If a bus takes you halfway to your destination, it must seem very logical to get as close as soon. It is possible that on the day you decide to get logical, things could just align themselves to ensure that you could lose more time than you have saved.
A driver got distracted by two trucks and had gone far ahead before she could take a turn to a usual stop. I just looked to other regular busmates. The driver seemed as prepared to salvage by saying that she could go back up and drop the person where he needed to get off. Never mind, he missed his connecting bus. Never mind that a person is waiting on the other side thinking what happened to the bus that should take her to the school.
Going back was only half the work-around. So now you know how half the buses which seem to be going in the opposite direction land there in the first place. They were meant to be on your route, but some trucks decide other wise...

Personification of disease
| Benjamin franklin has a dialogue with gout and for some unknown reason it had to be a woman. There are known to be other such personifications relating to the causes and remedies too..I can understand why he didnt have a dialogue with the remedy, most likely he never got to it. I wonder why he didnt have dialogues with indolence , his habits of chess and writing. |
If you were a fish
| would you feel cheated if you were lured with an artificial fly? Welcome to fly fishing. Why did the fish not evolve with the ability to shed off their tail at will? Then you could send your tail to test the water. But then again you could do this trial only as fast as the tail can grow. ************** Fishing with a worm- Bliss Perry |

Mountain roof
| There is an open space that I see every evening and since its not in grass, I generously call it fields. Through one of the windows, I saw few houses with the roofs - palms facing each other and the fingers touching at the top. Grey came into picture- from the clouds, from the distance of the mountain, from the roofs I just talked of, which seemed red till then. The new grey of the roof made the houses look white. This mountain is 2 or 3 days old in my album. The first day I found it, its presence puzzled me. Today's focus revealed sub mountains in front, much like the houses with sub sections of similar roofs. How fast the mountains change.. the tectonic forces I tell you.. |
El Nino
| This little kid stared and stared and then just broke the stare unbashfully. The white and the black of her eyes reminded me of the inside of a custard apple. Was it because she was too young to reflect cognition in her eyes? |

If only there were two of me
| Three weeks ago, I saw a black round table with two people at it and a half wall beyond which steps led to a fountain and the rest of the sides. I thought to myself, this is the place I want to sit at, have coffee and ponder. This should happen on a non-sunny afternoon with not much of a crowd around. But how can I ever watch it happen standing from where the wish was begotten? |

See Chef bat
Today my fielding skills were called to attention at Hon Machi, what with the chef batting out a pea which could be missed if not due to lack of my attention then for its size for sure... Aww!! so you cant watch food being prepared in front of you and think of something else if it is Teppan Grill.. With the caution I put in, I managed to dissuade the chef from squirting teriyaki sauce at me.. But it was fun watching the egg being broken in the air..I was told to expect this..
Even if you make yourself believe that mustard sauce looks a lot like peanut sauce and devour it.. it sure does not wait long to tell...
