I have a part time job in a small office. The office is just about a kilometer from my house.
Generally I do not use a vehicle to go there.
I could use my motor bike but I usually do not.
The reason is quiet simple. It saves me money
and to some extend, it save me time. Honestly
it saves me time. I have to cross a big, busy
junction on the way and if I were to use the
bike I would be waiting for the police man to
let me through. On the other hand, when
I walk, I do not wait for any signal before I
cross the road. Actually there are no signals.
Only a lone policeman at the junction.
But recently I realized that it is not this that
makes me walk. I usually use an umbrella on
my way to the office, rain or shine. It is too hot
a sun for me; or it is raining. I do not like hot
sun. As I walk in the hot sun under the shade
of the umbrella, the poor policeman gives me
a pathetic look of envy. He has to stand right
in the very center of the black hot road under
the white hot sun, from morning till evening,
wearing his dark tight cap. Diesel fumes
smother him and loud horns make his life
miserable. Once in a way the poor man takes
his cap off and wipes his sweaty brow with
his sweat soaked stinking hand kerchief.
I once saw a poor chap take refuge in a
parked auto rikshaw. His face was the very
epitome of misery. The only diversion the
poor devils have is to talk to someone over
the cell phone.
Such scenes make me realize that my life
is better than the police man’s. That makes
my trip from home to the office stimulating.
At the same time it makes me wonder. Why
cannot our police chiefs give the police man
an umbrella? Will his duty be a shade less
well discharged or will he do it better?
I am sure he will curse his fate a little less.
What will serve him better,
a cell phone or an umbrella?
Do we still have to stick to norms
of conduct left by the colonial masters?

Budhoose as a young man joined the
Boy Scout movement.
He proudly wore the scout uniform,
blew his whistle loud and paraded in
the streets in style. He looked here
and there for an opportunity to
help any old men cross the road.
He had been told by his scoutmaster
that helping an old man cross would
take him to heaven.Soon he came
across an old woman who was waiting
to cross the cross. She was
obviously in distress. She stood there
leaning on her rickety stick and
looked left and right to see if the
traffic would stop for a moment.
But nothing happened, the traffic
continued and never stopped to let
her pass.
As Budhoose neared her she asked him
“Son, will you help me cross this road?”
Budhoose stopped to listen to her and said
“Actually
we are supposed to help old men
cross the road. Unfortunately you are
not an old man and so I cannot do
anything about it”
Saying so he walked on leaving
the old woman to her own resources.
Soon he came across an old man waiting
'at the side of the road. Budhoose went to him and said
“Uncle I will help you cross the road”
Budhoose caught hold of the old man”s
hand and draged him across the road.
But the old man protested.
“No, I do not want to cross the road.
Leave me alone!”
But Budhoose too protested
“No uncle we are supposed to help
old men cross the road. So you have to come”
Budhoose continued to drag the old man across the road.
At last, in exasperation the old man
lifted his walking stick and thwacked
Budhoose on his head and ran away.
Budhoose
was not discouraged. He continued his
search for old men waiting to
cross the road. But he became wiser
and decided to be more careful and
discrete. He walked on.
Soon he came across another old man
by the side of the road. Budhoose
approached him carefully and asked cautiously
“Uncle, are you trying to cross the road?”
“Yes son. I have been waiting here
for a long time to get some help”
Budhoose was very happy.
At last there was a good chance
to do some good to some
one who was in need.
The vision of himself living happily in heaven
passed through his mind.
He saw gorgeously dressed
old men and women
chatting with each other in the
peace and silence of heaven. He tried
to listen to their chat and talk.
Unfortunately Budhoose could not make
out even a word of the language
they were talking in.
“Walk me across the road, young man!
I have been waiting long enough”
the old man was getting impatient.
Budhoose woke up from his dreams
and asked the old man.
“Uncle do you speak Malayalam?”
“Yes, but why?” the old man asked.
“Oh,
never mind. I will take you across,
come on” Budhoose said and took his
arm and lead him across the street
to the other side.
Once on the other side of the road
Budhoose started to laugh.
“Why are you laughing?” the old man asked.
“Now I will go to heaven”
Budhoose exclaimed loud and laughed again.
“But why are you laughing?”
the old man asked again.
“Thank God you can speak Malayalam.
I will be able to talk to you at lest.
No one there seem to know any decent language”
Budhoose thanked the old man
and left looking for other old men
to confirm his entry into heaven.

My reply to the mail I got

Dear who ever you are,
I do not like advice, especially religious and unsolicited. Stop
sending this type of messages. this type of mails and messages will make many people hate you and your
venture. That hate will make them go to hell. you will be the reason
for so many people going to hell. so for your own good, stop this
hate-mary compaign.
no one likes hate mails.
why do you think jesus christ was god? any one can go around saying
that he or she is god. can any one disprove it? go to any mental
hospital and you will see many gods.
any one can print a book and claim that it is written by god. stop believing in this type of nonsense.
jesus christ was a good and compassionate man. but still he was a man and only a man.
do believe in his teachings. But stop making a god of him. he was not
a godman and an immitation saint. I am sure he himself would not have cared to be a god.
I am sure he would not aprove of your going around canvasing for him.
did he go around saying that all of you should beleive in him?
certainly not. He did not offer to give advice to any one going around. he gave advice to only those who sought his advice.
any dogma or belief that needs evangalization is doomed to fail. so
stop doing that if you want your belief to spread. show your belief in
your actions and stop going around spreading hate, discord, division
and strife. spreading hate is not what Jesus said “spread my word”
please try to understand what your christ was trying to telling you.
And finaly leave me and others alone and in peace.

P S.
But I did not sign it budhoose
I can only pity that person.' he gets no peace of mind. poor chap.

Budhoose wanted to become a scientist
and invent something important.
Budhoose was inspired by the story of
Madam Curies and her husband Curie.
They had, by their hard work, invented
some new elements and achieved fame.
Budhoose read the biography of those
great scientist and thought
“If they can invent something I too can
do it. It is a matter some hard work.
Surely there must be something to be
invented in this world”
So Budhoose went about learning
how to invent things. He put in hard
work and sleepless nights into research.
At last, after many days and nights of
sleepless toil he discovered something new.
He had spend so much money on the
research that he was left with very
little of it for himself. But he achieved
his life”s ambition.
At last it was time for him to name it.
After much thought and consideration
he named it Antimoney.
“But, Budhoose! They have already
named something as Antimony”
“What sort of scientists are you people?
Don”t you look at the spelling? The new
thing is Antimoney and not antimony.
Open your eyes and see”
Budhoose scolded them.
“We are very sorry, Budhoose! We never
realized that you are such a great a scientist.
Now we see your point. But why did you
call it by such an exotic name?”
the lesser mortals in his laboratory asked him.
Budhoose cleared his throat and asked them
“What is antimatter? Surely you know that!”
“Don”t we know it? After all you are
the one who taught us those things.
It annihilates matter when it comes
in contact with any matter”
they said in unison.
“When this stuff came in contact
with my money all the money disappeared.
Annihilated without a trace!
So what else shall we call it?”

Love your job but don”t love your Company
because you may not know
when your company stops loving you.

Are human beings at an evolutionary dead end?
Or will Homo sapience evolve into a
better species, a better Homo scientificus?

A million years from now what will
be the state of the human
evolution? Will we emerge as the intelligent,
thinking being that we
think we would be or will we
Homo sapience be destroyed by the
reverse selection bias
(which is our own creation)
which favours the invalid
and the and unable?

My wife and I went shopping in the city.
We went to many textile shops, but did not
buy anything. Nothing was good enough.
She wanted to look up some more shops.
Looking for more shops we soon reached
the intersection where the street ended.

Once Budhoose thought of
becoming a medical laboratory technician.
So he spent a few days in a lab and
called himself a lab technician.

“Oh, absolutely”
Budhoose reassured him and collected the money.
