Alarming Situation!

Whats the most irritating way of waking up in between a good and a sound sleep?

a) A stranger ringing the door bell asking if you are Viswanath omkarnath? huh?

b) A phone call which says you are the most valuable customer of their Bank or their telephone company... coming to think of it you might not be holding a bank account or even a telephone connection from these guys.

Well the options a and b are applicable for people who have their morning coffee before they go to bed.

c) Alarm Clock.. which by the way would have been set by you to wake up early and then starting to curse yourself and the poor clock for no fault of its own by which time you'd have heard the snoozed alarm at least 10 times before you finally decide to wake up.

Fact time..Do you Know who invented Snooze in Alarms. No points for any right guesses... but its our very own Kuttapan from Gods own Country. Now, Kuttapan one fine morning missed his alarm, slept an hour extra and reached his office late.On the way he noticed he had missed his regular bus and thought he would never make it to office that day but to his surprise he found out that there was a bus every 10 minutes to his office.He thought why not have the same system for an alarm clock. where in the alarm rings every 10 minutes reminding you to wake up. So thus came the Snooze in an alarm.

Keeping up to my promise i have tried to make my blog as informative as possible.

Now some Alarm experts like my friend who is also my roommate say that we should not wake up at the first ring of an alarm but hit the snooze on their alarm clock at least 4 to 5 times in the morning before actually opening our eyes and getting some clothes on. This according to him helps us face the challenges in the day ahead well, because the more we sleep the more we meditate as sleep is the best form of meditation.Trust me, this will be scientifically proven one day or may have already been proven, we just didnt know because we were busy meditating.

Now my mom used to the traditional way of snooze when i had to wake up early for my tuition's when i was in school. All she had to do was switch off the fan and let the mosquitoes do the rest.They would come and buzz around your ear urging you to wake up every 5 minutes, and to switch off the snooze all i had to do was kill a mosquito. This however had an additional advantage of improving your accuracy and aim with your eyes half open.

So Happy Snoozing and enjoy the song.

Miss...Take...Anyone??

Happy New Year to Everyone!!

One more year gone away from our lives. One more year of mistakes left behind.

Ever kept a diary? Well i haven't... And even if i had i would have observed that all the mistakes i make in my life would be repeating itself.

Now here's a story i had read somewhere.

Once 2 Hunters go hunting to a dense forest.They charter a plane to help them get there. The pilot drops them in the forest and they go hunting for 2 days. The pilot returns after 2 days to get the hunters and the hunted.

The pilot looks at the animals and says"I can take all other animals except the ox and the 2 zebras as I don't think the Plane can take its weight"
The 1st hunter says "But we took animals exactly like these in a similar plane last time we came hunting"

The pilot after a lot of deliberations finally got convinced and took the ox and the zebra along in the plane.

Just after the plane took off it came crashing down a few hundred feet away from where they took off.But all of them unhurt.

The 2 hunters came out and so did the pilot rubbing his forehead covered in blood.

The 1st hunter asks the 2nd one. "Any idea where we crashed"
The 2nd hunter says" I think we are just a bit off from where we crashed the last time!!"

The Morale of the Story...You need to be intelligent to make mistakes as well.New ones of course.

Intelligence makes us aware and thus helps us to learn from our mistakes the first time around. So live intelligenty and never commit the same mistake

Mistakes are fine. But if you commit the same mistake again and again then it becomes a sin.

Personally i like mistakes, unless you are saving somebodies life.Seriously, mistakes are all over us. We just don't realise them.

Anyways Here's wishing you all again an intelligent and an eventful 2010.

Tribute to the Walk

Ever noticed how you walk??

Well I got a chance and its pathetic... I just joined a gym and they have these big big mirrors on all sides...probably to make you feel bad about the extra flab and the bulging tummies and work harder.. But somehow it doesn't work.. you just feel bad for a month and then get back to your chips and noodles in your couch.

Anyways my point is.. I started going to the Gym and noticed my self in the mirror ...Walking!! yea and i realised its pathetic ...And i need to change.

So what do i do?

I do an analysis on the different walking styles as i dint have any better job to do.
So here goes.

1. Gandhi Walk.. Remember Dandi March? Ever seen the determination in his walk to liberate India. and a stick is a must for this style of walking. Maybe that's why its not popular yet.

2. Cat Walk... Needs no introduction. Mother of all Walks. Guys would have infarct done a PhD on this style.. They would know the movements right from head to toe.Very popular walking style among girls and keeps the guys occupied too.

3. P Walk.. Now this is a style we would have all done in our life. Ever faced a situation where you had to go to the restroom badly and you had to walk a long distance to get there.. If not try it!!

4. Penguin Walk.. If you watch National Geographic Channel you'll know what this walk is all about.Again popular among girls but Guys too tend to follow.

5. Ouch Walk.. What do you say when your shoe bites.. ouch!!! you can actually hear Ouchs when they walk...

6. Kick Walk.. This is a very unique way of walking. Line up footballs in your path and go on walking and kicking the balls at the same time... you have this walk! Our Good ol' Mohanlal is the master of this walk.

7. Depressed Walk.. This is a walk characterised by all the depressed people out there. They walk as if they are forced to walk in this world.

Anyways Like they say..Walking gets the feet moving, the blood moving, the mind moving. And movement is life. So Keep Walking and and enjoy the video.

Save Us.... We're Sinking

Funny isn't it. Just a couple of months back we were complaining of late monsoons and drought. Now when the rains are finally here, we are complaining thats its raining too much.

Take our Indian team in Champions Trophy for example. We all went ga ga over our teams performance in all the previous tournaments. But now all the ga ga has disappeared.

The one pleasant thing however in the CT was the entire nation rooting for Pakistan in the Pak vs Aus match which Pak had to win to let India through to the semis. Don't remember such support from Indians for the Paks before and that too when India was playing another match at the same time.

We as Indians have the habit of complaining for all sorts of things. Right from Sachin getting bowled to food not being spicy. We complain when we have rains and if it doesn't rain, we again complain.

Now what if we dont have any reason to complain? No prize for any guesses. We complain of not having any reason to complain.

Talking about Complaints, I have a friend in office. We call him the "Complaint Box". Why?... Because he complaints about almost everything. Right from the Cab he takes to arrive at the office to the mouse he uses. Not that myself and others are far behind in complaining. But you see he really does it from the bottom of his heart.

I think its a motivational factor for all of us. Complaining gives us a sense of satisfaction.

Anyways,my Point!!.... The whole world is complaining.

And for those who dont have anything to complain about... enjoy the video below.

This...for all Mallus
