Latest survey by a U.S based company in collaboration with an Indian research institute has come up with a list of cities enjoying the benefits of global warming. Yes, it's not a typo, you read it right. A list of cities enjoying better climate than the previous year. The clever person you are, you must have realized from the title that Chennai topped the list. So what next, why did Chennai get it and what are the countries in the list ? I'm sure you have already thought of googling the list, and if not , why not google it instead of making this blog a newscast.
Nothing else can justify the change of climate that has happened to Chennai. For the unaccustomed, Chennai is not a place to visit during summer, nor it is during winter. (yes, it's not the climate but nevertheless we call December and January as winter.) For an average guy, the animosity with Chennai increases proportionally with latitude , and a guy from Delhi might do anything to get away from Chennai. Leave about the boy from Delhi, he might get angry with me. Who is that boy anyway?
A nice way to start your day on a rainy day is to think that rain can bring joy in your life, and soon you'll realize that you are dumb to accept my suggestion. This is the non-exhaustive list of rainy woes that might find a place in your rainy life ; clothes left unwashed, gutter water splashed on your best shirt, traffic moving as if roads are yet to be laid in front, and the inevitable lost umbrella. I lost count of my lost umbrella's that I plan to steal some umbrella's this time.
P.S:
The reference to the so called report is just a gimmick to make you read further. You are clever if you happen to read the post script first, but still it won't hurt if you go back and read everything.

On Procrastination by an expert procrastinator.
Whenever I have a task on my to do list , I stumble on a clever justifications to hang it loose for some time. Then the same task comes up, fattened with time, and tedious than ever, bugging me forever.
Unless , a dead line looms ahead and threats of serious implications are announced on a my ears , I find a better reason to avoid it. The reasons I dig out from the bottom of my not so deep brain are the works of a genius. I believe I'm a genius of sorts when it comes to procrastinating a task and pretty average in everything else if you don't consider thinking rubbish as one of the item in the list of everything else.
I realized this very early and decided to write a book on procrastination ,titled, " How to find reasons to procrastinate? " That would have sold like hot cakes, not because it would be barrier breaking and highly informative. But people who procrastinate would definitely want to know if they have missed out on any new tricks on procrastination. They are always on the look out for better reasons to procrastinate. They won't find it, not because it is not there in the book, but because they will procrastinate the very idea of reading it. Then my books would go unsold if I target these unreliable procrastinators, for they would not mind procrastinating their decision to buy my book. I might end up selling my books to a local eatery for absorbing oil from their deep fried bonda's and vada's , the one with the hole and the one without or the make shift tissue papers.
It's such a defeating thought, imagining the pages from my book being torn up and used uselessly. So defeating that I have dropped the plan to write that book in the first place. I will procrastinate this idea of writing a book on procrastination until I find the right market, which, I know that I will never know.
