has just started raining, I tell you these people are never going to learn,
We used to have Cricket matches only during Pongal holidays. God save the test, hope the rain stops.
There you go. My neighbour is at his bike again, trying to start from past one hour, I want to go back to sleep but not until he succeeds or gives up.

One question please

All the cat lovers out there ! would you please tell me if the eyebrows on the kitten are strange ?
I have not seen them on any kitten born in my house before, though the suspected father below has them.

Growth

The plant is jutting ot of my neighbour's 2 feet thick concrete wall. This perhaps may not mean anything to you. This is just a common sight.
you see this every where.
This tells me who stays and who goes. Its a reminder.

Things grow by themselves, we have no power to stop the growth.

This planet has the capacity to heal itself, what ever damage human greed may cause, it may take hundreds or thousands of years. We are not trying to save the planet, we are actually trying to save ourselves and our future generations. The planet knows when to wipe us all out. We humans are just a bunch of jokers lost in our beliefs. Happy are those who don't care to know why we are here, happy are those who think they have the answer. The planet is laughing at us.

Good Samaritan

Aha ! so you know how to cross the road.
good very good.
Do you cross the road on your own or you hold a road crossing manual in your hand ? or use a walking stick, or cross the road sitting on a wheel chair when you have the strength to stand on your own and walk ?

A good Samaritan is always looking for a blind man to help him cross the road
' wait wait where are you taking me ?
zooom zoom zoom speeding cars trucks passing by
'Thank you sir for helping me but actually I was waiting for my friend I did not want to cross the road.'
You really feel good, feel purified when you help a blind man cross the road.
There is no difference actually, We are just as blind.

"Forgive them my Lord for they know not what they are doing"
English translation : These guys are maniacs
I forgive my cat for he knows not what he is doing. He is another maniac.

This chap was trying to catch my fingers while I was typing and he stepped on the power key shutting down the system, had to type it all over again, Do you realise that my cat is trying to help you all ? Preventing me from posting this blog ?

Putputs and Priya the last four lines are for youI actually wrote something more and desparately tried to bring it down to four lines and failed. sorry
