Happiness

One of the most profound questions - what is happiness ? As with most questions, there are no absolute answers I feel. Definition from my book.

Happiness : The feeling when you have nothing else on your mind apart from what you are doing at that instant.  

consistent vs. right

An interesting example at home - I leave the shower switch on after taking a bath. Which means if my wife gets in to get a mug of hot water from the tap, there will be a shower of water on her.
Now it is a bad thing for me to do, but since she is used to it, she always checks if the shower switch is on.
Now one fine day, suppose I remember to switch it off. She will come and figure out that she no longer need to check the swtich everyday

Next day, I am back to my good old ways and she is showered all over again !
So ...

Is it more important to be doing the right thing all the time or to  be consistent ?

Paa - Review

Finally saw Paa last week and was not disappointed. A simple and honest movie with no fanfare. 

The greatest compliment I can give to Amitabh Bacchan in this movie is that I did not see him at all in the entire movie. And when I try to contrast a "common man" in "Rab ne bana di jodi", it is just unbelievable.

Death and Taxes

Nice quote about two of the most discussed topics :)

"But in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." - Benjamin Franklin

your favorite color

The spellings the subject line would definitely indicate that I am using a US dictionary ! 

Irrelevant line to start with, but the question has been asked so often that I did not feel like beginning with it.

I don't know what is my favorite color, but I do know what is NOT. There are two toothbrushes in our tooth brush holder - one is Maroon and another is green.

I always pick up the Maroon one and then say WTF and pick the green one. Start buying different colors of tooth brushes to figure out what is your favorite color ? Art of elimination :)
