I’m writing this accounting the recent Dog Menace in Hyderabad. I read about:

• Dogs biting girls in a womens college & making the exams to be postponed.
• A pack of dogs mauling a baby & succumbing to death.
• A dog going in a biting spree & getting killed eventually.

So here we go! Things to do after a DogBite:

• Wash the wounded area with toilet soap. Wash it about 6 to 8 times. Use ample water & clean with your hand.
• Take an energy drink such as a FruitJuice & prepare yourself for a vaccine dose.
• Look for the dog & find out if it is stray or domestic.
• Consult a general physician immediately.

Might be useful, if you happen to get locked-up in a lift (elevator):

• Do not panic. You are a about to experience an adventure, enjoy it!
• Look for “Alarm” or “Call” buttons on the panel. If you find one, press it & stay calm.
• In case theres a “fan”, switch it on.
• Tell yourself that a minute’s time is really a hour long & theres ample time to stay patient.
• The lift’s doors never have locks, try to open it from inside. Never worry if it doesn’t work out.
• Sit down & talk to someone, if you have a mobile.
• Generally, lifts block signals to your mobile. You can play a game or write some SMSes.
• Viola! Surprisingly theres noone to disturb you, think about your future.
• You can survive without food & water for atleast a day. Lie down & take a nap.
• Keep tapping the walls, if its more than a day’s wait.
• Take care of yourself; Its only you who can.

Its not Lie-Nux (லைனக்சு) folks, its Li-Nux (லினக்சு)!

Languages I speak:

Orkut profiles have a field like “Languages I speak”, & for all (Indians) those who put “English (US)” there, this is for you fellas. Lemme me ask:

• Do you say how much you weigh in “Pounds” instead of “Kilograms”?
• Do you say that “you are positive” instead of saying that “you are sure of”?
• Do you say “no problem” instead of “its my pleasure” when someone thanks you?
• Do you write deliberately “colour” as “color”?
