(Acci)Dentally Yours (or How Dentistritis Can Leave You Toothless!)

(Acci)Dentally Yours (or How Dentistritis Can Leave You Toothless!)

So you have a painful decaying tooth. You go to a professional to deal with the problem. The professional pulls out the bad tooth. For cosmetic and other reasons the professional advises you to go for a cap to cover the empty space. You agree. The professional cuts the two good teeth on either side of the space and tapers them...in order to fit the cap. So now you look smart with a gold or silver cap shining in your smile.
In course of time mouth and food liquids enter the cap and the two cut teeth get infected and disintegrate. So the professional pulls them out. Now you have a three-tooth space that needs capping.
And you keep consulting the professional and that process goes on. Yes...till you have no more teeth to cap. So the professional equips you with dentures. 
And then...having hit the jackpot as far as your dental care is concerned, the professional has no more interest in you. The party is over!
So what do you do?
Nothing. Just keep your dentures clean.
So sorry!
Next patient, please!

Your Dance Time: From Jitterbug to Twitterbug!

Your Dance Time: From Jitterbug to Twitterbug!

In the 1940s a popular dance was the jitterbug. Today, among the world's most popular is the twitterbug. It can be danced by anyone. Anywhere. Anytime. No partners needed. It can turn fact into fiction, fiction into fact. It can turn honesty into dishonesty and dishonesty into honesty.
So that's dancing the twitterbug? Good God!  What have we come to? Where's our world of ideals?

New International Survey of Human Traits



New International Survey of Human Traits 

 I'm proposing a unique international survey of traits.
1. Do the inclinations to show-off, practice malice (for no material gain, but for the sheer joy of seeing someone embarrassed or distressed, without ever thinking: What if someone did that to me?) - and cheat tend to go together?
2. And if they do, is the combined expertise any less common in the 'highly developed' countries?
3. Will the results be funny? Slightly funny?

Or totally Un-funny?

World's Most Ignored Ideal of Human Relationships

World's Most Ignored Ideal of Human Relationships

Time again to recall the wisdom man has most ignored. The noblest souls who walked this earth have, by word and deed, endorsed the idea for man's progress to the heights of civilization. A dictum that, despite the many centuries gone, remains un-learnt. It's very simple.
DO UNTO OTHERS, AS YOU WOULD HAVE OTHERS DO UNTO YOU.
Of course, around the world, even in the most developed countries, people who are highly impressed by themselves do unto themselves what they wouldn't do for anyone else! Yup! For them: Doing good to others is such a ruddy waste of time!

Our World Today in Disarray (2): In Reverse Gear?

Having fought World Wars and innumerable smaller wars for justice, fair play and the ideals of Humanity, is it becoming a world practicing and propagating ideas however unfair and petty as long as they benefit oneself? Despite all the great advances in science and technology is it becoming a self-centered and self-promoting world, going backward, ignoring the Civilized Values that can unite the peoples living on this one earth we share?

Most Hummed Hindi Film Song...in Memory Time!

In my memory no other film song has equaled its popularity. On the streets of Bombay young and old were humming or whistling the song. Alms seekers in the suburban trains were singing it. For months! The song was from the Dilip Kumar starring movie Daag. And the song was:

Aye mere dil kahin aur chal!
Gam ki duniya se dil bhar gaya.
Dhoond le ab koi ghar naya.
Aye mere dil kahin aur chal!

Brief Rough Translation:
My heart, let's go away from this world of sorrow.
Let's find some other home. 
My heart, let's go away from this world of sorrow.

Rainy, Rainier Days ...in Funny California?!!

Isn't it funny?
As though in response to withdrawal from the Climate Treaty, it seems the Sun is protesting...by withdrawing for days from Sunny California!
Or is it amazing?
