@ the rate of Thought

Calvin: Sometimes when I’m talking my words can’t keep pace with my thought. I wonder why we think faster than we can speak!
Hobbes: Probably so we can think twice.

A Bill Waterson gem! :)

Not so much the philosophy, but at least the first part is intriguing. This is a situation almost everybody find themselves in. A minute of silence is all is needed to have thousand conversations with self. Most of which is crazy I must say. I tried to capture my line of thinking and found them pretty crazy.

Situ 1: Attended a marriage of a friend. Not many mutual friends, so..

God, I hate weddings..They should ban weddings.. Why would so many ppl sit around looking at each other.. I wonder what they are all thinking.. Hmmm, that box looks big, wonder whats in it.. What if they open to find the box empty.. grin.. must try it out once in some party.. Hey where have I seen that girl!.. can’t be company, not so many pretty girls.. of course there is [beep] but again too few.. I haven’t seen [beep] in some time now.. aah..[beep] .. real pretty.. wait, this girl, where have I seen.. must be one of those dejavu moments.. dejavu.. he he.. dejavu dejavu.. scrubs.. I hope the food is good.. heard gujju food is generally good.. what was that dish – Kadhi? Hope they give that.. It was delicious.. Hey where did that pretty girl go!!

All this while waiting in line to go wish the couple :)

Situ 2: Riding the bike after some heavy philosophical discussion on future

I wonder how it would turn out.. I wonder what future holds for me.. interesting image, a blind beggar with a board around his neck that reads future.. holds out to everyone the bowl for charity, but ppl are just too busy to notice! Wow.. what a philo.. hey, wait! Isn’t phile means love? So whats the root word of philosophy? Wonder if it’s the same phile. whats sophy.. definitely not that MTV female.. yew, irritating! Sophie loving ppl need to be termed classphobes or something.. ah, future - everything happens for a reason.. mostly good.. what all have reinstated my beleief? Why go so long ago, today morning coffee was delayed thanks to %^&%. But see what happened! Bumped into [beep].. aah..[beep] .. grin.. this should irritate someone.. he he.. wonder why I love irritating a few select ppl..

A 2 min drive from shop to office.

Situ 3: Weekly tracking meeting

What a boring meeting.. I hope they don’t ask me anything.. I hate explaining what I did.. I should have been an executioner! Very easy to explain the job.. wonder if executioners are given monthly targets.. damn, I’d hate to be around an executioner just before his appraisal discussion.. why is everyone laughing? God, I missed the joke.. who cares, just laugh.. I wonder if just nodding at the right times is sufficient.. no, too risky.. the direction of nod could commit you to something you don’t want.. hey look, a bunch of network cables.. Looks like they plan to use multiple laptops at a same time.. hey wait, if I could hold them together and take a photo I can email it saying “A communication engineer’s valentine gift”.. he he.. wait for the meeting to end to take the photo.. will come in handy later.. I must wipe that grin off my face.. focus.. Is someone calling my name?
“Ya, I was just trying to recollect the Par classification..”

nice save! must stop watching Scrubs!!
