Cooking Romance

2011-08-18T21:00:00.001-04:00

Cooking is one romantic event, if done with right person.

If you agree with me, well then, Helo to you!

If you dont, then read further.

...just the apron she wears; the sweet teases she makes;
the hug from behind; the kiss on the neck;
the eating together; the eating each other;
the fruit bites; the honey;
And then there is desserts...

Helo to you!!

Girl Story

2011-07-18T21:00:00.002-04:00

Girls! They are amazing yet so complicated.

I wish they are simple. I wish atleast they talk what they think, right away!

If you go out with a girl for a month and not sure if she is into you, ask her these questions.

1. What soap do you use?
2. What clothes do you wear in the night?

If she doesnt answer or trying to avoid, she is definitely not into you.
If she answers one after a lot of thinking, she is most probably in a dilemma zone.
If she answers without thinking, well, she is a keeper.

Somehow these two topics are so intimate, they dont talk about it to everyone but it does reflect their thoughts. People from Mars would probably never understand why. But hey, it worked for me.

Kite Love

2011-06-12T21:00:00.004-04:00

I spent hours and made great looking kites earlier. They did fly high and high but when they get cut loose and fly at wind's will, it hurts to see them go. I have travelled miles in my bicycle just to get them back. Sometimes I got them. Sometimes I didnt.

So later I decided to make simple ones. The ones that just fly high! The ones that never made people watching it say, wow!

Strangely, they always flew at my will, there-after. I wonder why!

What the heck is this Girl thinking?

2010-09-19T22:29:00.003-04:00

Man - Do you want to work after marriage?
His Fiancee - If i had to.

He was expecting an Yes or No. Her answer is complicated. He is confused.

I was curious what her answer mean. Her preference is clear. She doesnt want to work after marriage. Obviously she doesnt know his choice yet so maybe thats why her answer is not straight-forward. Maybe she doesnt want to be on the other side.

Or maybe she is so thoughtful about the future, if the economy needs, she is willing to work, inspite of her preference.

Interesting! What do you think? Is this girl good to get married? I think she is a good bet. But hey, am just a curious observer.

Arizona Immigration Law

2010-05-03T21:00:00.003-04:00

Illegal Immigration many times link to drugs, human trafficking and crime.

Is showing the documents to the Officer so difficult compare to dealing with drug abuse or crime? I am curious why so many people are against it.

Three things are clear

1. State did get the attention of Federal.
2. Many people think the law enforcement officers are racists.
3. Illegal immigrants are much more across the country when compared to people who think they will be victim of racial discrimination.

One Tough Job

2010-05-02T21:00:00.002-04:00

Being a President!

Things didnt happen overnight. It took years.

All of us are responsible. One way or other.

Yet, we want everything to be fixed, just like that, by the government.

Economy, Unemployment, Terrorism, Health Care, Banks and Automobiles Bail-out, Energy, Environment - thats just top seven.

Everything needs money. But, Tax should not be increased, Health Care should be free, Retirement Money should be safe and Nasa missions should be kept going and no borrowing from others either. Where would the money come from?

And then there is politics!

I think, atleast, He should be given some time.

What Up With Hoax Emails

2010-03-29T21:00:00.002-04:00

I keep getting this hoax emails, asking me to forward it to people for many reasons. To get lucky, to help a dying cancer patient, to get money from Bill Gates, to get Nokia phone for free and various others.

I was curious why someone would create such an email. Particularly, when they dont get any tangible benefits like a spam. I couldnt think of any special reason. Maybe just to show-off, for cheap thrill or nothing else to do. But am sure, whoever does it, got to be a weirdo.

Anyway, since there is no specific reason why people do it, its hard to keep them down. But atleast we can stop forwarding such emails to our friends.

Few thoughts...

1. Emails forwarded cannot be tracked just like that. If someone does then it means they hacked your email account.

2. Why would people give away their hard-earned money to us just for sending emails?

3. If someone wants to help a dying person, why would they wait till we all send enough emails?

4. Nobody is giving things for free.

A Religious Quest

2010-03-28T21:00:00.002-04:00

The other day I was talking to a colegue who is a follower of a religion that is followed by world's 1/3 of population, Islam.

Of many topics we were talking, he mentioned about how divorce system works in the religion. I learnt that, in this religion, if a man wants to re-marry his ex-wife, he cant do it easily. The wife has to re-marry someone else first, get divorced again to marry her previous husband.

I was curious. Typically, if a couple has kids, wouldnt it be good if they re-marry inspite of the divorce? Maybe they realized late, maybe they realized because they are apart. Why is this made too hard?

I was extra curious, when he said that, if the divorced man wants to re-marry another woman, thats easy.

I was super curious, when he also said that this is a rule deviced by God.

Maybe thats his faith. Its ok.

Apparantly I learnt that this religion supports polygamy to reduce adultery and prostitution. As part of that, the man by re-marrying is actually helping the society. So that atleast sounds ok.

However, the original question as to why re-marrying the same woman is made too hard is still unknown. Any help?

Love Tip

2010-03-07T21:00:00.002-05:00

Here is a trick/tip you can use to keep your love relationship healthy. Indeed, this can be used for any relationships.

Its simple. Yet, you have to watch and do it at right time to get it work for you.

There are these feelings that a couple should feel together. Like, feeling loved, feeling cared, feeling wanted, romance, sex and many similar. If one feels it and the other doesnt, it doesnt help. Sometimes, it may even hurt. But, if both feels it at the same time, together, then the effect is very intense, it makes the relationship more intimate, deep and strong. Try and make situations to feel them together.

Similarly, there are yet other feelings that a couple should never feel together. Like, anger, disappointment, sadness, even tiredness. If one feels these, the other should be there to support and cheer. If both feels them together, depending upon the type of feeling, the effect can even be devastating to the relationship, atleast at long term.

There you go! You got it. So, next time your wife gets mad and angry on you, just listen or leave her alone so she can cool down. Dont get your anger up, even if you are not at fault. You can explain your position once she is cool. Not only will the things clear-up quickly but the after-effect will be much more plesant and rewarding too.

Bones Show - Well, Bones Tv Show

2010-03-06T21:00:00.002-05:00

I adventitiously watched Bones Tv Show one day and liked it for its anthropological way of crime detection. Something unique from other crime detection series. I should admit, I am more curious on anthrology now, after watching this.

Brennan, Booth, Sweets, Camile, Angela, Hodgins are some of the characters.

Brennan (played by Emily) is the anthropologist. She is awesome with her work. There is this scene where a deadbody is lying in the forest and rodents (or, like animal) are feeding on it and Brennan just walks in, catches the rodent by its tail and pulls it up. Well, this maybe a casual thing for a typical forensic anthropologist but definitely not for an actor. Emily just lives like Brennan.

Booth, the FBI guy, and Brennan are partners to detect the crime. He is good too. You know, after 4 or 5 episodes I thought it would be nice if they got married. The scenes suggest the same too. Although, now-a-days, i think they shouldnt be. Marriage makes things complicated.

Sweets is the psychologist. My interests in psychology makes me listen to him while he is on screen.

Along with many others, I observed this interesting relationship situation in this drama.

Angela and Hodgins. They were about to get married when Angela's ex-husband walks in. Angela never wanted him before until Camile gets physical with him. Well, thats typical. And this guy is hot, so, even Hodgins gets into a slight mis-trust issue after seeing him with Angela, specifically because he is still around.

Now, maybe both of them didnt realize that they did something that breaks the trust, or maybe both of them did realize, but then, they both, like how good couples think alike, blame on each other for not trusting. How ironic. Finally they break the relationship.

I was curious what Angela and Hodgins could have done to keep the relationship. They could have talk it out. Ask sorry. Talking clears the air. Even though there would be some initial hard-feelings, things would clear-up soon. I think atleast in this scenario it would work because things arent that bad. Its better than lying to each other. Its better than accusing each other for not trusting. Its better than breaking the relationship forever.

I wish all relationships just cherish without any break-up!

Incase you like to watch, Bones is played on TNT, everyday at 7PM and on Fox, Thursdays at 8PM.

Myth Buster - 7 People in the World Look Alike

2010-02-24T20:50:00.001-05:00

7 People in the World Look Alike!

I have heard people saying this. I was curious if thats even posible and wanted to know more about it.

After so much of thoughts, this is what I came up with.

Everyone thinks "look alike" means appearance wise. I also started with that thought and end-up nowhere.

Apparently, its not the appearance. Its the character.

Each second, there are 4 births around the World. That is the current (2009) statistics. Long back it could have been 7 and it came down because of birth controls. Now, 4/7 births per second means 4/7 babies are born at exact, 2010-02-24 10:10:57, time. Which means, per Astrology, they should be having same characters.

I am convinced. Although, from now on its "4 People in the World Look Alike!".

Developer Tester Cold War Fix

2010-02-23T22:30:00.003-05:00

Whats up with Developers and Testers? They always fight. Well, not physically but atleast verbally. Most of the times, there is something going on between these two important entities of software engineering.

Nobody likes it when someone complaints about our work. More specifically, when we spend hours, days and months of serious coding and someone just walks in and finds fault in our work, we definitely not gonna like it. Makes sense from Developers point of view.

Well, if our job is aligned with finding fault, we ought to do it. Aint we? Makes sense too, from Testers point of view.

If both side make sense, i was curious, if there is any solution at all to quell this cold war.

I spoke to a bunch of Developers and Testers. This is what I learnt.

Developers unanimously agreed that they will fix it if their work has defect, no matter who finds it. But, the notion that, someone just walks in and finds fault, is what they couldnt take. They feel like they are being dominated by someone who is not suppose to do it. They reject this domination. Eventually it looks like they are rejecting the work of the Tester. Testers react. And the war starts,...

Teens react similar way when Parents stop them from doing things. Married women react similar way when their monther-in-laws complain. There could be other similar situations. Maybe because of all these experiences, the thought of rejection stayed in our mind and reflects whenever someone dominates us or finds fault.

So what is the solution?

When our friends ask us not to do something, the same thing that our Parents or MIL asked us, most of the times, we acquiesce. We feel at same level with friends which overides the domination effect. So, can we ask Developers and Testers to be friends? Thats very hard to expect. But, if somehow they feel at same level, there is high chance to overlook this problem.

How about ASKing instead of TELLing?

If a webpage loads with error, the Tester can inform the Developer about this defect in two ways
1. "Webpage loads with error. This is not the expected result." - The war way,...
2. "Webpage loads with error. Is this how it is suppose to work?" - The cool way,...

The second option is better because the ball is in Developer's court. Its not a complaint, its a question, unless the Developer answers it. Since Tester waits on Developer's answer, which will never be answered, the Developer doesnt feel dominated. Yet all, the message that there is a defect is delivered!

I tried it through people I know. It works like a champ. I am convinced.

I think this can be used in our daily life too. In some case it maybe obvious if we ask instead of tell but most case it would work.

Next time, if your wife chars the bread while toasting, how about ASKing, "Honey, the bread is charred. Is this one of your new recipe?" Most wives will atleast be careful next time. But watch-out, some may make charred bread the routine since you agreed upon. Well, there is exception in everything!

Astrology. Accuracy.

2010-02-17T21:00:00.000-05:00

Astrology is a science which tells the future of a person, including his/her character based on the birth date, to the level of seconds. That is something like 2010-02-17 20:38:57. How many of us know our date till the seconds? Till minutes atleast? How many of us are 100% sure that it is accurate?

Like any other science, precise data is the key for astrology. If we give precise input, we will get precise output. If we give less precise input, we will get less precise output. If we give false input, we will only get false output.

If you search "America" in maps.google.com, you wont see your house. Dont blame google for that. The results are based on your input.

Try "NY, America".
Try, "New York, NY, America".
Try, "5th Ave, New York, NY, America".
How about "611, 5th Ave, New York, NY, America"? Dont you see the building?

The precise the input the accurate the output. Astrology works the same.

To prove astrology we would have to conduct a lonng experiment, for about atleast 16 years, starting from the birth of the subject. Maybe thats why no one tried it.

Even astrologers are losing their expertise. It is getting lost in the old generation. Thats why we see less proficient, so called astrologers, these days. Lets not decide anything about Astrology by experimenting with them.

Astrologers maybe false but Astrology is not. Just because we couldnt explain something, Just because we couldnt understand how something works, doesnt mean its not true. Its like lizards claiming that gravity doesnt exist, they aint gonna understand it, ever. Its beyond them.

Astrology may even explain many un-discovered truths that science is yet to realize, if only we, atleast, try to understand it.

Men Vs Women - A Cultural Anthropology Answers for Human Behaviour Difference

2010-02-16T21:00:00.003-05:00

Men Vs Women. They are different, equal yes, yet different. I was curious why there are so many behaviour differences, given the fact that both men and women evolved from same environmental conditions.

A behaviour is caused when people repetitively do an action, over a course of time. Here are the pictures of two different actions which was practiced, over millions of years, by ancient human-beings for same reason, food!

Men went for hunting animals while Women gathered fruits and nuts. While I am equally curious about why they chose it that way, lets assume it for now and analyse this anthropological set-up. We can observe number of human behaviour differences in Men and Women caused by this cultural setting.

Difference in Eating Habits - Women are fond of eating small frequent meals which is obvious in fruit picking setup. Just throw-in one or two that you pick, in frequent intervals. Men, on the other hand, are fond of feasting. Obviously, in hunting set-up, you cant eat then and there, got to watch for animals to kill and animals that can kill. So, one big meal at end of the day was a good option. Moreover, hunting is more like a victory action so a party following the victory is inevitable.

We all know how good fruits are for our health and weight watchers claim that small frequent meals does help weight-reduction in good way and hence enhances healthiness. That gives one more reason why Women lived longer and why Men like parties.

Although, things have changed a lot these days that not many, neither eat fruits nor eat small frequent meals and everyone likes to party equally.

Talking and Communication Habits - Women like talking. Well, while picking fruits, with many people around, talking is inevitable. isnt? But, thats not the case while hunting. Looks like Men didnt have much choice.

Women can participate actively in a conversation between five girls who are discussing as many as three subjects at once. Men can follow multiple sports at once.

Difference in Problem Solving Skills - Women share and discuss their problems with others. By sharing they can leverage the experience of the other person which indeed will help solve problems quick and easy. It makes sense to do that, specifically in fruit picking set-up with many people around and available for sharing.

Again, Men didnt have much choice, hunting was not so amiable for talking and hence for sharing. So, they chose to solve it by themselves. They did do well.

Emotional Vs Power - Men obviously needed power to bring a fierce animal down. With more talking and sharing in fruit picking, emotion had an upper hand over power.

Difference in Memory Skills - Women remember things based on emotional connections. Again, fruit picking set-up enhances talking and sharing which inturn provides more emotional connections. As hunting involves strategy, Men remember things based on strategy.

These behaviour differences are some of them, there could be many others. Some of these may not be applicable in current social set-up. Some of these are never discoverd in the vision of equality.

Yet, i am convinced that cultural setups like these could be one of the cause for the behaviour differences in Men and Women.

So, next time when you see a Man trying to solve his problem all by himself or when you see a Woman talking 3 different things while doing 4 other things, Blame Our Ancestors!
