"SPIT" personality - SONS Of SALIVA ( SOS)

Ulaga Nayagan tried to convey the message in the song from the movie PKS - எதிர் காத்துல ஏச்சி மொழியதே தம்பி டா தம்பி.......

Still lakhs of people(herein referred to as SOS) don’t seem to have understood the meaning and continue to pollute the streets, wet the motherland and sprinkle holy water on co-travelers.

The worst of all they don’t even feel for their negligence or care to apologize for such scatterbrained and ill mannered act.

Patience is a (limited) virtue and the SOS don’t realize that its only a matter of time before they are at the receiving end and receive a taste(YUK) of their own medicine.

Its really sad that people take time to follow good deeds and only acquire such (civic)senseless acts in a jiffy.

This habit is spreading fast like wild fire and the number of people spitting on the road are increasing at an alarming rate, as high as the birth rate in our country!

I am sure there are better and healthy ways to help fight global warming. What is more paining is that “some” woman folks are also a victim of this habit L

The number of spitters on road every day would even defy geometric progression as I see them everywhere – people spit from autos, buses, trains, lorries, cycle, bikes and where not.

Even while walking on the road or standing in a tea shop, they don’t forget to do this act which would make the country proud. Its horrible in traffic signals as auto drivers tend to spit near your leg.

Railway(especially MRTS) stations and Public sector buildings are a feather in the cap for SOS, thanks to the betel leaf.

One can now imagine why the PSE buildings are always painted in brick red color and why our famous Chennai Central station was repainted and could not withstand its creamy yellow color even for a very short time.

Its high time we do something about it. May be the Government could pass a law to prevent this ( Its already prevalent in countries like . When there is helmet law, anti-smoking law, why not anti-spitting law?

FASTing

No, the subject is not about FASTING. It’s a googly.

Its about advancing the time in your watch (mobile would be more relevant as I don’t see many people wearing a watch these days) and trying to get ahead in life ;)

Does this really work? Well, I have lost faith in the process as I still continue to be unpunctual. ( If you thought impunctual is the right word, then you are rightly wrong as me)

Well, actually it's a no-brainer. But after innumerous attempts, I have realized that our brain is superior than us and we end up fooling ourselves.Dont you think so?

A ten minute advancement in time will constantly remind us that we have 10 more minutes and we tend to over utilize the actual time and end up slightly later than the correct time.

Hats off to Murphy’s law. It is certainly a “Clock”tical Illusion.Also I strongly believe that punctuality has to be in the mind and not in the clock.

As there is a saying that “Whole is greater than the sum of its parts”, whether you believe or not, "Execution" time on most occasions is later than "Actual" time and we are misguided by the "Advanced" time ! ( If you wanted to reach office by 9am and set your clock faster by 10 minutes, 9 out of 10 times, you reach office after 9am and not before 8:50)

For those of you who still have faith in the concept, please try and create a folder named CON in your system.

Reality – Don’t worry about today, its already tomorrow in Australia.

Myth – Don’t worry about today, its already tomorrow here (as I have kept my watch 24 hours fast)

Next time when you hear someone saying “டைம் செரி இல்லப்பா ”, stand well away from them and just ask them to adjust their time to reset their misfortune.
