Running Out of Things

I don't mean groceries at home. It's about the world at large. We are, according to some predictions, going to

1. Run out of drinking water in 15 years,
2. Oil in 40 years,
3. Glaciers in 25 years,
4. Chocolate in 10 years,
5. Fish in 75 years,

and 6. Air in a 100 years-at least, oxygen in the air.


I am just wondering when we will run out of these crazy predictors?

Feel Good Stuff

What makes us feel good? Try some of these for size.

A road that was full of pot-holes being made up like Hema Malini's cheeks (to use a Lalooism). Had this feeling recently on the Rau-Pithampur road in front of the institute. It was languishing in a lunar crater syndrome for a while.

The sight of vegetables in a market, neatly arranged.

The sight of a shady tree on a summer afternoon.

The sound of rain, and the smell.

A cup of tea on the boil.

A long-time-no-see meeting with a friend.

A beach. A lake. A river. Particularly when it's deep blue water.

A poori fluffing up in the kadhai.

I guess I am hungry!
