Personal Intelligence Profile

Our office mail was intruded by spam mails somedays ago(spam has started hitting my office email account as well!) ...I had forgot to delete it.

Today as my mailbox was almost overflowing..I decided to delete the not-so-important mails and also move mails to the local folders.A mail gained my notice which read:



Good news from IQtest.com: We're having a sale! Your Personal Intelligence Profile is now available at half price!
I laughed for a good half an hour at the prospect of my intelligence profile being sold for 5 dollars.
I am still laughing....

Forced Cheerfulness

90% of the people we know will disappoint us, it is only a matter of when, I told a friend a few days back. Later I realised, I forgot to mention, that some people disappoint multiple times. Sometimes we just dont learn, do we?Silly conversations arent my thing. I get tired of them very easily. Nobody wants to be gloomy but forced cheer isnt the solution.

Cool Google Logo's

Am Legend

History became legend. Legend became myth.

Yes, its part of Galadriel's introduction to The Fellowship of the Ring, and one of my many favourite parts in the trilogy. But have you ever felt, that the turn of events could be in the reverse direction? That myth slowly becomes legend, and legend becomes history?
A lot of people have childhood memories. I for one, cant remember any of it! I think my first childhood recollections are only from class 2 onwards. Yet I have heard nursery stories of me from my parents and slowly, the more I hear these, the more they start forming part of my own 'memories'. Like how my friends couldnt stop laughing about my first school fight. Like how my mom freaked out when I came home from school with a bleeding knee I wasnt even aware of.But these are not events I remember on my own, yet the stories paint such a vivid picture, that the lines between my own memories and those of others gets blurred. And I have no way of telling fact from fiction.

Myth became legend, and legends became history... and in some ways, we start making our memories out of what we hear.

Anyway, to complete the circle, the post started with Lord of the Rings, and shall end on it as well. I was wondering what character I would like to be, if I were in the story. My favourite character is no doubt Aragorn, but I think if I were a man, I'd be the more human Boromir. So much for wishful thinking. Naaa... I'd be Arwen, for obvious reasons ;)

And you?
