Things aren't as always as they appear to be. I'll give a classic example. I have this milkmaid who brings milk in Pepsi and coke bottles. On further observation, I noticed that some of the bottles had seen better days in early 90's. So I started switching old bottles with new ones and when I'm too lazy( read it as mostly), 'll just add my new bottle to its wasted great-grandad. I was feeling rather good about myself about- getting rid of plastic (wrt the old extensively hyped "
re-use, reduce"...well, that's an other story) and improving her inventory with factory-fresh bottles.
And what went wrong?
Bottles back stabbed me! She wrote bills counting bottles she collects. I cant blame her for that either, she possibly has to deliver milk to lot of houses. Sigh!
And its not just the world. Its inhabitants too. Like a whole package. I know this guy who used to write song(s) to impress girls who could be his potential girlfriends. It wasn't that hard. If her name is Emily, his song would be-
Her name is Emily-
She smells like lily
You think she's silly
But she's damn wily.
That's the base of his song. Now if its Tina, she smells like petunia. I cant wait till he meets a girl who's suffix rhymes with rafflesia. Ha! I dedicate this small verse to the poet.
My name is idiot
I screwed up trying to be Eliot
And I have this friend of mine who signed up for 3 months course in a gym. Everything went fine until one day, one of the weights he was trying lift decided to take a break and rest on his neck. Okay, that hurts. I can tell. Now my friend? He found calling his gym instructor too embarrassing and he just sat there, with a dumbbell on his neck. It would have been something like this, except it wasn't of a grasshopper. And my Photoshop skills aren't that great either. So, there.


And I this is yet another friend who had a train to catch at 2am. And he thought it would be nice to take a midnight shower in ice-cold water. He got sick, I dunno how sick but its pretty bad. He plays hide and seek with the nurse when she tries to give him shots. And he says, his blood got infected too. His blood group? "B"e positive! Insanity is, indeed an important factor that brings people closer. That could be probably why these people (except our unlucky Eliot) are my best friends. And yes, the world IS mad if there are people out there who is actually reading this!
