Mantra

There are a lot of odds and ends that I've gathered over the years and one of them is a mantra (a kind of self-hypnosis) that goes like this :"Day by day, in every way, I am becoming more and more healthy, wealthy, loving, blissful and enlightened." But sometimes while I am repeating this mantra instead of the last word "enlightened" I come up with the word "ignorant". I don't know why it happens. Maybe someone out there can tell me why?

Corn On The Ear

Here is something else I had in my collection of odds and ends. Some of you might have seen it, others may not.

Where can a man buy a cap for his knee,
Or a key for a lock of his hair?
Can your eyes be called an academy,
Because there are pupils there?
In the crown of your head what jewels are found?
Who crosses the bridge of your nose?
Could you use in shingling the roof of your mouth,
The nails on the end of your toes?
Could the crook in your elbow be sent to jail?
How can you sharpen your shoulder blades?
Could you sit in the shade of the palm of your hand,
Or beat the drum of your ear?
Does the calf of your leg eat the corn on your toe?
Then why grow corn on the ear?

Chennai Super Kings

Last night's performance by the Chennai Super Kings was really disappointing.
