Three Random and Quite Unrelated Thoughts

1. Hot Cycle, 22 Mins:

That's what I chose past weekend while doing laundry. Once done, while transferring clothes from washer to drier I saw something which gave me a heart attack. Our recently purchased Creative Muvo MP3 player was there looking at me in shock and complaining what you had done? Did you forget how your mother always used to check pockets before putting the clothes for washing...What a Shame....You are responsible etc etc.
The next thought comes to my mind is what happened to those ipod nanos out of washer..Just complete dead. At least I have heard that in two cases recently. But who will throw away $50 without giving a chance at least....and guess what...The player was intact, playing with crisp clear sound as before, like nothing happened.
Yes Creative's Muvo did survive this ultimate but unintended stress test which Apple's Nano can never even think of. Does it mean I am a Muvo fan now...No way, as long as I have that white thingy with the logo of a "fruit" on it.

2. New Arrival In the Market:

Couple of days back did see this new product from Coke at our local Kroger "under new arrival" section. Diet Coke "Plus" which Coke recently launched in some "test" market segments. As if Zero Carb, Diet coke was not sufficient this version of Diet coke is with Extra Supplement of Calcium and Minerals. Did not even dare to buy it, but it proves what this Conglomerates can do and can go to the extent to make you buy their products. Maybe those executives in Atlanta are thinking the day will arrive soon when Doctors will recommend this new drink for extra supplements!
You are right, with Coke there brandishing something new, can Pepsi be far behind? Read that they are counter attacking with "Tava" (isn't that a weird name, maybe Coke already beat them in naming the product atleast)

3. Nothing Is Permanent:

After seven long years my registration plate of Honda Accord gets replaced past week. This being our first car and the first title plate number, maybe over the years grew an attachment with this particular sequence of Alphanumerics. So anytime I saw a related number (maybe one or two digits/letters different) unknowingly got that affinity to that different car for few seconds driving along in the road. As if we have something in common.
How many times I might have been searching for this particular sequence of letters and digits coming out of a store and finding myself lost in car parking. And when you see it...its is like, there is my dearest one..waiting patiently for me to drive me back! There are thousands of look alikes (green Honda Accords) but this was the "thing" making it unique and so wanted and so special for me!

Now this old one is replaced by 712SSJ....it will take me some time to get used to this new number.
Will sure accept 712SSJ slowly but can NEVER forget H86XRT though.
After all "Nothing Is Permanent" in this world!
