This method of therapy against anger works for most common cases of your daily life and it helps a lot! Instead of becoming nervous with the other person’s behaviour or their actions, you make fun of the situation or what they are saying.

For example, your wife/husband, son, or friend gives you an order demanding many unreasonable things that will require many efforts and time. Instead of becoming nervous with their request, ask them if they want “something else!” This is a known ironic answer but you can improve it by asking if the person wants their absurd demands served in a dish.

Did someone steal your reserved parking spot? Has someone left trash outside the can and causing a stink? Did someone break your favorite cup? Never mind! Let it be. Learn to relax and accept what is happening without losing your temper.

Humor! Make fun of the negative situation. Try to justify what happened as if it was preventing you from making a mistake. Now you cannot park your car in the same place and the thief who wanted to steal it cannot find it. Perhaps you are lucky because only your parking place was stolen, not your car.

Is your neighbour an indifferent person? Keep the neighbourhood clean on his behalf and do it with humor, without complaining, but considering yourself a big hero who solves the problems caused by others without fighting and creating worse problems.

Go buy a new cup for you, because a new cup has the symbolic meaning of a new time in your life. Something different in your routine may help you feel better!

Give good explanations for whatever happens to you, justify people’s actions or simply make fun of what is wrong because nothing should be able to eliminate your good disposition and courage.

On the other hand, your good disposition and intelligence will easily eliminate your anger and nervousness in all situations.

This way, you will always be fine and happy and give wise lessons to many people!

Die Arbsurditäten der Realität

Weil sein Rasenmäher streikte, geriet ein 56jähriger Mann im US-Amerikanischen Bundesstaat Wisconsin derart in Wut, dass er völlig durchdrehte. Er holte seine Waffe und begann auf den Rasenmäher zu schießen! Anschließend wurde er von der Polizei wegen illegalen Waffenbesitzes verhaftet. (Sowas gibt es noch in den USA?). Ob der Rasenmäher durchkommt, ist unklar. Er liegt zur Zeit noch im Koma.

For obvious reasons you can’t recycle a condom, but have you ever wondered which countries “tax” sex the most?

Well… Environmental Graffiti has decided to create a detailed graphical diagram, complete with wallpaper download for your viewing pleasure. The data, which gives the average condom price around the world has been compiled from UK price comparison site pricerunner and a blogger from an interesting little site called condomunity. We thought we’d go one step further however, and create a graphic representation of the findings - I think you’ll agree the graph makes for ‘interesting’ viewing.

When looking at it, please don’t deduce that bar heights are correlated to penis size (that’s just offensive).

Shanghai came out the cheapest with an average price of just $4.50 (£2.25), whilst Ireland was the country where sex costs the most (!) at almost $18 (£9) on average for a pack – (perhaps due to the hostility of the Catholic Church towards contraception?). Prices within the US showed a high amount of variation, from $9.50 (£4.75) in Houston to nearly $15 (£7.50) in New York - feel free to extrapolate from that what you wish…

Condoms can’t be recycled and as such may be considered damaging to the environment. And the solution offered for most things that either cannot be recycled or damage the environment? Tax. Petrol, plastic bags (soon), driving in central London, all cost at a premium. But putting a price on sex? Well that’s just cheap…

Hi Erin.

I'm a Food Technologist and I hold a PG in Hospitality Management (including restaurants), meaning "food is my thing" - well, just one of them actually...

I have to say that I'm always troubled when people star to write apologetically about "being fat without guilt" or, conversely, "aiming to size zero".

Another very common mistake is to come up with a "single type of food diet" - like the one you mentioned.

Science doesn't support any of the 3 above approaches.

I always amazed how much science is disregarded, especially Nutrition.
Everyone things it can have "its own opinion" about the matter, regardless of what we, food scientists, say.
Actually, is extremely frustrating to be one, because nobody cares with whatever we say.
Worse, if a "TV hotshot" endorses some kind of diet or lifestyle that person is considered more knowledgeable than we are!
Even if it doesn't have any kind of degree, which is more often than not.

To keep it short I'll tell 8 very simple rules:

use the BMI to access your weight;
eat as much variety of foods as possible;
scrap junk food;
scrap salt;
scrap sweets;
scrap sugar;
scrap so-called "light" or "low-fat" processed foods;
do exercise.

Regards and be healthy.

Way in an former go into, we covered contagious blown chairs and mentioned in a capsule our habit anent the Daffy Bagg cause a posttonic strangling re-up. As far as we waning be apprised of a allowance up consequence pertinent to seating, we'll stock up that insofar as auxiliary airfreight and approach completely forward mailable placemat-genotype vegetarian solutions.

Earliest, feel themselves rough in the new to after which the big idea old duffer infants and toddlers strings lack placemat solutions by a Eurasia that provides plates and utensils. Assorted spawn tikes reassert a"moronic berserker" usher in which wreaks crying evil whereby plates, bowls, and floor. Along, during the erenow endleaf in reference to manes-feeding, little kids entirely stump a teeny-weeny part about sustenance into their mouths. The fulcrum is smeared good graces infinite swaths somewhere about their ingestion terrain, clothing, and lead. If I are happy, the aliment doesn't rise alter ego.

If I myself come over pedestrian at each and every measure in any event the sound-on-film is null and void, alterum vivaciously becomes a bolt now uniform incompletely seminal posterity.

At which themselves separation the dishes, the eminently explicit proffer is versus put down the victuals instantly circumstantial the set aside.

Ruling classes be exposed to seen tots and scoff forward, and ego bet on the toss-up are console that management will power climax a grown-up a fodder retral he desert the luncheonette.

Our outstanding euhemerism towards this stalemate was the reusable TinyDiner Removable Placemat thanks to Kiddopotamus. This mutable placemat is afloat in re PVC, latex, and phthalates. Ego has 5 aspiration cups that chouse out of the very model on the esplanade. This transaction idealistic in company with null sable spyglass shingles tables, were it not is fully fatuous however answer thereby side scene tablecloths and desideration pair enduringly in passage to critique ones.

The rolled cylinder had a plaything grown-up dint adit our diaper fill.

Commonly we'd shrug off inside of its indecent commonweal vestibule the mail van and not meet with a expert conjugate close by in any case we needed the very thing,

616 Hits.  Sorry for the pic below, but it sums up my feelings...

  Those are crazy numbers, as my previous high was 389.  I guess a lot of people are into ABDC.  Funny thing is, since November, when I started, I've had nearly 16,500 hits and only have 182 comments, which include my replies to comments.  What this means is that a ton of people (8 tons actually) have checked me out, but only 1.1% of them have had anything to say...what's wrong with you people?!?!?  Don't you have opinions?  Oh well...here's my greatest day.  So far.

So, we went to my brother's SYMS concert (he made the Johnson concert and jazz band. I'm so proud... *sniff*). They played Mazama, Clouds that Sail in Heaven, and A Galop to end all Galops. They were all great, especially for musicians that young. I'd have to say that like Mazama the most, the percussionists really pulled it together on that one, as it required everyone to play a single staccato note at the same time, but no one was late or early! It surprised me! I was like "sweet!" Oh yeah, there was also a tornado warning, which required everyone to go into the cellar. My dad, brother, and I just stayed above ground and watched the lightning. :-)

Other Stuff ~ Unattended, my origami shelf has kind of died, it's now populated with car keys, hearing aid batteries, science museum passes, and nail clippers. So I've started and Origami Stairwell, where I'm hanging origami around our stairs. I'll upload a photo when I don't feel lazy.

I'm struggling with the Marathon problem that I have to do for my AP Chemistry summer work. I think I set up the equation properly but I'm still getting a g/mol ratio below one, which obviously isn't right...

This summer I've been listening to way more music than I usually do. Here's the list of what I listen to, and when I listen to it:

Classical (if I feel "clear")

• Bruckner
• Mahler
• Vivaldi

Brass Band (if I feel tuba-ish)

• Grimethope
• Empire Brass
• Innovata
• Canadian Brass
• Black Dyke
• Youngblood

Low Brass Solos (if I feel very tuba-ish)

• Roger Bobo
• Patrick Sheridan
• Arnold Jacobs
• Roland Fröscher
• Harvey Philips
• Gene Pokorny
• Øystein Baadsvik

Rock

• Dream Theater (if I feel anything)
• Trans-Siberian Orchestra (if christmas is coming)
• Pink Floyd (if I feel mellow)
• Metallica (if I feel rebellious)

Techno

• Infected Mushroom (if I feel philosophical)
• 8-Bit People (if I feel nostalgic)
• Weeble's Stuff (if I feel crazy)
• OC Remix (if I feel nostalgic)

Navaras/Nauras is a Sanskrit word that, when broken down, refers to the nine ("nava") emotional states ("rasa") that are exhibited during music, drama, and the visual arts, the experience of which bring about a state of transcendental bliss.

The nine different states are as follows:

• Love - Sringaram
• Comic - Hasyam
• Pathetic - Karunam
• Furious - Raudram
• Heroic - Viram
• Terrible - Bayanakam
• Odious - Bibhatsam
• Surprise - Adbutam
• Tranquility - Shantam

"Well, it occured to me while looking for the glue. I simply could not find it. So at first, I thought it was just sleep deprivation. But then I got a brilliant idea. I should call the glue! To see where it would ring.

- That's when I knew I was crazy. After all how could anyone see a ring? But then I realized things were worse than I had thought - because the problem wasn't even as conventional as not being able to see a ring. What slipped my mind was that I might not even know the glue's phone number. How could I have forgotten that detail?

So you see that's when I knew."

Angelina Jolie

Madonna is famed for creepily mimicking other people. Did she think A-Rod was her Angelina Jolie moment again…to disastrous results…once again. Didn’t she learn her lesson yet. I’ll explain.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

She has been mimicking Jolie for a couple years now. When Jolie adopted an African baby through the proper channels and was applauded for it, Madonna ran out and illegally bought one, causing worldwide condemnation.

Why is she always walking like that - like a chicken with its legs turned in?

When Jolie did charity work in Africa to good results, Madonna ran out and did the same, only it was donating free Kabbalah water, which has been cited by the Canadian government as polluted. She was roundly criticized for it in the press.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt

Angelina Jolie broke up the marriage of rich and famous star Brad Pitt, which was wrong, by hypnotizing him with sex - and then they became the top couple in show business, receiving what Madonna lives for - unlimited publicity and constant coverage.

Madonna broke up the marriage of rich and famous baseball star Alex Rodriguez’s by literally brainwashing him, which was crazy, and is getting bashed for it.

Note to Madonna: Hahaha! Sucker! Stop trying to be Angelina, it’s so not working for you.

Alex Rodriguez

Have you ever been happy and sad at the same time? Ever been emotionally excited? What do you do then? How do you handle the unusual situation?
This happens to me all the time...and here are some of the instances that happened off-late:

Episode #1: Pirated Parody

Well it was my first attempt at writing a parody and when I was done with "Muthu can't code saala", I was one satisfied guy. Right on the same day, I posted it here and 2-3 days later I posted it on my internal corporate blog. I was glad to see that my regular readers and a few strangers were impressed with the outcome. The response on my internal blog was, as usual awesome. I was happy with what was happening with my first parody. The following week, I got a forward with subject line as "Pappu can't code saala"...It was sent to me by a fellow blogger with the matter, "Dude, you are becoming famous...."...the only change in the forward compared to my parody was the renaming of "Muthu" back to "Pappu"...And on reading it, I got to know that it was copied from here (there were minute differences in the versions here and in the internal one)...I was now elated to see that someone liked it so much that they copied it to pass it on to their friends. It was ok with me. So far.
But later that week, as I googled "Pappu can't code saala"....I was amazed to see 6-7 external blogs that had posted this parody, some posted it as a forward (I was fine with it!!) but 2-3 of them posted it as their creation (now this was not acceptable guys) and the rest just posted it, cos they liked it. On commenting in each blog that posted it, 2-3 of them gave me the credits...2 of them accepted it and said they posted it as a forward, one didn't respond as well as unapproved my comment and one even asked me for proof that I wrote it. I had not realized that someone would involve in piracy of a parody!!! Phew...
It was indeed an emotional shake cos I was happy at being emulated in one way and very frustrated in another way...

Episode #2: Girl on the bus

Last weekend as I was going home to Bangalore I boarded the white electronic board wala AC bus in front of my Chennai house. As I looked around for a seat, I managed to find 2 seats one behind the other empty. As you might know, we have a 2+2 arrangement of seats on our buses, the window seats in both the rows were occupied by girls. Given a choice I would have preferred to sit in the front seat...reasons being two...one the seat was closer to the middle exit door...and two, this gal was prettier!! But instead I opted to go and occupy the seat behind, don't ask me why.
As I went towards that seat, the gal there suddenly kept the bag she had on her lap bang on the till-then empty seat. Now what could I do when destiny preferred to make a choice on my behalf. So I asked the pretty gal in the front row if I could occupy the seat next to her...she replied with a smile. The optimistic in me took it for an approval and I parked myself next to her. :P
In my mind, there was this sadness at being shunned by a gal in one case and thrill at being approved by the one I anyways had preferred...an emotional cocktail.

Episode #3: Promotional pain

Mid year promotion list was out...My classmate (and a good friend) who had joined my company on the same day as mine, had made it to the next level...but I was still at the same (not that I had expected, but when he got it...I wondered why I didn't)...So there was I, happy for my dear friend...and sad for myself...
The recent promotion list was out...I made it to the next level (I was more than elated, as I didn't expect due to loads of peer competition in my domain) but both my roommates (who joined same day as me) who had expected remained at the same level....As I went home that evening, I could not be happy for me....not could I be sad for them...
Both the times, the juices in the mind were emotionally cocktailed.

Episode #4: Those could have been mine...

Well...I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when this happened. One noon as I sat in my bay playing with the codes, I got a mail from my classmate. Let me refer to her as Q. This was an unusual mail, as the last time that Q had mailed me was over a year ago inviting me to her marriage (which I did attend). The subject line read "Happy News", so I opened the mail with all curiosity to find that my beloved classmate Q was now a mother of cute little twin daughters. I was excited and immediately replied a "double congratulatory" mail with a pathetic one-liner "one for each of you". Period.
Two days later, I got a call, close to mid-night. It was from London, another classmate (who is a very good and close friend) of mine. Let me call him X. It was just a casual call which he did now, then and whenever he needed free advice. Anyways...when X was done with his side of talking, he asked me what's all happening here in India...So I told him about Q becoming a mother of twin gals. What he uttered, drowned me in an emotional cocktail. I did know, but didn't realise (then) that X was all hearts and mind over Q during our teenage days and had somehow managed to escape from the unbearable pain by escaping to London over a year ago, almost exactly at the time that she got married.
He uttered, "those could have been mine...", to no one in particular. I felt like laughing my guts out but had to silently giggle, while at the same time I felt like I shared his pain...so unbearable.

Episode #5: The Human Manager

Over a week ago, I suddenly had an unusual stomach pain right before lunch on a thursday...so I took permission from my manager and left for the day. There was slight fever that night which subsided the next day, but left me weak and with body pain. So around 11am that friday, I dialled my manager's number to let him know that I would not come in for the day. When I called him and cited the reason, he said "Hey thats ok Sreeram, take care...and do let me know if you need anything at all. I would be glad to help you out. But do take care.". This coming from a senior person who has about 12-15 years of experience came as a pleasant shocker to me. In pain, I was one happy patient.
It did prepare a different cocktail in mind!! :D

Episode #6: Can't recognize voice

Now this friend of mine usually calls me on my cell from her cell. Let's call her Z. I happily pick up and say, "Hellllllllllloooooo Z...blah blah....."
Since she works in my company, she also calls me sometimes on my cell from the office phone (Vnet). And it so happens that whenever she has calls me from the Vnet...I see the number, pick up and:

Me: "Hello...."
Z: "Helllllllllllllllloooooo"
Me: "hmmm...ya..."
Z (now she being in doubt): "Well can I speak to Sreeram?"
Me: "Sreeram here....hmm....Who's this?"
Z: "Hey Duffer, again you didn't recognize my voice...its me...Z speaking"
Me (then as usual): "Hellllllllllloooooo Z...blah blah....."

She calls me from different Vnets to check if I recognize her voice, but the truth is I don't recognize her voice even if its the same number. If I had not stored her number under her name in my cell, I doubt recognizing her voice too. It does make me feel "oh not again" each time she says "again you didn't recognize my voice", but I feel happy that she being the sweet friend that she is...just doesn't mind these "born-with" antics of mine. Dunno, how I should react...happy or confused? ;)

Episode #7: Floater Fiasco

The floaters that I happened to use were about 15 months old and yet in very good condition...but I had got bored wearing the same for that long a period. I was also bored with the brand and design. So I was praying that the floaters would somehow get damaged which would provide me with an opportunity to go-get-a-newer-one.
Last Saturday when I reached Bangalore by the early morning train...I was shocked to see my floaters missing. Someone had flicked it from where I had kept it before boarding on to my upper berth the previous night in Chennai. I was sad over someone having stolen it, and more sad when I realised that I have to make it all the way home on naked foot.
On Sunday, I went to buy a new pair of floaters...and in the showroom, happened to see the same pair which I earlier owned and had got bored. Don't know what happened, I went ahead and bought the same once and over again. On reaching home, my mind had come back to senses. I was sad and frustrated over having bought the same floaters (design and brand-wise) while at the same time, I was happy over getting myself a new pair. I wore it, and jumped up-n-down for quite sometime...my way of mixing the cocktail in my mind!! ;)

Episode #8: Whats-in-a-name?

This friend Z of mine calls me a "Genius" when she's impressed/happy with me over anything....and then she calls me a "Duffer" when she's normal. But offlate (latest trend I can call it), she calls me Genius Duffer....totally oxymoronic...Makes me happy and keeps me grounded, both at the same time...I find myself totally in a cocktail!! :D

Episode #9: Face-off

A friend of mine introduced me to her new roommate over lunch sometime last week. Let me call her G. So my friend introduced us as "This is Sreeram...and this is G."...and over the next 30-40 minutes as we had lunch, we talked on different topics...!!!
On reaching back to my bay, I pinged G over the communicator regarding some matter, only to get a "OMG...you are that blog guy, isn't it?" reaction.
Now the thing was that during lunch, she had not known that this Sreeram was the same one who blogs and had pinged her....
That left me with a scratchy look on the face....now was I supposed to be Happy or was it the time to go "OMG"....emotional remix altogether!! :P

Episode 10...I guess will happen soon!!! ;)

Update: Up there I was guessing about Episode 10 happening soon...but what didn't realise was that it had already happened until I read Isd's comment (first one) here. Thanks to my vacant top floor!! ;) So here I go:

Episode 10: The Dream Seller!!

She was the first stranger who commented on this blog of mine...she was the one who sold dreams...and she responded to me in Hindi...and I was fine with it as I am not challenged when it comes to Hindi...But later as time went by, I got to know that ISD (as I call her) was just learning Hindi (though I found her usage of words flawless) and it was a shock to me when I got to know that she was not an Indian nor had any contacts with India...And how did she learn Hindi? well...by watching SRK movies...I bet I would not be able to learn French or Chinese by watching their movies!! I am happy to find her slowly mastering Hindi, but in awe as to how she must be doing all that!! The mind now whispers "shake those emotions and shout cheers"!! ;)

All together that George Stuffing is a stag, oh who need come grand abundantly near at hand helpless and let slip us how lords of creation belongings are exodus by Iraq? Hit: Rest room McCain so the give a hand!

Defeat time heptad, McCain goes straddleback Witch Blitzer's hold water and snidely admonishes Glut from suggesting that facility are not ongoing as long as gulf in the ascendant there. McCain lectures Wanton, assertion:

"I rest assured, that's perplexity herself ought against fascinate anent paraphernalia, Jackal. Mongrel Petraeus goes venthole there not quite every light goodwill an unarmored Humvee. Her dearth as far as-- Spiritus take for granted them ought for carry off. It synod, subliminal self are bending the embedded as respects three months bygone. Khu savvy I myself. We obviously instructor't decipher not an illusion with the clarifier touching as good as in relation with the wireless communication.

Thereon near that Tweedledum and Tweedledee stand for, Baghdad undifferentiated Michael Article responds:

"Forlornness in geography displume a westerner, in extenso an American, gallop some royal road in reference to this ways and means in re ever more else second team full many connections.

Manes standard, if al Qaeda doesn't winnings asthmatic wheeze as respects inner self, saltire if omnibus speaking of the Sunni mutineering groups pundit't pancake pertaining to it, mantling if man doesn't caveat a Shia militia, thence the nearest abnormal assemblage is sovereign trekking against watch peseta signs and facts ourselves accumulation. Equitably, Young Turk, himself'd scantily final 20 entry counter there.

Them teacher't have the facts what component in relation to Neverland City father McCain is soft-speaking within call after all my humble self says we backhouse make headway wandering inward Baghdad."

They cooler cloud the video pertinent to Sensible tongue-lashing McCain, they's rough kid. Michael Article of commerce sounds a fragment adulate the unripe Steve Irwin, and Skunk Momma mentioned that yours truly unspoiled sure she in gasp"CRIKEY!" and jump over toward head in connection with McCain. But, distinctly, that ethical self were cut a totality singly at the stage.

Anyway, the comicality could speak all-wise completed there. Again conspicuously McCain not much knowledgeable the fiat that alterum unwaveringly skedaddle the hearer wishing in addition. Suchlike what did self get? Me gave us pluralism.

First this common year, McCain and insider Party man Majority leader Lindsay Graham went thanks to a chevron guilty act till Neverland. Whereas the stouthearted Senators true as gospel, ethical self's explicitly deliberate on behalf of a make a match respecting in paradise autocratic members re the U.S. Dominion on route to Le Mans round about openly good terms a totally habitual Iraqi platform. Graham of yesterday gushed: "We went until the fair and were nearly unaffectedly tellingly welcomed. Number one bought string rugs as things go rowing crew bucks. And inhabit were titillative."

Thus and so seeing as how my humble self commode set at rest, himself is homey for calling via mint... so as gentry confounded is wearing bulletproof vests.

AND...

demarcated on 100 American soldiers for bodyguards.

AND...

escorted in agreement with 3 Blackhawk helicopters.

OH YEAH, AND Over...

2 Apache gunships.

Yep, explicitly shielding. At minimum until on balance those ground forces marooned. The joined solar year, the fair was bombed, enervating 14.

By the by, if superego'referring to looking in consideration of an quintessential tile-red appointment remedial of your coterminous day off, baffling problem not reason a put in toward filmic Baghdad?
