Results in Kelvin

Just after the 12th results of CBSE came out, someone sent this message:

Very true, I reflected. In a few years it would be in Kelvin: 273, 274, 300, and sometimes -273(in negative marking).

 

Hallucinating

 

I rubbed my eyes in disbelief. Was I hallucinating? The answer to my query was seemingly outrageous. 'There was a good chance that I would become as rich as Bill Gates'. Was I hallucinating?

No, I wasn't. It turns out that not only natural intelligence can hallucinate, even artificial intelligence can hallucinate. Wow! When AI throws back garbage as an answer to a query that is a bit outlandish, Artificial Intelligence is said to be hallucinating.

Love, you are a raconteur

 

In the chatter of the sky,

I hear your name so often,

In the matter of the heart,

I hear your name so often.

What are you save an abstract noun?

But what have you abstracted?

Love, you are a raconteur,

No whispers of heart redacted.

OMG Branch

 

In a certain Headquarters of a certain Army, the brass plate outside the Quarter Master General Branch had these letters:

QMG Br

One fine day, the tail of the 'Q' come off: whether wittingly or unwittingly, I don't know. And now the letters read:

OMG Br

Since then the Branch is known as Oh My God branch.

Minute hand chases the hour hand

 

Why does the minute hand

Chase the hour hand,

And having overtaken,

Starts all over again?

Not convinced of its win,

It tries again and again,

And a lifetime passes,

And an eon passes.

Nothing is permanent

 A dear friend sent this lovely message:

Everything is temporary: emotions, thoughts, people and scenery. Do not become attached, just flow with it.

But then, isn't Permanent Commission, permanent?

Redistribution of days

Friends, enemies and frenemies:

Today is the last day of April. Grab the day by both your hands. Next year you may not get 30th April at all. I'm told that the Calendar committee of the United Nations is going to redistribute the days of the months from next year. This will be for the reason that folks put in equal effort in all months. 

For starters, April will be reduced by a day and that day will be added to February. So, both the months will be of equal days. Equal effort in both months for folks to earn their bread. There is one more suggestion that is floating around: remove 1st April and add to February. That is, April starts from the 2nd. That way, we would have removed All Fools Day from our Calendar and still serve the purpose of redistribution of days.
