VAASTU AND VASTU

Not knowing that his client is a chief chef in a 5-star hotel, an overconfident Vaastu specialist said, ‘Build your new house kitchen in South-East direction. The food tastes great even if an idiot cooks. The client said ‘Take these rotten tomatoes, decayed chillies and stinking pumpkin. Go to our South-East kitchen. Cook well and prove your Vaastu to be correct or prove yourself to be an idiot. Your choice.’

POSITIVE SIDE

“There is always a positive side of everything,” said a man to his friend stopping his car at a traffic signal.

“What positivity you see when we are stuck at the signal just after the red light turned on. There is a long time to get green.”

“Well, we are at front most and the first ones to move when it turns green.”

“What if we come late and are at the end of the vehicle queue?”

“It simply means we don’t have to wait for a long time before it turns green.”

“What if we are neither at the front nor at the end of the queue like we are today?”

“Well, that has an advantage too. It teaches me a lesson not to share any such positive matters with a pessimist like you.”
