How to Leave the Planet
An excerpt from one of my favourite book's, "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy". I had to write something about Douglas Adams and his his work, will start by this and then more later.
How to Leave the Planet
How to Leave the Planet
- Phone NASA. Their phone number is (713) 483-3111. Explain it's very important that you get away as soon as possible.
- If they do not cooperate, phone any friend you may have in the White House (202) 456-1414, to have a word on your behalf with the guys at NASA
- If you dont have any friends in the White House, phone the Kremlin (ask the overseas operator for 0107-095-295-9051). They don't have any friends there either (at least, oneno to speak of), but they do seem to have a little influence, so you may as well try.
- If that also fails, phone the Pope for guidance. His telephone number is 011-39-6-6982, and I gather his switchboard is infallible.
- If all these attempts fail, flag down a passing flying saucer and explain that it's vitally important you get away before your phone bill arrives.
Douglas Adams, LA 1983

Hey - I tried waving down a flying saucer once. They pretended not to notice and flew on by. I'd strike that option out from Douglas Adam's tips if I were you! ;)
Hahahahaha... but seriously - welcome (FINALLY) to the world of push button publishing. And btw... woh "Delaying Gratification" waala kahani kaha se tepa saale?! :)
aalekh change the layout , i dont know how anyone can read anything...but welcome irrespective...your enlightening thoughts are going to be a blast to read:D
Welcome aboard!Your blog title sounds cool and familiar.

the reason why the saucer didnt pick you up was because it was actually a cup and saucer in front of you when you were having your evening tea with chinese misal pav and you imagined it to be a flying saucer because the chinese tea got you high.
If there were a real flying saucer they woul'd have never picked you up, as i am sure they wouldn't like humans hitting on them :P
