WHO is so cute

 Do we know why this strain is called omicron?

WHO's explanation is that it wanted to avoid the names Nu and - believe it or not - Xi.

Those are the Greek letters following Delta.

WHO is so cute...and I am torn between question mark and exclamation mark. Which punctuation should I put after, 'WHO is so cute'

Shubhprabhat.

I said: In India, be on the Left, but overtake from the Right.

Dhundh se aanaa hai

 This is so uncanny:

NCR mein rahne ka bas itna hi phasana hai,

Ek dhundh se aanaa hai, 

Ek dhund mein jaana hai.

 Monday gyan:

Monday is always longer than Sunday, if you are working, that is.

If you are retired, everyday is an equinox.

 My impudent gyan:

Give love n care as a loan because you get it back with  the highest Interest. 


Bhagwaan Krishna said:

Serve without Interest - simple or compound.

मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥ २-४७

 Today's a good day to start the new month with a few:


Start of a long weekend;

You're still loaded with your salary (hopefully);

Tomorrow is a dry day with Gandhi Jayanti;

And, tomorrow you are once again going to take a pledge of not drinking again;


Shubhprabhat

Life Certificate and I'm Alive

 A pensioner went to the bank where her pension got credited every month. As per extant rules in India, one needs to furnish a Life Certificate every November to reactivate the pension infusion in the said account. This is to ensure that no fraud happens and pension does not get paid, although the pensioner is no more.

Now, what our pensioner did was play the following Celine Dion video to the bank managers:


I'm alive

But the video quoted was not proof enough for the bank authorities. She had to fill up multiple forms to assert that she was indeed alive.

Posted on 07June 2020: Choose your 'ist'.

Sunday gyan:

Choose your 'ist'

The optimist said:

The earth travels 26 lakh km a day. Your yesterday's troubles are 26 lakh km behind.

The pessimist said:

But the earth moves in circles. We will meet our yesterday's troubles soon.

 So far so good, folks. Oceans haven't boiled over yet.


One thought about boycotting everything Chinese:

Shouldn't we adopt Kautilya in favour of Sun Tzu.

(Any case, how the hell does one pronounce Tzu?)


Shubhprabhat.
