Conversation between a mom and a child after a day at school goes like this....

M: Did you show the poster to the teachers?
C: No, I forgot.
M: How can you forget something that we spent a lot of time doing last night?
C: Well, i just forgot.
M: Do you know- only old people forget things that happened so recently? Are you old?
C: No, i m N.E.W
M:What?
C: I am not Old, I m NEW.

M rolls her eyes and chuckles.

Misleading piece of furniture

It is interesting to think about how the silliest of things go unnoticed by homo-sapiens. The “eat-out’ in my office is one of the quickly-filled spots during the noon hours between 12 - 2. Due to the scarcity of seats( which are essential in order to sit and have food comfortably and also do the most important task of Time Pass ), me and my gang decided to go at 12:30 instead of our usual 1:30. We were bewildered to find the same amount of crowd, which made us realize that, everyone in the building, chose to come a little earlier hoping to find a peaceful place to feed themselves. Well, we did not get lucky in our venture, but then something ironical hit me while we were busy with the mechanical effort of feeding food into our body. Every human in the building were entering the canteen from one door and to my surprise the door was labeled “ EXIT ”. It was funny realizing that no one, including me, never managed to notice the purpose of the door which we normally pass through. Come t...

Do you love inspiring stories?  I do and I love sharing them with my immediate circle, when I come across one. I heard this story while listening to a podcast of one of my favorite motivational speakers, Jay Shetty. It was told by one of the guests on his show, Jim Kwik, who is an expert in speed-reading, memory improvement, brain performance and accelerated learning.

The operations manager then decided to seek outside help and called a local technician, who said it was great timing as he was just around the corner.  He came in and checked a few electric boards. He identified one particular board to work on, opened it and in a couple of minutes, found a screw and turned it. Like a miracle, the power plant came back on and everyone cheered. The manager was thrilled to see the is...

Vienna- The capital city with a unique charm.

Very similar to Germany, but more of a young population. The native language is german and that is what is widely spoken in shops, public transport and the streets. Very pretty and well maintained architecture and buildings, following the Gothic style. 1. Wien is the traditional name for Vienna. Wein is wine in german. 2. We went to an interesting beer place called Mel's craft beer, that had 400 kinds of beer. The place was super busy in the night and it was very difficult to get hold of the waitresses. 3. You can drink tap water in Vienna. Well, in the whole of Austria for that matter. 4. All shops remain closed on Sundays, as it is considered a family day. Everyone gets their shopping done on Saturdays or weekdays. 5. Well planned city with great connectivity. You will find trams running even in small streets. Other modes of transport include Metro, Bus, Autobahn and Ubahn. 6. You can get a glimpse of the Danube river, which is the longest river in Europe and flows thro...
