A coconut tree planted in the small gap between the compound wall and your house would mostly bend outwards. This makes your neighbor mad at you. It makes plucking coconuts tough too. The reason which we all know is trees bend in search of sunlight.  Mostly it’s not because of that, the branches which grow towards the house will be blocked. In due course the tree will be automatically pushed outside. So clip them off.



One of the dirtiest of jobs is untangling of spider webs. Some do it once a week and some do it once a month. I would advice just doing it once a month is enough; if you kill the Spiders/Webbers too while you dust it out. 


Some analog watches show date in addition to time. Good feature aint it. But if the date is showing two years delay. Imagine spinning the minutes knob 1*60*24*30*24 times. Im tired of even calculating this, are you willing to adjust the spin knob this much times. Don’t you think the designer would have thought about this. See if the spin knob has two or more levels of pulling for various adjustments. 


Soriyaandi says, “I can’t take it anymore. Why is this happening on the days which I clip off my nails?” There is an instant remedy for itching, but it’s hard for many. Light a candle and pour its lava on the itchy area and wait till it gets hardened. You are done with it now.



One fine day you woke up to see water is not coming in some of the pipelines. There’s water in the reservoir, then what is the problem. A cloth or something might have got dropped in the tank and that’s clogging the pipeline. You can’t predict in which pipe node it is. For this you do a simple task, close all the outlet valves except one. Pump water through the outlet valve so that the cloth gets flushed back to the reservoir.

You went to a village for an outing. You saw people taking water from a see saw hand pump the day before. But when you are trying it today it plays jack ass on you. The thing is, it needs a biasing supply of a few liters of water so that the pump can maintain continual flowing of water. 


Students often face this issue when they need to divide a page into ‘n’ columns. They would start dividing from left and wonder for more space to poke in the left out columns. Bisect the page and proceed bisection of columns till you get enough columns.

Man A planted a teak tree 10 years ago, man B planted a teak 5 years ago. Stop taking hints guys this is not an aptitude question. ‘A’ took good care of his tree by providing water, fertilizer and insecticide. ‘A’ clipped off the trees branches since only the central log is sellable. ‘B’ has only watered his tree and did nothing else. Guess which one grew mature first- B’s. As ‘A’ had clipped off all the branches the tree hoisted only a few leaves, that’s no way gonna give sufficient nutrition for his tree. 


Most of our moms scold us for eating bubble gums. They think it contains pig’s meat, it may or may not be true. We can’t compromise bubble gums for mom and mom for bubble gums. Just get into your moms den ya I mean the kitchen, and get a hand full of wheat cereals and chew them as you wish.





A newly purchased washing machine, it could blow your excitement off the ceiling. Whenever you switch it ON it says, “Washing Machine Error #023”. Call an electrician he would say, “Everything is intact. I cant fix it”. Call a plumber he would say, “Water supply is perfect. I cant fix it.” Sit for a while and call the mechanical engineer in you he’ll have a simple solution for this mess. The bathroom floor in which you have kept the washing machine is slanting for water draining purpose. Adjust the legs of the washing machine so that it stands straight and erect. That’s the way to do it.

Pepsi or coke whatever we prefer, we would like to have it wetting our lips, without a straw. Of course the style factor is there too. Bottles will have rust formed on the opening because of the metal lid they use. And there might even be broken pieces of glass on the mouth of the bottle. So it’s better to use a straw or switch over to coconut.




I guess most of you would be familiar with mustached intruders on your lavatories. Yup I mean the roaches. Ever wondered where the hell they come from, even to the tallest of buildings. There will be roaches thriving in your septic tanks once they get filled up they’ll swim up through the drain pipes and enter your lavatories. So your monthly provision list will always contain ‘hit’ or ‘baygon’ when your septic tanks remain filled.
