Consumption of Alcohol:
- may make you think you are whispering when you are not
- is a major factor in dancing like a wanker
- may cause you tell the same boring story over and over again until your friends want to smash your face in
- may lead you to believe that ex-lovers are really dying for you to telephone them at 4 in the morning
- may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your trousers
- may make you think you can logically converse with other members of the opposite sex without spitting
- may make you think you possess mystical kung-fu powers
- may cause you to roll over in the morning and see something really scary(whose species, and/or name you can't remember
- is the leading cause of inexplicable rug burns on the forehead
- may lead to traffic signs and cones appearing in your home
- may lead you to believe you are invisible
- may lead you to believe that people are laughing with you
- may cause an influx in the time-space continuum, whereby small and sometimes large gaps of time may seem to literally disappear

Catch-22
An excerpt from the book Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. I couldn't resist blogging this.
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would be no longer crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to;but if he didn't want to he was sane and he had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

Another interesting chat
He: do you believe in God?
me: i am actually in confused state. my logical mind is fighting with me nowadays to prove god
what about u ?
He: I support your logical mind....
me: hmm.... but i have believed in god all these years .. so i think it will take time for me to actually reject god completely
its difficult
He: true.. we cannot become atheists overnight.....
me: ya
He: I believe there is God which is nothing but your Self Confidence....its the greatest power
me: very true, but still we cannot delete god!! :)
He: correct...but I wonder...who created the world and the universe...and what is the purpose for which we are here??..any thoughts and opinions on this ??
me: there is no purpose for which we were created... we were just created by accident - we are a by product of evolution. time and space is still a mystery - i think, we cannot find as to when all began or when all will end or how big is this universe ... time and space are infinite quantities
what say ?
He: may be...not sure...but dont you think...time and space are defined by humans ...and just a concept...not concrete quantities
me: thats true ... do you know that if we travel fast time will actually slow down
He: ya....
me: relativity
He: true....
me: all i can say is we quantify those bcoz science needs things which are quantified to work on
He: very true, so ...what do you think...what should be our aim in life?? is it just surviving ??
me: ya... food is the basic need of life... we all do whatever we do for food... bcoz we dont like to be starved to death.. and other things we do is to keep us occupied till we die - like studying, working, entertainment. also we want to propagate our genes .. so we get married and pass on our genes to our children...
thats it :)
He: i feel man wants to live for ever ..but cant do that..so tries to live thro his children...
but i am not sure why we should survive and propagate...??
me: u r asking the purpose again .. .our genes have been coded like that :) they make us reproduce and pass our genes its inbuilt [or only the genes which do that have survived]

Google is placing ads in orkut
I saw Google ads today in Orkut on the communities. I was surprised all these days as to how google did not put any ads in orkut, with so much traffic on the sites. Finally they are doing business.
