PAVLOVIAN


Photo Courtesy: thumbpress.

A photocopy is a Xerox

Noodles are Maggi

Post it-s are 3M

Quality sound system is a Bose

Sunglasses are Ray-Ban

Santa is Red

Christmas is merry and new year is happy
(I had a friend who used to wish Marry Christmas and I asked him if I should divorce the New Year 😉)

Mickey is a mouse

Donald was a Duck till one Trump came along

Bottled water is a Bisleri

Baby products are Johnson and Johnson
(maybe Asbestos now ☹)

If you drive fast you are a Schumacher

And these things change with time too

If you were a footballer in
60s and 70s, you were a Pele
In the 80s, a Maradona
Around the noughties, a Beckham
Now a Messi or Ronaldo

Like the song Knockin’ on Heaven’s door recalled
A Bob Marley or
A Eric Clapton or
Guns and Roses
Depending on your age!

And such conditioned reflexes make for this interesting game – you can impress the ones who do not know about this.
  1. Think of a number from 1 to 10.
  2. Multiply that number by 9.
  3. If the number is a 2-digit number, add the digits together.
  4. Now subtract 5.
  5. Determine which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with (example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, etc.)
  6. Think of a country that starts with that letter.
  7. Remember the last letter of the name of that country.
  8. Think of the name of an animal that starts with that letter.
  9. Remember the last letter in the name of that animal.
  10. Think of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter.
You can then ask them if they are thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?

Drum roll and cue to jaw drop!

Please remember that it works only with English speaking people. I tried it once on my Romanian fried and she started with Deutschland for D and it was chaos!

Dangerous Things

Restraints on speeches

And plastic in oceans

Crispy hot summers and freezing cold winters

Polar ice reserves that melts into zilch

These are the few of the dangerous things!


Dark colored water and fake colored apples

Gilet jaunes, #metoo

And children with shotguns

Wild ducks that flounder with oil on their wings

These are the few of the dangerous things!



Trump in white house, not giving a shit

Britain is pulling on EU, a Brexit

Rest of the world too slowly falling apart

These are the few of the dangerous things!



When Orban barks

When Trump smirks

When I’m feeling sad

I just remember these dangerous things

And then it gets worse


* -- Sing to the tune of These are the few of my favorite things.
