As I approach yet another birthday, I find myself pondering on … well life in general. After a lot of introspection and soul searching, I have crafted a new philosophy of life for myself. But what I came up with was so profound that I just could not keep it to myself. So here it is, my 5 pronged philosophy – one I seek to imbibe in my life from here on
1. You are as young, as tall and as fat as you think you are.
Admittedly not completely original but I added my own twists to it. According to this rule, I am 21 (any younger and I can’t enter pubs), about 5’11 and have a completely flab-less body.
2. If others haven’t seen it, you haven’t done it
It’s simple actually, any action becomes real only if people see it or hear it. For example anyone sees a star falling then it becomes a shooting star, if nobody sees it, well the world moves on literally.
In my case if I eat a cookie while I am on a diet it does not count as long as I eat it alone in a room.
3. If you miss the bus, get a lift.
True. You should never wait for the next bus to come. It will invariably be late and that’s not me that’s murphy’s law.
In real life if I miss a movie I am going to watch the pirated version, no point waiting for the next weekend the movie is sure to be gone by then.
4. If nothing new comes up, change the packaging.
This rule has so many interpretations, I am at a loss which one to pick!
In these recessionary times don’t buy new clothes, just dye them another colour.
Cant think of a new idea? Browse old presentations and resell an old one
Don’t have a guy in your life? Call the loser you dated few years back and dumped
5. The world is what you make of it
A bit similar to rule 1 but not the same. This rule applies to how you interpret what others say to you. For eg
This idea suck
Interpretation – I am very impressed with your ideas but I don’t have the money to do this now
That’s dumb
Interpretation – If I don’t say that we will have a long conversation on this and you will realize I am a prize idiot!
You are old
Interpretation – I envy your wisdom and experience but I am too young to admit it
Get ready world, it’s the new me with new rules. Get outta the way

It was a fun read, i think you have given your proof reading skills a back seat. So much for the literary appreciation. Nit picking is something i dont do very well so lets get to the heart of the matter.I am pleasantly surprised at your new philosophy..it soo hinges on "OPTIMISM"..is it a rub off? or are you headed for a genuine metamorphosis??leaving the answers for you. But lady if you live by what you have typed I swear it just cant get better.
