A funny thought crossed my mind I was Driving through the city when I saw a hospital named “HOPE Hospital”
is that the best name for a hospital ?
Because HOPEΒ is the last resort.
When there is nothing else there is always hope .. so what sort of signal are we sending , come to this hospital this is the LAST RESORT for you peopleeeeeeee.. come one come allllllllllll π
But lets make it more funny, and if I was at the reception working there, Β ImagineΒ someone comes in the hospital and asks the reception Β “I came here to check on my relative ” ..
Right Sir.. “You need theΒ FINGERS CROSSEDΒ unit .. .. turn right and walk down .. straight.. if you get to theΒ FIFTY FIFTYΒ ward you have gone too far Sir.. walk back..” π
*********************************
Another think isΒ what’sΒ this about being competitive, Β I hate competitive people .. I mean we are all different people and we all have something good and bad IN US, we may be good for some and bad for others, so why do people have to be so competitive especially with friends.
I am sure we all have stories to tell about how people behave especially if its to do with work and they want that particular promotion..
Well When one comes and says .. Bik I am veryΒ competitiveΒ .. I can’t give up .. I respond
Well mate you are .. an Idiot..Β BUTΒ then if it makes you feel better ..You are the BEST Idiotπ
**********************************
Lastly this is completely on a Tangent, have you seen the newΒ refrigeratorsΒ these days you can buy, they have intelligence in them, if you do things properly thenΒ apparentlyΒ it knows when a particular thing is going down in quantity and automatically order it from the superstore for you.. and another good thing It can give youΒ Β instant COLD water ..Β Β Can you digest that , EUREKAAAA ..
The Ads that come out, telling how our life can change if we buy one of those massive fridges , how it does this and that ..
Well to cut the story short , bought the fridge although I already had perfect working fridge the only difference was that IT WAS NOT MASSIVE. so now as all of you can add 1 + 1 will know that I have two fridges, but no space for the two, so the old one has to go, it needs to be removed from the house, That was another big adventure which i will talk maybe in next post, as I am sure those who live in uk know for sure the health and safety issues , all the BLAH BLAH BLAH’sssssss Β anyway
Coming to the change in life, wow to be honest it hasΒ not half changed my life. I dont see how , well what didΒ IΒ do , I put the fridge in place of the old fridge in the kitchen next to the sink.. Hmmm Well sorted .. ACTUALLY
Sorry .. IT has changed MY life for sure because
Now I can save on taking that extra step to get the water from the TAP.. π
I have probably saved myself a YARD of walking everyday πΒ ingenuousness Β .. the EUREKA MOMENT for sure π
Ps:- Sorry I have not been able to visit many of your blogs.. I was away , Will surly look up all you lovely people have written when I was gone.
I am so with you in being bugged by the over-promising advertisements. The kind of promises they make in the name of technology. Like the washing machine we have was sold with the tagline that it is so smart that clothes never tangle in each other and drying them after the washing cycle is a breeze. The fact is never till date have I seen the clothes not being tangled in that very same washing machine π¦

Yeah. another thing that makes me angry is the ads of FOOD, the burgers they show and the kebabs they show in the pictures is never like the one that comes in the plate in front of you π¦

Hope is certainly not the right word, for it implies, that you are not sure of anything.When I say, “I hope I get well”, I am invariably preparing myself to a situation of not getting well, but I were to say,” I am well”, then my intention of forcefully thinking of being well, it will work for me and make well.
Am I confusing?

I don’t think that Hope is a bad name for a hospital. Even I go for a normal check up I go with a hope that I have no disease, if I go to get my cold checked I hope it doesn’t turn out to be malaria …so for me Hope isn’t the last resort it is the 1st step of positivity π
And u actually said that to your fren? lol!! Good One!!
