16 things I have learnt in life

16 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN from GOM


1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.


2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "."


3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."


4.People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.


5. You should not confuse your career with your life.


6. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance.


7. Never lick a steak knife.


8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.


9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.


10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.


11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age 21.


12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.


13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person.



14. Your friends love you anyway.


15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.


16. I will let you add yours in a comment

She calls on little Billy.
He replies, "None, they will all fly away with the first gunshot."
The teacher replies, "The correct answer is 4, but I like your thinking."
Then little Billy says, "I have a question for you. "
"There are 3 women sitting on a bench having ice cream:
One is delicately licking the sides of the triple scoop of ice cream.
The second is gobbling down the top and sucking the cone.
The third is biting off the top of the ice cream.
Which one is married?"
The teacher, blushing a great deal, replies, "Well, I suppose the one that's gobbled down the top and sucked the cone."
To which Little Billy replied, "The correct answer is 'the one with the wedding ring on, ' but I like your thinking."

Visitations and Holi

Hello colourful blogeaders



Well Mrs Pimms Big sis , twinnie sis and brother inlaw , the one into drugs ( chemist or something like that ) pay another visit to India



First stop for the lady's had to be the nail spa for the compulsory manicure, pedicure , head, feet arms, legs and back massage , phew thats a mouthfull!!






Well Mr Pimms and the chemist went elesewhere as our nails are ok


Where?


Well inside Delhi there was another old relic to visit


This time we go way back in time to 1321 , when Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq built his little city , well this is one of the 7 cities that make up Delhi
6.5 km walls and a citadel with a passage to another fort in the distance , even has a tomb over the road




Only took 4 years and its a pretty impressive place to visit ,no tourists , only us local Indians and a ratio of 3 guides to two of us on the tour is pretty good going


Who was this guy?



Well look it up , I had too !!! Do I have to do everything here!!! He he






Mr Blender did manage to find the "Holy Grail" at the fort by following the shining beam of light
The guides told us it was the prisons , but we thought it was more like the granaries as all interconnected with holes in the roof for ventilation

As for the grail?

It now sits in the drawing room at F603 hotel , an amazing find

The other poeple were not at the fort but just on the way from/to school and I thought you might like the piccie

What's next , well meanwhile its Holi this weekend and in true lets get in the party mood Mr Blenders joins , no, starts the activity and ends up worse off for it, well perhaps the Dhobi Fairy can work his magic on the shirt and the jeans

Who is the dhobi fairy?

Well remember when you were little and mum and dad tricked you with the tooth fairy and a sixpence( 1 pound if you are under 26 -Liz and Ian)

Here in India it happens to Mr Blenders clothes, pants and all

Finish work and strip off ( mmm I heard you say, well some of you?) . Throw your clothes in the washing bin and heh presto , the next day you find them hanging up in the wardrobe , washed and neatly pressed?

Might be the same fairy as the one who does my shoes

Mr Blenders doesn't know how the Dhobi happens when Mrs Pimms is away, but it does.

Might have something to do with getting up at 06:30 to let the housekeeper in but who knows ?

More on meanwhile and another day out

Our visitors felt the heat , well old blighty is suffering from a usual wet and windy spring , so we hear

Having seen Humayans tomb in the past we paid a visit to Purana Qila, all the way to 1538.

Humayan plunged to his death in the library in this Delhi city or as the papers say today " the deceased was brought in dead"

We were told he was struck first with a candlestick by Mrs White but can't confirm this as the other guy said it was Miss Scarlet but he then he did claim to be Anthony E. Pratt, a solicitor's clerk and part-time clown from Birmingham?

Now there's a thing a Pratt invented Cluedo, well well

Well Namaste for now and happy Holi

Now where's my clean shirt ?

Well it is sunday

Hi Bloddieeeee hot bloggites

Yep Delhi is now in summer time weather , well when its 28 at night it has to be

Sorry the old Uk but you have to put up with it , or move !!!!

Well whats on this week ?

To start I have to say strange goings on in goa ?

Seems like a big issue out here at the moment

Well I think who would leave a 15 year old behind, asking for trouble knowing the hormones of this age

Sorry for what happened but hew parents take a grip and look after your offsping for life , yep , life

Well you did bring them into this world and they hopefully will see you out of it, but sadly in this event not so very true

Thats the best thing about being a mum and a dad , seeing then grow up and take thier own responsibility when they are ready?

Yep a question mark as to when they are ready, a tough call for any parent

Now 15 is not ready in our book

17 is ok but still you have to make the call

I have not read the Uk press but its a sin to leave them before they `can manage to stand on their own two feet , nomatter who you leave your kids with

Well thats it with that and what have we been doing this week?

Went shopping today to the local M&S mall , our corner shop

A fantastic Indian came up and said hello Neil , how are you today

Oh and Mary , looking forward to the spinning classes ?

Well , does this happen in the UK I ask ?

We joined fitness first , this was one of the trainers

Its opening on the 14 of April we are told

Just a short walk to our local shopping mall and 4 floors up

"my god" as tristian whould say

But here agian these people will push us with spinning and latin dancing to keep us in shape , no put us more in shape

What else have we seen this week

Well Indians do not like to que so the challenge is always on to let them know we are in front of you

Now shopkeepers are normarly pretty good at dealing with this but when they dont we have to but in, it gets intant result and large smiles all around when we do

Manners are a little bit differnent here in India but having a white face helps to difuse many an event ?

What about the humour you ask, wel Kam did get the jokes this week on his own e-mail, ask him

Well whre are you jokes , little bit more comments to see if you do?

Well I need you to provide that for us, any style would be nice

Reason being as we would love you input

Any jokes , any links just feel free

Otherwise it will stay as a samll family blog and I want it to sell India for all our friends and I know you want more!

Ps: Piccie is the back of Ambience , though it needs to rain to keep it green

Well Namste everyone

phew !!

Hi Bikers

Gurgaon is still here and this week I be mostly talking about Bicycles

Yep the two wheeled human powered version but in in India they have many uses apart form getting from A to B

43.2% of the polulation own a bicyle here in India and they use them in many ways

I have a theory here for the large bicyle that we see on the street

Well the bicycle saddle to ground level are all designed to be just a little more then the average indian, so his feet can't touch the ground

Why is this we ask?

Picture the scene

The egg shop delivery

All that is required is a bycycle with a rack at the back , someone who's your average height indian , one hero bicycle and 12 trays , yes trays of eggs

Load eggs one tray on top of the other , 12 trays seem the recomended load , but this may be cost driven , or some sort of risk analysis that determined the totals

Next climb onboard the bike and place your feet on the pedals

Then the shop /farm/ distributer pushes the whole lot into the Gurgaon traffic

Now there is no stopping till you reach the final destination where someone can help you get off the bike and save all the eggs

No wonder its crazy at the roads with all these people cycling with commodities on the bike.

Namaste bikers
