All this world cup football watching finally influenced my life. I was walking down the road and a person brushed past me. As he apologised, I threw myself to the ground, did a double flip, rolled around clutching my knees and looked for the referee. #WorldCup #football #funny

Black bucks
With the recent demonetization of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes by the Indian government, celebrities have been quite silent.
However Salman Khan has finally broken the silence.
"I do not have any black money hidden..... just black bucks"

Facebook Christianity
Christianity as preached in Facebook is very different from what Christ showed in the Bible. Choose your "book" wisely.

Racist
I'm not racist. The last time I tried being a racist was twenty years ago when I was a student. I came sixth in a mini marathon and participated in the decathlon just for the heck of it. Don't remember participating in any race after that. I'm definitely not racist.

Miss Universe
I firmly believe that the "Miss Universe" contests are rigged. Every year the winner is from Earth. In fact, I have never seen a participant from another place, planet, star or galaxy even qualify. No wonder the aliens ignore us!

Tamilnadu Polls and Rains
After a nearly unbearable stretch of superhot summer days during the time of election campaigning, it was a pleasant change as the weather cooled down and there was plenty of rain in many parts of Tamilnadu as polling started. Ever wondered what scientific research and analysis has shown about the timing of these rains and how long it will last?
Research has shown that the rains in Tamilnadu happened after polling started so that no political party could campaign saying that they caused the rains to happen.Interesting analysis.....
Research has predicted that the rains will stop and the hot weather will restart just before the final results of polling so that no political party can claim that it is raining to celebrate their victory!

Rear View Mirror
Drive around the roads in India and you will soon notice that one of the most non essential vehicle accessories is the rearview mirror.
It is even legal for a car not to have the passenger side rearview mirror.
Bike riders remove their rearview mirrors to make their bikes look cooler.
Even if the mirrors are there, drivers and riders seem to hardly use them. The primary purpose of the rearview mirror is to comb ones hair or apply lipstick. Cracked and broken mirrors are left unrepaired. Needless to say that there are plenty of accidents as a result of this lapse.
Ever wondered why Indians feel that they do not need to look at rearview mirrors? The reason is a complex interplay of genes, evolution and memory.
Thousands of years ago, people in the Indian continent were supposedly better evolved. One of the hallmarks was the presence of a rear eye in all Indians. The brain thus had a view of both the front and the back and could adjust accordingly. There was never a need to turn back. This was particularly true of wives who always knew what was happening behind them.
As lives became more hectic people were not interested in what was behind them as they became busier and only wanted to see what was in front of them as they quickly moved about places. Hence the rear eye underwent disuse atrophy and slowly became non functional. This hardly mattered at that time.
While the rear eye was non functional, people were unaware of this as they were so focused in looking forward and bulldozing their way through life. The genes coding for the rear-eye were still there, but the expression of the gene (the phenotype) was suppressed after a few generations. As the gene was still there, people felt that their rear eye was still functional.
Enter the era of motor vehicles and every country touted the rearview mirror as a useful tool while driving. Indians begged to disagree. They felt that their rear eyes could still see and if it saw nothing, then the coast was clear to turn, reverse or cut across lanes.
The driving license test could be passed without a mirror check when turning. Little did they realise that their rear eyes were no longer functional.
However the strong presence of the gene and the power of suggestion soon overpowered the power of reason and rearview mirrors were considered obsolete.
People did not wear helmets as it could potentially cover the rear eyes.
Next time you look at the back of the head, look to see the faint ridges and lines that once were the rear eye. There is no cornea, no pupils, no lens. Its just a faded reminder of the glorious past.
Maybe one day someone will publicly proclaim that rear-eyes are a sham and no-one has them anymore. Maybe someone will do a post mortem on someone who dies in an accident and find the lack of a rear-eye. Maybe someone will then examine people and find that no-one has a rear eye.
Till then when I drive, I will anticipate that the person driving in front will turn onto my lane without indicating - because he has 'seen' with his rear eye and his rear eye tells him I am not there. If I crash into him, it is my fault - as my front eyes did not anticipate it.
I'll do shoulder checks, mirror checks and indicate everytime I turn or switch lanes. People may call me less evolved as I dont trust my rear eye or cant see through it. But thats OK.
