If you take a flight around mid day in a domestic airline in India, you are almost sure of getting a good meal.  I wonder how they keep the enthusiasm levels of the hosts in the aircraft so high Even on a half an hour flight, they give you something to eat and drink and they wear that broad simile on the face.  It's like running a hundred meters sprint, while serving the guests

My neighbor has no idea what I do for a living! He reminds me of Tim Allen's (of Home Improvement fame) neighbor Wilson, occasionally. Except that my neighbor is not so sage like Wilson. Even after several attempts at explaining a subject he comes up with seemingly innocent questions that I find are actually quite thought provoking.

It is generally considered prudent to retain an employee, when there are symptoms that he is going to quit  than to replace him  with a new recruit. My experience has been on the contrary.
