Laughter angle - Part 2

Some snippets:-

- The other day we were laughing our tears out to a witty cracker. A studious guy who heard the joke gave a wide grin for a second and then contorted the smile by crushing his cheeks between the teeth. When asked about the reason for this evasive measure , he said " Those who laugh harder will cry even harder" , a crap statement in its own front. Rest of the day we guffawed for no reason, tickled him every time and got some dirty looks .

- Last week a software company conducted a off- campus interview in our college which attracted 1200 students from 10 colleges around Vijayawada. The selection took place across 3 days and only 16 were shortlisted for the final H.R interview. After the final round they left without declaring the result. Here raised the eyebrows - if none from 1200 (not all are futile) was palatable , its intriguing to know the standard of their employees. May be all Einsteins and Newtons in the world are working over there , defying logics of sort ' why apple fall on ground' . One would be forced to think whether they are selecting a high-tech coolie or a coach to TeamIndia. If not on Earth ,lets hope someone from Jupiter will fulfill their requirements.

- Our 2-2 result was out and my score in maths was displayed as 15( out of 70) , kick starting traumatic phase. I used to wipe for the unconquered 10 when I scored a 90 in maths during my school. But with age your priorities change and after wading through all the tests since my childhood , I no longer has fire in the belly to perform in these endless exams but there's no let-up in getting less than 25% in maths. So, I thought of doing an Alok in Five point someone but couldn't find a ten storey building around and eventually deferred the act. ( I was so fond of this book that, along with other reasons, the 3 characters in the story really inspired me to screw my marks and that's where a loser gets his inspiration from - other losers.)

Though these results depict the hard work and discipline of a person, there is much more in this world which is going unnoticed. I would rate a zealot who stood in the queue from the day before to catch Sahankar dada zindabad on first day much higher than the aggressor who scored a 80%. Despite the fact that reaping an 80 involves months of hardship , the manner in which they both went about their efforts is strikingly different. Whereas the hero-adulation is self-less and draws nothing in return, we adore books only to gain knowledge and earn moolah. A dictum in the holy 'Gita' states - commit yourself to the task without expecting the outcome. So, of these two, who will go to heaven?

- This Monday will mark the end of our assignments and recalling our MoU , both of us violated one or the other rule but the legal drawback is that there is no witness to this MoU. So, the case cannot hold its ground in the court and we left each other without filing suit.
