Geometry Box..Aaah!!!!!!!

Yeah, remember those bright orange and yellow colored Camlin heavy boxes which carried utilities that had special place in your school bag?

 Every school kid's birthday gift wish. Neighbor's envy and owner's pride. Some kids were lucky enough to own them much earlier than others. And then what a show-off it was. Get the whole group's attention, get the box out of the special zone in the bag, take off the plastic cover that it came with; no not your dirty hands but your teeth that would open the box. Place it near your lips, feel it, caress it and then bite it open. Each of the instrument were neatly put pack in their plastic cover, tucked into the plastic molded holder and shut tight only to bring the box back to school the next time there was a geometry class.

The world inside was all like Calculus and Trigonometry for a high school kid. Compass, double compass(didn't know it was called a divider then), Protractor and what were those 2 other 'scales' doing in the box? For all I knew, the double compass was used to carve out names on the desk. Co-ed folks would have used it for carving out hearts also I believe.

 I remember nagging my parents to get me once the moment I stepped into class 5. Some of my class mates already had them . It was also the battle of mass v/s class. Mass being the "ok-ok" Nataraj Geometry box. They had mini versions too. Class being the Camlin ones. The look and feel of the two would give you an idea why Camlin was expensive and tougher to possess than Nataraj. And I like Camlin a lot.

Only when I went to higher class then only we were taught it was not Geometry Box but Geometrical Instruments Box. Aaah! see, sophistication. Rubber was to be addressed as Eraser, Mender was to be called as Sharpener and Scale as Ruler :-D

Of course, got to know that Double Compass was Divider and it did have a noble use than carving out names. For all I knew, Geometry box was an expensive object to possess. Only few kids were privileged to  get them. And once you own it, you need to preserve it so much that you ended up borrowing set squares and compass from friends in the class so that yours remain new. Such care :)

Miss those days? Aah certainly!

How to Create Time

 Today i read this article in linkedin. I like it. for that i'm posting this article in my blog.Plz read and give your comment.

Clocks and calendars are my enemy, but time is my friend. If I could have anything in the world, it would be more time. I am, like many -- even most-- people on LinkedIn, busy. I love working, I find work fun. I do a lot of things. But even though I work with joy, often it seems like I'm working badly, under cramped and unpleasant conditions, or ineffectively, squandering my days. How do you make a day of joy and order instead of a day of fruitless labor and chaos?

Here are some things I've done to create more time. Some of them work. Actually, all of them work. I just need to practice them.

Eliminate or reduce media. TV, for starters. That's easy. Computers, since I work in tech, and love the internet, is less easy. Smartphones, also not easy. For a while I had my email retrieve messages from the server only at 10AM and at 4PM. That was brilliant. I should do that again. And at another time I spent roughly an hour online in the morning and another hour in the afternoon. Super! I was up to date on all my social media and yet I suddenly felt as if I had cloned myself, I had so much time.

Work offline. A blog post like this one can be written using a paper and pencil, and you're significantly less likely to find yourself, five hours after you started writing it, editing a Wikipedia entry on Even-toed Ungulates. I speak of what I know, friend. Paper, yes. Pencil, yes. Some of my favorite tools are listed on Lifehacker.

Do less. Eliminate activites that are prestigious. Eliminate activities that require you to be around people you can't stand. Eliminate activities that you know are a waste of time that you keep on doing out of habit. Do things that add meaning to your life. Fulfill your responsibilities. Don't do things for people who should be doing them for themselves.

Don't make appointments or schedule meetings. This is difficulty level 8 or 9, but not impossible. One way around this one is the "come by Thursday afternoon" strategy -- that is, not setting a specific time to meet, but being flexible about that time the meeting starts. This is significantly less stressful for everyone and not even less efficient. Well, let's just say it is less stressful for me. I imagine it would drive more OCD or Aspergersy type people around the bend.

Sleep in two shifts. Researchers have discovered that in pre-industrial times, people slept in two shifts, waking in the middle of the night for some solitude, conversations with another person, wondering, or wandering. Then they'd go back to sleep for another stretch. I have been doing this lately, and have been able to get 2-3 hours of uninterrupted creative work done in the middle of the night.

Make time less precious. We are way too efficient, making use of every hour, every minute. When you were a kid, didn't you just spend hours poking sticks in the mud, climbing trees and sitting in them, looking at shells and seaweed that washed up on the shoreline? Time was not precious then, we weren't trying to stuff an accomplishment into every minute every day, we had time for thoughts and feelings. That was good! Any day spent that way was a day of joy and order. There was so much time.

The shortest Horror story ever: . .

A husband kills his wife while their 5 yr old son was asleep.
The weird thing was that his kid never asked for his mom even 3 days after she went missing.
Father: Is there something u want to ask me?
Kid: I just wonder why mom is always standing behind your back ?

If Today

If today was the last day of my life
I would leave all worries aside
I would be thankful to be alive
I would be all right
I would just smile

If today was the last day of my life
I would stop to smell the roses
I would appreciate all that surrounds me
I would be friendly, and I would laugh
I would take the time to be closer

If today was the last day of my life
I would pass on peace
I would be generous
I would pass on love
I would deeply breath

If today was the last day of my life
I would accept peacefully all that comes,
including my death,
for death
is just a new beginning.

I hate Jealousy

I can't say i have never ever felt jealous, because i have in the past, a little envious maybe, but when you look at it more clearly..............It's such a wasted emotion ! I can’t say I really hate the emotion "jealousy". After all it's a normal emotion and we all have it at one point or another. I suppose the worst thing a person could do is to act out unfairly against another person who did nothing wrong….

Love and life (nonsense poetry)

Our hearts collide
Our minds decides
Our body joined
with passion and desires.

The evening calls
with a nightingale songs.
A silent warm embrace
A lovers under the moon
Whispering sweet nothings
As their love reknown.

Yesterday go by
As tomorrow coming by
Past should best left behind.
And better moving on.

As we travel on this journey
We unravel the mystery
Life is such a play
We are the actress and actors to relay.

Love is a trick from heaven's above
Heart just beats for the chosen one
Not everybody is lucky to have one
As the road is not a smooth as we dance.

Love to do Nonsense
