Absurd Observations

We all have these absurd realisations and wonder why or may be not wonder at all due to lack of time. Time is something I find myself to have in abundance, though I would have preferred money instead. Human race.. phew !! Never satisfied with what it has. There are some realisations that I have had for last month or so. They are abrupt and with little co-relation.
1. While watching Dr Strangelove, I suddenly realised, we had invented nuclear weapons before we could learn to make a colour movie !!! Its obviously very important to know how to destroy the world.
2. While crossing a one way road, a women will always look both ways for vehicles and if you are driving she will try and cross looking the other way.
3. Its very very important for rural women to have a burkha/ghunghat while crossing a road. The road has been known to have impure thoughts and should not be allowed to view the face and the face should not in any circumstance be naked in front of the road.
4. 60% of the children walking by the road will try and run across the road if you are driving at more than 80 kmph. (the sample size is not statistically significant though)
5. We can divide a state on the basis of language, water, minerals, culture etc ( all necessarily pointing towards the politicians pockets). We can even divide it on the basis of a person not eating ( as far a public view is concerned). We will never divide it on the basis of better administration.
6. Never play loud music in the car with a bunch of people. You will never be able to tell who leaked the deadly poisonous gas you have been struggling not to inhale.
7. The bomb can only and only be diffused if it has only one second to go. Whatever wire you cut at time is the one required to diffuse the bomb.
8. Hollywood makes equal if not more shitty movies compared to Bollywood. If you want to respect them you can call them technical bullshit.
9. The beautiful girl who walks into your compartment on the train will always be there so see someone off.
10. No matter how much drink you buy, you are always one peg short.
11. No commercial is complete till it has a female in it.
12. If a girl says "No", the guys hears "May be" if she says a stern "No" he hears " Probably Later".
13. No one knows what Sensex is, but everyone is excited about it.
14. We Indians have heros in people who never won. Maharana Pratap, Puru, Shivaji, Laxmi Bai, Prithvi Raj etc etc.. We abhor achievement and hate people who reach the top. (This is my personal opinion and hello .. I am entitled to have one)
15. We are a democracy. We are intelligent enough to elect a government. Just not smart enough to know what to read, which movie to watch, when to drink, what to do in public etc etc.. Well considering the kind of people we elect, this does seem to be a logical conclusion. My only point is ban us form voting as well. Pleaaaaaaaseeeeee...
