OK..so the last post turned out to be more sombre than i expected and that's not really me...so hopefully I hope to be back to form with this one..
So when I'm really jobless, my mind starts wandering..and I often get the craziest of doubts...so here are some of them..lets see how many can get answered :)
1)While I'm a complete believer in destiny and "It's all fate", I would also like to believe that somewhere along the line we make our own destiny. But I often wonder whether God is privy to knowing how all our lives will ultimately pan out from start to end..and so while we may believe that the decisions we make and our subsequent actions is us making our own destiny, is it actually part of a pre determined script?
2)Someone once told me that the colour of a person's elbow is similar to the colour of his /her genital area (for lack of a decent way of sayin it :P)I dont have a large enough sample size to confirm / reject this hypothesis! :)
3)This is a 2 part question directed to only men!
a) WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH UR FASCINATION WITH BOOBS...How can one derive pleasure / get excited from just lookin at it...they're just lumps of flesh which unfortunately have to be placed in a (sometimes uncomfortable) harness!!!! I want to shoot the bastard who ever invented underwire!!!!
b)In one of the earlier episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S - the distance between the thumb and index finger of a guy;s left hand was supposed to be indicative of the length of his shaft / tool / dumb stick (i have more choice words..but we'll save that for a later post)..Anycase...Umm..is it true..I have an even smaller sample size for this one than i do for the elbow colour patch :)
4) Have you seen those high rise cranes...The ones which are used at construction sites and are towering and are often more than 20 storeys long...ummm...how do they transport them around?? Or is the crane constructed on site??
5)Why do people rely soooo much on horoscopes..While I accept there may be some truth to it..The time of birth of one's life cannot decide his / her future..Wat if the clock in the hospital where the person was born was 5mts late or 10 mts early. Or worse still, the nurse forgot to document the time..and then..to cover her faux pas just enters some arbid time..So considering horoscope matching is a science - should we make room for human error here?
6)I have heard many meanings for the tamil swear word Baadu. It ranges from bastard, impotent, asshole to even women's titties...ummm...someone kindly explain..
These are just off the top of my head..I shall continue with some more in a later post!!
P.S - How many of u looked at ur elbow more than once?? :)

1. i believe in the script thing. wish i cud bribe someone to get me a better script writer. the recent one is pretty good though.
2. shall check out in the morning :)
3 a. joey points out "women can see breasts anytime they want" as a +Ve for being a woman. i will side with him on that. i think us men can never completely explain the fixation. need ask the scriptwriter i guess.
3b. there is a lot of margin for human error here. pass. :D
4. no idea. i guess they assemble as the prev commenter says..
5. am currently evaluating horoscopes. human error thing will not let me conclude either ways am sure even after i waste hours and years.
6. baadu means bastard (i think). there are several creative variations of the word though.
eeks. this feels like a test in school with all the numbering and sub-numbering (3a,3b? what were u thinking? :D)
if only the dumb stick knew they were just a lump of muscles!
uhm ok
so when u keep saying 'small sample size' - err what exactly are you referrin to??!!??!!!
T.S eliot wrote "destiny lies in the hands of god, shaping the still unshapen"
Shakespeare wrote "as flies are to wanton boys, ar we to the Gods. They kill us for their sport"
The only other memorable quote i can remember is one by Auden "in headaches and in worry, vaguely life leaks away" or something like that)
so don't think too much about this destiny bit - clearly, u can see i've gone half batty with it.
(i mean who on earth remebers THREE quotations at the same time!!)
in any case since u blv in arrnaged marriages and in destiny, i would totally love to be around when u choosing ur prospective groom:
"say, may i pls see ur elbow?"
"good, now can u show me the distance between ur index finger and thumb?"
"{slap} how dare you choose me based on my boobie size!!"
k k, sorry, now u know why i was called the 'station master of one way tracks'
i think the boob fascination is similar to 'penis envy' theory, aparently women envy men and machoness cos they lack penises. so pants n short hair r our way of dealing with it. i guess mister freud was too chicken to write about a boob-envy theory :P
btw, i once saw an auto that had 'mahaboob' written on it. gmphhhh hee hee hee
u know with my horroscope there is full confusion cos i was born in a remote island n back then they had no clue about the exact time conversion n blah. so ya, one can never say :P
about cranes, do watch this video 'believe' by the chemical brothers.
not good in the tamil dept - nothing more
general popsie-ka purposely shows yuck pictures of her frends so that she looks pretty. dont trust her ;)
1)Destiny - very true but try not think too often about it.
2)That's news and like Chitty Cat, I've the same question...what do you mean by sample size?
3)a)Gawd knows and may be men themselves dunno why...
b)Distance btw the thumb and index finger? I thought it was the length of a man's feet.
4)I guess it's constructed on the site.
5)It's an astrological science that sure must have truth to it but I look at it more as a measure taken in desperate times and when one feels helpless. How many of us visit an astrologer when all is hunky dory?
6)Umm not quite sure, I suppose it means'bastard' .
Hands raised for the P.S question :)...And i thought baadu meant impotent...Other questions, pass...
you need to be a man to fathom about his fancies :-) (empthay?? err!)
"Lumps of flesh" .. well they are everywhere in the body (bums I mean) ... but the strategic location, placement, size and tangibility makes all that difference ...
reminds me something akin to your "porno critique" post...
our fascinations never become real though :-(
im lovvvvvvvvving the comments people..keep them comin...
@mosh - i too heard abt the hospital fixing the time of borth thing..sad! and though i dont think id get turned on by a man's ding...umm...im pretty sure i wouldnt stop staring! :P
@theanalog kid - so..did u check it out in the morn?? :P is the hypothesis correct?
@anon - wahhhhhhhhhhh....i really dislike anon comments :(
@chitty - small sample size - i asked very few people...and ur quotes totally went over my head..FYI...I dont need to wait for a prospective groom to check his elbow and distance between his thumb and index finger...i give every guy i meet the full scan ;)
@popsie - i think im gonna research on ur length of a man's feet concept :)
@frissko - aaaahh..finally one person admits it...god bless u :)
@baalu...tangibility?????? lol....care to explain further???
You write a lot of crap...ofcourse I am saying this in a good way. I don't know if I can comment on any of this except to tell you that it is jaathakam time for me too and I have been using my blog to escape from it. How you doing?
1. I believe our lives are 80% what we make of it and 20% is destiny. As long as you put in 100% of your 80%, one should be content. Focus on the 3Ds - determination, dedication and discipline, there's not much you can do with the 4th D (destiny) anyway...
2. Random BS
3a. Boobs make a woman more alluring and perhaps bring out her feminity (word exists?) more ( of course, other factors are key to make her appealing and to bring out her feminity too). Plus, perhaps there's an element of demand/supply. You don't get to see 'em much and hence you crave 'em...? Don't kill me, this one's not well thought out.
3b.Humbug!
4. On site
5. Perhaps the matching process accounts for that error somewhere...?
6. No habla espanol! I thought it meant 'dumbo'
Will you be posting scores of the exam takers?
hilarious!!!
Possible!!! What to do ya? The girls simply don't last long. lol !!! In my defense, I'll like to say that I do better at running than having sex
You make me crack up btw.
Whats your email?
1.Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will. - thus spake Nehru and he spake very well indeed.
2.Hypothesis rejected.
3a.Some folks are drawn to the flower by its color.Others by the fragrance. What only matters is whether it ends up in your breast pocket or behind your ear!
3b.Depends on the situation lady. ur not going to get more out of me on this :)
4. I think they are constructed on site.
5.I've asked similar qs to mom, and got a sympathetic look in reply. Dunno what that means...
6.What's more imp is how you pronounce it, and how fast the other guy's fist is !
No, I'm not answering this extra qs :)
1. It's kinda like my grandma used to say, "only the dead know what a graveyard feels like." Can't answer this question without seeing our own final drafts.
2. Abs not. Much greater correlation between color of one's gums and ....
3. a) Part of it is social/ psychological 'coz it's hidden - back in the day - even in TN, women walked around topless and it didn't cause problems.
b) Haha. Good joke.
4. I've seen one transported via a big, big container lorry with 30+ wheels.
5. Time isn't that important per se in horoscopes. There are rather large windows within a day (+/- couple of hours)
that don't change the outcome.
