Bits & Pieces Vol.4

My payroll mail always gets deposited in the junk folder.

The law of diminishing marginal utility...

It's a law of economics (again!!). And the best example I can recall to explain what it says goes something like this -

When hungry - with every successive roti you eat, the amount of hunger being satisfied by that roti, decreases steadily. That is, the first roti satisfies maximum hunger, second less than that, third even lesser......and so on.

Now I see that holding true in life too. (Yeah again!)

But then I wonder if the hunger diminishes steadily, why do pot bellies exist?
Coz hunger does get satisfied, greed does not.

He will regret it forever.

If you don't know what all goes into a woman's handbag, you will be wondering what I am talking about. Let me tell you - it's an assortment of almost everything under the sun.

So are the scratches on his new cellphone.

"Do you love him in a romantic way?" I asked, and the answer was an emphatic "NO".
"Do you want him to be happy?", and the reply was "Of course, yes!".

"Then why is it so hard to let him go?"
And she said, "It is not hard to let him go, it is hard to let him go to somebody else."

"That simply means that you haven't loosed the grip yet." I retorted.
"I have, and I am happy for him, yet there is a little twitch in my heart." she only smiled.

"That's perfectly alright", I assured her.

"It makes you human."
