·We live like matchsticks in a matchbox. We go to office like ants in a line. We work like sardines in a can. As the years go by, we make the boxes, lines and cans more and more beautiful and feel happy about it even as the grim underlying reality never changes.
· Sometimes I think that the Indian Cricket Team’s favourite theme song is Ring a ring a roses… they especially love the “and we all fall down” part.
· I like the way Indian newspapers keep saying “ABC grilled today”, “CBI grills XYZ” etc. Someone coming from the past would have visions of a grim torture chamber with the person a hot grill over fire.
· For men only: As a bachelor you are fully alive. Being a husband leaves you half-dead. Fatherhood fully kills you. If you have many children, then that’s life after death, you are living the life of a ghost.

The last point will go down in history as a famous quote!
Hmmm… interesting that you should single out that point…
hah, saw ‘the box’ last night..remembered the quote. what a movie..but wish they hadnt tried to bring in the concept of aliens as employers, who could just as easily wipe out humans but instead chose to play a test-your-morals type of game..what did you think?
Such quotes become more popular you know.
Anu: Yeah, I guess
Preethi: I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I usually like alien movies.
