pots and pants

i finally discovered the one big difference between a man in a kitchen, and a woman in a kitchen.
man: to make one sabzi, 10 dishes will be used, 4 spoons, many lids, 5 powders, and all will be accomplished in stages. by the end of the 35 minute hot flush episode, there will be a colourful sabzi, matched by a colourful amount of dirty dishes, all strewn around for the bhai to handle the next morning.

woman: to make one sabzi, a small pan will be taken, which will see the sabzi through from tadka to dining table, all in the span of 5 minutes. bhai next morning will have one dish and one serving spoon to contend with...

so which is the better output? am still working out that one.

kiss and yell

so many people i know kiss ass to get ahead. and get ahead they do. if they're the butt of jokes, they don't care, coz in the end they are climbing faster than the neighbouring geek. so here's a personality profile i have drawn up of people most likely to ass kiss on their way to the top:
1. 5%intellect + 95% hot air
2. exaggerated sense of self
3. wannabes of the highest order
4. if you ask them a pointed question, which they are supposed to know, they will reply with a question, and then flee
it's not that i am against ass kissers, it's just that you require a skill set to pull it off, and most of the ass kissers i know, and they are omnipresent, just don't have it!
5. freaky humour
6. inability to enjoy the money they make

boxing day

i don't like boxing movies... blood spilling over the audience as teeth shatter and ribs smash ain't my cup of tea. but i chanced to watch the latest ron howard film cinderella man. it had russel crowe in it, and once again in beautiful mind mode, he gave a breath taking performance. in lots of ways, he reminds me of aamir khan. you don't get to watch him often, his films are few and far between, but when he does do a film, it stays with you for a long time to come.
coming back to cinderella man, its the story of a man who reaches his pinnacle only to fall face down... but he gets up again, and goes on to become the darling of the masses. true story of course! must watch... if you are into all of the above.

phobic

Girls and boys start out at comparable levels of interest and abilities in math, science and technology during lower elementary grades... Research has shown that perceptions begin to slowly change in upper elementary grades when girls tend to view the computer as a tool to complete a task, while boys begin playing games and establishing a "friendship" with their computers.
(Research has shown that girls prefer problem-solving and strategy computer games over shoot-to-kill scenarios.)
Perhaps if girls in elementary school experience technology as fun and enriching they will make the choice in high school to enroll in advanced math and science courses. In this way, opportunities will remain open to them that previously would be closed. Teaching girls the benefits of being tech-savvy requires the collaboration of parents, teachers, and designers.
