My Teacher

He came to class on a Saraswati Pooja day ... and he knew that we all would have come to college just for attendence. Yes, it was a full house, with none of us even with a pen or a paper. He starts a conversation about Topological objects. This led some curious students to ponder deeply, thinking out loud; confusing him quite. Then he talked more and we pondered more; this time everyone. This repeated for quite some while ... and we returned home satisfied for not having wasted our day! The next day, we open our topology text and read the topological theories that we derived on our minds the previous day. WOW I will never ever forget that incident.

PS : Topology is a (Mathematical) subject that deals with sets.

Invitation for an arranged marriage

In abc, US, Jaya and Ranjan invite all their friends for their wedding in India - the friends who saw them going around for 3 years.

Who cleans your house?

Switch on any channel on a weekend. You see a lot of advertisements on cleaning. Woman moping the floor, scrubbing the tub, cleaning the dishes, arranging a cramped closet using 'save-space polithene bags'...advertising a wide range of products from vacuum cleaners, disinfectent to dish scrub! I do not know what the market technique is, but I take it that it is the 'lady' in most houses..."Mama's got the magic of Clorox bleach!" :)

Life is like a day

Fresh and light like the morning;
Heavy as the lunch;
Peaceful like the evening;
Dark as the night.

Busy during the day time;
Restful during the night time.

Is there a tommorow?

Marriage

She got married and left to stay with her husband's family in a far-off-land. She lived with his people in a city that her husband grew up. After some years, she visits her family back in her village...

Ending 1: only wishing if her husband had also come along.

Ending 2: not alone; but with her husband and kids.

Death

Some bid farewell, the rest stay for a while to tell the story.

Not the same!

The kid was good in science, botony in particular. It was an anatomy class. The kid drew a nice cross-section of human heart; with veins, articles and lobes shown with detail; not the same as his, for, his heart had an extra hole.

Be Careful!

A cell rings in the classroom. The teacher says "Please switch off your cell pho..." and there rings her cell phone.

Humorous reply

It's been quite a while that I am in a graduate program. So, I hardly attend any departmental tea, departmental seminars, etc.

But the other day, I wanted to remind myself of the people around me. So, I went to the graduate lounge and saw another graduate student who joined with me in the graduate program. It is hard for me to start a conversation, but he asks me "Hey, How are you?". For this I reply, "Hey, good, How are you?". I don't stop there, but go on ... "are you thinking about graduating (soon)?". He immediately goes : "hmmm, yeah I have been thinking about graduating, it feels good...it will be in a couple of years". WOW, how good I feel now :)
