No one in his wildest imagination wld have thought it possible to bring these together on the same stage!!!
The unnamed genius did it by the trick of, as in any successful relationship, focusing on the common grounds than differences 🙂 He did uncover a few not-so-obvious ….

They call it a symbiotic relationship – the spider gets its food and the Oryx is free from bothersome mosquitoes!
I call it working from home 🙂

World, A Matter Of Perspectives?

Some more real than others.
Recently received this gem, rarer than a Penny Black, innocuously wedged in the middle of two dozen other kadi jokes (kinder than PJ).
With all that pre-amble, its simply a picture:
The fellow on his third was peering at this picture from a magazine carelessly left behind.
“Strange…we are living among very strange people, I say,” he mumbled.
His mate sitting across looked up to say ‘Eh’ silently.
“Look at this,” pointing to the picture, he slid the magazine to the other fellow.
His mate pulled it to his side and looked at the picture. And, looked at it hard.
Again a ‘Eh’ on his face.
“Don’t you see it?”
“I see it alright. But what is it I don’t see?”
“Can’t you see…they engage two cars to carry a piece of rope!!”
“Ah, now that you say….”

One day God decided to visit the earth and try some alcohol.
So he changed his dress & went to a bar and asked the bartender: What all do you have..??
Bartender: We have Whisky, Rum, Vodka, Gin, Beer, etc. etc.
God: Let’s try Whisky first. Give me a bottle of whisky.
After having had a full bottle of Whisky, God decided to try Rum.
Bartender was shocked, who is this man..?? After having a bottle of Whisky, he is still on his feet.
After a bottle of Rum, God decided to have beer.
After another 4 bottles, this time, of beer, he asked the bartender for Gin.
Bartender couldn’t stop himself asking him:
“Sir, who are you..?? I’ve seen people getting drunk after having 4 pegs of whisky and you’ve almost had 6 bottles of different kinds of alcohol and you are still on your feet!! Who are you..??”
God: “I am God.”
Bartender: *अब चढ़ी* (Ah, now you’re talking!)

We Does It! Every time.

How did they come up with such an odd name for their show?
Known to only a very few, here’s the story, remarkable for its out-of-the-box thinking. Not very long to stretch your indulgence:
*
It was a Saturday.
Regardless, they had gathered to brainstorm over a tagline – something that can make all the difference – for their start-up in logistics.
After considering several, they converged on: ‘We Deliver Today!’. It did convey impressively a sense of speed, urgency…like no one else did.
They felt good about it.
With no images at all, only simple text, the Agency turned it around overnight.
The painters were called in and instructed.
On Monday morning, the fleet of mini-vans were ready to be rolled out with tagline prominently stenciled on the sides. The deadline was licked. And the world…it’ll never be the same!
When they vehicles emerged from their overnight parking…Oh sh##, it read ‘We Delivers Today!’ On everyone of them.
Obviously, a junior staff present on Sunday – not one to quibble too much over number, tense and gender – had approved the Agency copy. How could they…rank carelessness☹
They got into a huddle. What do they do now? Get it redone for their entire fleet, small no doubt?
One of them came up with: ‘Why don’t we let it go as is…companies in the past have profitably used the technique. Errors and Omissions get more ‘hits’ than the staid and grammatically correct.’
Well, why not? They liked the thought. May not set off quakes, it would certainly cause ripples… heads were sure to turn. The more they thought about it, it seemed they had landed a kind of winner by sheer accident.
Their relief was short-lived; for among them, as it usually happens’, there was one carrying a ‘wet blanket’ for the occasion. He averred the goof-up was a clear statement and a revelation of their sloppiness in execution, an inexcusable sin in the business they were in.
It had looked so good. Now, this…such a shame to give up. They were back to square one.
Until another among them – you know start-up’s are never short on brilliance – suggested…they could, to use a cliché, have the cake and eat it too.

That’s how their as-yet-unnamed org was christened as ‘We’!

PS: The day before we were caught up in a traffic mess, vehicles backing up for miles from Seepz all the way to LBS Marg, thanks to the metro project. Before hitting L &T, idly looking out, alongside was a van carrying ‘We Deliver Today’ emblazoned on its side. I let my mind muse over it and…entirely fiction.

The Science And Art Of A Peeled Orange!
October 24, 2021 2 Comments
The question raised in a forum and some responses it triggered:
From others:
Obviously, its bright orange peel is like the sun, always raising. When you remove the peel, it looks like the moon and sets. I think Plato wrote a paper on this.
The skin is full of tiny pockets of air and oils, which make the orange more buoyant. The oils repel water, and the air in the pockets is less dense than water. Without the skin, the orange loses buoyancy because it’s just densely packed fluid-filled cells and the solid matter of the pulp.
Think of the peeling as bubble wrap and the orange as a balloon filled with water
Oranges have tiny arm like appendages called cilia with which they swim. Removing the skin removes its arms and the orange can no longer tread water.
The pith in the peel holds a lot of air. Reasoning says an orange with a peel will float
The peel is like a little submarine protecting the sailor orange segments and they are breathing the air in the submarine. Now they are all drowning when you take away the submarine and air. That’s my answer. Like it or not. 🤦🏻♀️😅 Don’t ask me to explain it. That’s how I’d explain it to my 5-year-old.
I need therapy after this post and its entire thread. I’m broken
For the same reason a ship will sink when you remove the hull.
You’d sink too if someone peeled your skin off.
Oh…so that’s how you know the difference between peeled and unpeeled…
Same reason women float and men sink.
The orange peel has natural anti-gravity properties.
You’ve removed its life-jacket!
