Ordinary vs Extraordinary

Hah!

I’d rather be ordinary than extra-ordinary!!

The Internet was alive with commentary from journalists, political leaders and ordinary people.

Neerja Raman

Based on Rajesh’s recommendation, I’ve bought Neerja Raman’s book and have just started reading it. In the meantime, I wanted to share a quote:

On Happiness: The Story of Two Cats

A big cat saw a little cat chasing its tail and asked, "Why are you chasing your tail?" Said the kitten, "I have learned that the best thing for a cat is happiness and that happiness is in my tail. Therefore I am chasing it and when I catch it, I shall have happiness."

Said the old cat, "My child, I too have paid attention to the problems of the universe. I too have judged that happiness is in my tail. But I have noticed that whenever I chase it, it runs away from me and when I go about my business, it just seems to come after me wherever I go."

This is Rajesh Setty and this is Neerja Raman and her book.

Television

David Foster Wallace noted about television, "people tend to be extremely similar in their vulgar and prurient and dumb interests and wildly different in their refined and aesthetic and noble interests.
