Elevators and hoi polloi

Image
I read somewhere that on an average a software engineer works on and above 3rd floor. Life of a SE is full of ups and downs, quite literally. He takes the elevator! Otis invented this wonderful machine which does all the up and down movements for you on the push of a single button. Elevators are preponderant when it comes to high rises. Just imagine the pain of climbing a 6 floors by stairs multiple times in a day.  Normally we spend 3-4 mins in an elevator but just in case you are a lift operator you might be spending the complete 8 hours shift inside the moving cuboid. But since you are reading this blog am sure you're not a lift operator. Lifts are a problem for those who travel more than 10-15 floors and those with extremely slow elevators, well you might be spending 5-8 mins inside the lift. As a token of kindness and sympathy I forgive you and this post caters to your interests.Hence, Read On! The various species which you might find in an elevator are: Name: Driver a.k.a Ope

This is what makes us stand apart from the fresh earthen pot which can be smashed to pieces if one wants. A potter who turns the wheel and shapes the clay without a single second of rest. As they say " Aaram haram hai " ..for this potter it really is as it is the matter of your life and death.Once casted, the clay finds a use and dons its new avatar until the day it breaks.Then?

Stupid, Idiot defines this group of morons, really?yeah! They're just hipsters camouflaging everywhere. Whenever an eco-warrior or the so called "environment lovers/seducers/suckers" meet takes place, they all sit together and plan to make life more miserable for the common man. Without the slightest knowledge of science/technology they start opposing any good initiative.Making everyone's lives as close to hell as possible, hugging, giggling and shouting is what they do in those "meets". Who knows what they do behind the scenes, ass grabbing..ehh? On one side they call themselves environmental friendly and they supposedly do all those things which are good for mother Earth but what about those zillions of posters/flyers/pamphlets they stick/distribute here and there? All these promotion aides eventually find solace in dustbins or should I say India's favorite dustbin - the roads! Chopping few acres of trees, getting them printed with non biodegradable co
