Fruits of labour

For the last year or more, I have been feeling like a stone aged man dropped off by a time machine into the year 2783. Almost everyone I know has a Smartphone while I had one which did not even have text prediction. I could just about do texts, so strictly speaking; I must have said that I felt like being from the Bronze Age. I drew maps on pieces of paper, wrote down bus timings, and remembered a dozen birthdays and a few phone numbers. The phone rarely rang.

Trying to assimilate into the new world, I decided to buy a Smartphone. There were other reasons too. I am a believer of science. So when The Big Bang Theory proclaimed that smart is the new sexy, I realised the reason behind my limited success with the ladies and wanted to change it at the earliest.

However, just before I decided so, I also conducted a human experiment to understand masculine psyche at modified levels of blood ph.

After fourteen hours of experimenting, alongside some willing friends, we concluded the following:

1.The fruits of labour are much more sweeter than plain indulgence
2.Failing at something once does not mean one should give up
3.Failing at something twice means its time to give up and move on

Why those were the conclusions is still as mysterious as the origin of universe.

So.

So I decided to set out to do something worthwhile to be eligible for the phone. It was also the time when my sister informed me that she was getting married and I decided to write the GMAT – yet another of my logic defying conclusions.

I told myself that if I get a 700 on my test, I would get myself a phone. I got a 680. I knew I had yet another chance before it was time to move on. This time, I decided to get admission in a business school.

Why business school? I had valid reasons for a change

1.Girls, lot of girls
2.Hyderabadi Biryani for breakfast, lunch and dinner
3.Student discount at Dutch Dinners

The school however concluded that I was an evil influence and so will not take me in. Failure No: 2. So I decided to ditch the idea that the fruits of labour are much more sweater than plain indulgence and ordered myself a phone.

Three months later Rosemary Telesco VI arrived in a little white box.

Thus were also born two more life lessons for 2010

1. Plain indulgence is great
2. Conclusions drawn at modified blood pH levels work best only at modified blood pH levels
