2011…A New Decade!

Hobbes:   A new decade is coming up.
Calvin:     Yeah, big deal! Hmph. Where are the flying cars? Where are the moon colonies? Where are the personal robots and the zero gravity boot, uh? You call this a new decade?! You call this the future??
HA! Where are the rocket packs? Where are the disintegration rays? Where are the floating cities?
Hobbes:   Frankly, I’m not sure people have the brains to manage the technology they’ve got.
Calvin: I mean, look at this! We still have weather?! Give me a break!

Calvin’s Serenity Prayer

The strength to change what I can,
The inability to accept what I can't,
And the incapacity to tell the difference.

Some of us prefer it to the original…which goes like…

God, grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Calvin!

Work Ethics

Long time since I did a Calvin post. Actually I have been quite irregular with my posts the last one year...maybe I too need some inspiration from the ants.

Independence Day

From Calvin's prespective...

Calvin and Stars

A lovely Calvin snippet, so apt for my last post.

Calvin and Me!

Hobbes: "Shouldn't we read the instructions?"
Calvin: "Do I look like a sissy?"

As I read this Calvin snippet I couldn't help but smiling as I remembered some recent incidents.

Very sweetly I had asked a friend to help me set up my cuckoo clock...even as he read the instructions I had already ripped open the box and was several steps ahead of him.

As he said...now do this...I was like...ohhhhh already done that, what next? But before he could finish reading the next step, I had already experimented and completed some other steps...not necessarily all executed in the correct order.

A few days later we were setting up the Wii. Remembering the look I got when the cuckoo clock hadn't worked I decided to sit patiently and wait for his instructions...

Honestly I tried, but several steps later I realized...there I was on my own trip, not waiting for his instructions but optimistically just trying to plug all the wires and accessories and hoping it'll work!

Calvin Time Again!

I'm off on a loooooooong holiday to India...heading home for a simpler life...
Hope I dont meet a Hobbes on the way to dampen my spirits

Some more Calvin...

Calvin Gyan - one of my favourites

Like Calvin says - The key is PERSISTENCE!

I'm a dessertarian too...

Marriage???

For someone contemplating marriage...this can change the entire perspective...

Maths!

Wish Maths was that simple in school !!!!

The Yukon Song - Calvin & Hobbes

Today I am humming the Yukon Song....

My tiger friend has got the sled,
And I have packed a snack.
We're all set for the trip ahead.
We're never coming back!

We're abandoing this life we've led!
So long, Mom and Pop!
We're sick of doing what youve said,
And now it's going to stop!

We're going where it snows all year,
Where life can have real meaning.
A place where we wont have to hear,
"Your room could stand some cleaning."

The Yukon is the place for us!
That's where we want to live.
Up there we'll ge to yell and cuss
And act real primitive.

We'll never have to go to school,
Forced into submission,
By monst, crabby teachers who'll
Make us learn addition.

We'll never have to clean a plate,
Of veggie glops and goos.
Messily we'll masticate,
Using any fork we choose!

The timber wolves will be our friends.
Well stay up late and howl,
At the moon, till nightmare ends,
Before going on the prowl.

Oh, what a life! we cannot wait,
To be in that arctic land,
Where we'll be masters of our fate,
And lead a life that's grand!

No more of parental rules!
We're heading for some snow!
Good riddance to those grown-up-ghouls!
We're leaving! Yukon Ho!

Calvin time again!!!

Just like my sentiments these days!!!

Calvin...again!

Even on the worst of days...this guy brings a smile to my face...
The first mail i read everyday is the Daily Calvin Strip...

Calvin Gyan...continues

Calvin Gyan...contd

Hmmm...but in reality and life don't we most of the times end up doing things we are not enthu about?

Calvin Gyan...

"Life is like topography, Hobbes.
There are summits of happiness and success...
...Flat stretches of boring routine...
...And valleys of frustration and failure."

My Sentiments...

Only difference is Calvin is stuck in school and me in office...
