Known Unknowns!

Why do you always feel it takes less time while returning, than while going, to the same place? Does it have anything to do with the concept of home? Returning to Safety? Or is it because your mind was working hard, mapping the path, forming new neural patterns while going and once formed, it relaxes while returning in the same path, so you feel it was quicker?
Why are you compelled to watch a movie you love when it comes on TV, even though, you have that DVD staring in your face from your rotating-DVD-rack? Is it because you feel a free meal is being missed? Is it because there is no other interesting program on other channels? Or Is it because when you were channel surfing and hit upon a particular scene in that movie, it brought back happy-memories that you want to re-live?
Why does the traffic light changes from Red to Green exactly the moment you stop in the red light, when you waited all along from the corner of the street, staring, willing, hoping, it would change to green so that you may not have to apply the brakes and come to a full stop ?

Mapping
Yeah it was kinda of when u return the dist seems to have shorten,these observation i thought seems to be weird sometimes but with your parallel analysis think i m in ur boat too n to add on to that signal one , bloody i hate someone honking behind when i respect the signal frm amber 2 green especially u on da two wheeler n the honker mid-size sedan .If you ask someone who drives in Chennai
(India) you should appreicate the patience of two wheelers chased by SETC buses who are always colour blind in signal and stop only at their will due to obstacles ( other vehicles )
Whoa!
I love traffic stories when people go from here(Atlanta) and come back. No side mirrors. Honking.New counters in traffic light that tells people to move 10 seconds before time.I know…the survival instinct gets drastically reduced once we,desis,come to pardes!
i always felt going back
i always felt going back home was longer…
as usual some very nice observations…however cross i feel with some of them.
anyways what happened to your uk webpage? that one had a better feel to it…
LOL!
I wont admit that publicly Pradz(going back home longer)!Oh..why hold back on the ones u didn’t agree ? Let it out!It’s good for the heart(no..i wasn’t abt to say stomach…no matter how much u instigate me).Sorry abt the UK webpage. I was paying for it and once i accidentally deleted that blog, they couldn’t even recover it.so..was pissed and move to the free world of blogging!Thanks for asking.
