An Ode To Childhood

Once choosing the colour of a sketch pen was a tough task.

Occupying the window seat in the school bus was called obsession.

Getting a toffee as a birthday treat from a friend made our day. 

Being the first one to finish copying from the blackboard was the ultimate moment of pride.

Hiding the answers from a bench partner during exams was not called selfishness.

When homework was the only torture & finished it soon, so could get some extra time to play.

Early to bed, early to rise was life's mantra, but how we loved sleeping late and having some extra TV time!

Owning a cycle was like owning everything.

To look good was only to wear our fav dress frocks for girls n half pants for boys.

We didn't need FB or a phone to keep in touch!

We thought all elders are ideal, when Daddy was the only hero and Mom was the only Best friend."

So what they say is right.

"Everybody dies twice. Once when their childhood ends."

A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are

on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder

lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears.

The ghost says. Normally, one is granted three wishes

but as you are three, I will allow one wish each"

So the eager senior manager shouted, I want the first

wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries.

"Pfufffff and he was gone.

Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and

shouted "I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and

cocktails."Pfufffff and he was also gone.

The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back right now ." Pfuffff ..........:p

Lesson I - ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSSES TO SPEAK FIRST

Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. 

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."

Lesson II - Never, never assume that your BOSS  knows everything.

There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared.Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle. 

He said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish.When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, and then your wish will come true."The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted "WINE".The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine.

The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka. The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER".he was so contented with his beer pool.The last is the American.
