Staring into space....

....we have all done it. and we all will keep doing it. cos it's something we have to do. Come on now...don't lie. Be true to yourself...you have stared into space during that important meeting wondering about anything and everything that had nothing to do with anything and especially nothing to do with the meeting at hand....so don't pretend like you don't know what i'm talking about...

I do it a lot lately, i have realised....space does hold some rather amazing secrets and it would be great to know about it, learn it, understand it yada yada..

But the only problem is, my space is not really 'space' in the 'big black nothingness' form of things....it is actually the parking lot and the adjacent road outside my house. Quiet a nice view it is...and the topic of some intense research by me over the last few weeks...

For example i know that the lot has 230 parking spaces in the half that i can see....so extrapolating it to the whole lot i would say it has approx 450 parking spaces. thats a lot...for a hospital by the way. Of it only 90% is utilised at any point of time....the rest are empty. There are 55 cars whose number plates add upto 70 and 63 whose number plates start with 4...ok i'm kidding about the last line

but seriously....i even know that the signal on the road there is 40secs per road and approx 14 cars pass through everytime it turns....freaky right...tell me about it!!

So why does the road and parking lot suddenly hold such fascination, you ask? (well you don't ask, cos you don't really care, but for the sake of argument, lets assume that you do ask...) it's because i am ruminating the meaning of life and other such questions. No seriously....i am....why u ruminate so, you ask? Well, that...i don't have an answer to....

But i do know that the answer to life, the universe, everything...is 42. I guess that's enough for now...(Those who din get that...go watch The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which is a wholly amazing movie...it really is!)
