Irony

On and off, I keep clicking pictures that tickle my funny bone.

Here are some recent discoveries.

This one informs a Domino's Pizza lover, that the carton is not suitable for oven use... but puts the information at the bottom of the carton.

Here, we have the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai persuading Mumbai-ites to keep Mumbai clean... using the Comic Sans font! Is there a deeper message in there?

I wonder what the guys at the TV Channel would think of this birthday-candle maker.

Friends

"Hi."

"Hey hi. How have you been? It's been such a long time that we chatted."

"Yeah, quite some time. I am doing fine yaar. How have you been?"

"I have been doing good too. Life has become hectic, but I am better this way."

"Hmm, good to know you are fine."

"Hmm. So tell me. How come you called? Any special news?"

"No, nothing special. Actually, I was just feeling a little lonely. A bit out of place. So thought of calling you."

"I hope all is well. Anything serious?"

"No, not at all. Nothing wrong, nothing serious. In fact, everything's just perfect. Hmm, yeah, everything's fine. As I said, just lonely. It suddenly felt as if I had lost touch with myself. And then, suddenly thought of you."

...

When he hung up, he knew it was the longest chat that he had had in a long, long time.

Look at the Sunset

Just completed reading a book by Paul Arden - God explained in a taxi ride.

It was recommended by a friend, and both of us thought it would be fun because I am a atheist... or agnostic... whatever.

In an attempt to understand the concept of God, I came closer to understanding my beliefs in God. The author provokes us using a simple question, "Look at that sunset. Who created it?" He goes on to say it could be God, or Accident, or Fluke. If you think is a Fluke, then you believe in Fluke. For you, Flukes are God.

Overall, the point being whatever your answer to that question, that's what you believe in. Personally, I think my answer would be "I don't know". And applying the same logic, my God is the unknown.

I think the logic is clever. 'Coz that's what I do, I read up on stuff that's unknown. I surf, search, find, discuss and most of the times the topic is not something that's already known to me. It's something new and different, something I have come to experience for the first time.

What it means, is that like everyone else, I too am spending my time and energy in following my God.

Absolutely hate to admit it, don't I? :)
