Rules of life

1/ Whenever I find the key to success someone changes the lock...

2/ The road to success is always ....under construction..

3/ Alcohol doesn't solve any problems, but if you think again, neither does Milk.

4/ All the desirable things in life are either illegal, expensive or fattening or married/engaged to someone else.

5/ Since Light travels faster than Sound, people appear brighter before you hear them speak.

6/ You can never determine which side of the bread to butter. If it falls down, it will always land on the buttered side.

7/ Anything dropped on the floor will roll over to the most inaccessible corner.

8/ As soon as you mention something?? if it is good, it is taken! If it is bad, it happens.

9/ Once you have bought something, you will find the same item being sold somewhere else at a cheaper rate.

10/ When in a queue, the other line always moves faster and the person in front of you will always have the most complex of transactions.

11/ You will pick up maximum wrong numbers when on roaming.

12/ Irrespective of the direction of the wind, the smoke from the cigarette will always tend to go to the non-smoker.

13/To Err is human, to forgive is not a COMPANY policy.

A conversation

This is something I wrote for my Institute's Annual Magazine. I don't know how it got selected for publication.


Once, while talking
to my cousin,
I was asking her
question after question. (1)

On why as we
grow older and older,
We separate and
go farther and farther. (2)

Sitting together
and having some fun,
Like chasing the rays
of the bright sun. (3)

Going to the hill
and fishing in the river,
Lighting a bonfire
in a chilling winter. (4)

For all the things
that are missed,
Getting older
should be abolished. (5)

Then I said,
"You know my sister!
Someone is happy
with this feature." (6)

"Who is he?"
She enquired.
"It's none other than mobile."
I replied. (7)

"Though you and me,
it connects.
But in return
a lot it takes." (8)

"It squanders our money,
disturbs our sleep.
Its tring tring takes away
our mental peace." (9)

She laughed and said,
"Oh! Yes my dear,
My friends stick to it
without any fear." (10)

"They talk throughout the day,
and it continues in the night.
I am getting sick of it,
Please show some light."(11)

I said, " I'm in the same boat
can't show you light.
Here's the same scene,
nothing seems so bright." (12)

Just by then,
my night pack expired.
I stopped conversation
And wished her Good night. (13)
