Housewife_vs_Ant

Was going through this blogpost yesterday. Found it very interesting and thought how would it be to narrate this in the form of a cartoon strip rather than this plain text. Is it possible? in the world of web2.0 everything is possible. There is a cool site www.toondoo.com , developed by our company which can be used to create cartoons and thought of giving it a try.

Check it out.

Certain things do not change

"Y do certain things happen in the same way it happens? that too with amazing regularity?? Y does it happen to me always? don't i have a control over the proceedings?? From the outset, everything seems to be going fine. But as i near my goal, i am made to look like a fool and the fate pops up its ugly head and suddenly the target seems to go very very far. So near yet so far. Wont there be light at the end of the tunnel at all?? These things make me believe there is something called destiny and certain things are out of our hands. If you are not destined to get something, then u will not. Whatever may be the efforts you put to reach ur goal, it still eludes you. The saying "there is always a slip between the cup and the lip" holds true in many cases. Somehow someone comes in my way and prevents me from reaching my goal."

che... Sachin missed his 42nd ton again by a whisker

The above content might be the thoughts eating the mind of Sachin Tendulkar after having missed out yet another century this year.

The manner in which he finds ways to getout in nineties and his 42nd century jinx is certainly the topic of discussion of many nowadays to such an extent that mails are goin around trying to explain the reason he misses the much coveted mark in lighter vein. One of my colleagues, went to the extent of creating a toon-strip using the product developed by him, where he strongly believes that Sachin will fall in the nineties again.

Do check it out. Lets see how long it takes before the little master proves my colleague that his prediction is wrong.

Foot board travel

Footboard travel... one of the major issues faced by the transport corporation. The city dwellers might very well have noticed this daily. Atleast 20-25 people cling on to the bus precariously either in the foot board or the window bars. Most of them JUST manage to place their toe and palm in the bus and still pay the same fare that a person comfortably sitting inside the bus would pay. Quite unfair.. isnt it? something has to be done regarding this. The college students take this as an opportunity to showcase their hanging skills. They come a long way running behind the bus and somehow manage to get a hand and a foot inside the bus and just stick on to it. By the time, they are into the bus, the next stop has already approached and they have to get down to give way for others to board/alight the bus. Inshort, they mostly run behind the bus, thus keeping them in good shape. Now i understand why they are always energetic. But, it needs lot of stamina to run across the city in this traffic. Here too, they waste the money in the form of ticket/season ticket just for running behind the bus.

The govt tries to put its best foot forward in this regard by introducing lots of services, launching the new automatic door closure buses, increasing the passenger capacity of the buses.. but all their effors fail(fall) and they are left bewildered like a poor commuter who just fell out of the bus. But still the government cannot meet the growing needs and this menace still continues and lots of passengers still hang out of the
buses putting their lives and the fellow passengers lives in danger.


As a last and brave attempt, the government has introduced a new type of bus where the passengers just CANNOT travel in foot-board. Currently, as a trial measure they have introduced only one service in some other part of tamilnadu. If this measure proves successful, this will be followed in the city as well. Anyway, kudos to our transport corporation for such an innovative thinking and the way they MAINTAINing it as a secret till now.

Mentos...life to aisi....

Myself and my wife recently shifted to a separate house. We are using a fridge that has been unused for around 3 years. Since, it has not been used for a long while it is not functioning properly and whatever thing that we keep inside it, just stays as it is without getting cooled in spite of the fact that the fridge is running all day with the chillness adjusting disc pointing to the maximum value. On certain cases, we noticed that the item inside it is slightly warm. Very strange isn't it...

Day before yesterday, we prepared sandwich and decided to finish some house hold chores before having breakfast. Hence, to keep it hot, we kept it inside a hot pack and continued our work. After an hour or so, we finished our work, got ready and opened the hot pack expecting to much some hot sandwiches. To our disappointment, the sandwiches got so cool and the hot pack failed in its duty (you too?? :( ). Eventhen, we ate those sandwiches thinking on how to preserve the milk until the fridge gets reparied and how to maintain any stuff in its hot state until we get a new hot pack.....

The sandwich did the trick and we struck up an idea to combat this situation. We have decided to keep the things to be cooled(like milk, curd) inside the hot pack and the things which has to be maintained in the same temperature(sandwich,noodles) inside the fridge.

Cool.. no no.. hot.. no no.. some crap.. isn't it??

Who said, only mentos can give you great ideas.. even sandwiches can.. try it out....
