Tiles and Tables
Mah Jong
While reading 'The Joy Luck Club' by 'Amy Tan', when I came across a character having to replace the 'fourth corner' of a 'Mah Jong' Table, I saw it as just some table where these families gathered for potluck. As the story went, words like 'tiles' got associated with this table, which got me jumbling tiles and table in my head. It actually turns out to be a game.

Long Life
When you make noodles do you break them into two, like I feel, I have seen in the two minutes 'Maggi' ad. How does it matter? It does according to certain beliefs. In Chinese tradition, Long noodles symbolise long life. No wonder, there is a noodle company which goes by the name of 'Long Life'. Long Live the noodles . Cant think of students life without it, atleast during the final weeks of the semester.
