God is in each one of us. How?

So, when we are in trouble, we first pray to God as a habit. Here are some examples:

1. "Oh God, I am late, please do something. My boss is already mad at me"
2. "Oh God, the guests will reach home anytime and there are clothes everywhere. I am in such a mess, please help me."
3. "Oh God, I can't find my nail paint remover and I have to leave for this party in 10. Please help."

Then, we wait for a little while. No help arrives. God is too busy, obviously. We find some temporary / permanent solution in a jiffy. Consider the examples again:

1. We run out of the house, run to the auto rickshaw, agree to pay extra / race our car at times, we run to get into the train, the lift, our workstation... Phew, we somehow make it to work in time or at least in a way that the boss doesn't notice it.
2. We dump everything inside the wardrobe and ensure it is not opened in presence of the guests.
3. We apply a couple of extra coats on the chipped off nail paint.

God = X
We = Y
Who help themselves = Z

Friend in need is a friend indeed

For a minute, forget the story you heard. Seriously, now don't try to remember.

Now read the phrase carefully.
A Friend in need is a friend indeed[Okay, I ate the "A" in the title but I am making a strong point here about F for Friend]

It actually, grammatically, means this:
A friend, who is in need, is a friend indeed.

So all our friends, at least at one point in time, have been our friends indeed ; )

For those who do not know the story behind this saying, here it is.

English ease a funny language

Eye love the language, and eye mean no offense hear.

But seriously, who coined the initial words / spellings of the most popular and one of my favourite languages?

Here are some examples that make me wonder:

Chivalry: If they want it to sound like shi-valry, why not spell it Shivalry? They use Chi for words like China, Chimpanzee, Child and Chicken. Imagine how these words would sound now if we go with the "Shi" version.

Then, Than: Do you have any idea how many students score less in exams just because of this E and A confusion? What's the logic? 

To, Two, Too: Seriously? The person who did this definitely wanted to earn the title - No one can beat me in English.

Doctors never live close to supermarkets. Why?

Supermarkets have everything from unhealthy biscuits to refined oils.
But that's not the reason.

Supermarkets also have frozen foods and fizz drinks.
But that's not the reason either.

Supermarkets also have butter and sweets.
But that's not the reason either.

Supermarkets also have APPLES. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Supermarkets have tons of apples.

Cats love Mr. Stitch. Why?

The cat community would like to thank Mr. Stitch for being the one who really cares for them.

Thanks to Stitch, who ensured and saved the nine live of cats, someone up there decided that while we humans struggle with one, the cats can enjoy all their lives!

After all, A stitch in time saved nine!

Don't Click when you can Save

This is my second post about the incident. I have tried a timeline here to work out how someone could have been saved. When a train derailed in Mumbai and 17-year old Dhaval Lodaya lost his life as medical help did not arrive till 90 minutes, here's how people clicking photographs could have managed to get him help in not more than 40 minutes. Perhaps, he could have been saved. Please READ here and Share, so that God forbid, if something like this happens the next time, people are prepared.

The long and short of it

They were too many. Mostly beautiful, dark in complexion, but a few (10 to 15) were very fair and they sometimes felt discriminated as they were looked down upon. Nevertheless, they all were pally with each other and often played little games.

Time flies?

"Listen, I am the grandmother and you are just the mother," cried Ileana as she pulled little Sammy towards her.

"That's what I am saying too! Since I am the mother Sammy's got to be with me," Hally lifted Sammy in her arms and resumed her seat on the sofa at Andrea's house.
