SLaziness


Many times we feel lazy and sometimes we do not.
Then would we be classified as Lazy or not Lazy?
Few people can’t tolerate the Ignominy of being called not Lazy;
After all being Active/Proactive/Reactive in 10/ 100 situations should not take away the Tag/Pride of being Lazy.

How do we resolve this problem to protect the interests of Lazy’s being active in some cases yet preserving their identity?
Specially in today’s competitive world, where the Lazy ones are an Endangered Species. :D

Either we introduce the Degree of Laziness. But classifying Laziness in these terms sounds demeaning.
Rather we classify a few Activities which are an exception to the norm.
Basically not few but 2 – Eating & Entertainment.
People Travel, Strive and even Work Hard for these two; YES even Lazy people do that.
Taking away their Identity (of being Lazy) just because the show glimpses of activity for 2E’s is not fair.

So I introduce a term SLaziness meaning Selective Laziness.

SLazy (n) - A person who is Lazy normally, but shows slight activity under Extraordinary circumstances like the craving for Food or the desire for Entertainment.

UsagePranay is not lazy and neither is he active. He is SLazy just like me. :P

Usage names the 2 people whose great thought and discussion has been used as a foundation for this post.

SActive will also be used now :)

PJ


We often think along the lines according to our situation/ circumstances.
Like in school we think in a particular way in college another and another diff version pops up while working. There should be something which allows us to think creative, let our brains sharpen.

Something which is not available to Maggu’s (voracious readers) nor is searchable by Techies (not Google-able).
Such a thing will force us to use our brains rather than our ability to READ or SEARCH.

Coz I believe brain is a processor, using it as a hard disk is no good :)

There are only two things which fulfill the criteria Puzzles and PJ’s :)
Those who don’t know what PJ’s are – well u can stop here

Of the two PJ’s score slightly above Puzzles as they involve more of creation vis-à-vis puzzles concentrate more on solution. :)

Here’s a Graph for the graphically inclined :P

So to start with , Here are some things to ponder and help you to begin –
1. Why do Chemistry people think iron man is a lady?
2. Windows has a grammatical mistake. What is it?
3. Why you should not finish pending jobs?
4. Are 'Susti'(laziness) and 'Sustain' derived from the same root?
5. What does u call an advice seeker from Ants?
By the way

$#@& = knowing Australia will cheat in cricket. (This requires no brain because they always do it)
Answer Key-

  1. Fe-Male
  2. Windows "IS" shutting down.
  3. U can't be RIGHT if u do what is LEFT
  4. I also have no idea
  5. Consult-Ant

All the best :P

Reduce GLOBAL WARMING non-Literate Way :)

-->
Every Small portion of thing in crisis is useful


Water shortage - every drop of water counts
Electricity shortage - every unit counts
Money Shortage - every penny/paisa counts

When it’s Global Warming – Every LETTER printed counts
I extend this argument to PAPER SPACE – when you need to save PAPER every LETTER counts

-->
HOW
LETTER Saved=>Less Space Needed=>Less Paper Required=>Less Trees Cut=>Reduced GLOBAL WARMING

Every letter eradicated saves some space. And Saved Space is directly proportional to saved trees or reduced Warming

We can Start by using one size smaller font :)
There are many ways to do it, let’s go step wise
1.    Remove the USELESS letters. Nobody knows who put them there.
For example P in pneumonia; Cupboard and Psyche; B in Debt; M in Mnemonic;L in Calf, Half, Talk, Walk etc.They are just there serving no purpose because no one said why?
If we just remove these letters we save a Letter with no COST
2.    All written EXAMS are a major source of paper waste. Ideally eliminate the exams (or do them electronically)—If Not possible then keep word limit and deduct marks for every extra LETTER written
3.    Replace are by r and AND by & ( I guess no Explanation Required)
4.    Destroy all Synonyms of 1 word leaving the only 1 that needs least space

Just to see the magnitude
We save space = (No. of words with useless letters) X (No. of books) X (No. of occurrences of the words in the book)
  • we can look at using SMS language, banning Authors who write big books............
  • i will add Bharat's name in Credits too :)
