There are also some import landmarks that they say – Water Tank, Clock Tower. And actually Bangalore street planner think 4 dimensional – 15th cross, 23rd main, 1st Block, BTM 1st stage.

“In Bangalore, Mrs. Neo has quickly learned that if she keeps gasping and sighing for every near-miss, she will hyperventilate faster than a tragically over-enthusiastic Art of Living newbie.” I laughed so much that the guy in the office next to me came to check if I was ok.

@Roshni:

Although the class burst into laughter, I was asking a serious question. It does seem terribly wasteful of God to create us with terrible breathing and then create Art of Living to teach us the right way. Its sort of like selling a brand-new car with flat tires. But I guess the Art of Living guys implement the Fight Club rules – “Rule #1: You never talk about the Fight club”.

@litterateuse:

For the Airport pickup, I think of the bright side. When I pick up some of our whinier “You never call, you don’t care about me” relatives (which of course are mostly on Mrs. Neo’s side), most of the whining is done before we reach home.

And one of my favorite danglers is George W Bush’s classic line – “This is the worst disaster to hit the US since I became President” (speaking about Hurricane Katrina)

Chalk one up for Mrs. Neo from another “truly luddite woman”. Amusing enough that you drive an auto in trans. in India, but to actually give a *link* to manual transmission!! :O

Yeah that’s one reason I hate being in Bangalore when we visit. The time it takes to get to the airport to pick someone is the same as the time they take to ride to the airport, fly Pune-B’lore and wait for us to reach.

Don’t you just love free dangling modifiers? Now are the modifiers for free, or do they dangle freely?
