Yo, Dear Sir!
Choosing salutation phrases, or closing ones for that matter, can be tricky with changing times. While the latter is relatively simpler which just requires bit understanding in knowing the differences, the former can raise several questions to the mind. Is it alright? Does it sound respectable or not? Too formal/informal than required?
Moreover, today social media and other forms of instant communication getting over e-mails, which in turn took over ‘real’ letters, it adds more to the tension. While adding “Dear…” is usually the first and safest strategy, it might always be the best one or even required. In my case, I know the world is too complicated for a single strategy. It depends who I’m writing to.
Why night owls are cleverer and richer than people who rise early
This is a research from 2009 which I came across today via a friend.
It has long been held that the early bird catches the worm. But it is the night owl that lasts the distance, research shows.
It found that late risers tire less quickly than those who make a point of getting up at the crack of dawn.
The study is likely to be embraced by anyone tired of being branded lazy for their love of a lie-in.
Well, being a person of the night myself, I like to associate myself more with bats than owls. Yes, you know now, I’m Batman.
Back to School
I’m not sure, I need to stop time itself and master few stuff 😛
A Friend in Need
YENNA RASCALLA!
Yes, you who revel in South Indian stereotypes. You who believe that we ‘Madrasis’ actually say ‘Yenna Rascalla’ out loud.
Read, and learn.
1. Geography: ‘South’ is a direction; Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu are states. Hubli is in Karnataka, Hooghly in Paschimbanga. Tirupati, Tirunelveli and Thiruvananthapuram are not baaju baaju mein. And Sri Lanka is more than a paddle-boat ride away.
2. Languages: ‘Andu-Gundu-Naaru-Gundu’ may have profound meaning in modern Haryanvi, but is gibberish in Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil and Tulu. ‘South Indian’ is not a language – Tamilians will comprehend Telugu the day Mamtadidi spouts Gujarati. It kills me when you blurt out ‘Illay Illay Po’, and howl, as though what translates to ‘No No Go’ is somehow tremendously funny.
3. Pronunciations: Do not attempt to sing the Malayalam lines from ‘Jiya Jale’. Notice how even Lata Mangeshkar didn’t? Touch the tip…

The last of the Telegraphs
An old friend sent me this telegraph which is the first one I ever got (of course living in 2013 what were the odds?) and actually one of the last ones which will be ever sent in our planet. India was the last country to shut them down (kind of tells you how much people were still outdated here, and this is just one part of technology, let me not get started with people and the rest…) This would make a good exhibit for the future as it’s part of history now. Look at how much we have ‘progressed’ since then!
You, Dinner
Nothing interesting in dinner, usual stuff.

That depends on how tired I’m at the given circumstance, I’d prefer to doze off if I’m not already at it.
