This and That!

What? You thought I had disappeared again? If only.

I am saying this one last time on this blog.

Dear God, sometimes, you are really really unfair. And in times like those, I am sorry to say, but I feel jealous of atheists. At least, they don't feel guilty saying thank god.

I mean, pray explain your logic behind making me take decisions I will regret later. If you and I had to play the "I-Told-You-So-Game", trust me, our equation would be very different. Seriously? I told you so? That's your BIG idea? I am disappointed. 

And while on the subject, it would be great if you could explain to me why some people have ALL the luck in the world, while others have none. You have probably not attended B-School, but any voracious newspaper reader could explain to you the concept of Economies of Scale. Remember? Why do I always get phased out by luck? Why can't you distribute luck equally! Bruce Almighty had a very valid point when he went around dividing the lottery amount by the amount of people who applied. Maybe he made better God.

Kidding. Don't take revenge now. Please.

So, what is it like being God? Lists of requests, you keep ticking them off on first come first serve basis? Or are we looking at a systematic system where you tag people whose one request has been fulfilled and remove them off the system till others are catered to? 
I am guessing first-come-always-served. I get it. Its the easy way out. Have done it several times myself.
But let's put this in perspective. 
6,973,738,433 people or approximately 7 Billion.
Assuming 10% atheists, we are left with 6.3 Billion believers.
At a decent rate of 2 requests per day, we have around 13 billion requests.
Now, if 20% of these are smart-asses who get up early in the morning to place their requests, the rest 80% normal people are basically as good as non-believers. Because, they are never first and hence, by your own admission, never served!
Sheeeesh!
That's an efficiency rate lower than the passport office in Delhi!

I promise not to say that out aloud. No revenge, please!

Also, one last thing. When you made me, you apparently forgot to put in a filter, right before the tongue. I keep saying things I shouldn't. I know. Its too late to fix that. But, if I promise not to file an RTI for the above problems, will you at least promise me this one thing? Every time I say something stupid, just make sure the other person is not paying attention to me! Would make life a whole lot easier!

Anyway.

Rant ends here.

How you doing, otherwise? All good, I hope!

Yours faithfully,

  6. Ok as per your math, in the past one year when I slept hardly an hour or two and kept talking to the big guy on similar lines as you I should have been the luckiest of those 6.3 billion but that is not the case.
    So the truth is everybody gets a piece of the cake it's just that some start eating it from the icing and some reach the icing in the end, but we all will eventually get to the icing :)

    Hugs dear..hope things shape up to your liking soon :)

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether. But then, on reflection, I thought I owed this one to the unseen forces above. Hence, this post! LETTER #1 To The Gods Above, 1, "All Roads Lead to Heaven" Road, Heaven - 000000 15.06.2010 From Un Faithful Earthling Somewhere on Earth - Does the pin code matter? Sir/Ma'am, SUB: Complaint Regarding Services Rendered             This is to bring to your kind attention, the highly unsatisfactory services being rendered to me, not at all in keeping with the Contract signed during my release to the Earth. Further, I wish to register a complaint regarding the following key issues: Interaction With Irritating People : According to Clause 4 of my Contract which you have also signed, it was mutually agreed by both parties, that during my peaceful stay on Earth, my interaction with irritating peo...

The Truant Family!

The low hanging trees were always in demand. As Raji rushed for the nearest one, with her little brother in her tow, she cast a quick glance at the tree to survey the bounty. It was laden with fresh guavas, alright! Pumped, she put her foot on the lowest branch and pulled herself up. Raji had barely put her foot on the next branch, when she felt a tug on her skirt. Feeling a nudge of irritation, she peered down at her four year old brother. "What is it, Appu?" "Where's my guava?" he demanded. "Will you at least wait while I climb up?" She resumed her climb up carefully, so as not to tear her skirt. The trick was to choose the right branches.She had barely moved up one level, when she felt a tug again. She looked around for the nearest ripe guava and hurled it before Appu could speak.She heard his chuckles of delight as he dug into large juicy bites. That settled, she ensconced in a comfortable branch, and began her feast of the large, ripe guavas. S...

The Top 5 List!

Nothing. Nothing at all prepares you for office-life post college. No amount of counseling, talking to Seniors, reading self help book, listening to lectures from parents and elder siblings, Googling about "Life At Company X". Nothing I am not saying work is boring. Far from it. All I am implying is that, office is not like college and everyone realizes that the hard way, at some point in time. For some, it's Day One. For some, it's post the training period. For some, it's the first appraisal. For some, it's the day you resign.  But thankfully, there are a million things that make office, umm, let's say, bearable. So, presenting to you, my list of: TOP FIVE THINGS THAT MAKE OFFICE FUN! AT NUMBER 5 : Chai Breaks! Nope. I do not drink Chai, or Coffee, or Alcohol, or even aerated drinks. But when the others go out for Chai, I tag along diligently. I stand there in the sun and squint my eyes in the heat to watch my colleagues sip on deadly hot, hot chai ma...
