If someone is asked what or which is his or her favorite snack if he or she ignores the fact that it is not that great for health then one snack is probably worldwide famous and loved by all! The French fries! This is so famous that this is one snack which you can find anywhere and everywhere in the world!

The whole franchise of Mc Donald’s run because of its French fries! You are asked about having to add them with any and every item you take on the menu!
There was a joke on this that, they would ask “Do you want fries with that” for everything so much so that if you take fries as your main item, they still ask’ “Do you want fries with that!!”

Then you can places where the fries are more thin as wafers and even that as a snack is famous! The chips are like the regular sides all over the world!
If someone says that he or she does not like Chips or French fries (you can also add Samosa in that list along with Puri!) then rest assured that he or she is either a Robot or an Alien! Or an alien robot!

So when my kids the other day went all the way to a hip place to get their favorite snack which I assumed was the French fries with the Mexican twist of peri peri; I was surprised that the most preferred snack is no longer the French fries! Of course they still love the French fries but this was a jolt!

Now this snack which is apparently ‘better’ health wise than the potato and is now a rage! Even in theatres (movies of course! Not operation!) all over the fact that this has a better storage and is more robust!

Lets get to that in a bit!

Ignacio Anaya García; was a Mexican maître d’ (Maître d’ is short for maître d’hôtel, which comes from French and literally means “master of the house.” Maître d’hôtel was used in English for a head butler or steward of a household before it referred to the head of a dining-room staff! Now lets not digress! Lets just assume that Ignacio was a Chef!)

The restaurant he worked at a restaurant in Mexico, close to Fort Duncan used to have military personnel as constant visitors and the there was a definite zeal to innovate! One fine day Anaya served a new snack for the very first time to American military wives! To inspire American military wives is a catalyst for invention indeed!
So he basically fried tortilla chips and put shredded cheddar cheese and sliced jalapenos on top!
He warmed them up for a few minutes and voila! A new snack was born which was an instant hit! So much so that was promoted to chief chef, and he eventually started his own restaurant in the 1960s!

The Spanish version of Ignatius is Nacho which was Anaya’s nick name!
And yes! You guessed it! This new snack was the Nachos! The best thing about Nachos according to me though is the dip! A good dip can elevate the Nacho experience to the next level! Of course the potato chip does not need a dip to elevate its taste! Some snacks are so flavorful without much help! Full of flavor and essence also was Shri Thoguluva Meenatchi Iyengar Soundararajan who in a career spanning over six and half decades, rode like a colossus and dominated Tamil music for decades. Besides primarily Tamil, he also sang in other languages including Sourashtra, Kannada, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam! A true singer who respected the Carnatic music which gave him fame and prosperity!

Now stop eating those Nachos and sleep!
Good Night!

Remember those huge jars in the storage area of your house which used to be open once in a while and the aroma of the pickle would come and your mother or grandmother would carefully take out some pickle with a clean dry spoon and transfer some to a smaller jar! While my mother’s mother would have these jars full of pickles, my sweet toothed paternal grandmother would also have this thick halwa made out of jackfruit and jaggery called the Chakravarty! A sweet and salt bonanza!

We used to call the jars as Bharani and we always used to look at then with wonder since none of us were allowed close to them and we were never allowed to open them! If you are allowed to open a Bharani then it means that you have become responsible enough! It was a better proof of becoming a major than even your aadhar card!

Then she would carefully put a layer of oil over the pieces of mangoes which would be trying to get up and escape! Then a layer of plastic sheet will be put and the lid would be closed again tightly only to be opened after some weeks!

In fact the whole process of making the mango pickle or Avakkai pickle in my grandmother’s house was like an operation theatre with the chief aunties or mamis covering their face so that even a droplet of water in terms of spit would escape!

Only the most firm and green mangoes would be selected in a selection process more tough than the IIT! Just like the IIT or NEET if you are old or ripe then you are rejected without a thought or mercy!

Then like the grilling and training which happens in the army for the new cadets, each and every mango would be washed in a separate preoperative prep room! and cleaned with a clean cloth!

Then after getting it into the main room it is once again cleaned this time by the chief assistant surgeon! Then they would be cut by the chief surgeon with so much expertise that most of the pieces would be so equal in size to each other and they would look like clones! The home cloning machine! The whole room will now be having the aroma of raw mangoes and the tempted kids would devising plans of invasion!

Many mangoes may still be rejected in this phase like the UPSC interview stage! Survival and picking (more accurately Pickling!) Of the fittest! Darwin would be pleased Then comes the salting of the mangoes!

This is when the recruits like to run away! Some odd pieces would be eaten or given to those kids who would try to trespass the sterile area! The challenge was to bite the sour mango without closing your eyes! An impossible task indeed!

The elder kids and people would prefer the mango at the next stage when they are fully dressed in red (the mango that is!)! The chili powder dusting with a hint of asafetida would be the more tasty version! The immediate best is yet to come though!

Then the mangoes are bathed in oil and many secret masalas depending on your family in a large steel vessel and given a good shake so that they mix well! After carefully covering each and every mango with its own dress of chilly mix and oil, it is carefully poured over the Bharani! Every family member would have her own Bharani and the older the Bharani, the more senior or respected is the member! There is no immediate gratification here! You can taste the pickle only after some weeks! When you finally taste them they would be so soft that you can cut them with a butter knife! For now of course you can be satiated with the next best thing!

The best part for immediate gratification would be the steel vessel with the oil and chilly and salt! My grandmother would put hot steamy rice over it and give it a mix!
That pickle rice would be eaten with relish in between large sips of water by one and all! Whole time we would be making the sssh sound! It would be hot and spicy and having an unforgettable taste and of course amazing! Amazing also is the birthday celebrity Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw who may not be known as a pickle maker can save someone in a pickle!

Now remember those old jars and close the small store bought bottles of pickle which taste nothing like them and sleep!
Good Night!

“So many movie on the OTT but do not know what to do

It was better when the channels were just one or two!

You complain all the time even when it is time to cheer! 

Think of this when you see someone smile even when he or she cant hear…”

In the early days of news reading when a tele prompter was not available, you might have noticed the readers used to ‘read’ with their finger tips! It was possible because of this pioneering system or invention. 

Let me tell you first about Charles whose inventions and initial work inspired this invention which is universally used everywhere!

Charles Barbier de la Serre Barbier was an inventor and interested in shorthand and other alternative writing forms. In 1815, he published a book titled, Essai sur divers procédés d’expéditive française. 

In this book, Barbier explains that conventional writing is a barrier to universal literacy because it takes too long to learn, and people who must earn their living (farmers, artisans) cannot devote the necessary time to education. He introduced a system with dots and alignment of dots which were not supposed to be printed but punched! They were pressed into thick paper with a blunt punch so that they could be read with the fingers! He also invented three tools to make this possible: a grooved board (or tablette) to receive the impressions, the punch itself, and a guide to ensure that the dots lined up!

Now let us come to the point and learn about Louis…

Louis was blinded at the age of three in one eye as a result of an accident with a stitching awl in his father’s harness making shop. Consequently, an infection set in and spread to both eyes, resulting in total blindness. 

In spite of this major tragedy he nevertheless excelled in his education and received a scholarship to France’s Royal Institute for Blind Youth. While still a student there, he began developing a system of tactile code that could allow blind people to read and write quickly and efficiently which was of course Inspired by a system invented by Charles Barbier.  

Louis’s new method was more compact and lent itself to a range of uses, including music. It went unused by most educators for many years after his death, but posterity has recognized this as a revolutionary invention, and it has been adapted for use in languages worldwide! This system of course is now used all over the world not only by the visually impaired but many others. 

The full name of Louis was Louis Braille! and yes, you would have probably guessed it now, the system is called Braille! In everyday life, braille is used to annotate public signs like bathroom placards and elevators buttons!

Next time you get into an elevator with these small bumps which you can feel with your finger tips, try to ‘read’ with them! And maybe thank the inventors like Charles and Braille who make our life so wonderful everyday! Our life is also made great by explorers and astronauts and aerospace engineers who try to see beyond earth and get information for us to learn and grow! Remembering one of the first Indo American astronaut on her birthday week; Kalpana Chawla, you may have left us but your legacy will inspire many! 

Think how fortunate you are and sleep with a smile…

Shubh Ratri…

“The journey is long and far

You just look at the North Star

If you want a good body mind and soul

Enjoy the journey, don’t think about the goal!”

In the book called Algorithms to live by; The computer science of Human Decisions by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths tells about delayed gratification!

Remember how you are doing something or going through tough times and someone tells you, “Don’t feel low, think about the reward!”. This research actually proves the opposite! 

The Stanford marshmallow experiment was a study on delayed gratification in 1970 led by psychologist Walter Mischel. 

In this study, a child was offered a choice between one small but immediate reward, or two small rewards if they waited for a period of time. During this time, the researcher left the child in a room with a single marshmallow for about 15 minutes and then returned. If they did not eat the marshmallow, the reward was either another marshmallow or pretzel stick, depending on the child’s preference. 

In follow-up studies, the researchers found that children who were able to wait longer for the preferred rewards tended to have better life outcomes, as measured by SAT scores, educational attainment, body mass index (BMI), and other life measures.

The children were led into a room, empty of distractions, where a treat of their choice were placed on a table. The researchers let the children know they could eat the treat, but if they waited 15 minutes without giving in to the temptation, they would be rewarded with a second treat!

The surprising thing that the researchers observed is that some children covered their eyes with their hands, rested their heads on their arms, and found other similar techniques for averting their eyes from the reward objects. 

Many seemed to try to reduce the frustration of delay of reward by generating their own diversions: they talked to themselves, sang, invented games with their hands and feet, and even tried to fall asleep while waiting – as one successfully did! And it was those children who did not think about the reward who actually got the reward in the end!

The results indicated the exact opposite of what was originally predicted and what is always taught to us! Apparently thinking about the reward actually increases the frustration and actually delays the gratification! The best results are obtained when you do not think about the reward! The results seemed to indicate that not thinking about a reward enhances the ability to delay gratification, rather than focusing attention on the future reward!

Basically it can be concluded that you must concentrate on your journey rather than the goal! As simple as that and when you do reach the goal or get the reward in the end then the feeling will be much more satisfying! As satisfying as listening to the symbol of religious harmony Bismillah Khan play his shehnai! 

Now listen to his old notes and get a gratifying sleep!

Shubh ratri!

‘The skies are blue and the ocean too!

When you are sad you may feel the blue!

Be strong every morning night and day!

A blog and a sketch will drive your blues away!’

Rarely someone may say his or her favorite color is blue since it is associated with melancholy! In ‘blue’ is one of the most often used words in rock and boy bands all over the English music world!

Now since the skies and the water is blue! You may assume that nature has plenty of blue! But when was the last time you saw a thing of nature which is blue in color? Even the famous story of the Blue Jackal is an example of an exception which made the blue colored jackal rare and unique!

All light is a form of electromagnetic energy, waves that can travel through a vacuum. The waves fall on a spectrum, with some having longer or shorter wavelengths. X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are all part of the spectrum, each with their own wavelength. There’s only one sliver of the spectrum that we can see, and that’s the visible light spectrum.’

Reds and yellows have relatively long wavelengths, blues and violets have the shortest which of course is the way we explain the spectrum to kids! In fact the acronym VIBGYOR is what my kid’s school is named after!

The color we see is the wavelength that reflects most from that object. Take a yellow sunflower, for example. It absorbs the blue, red and other color energy waves then reflects back wavelengths that appear yellow. The color receptors in our eyes then translate the flower’s wavelength into its color and send that to our brain!

Blue is a tough color to spot in nature because there is no naturally occurring blue compound to color things blue! Yes! In spite of you being blue so often, the pigment blue is not seen in nature and the color blue is so rare! 

This is why blue rocks and minerals are so rare and why it was so valuable back when the Egyptians began mining the vibrant blue lapis lazuli mineral thousands of years ago! 

Ok now you will immediately think blueberries are everywhere and they are quite common! They are technically deep purple, not blue, and their color comes from the purple anthocyanin compound! Now blue has so many shades that it gives me the blues! One fine day my daughter told me that the color I was holding was not blue but cyan and I still did not get it! I know seven colors and that is that! In fact I did not know Indigo is different from purple and they both are different from violet!

But there are blue butterflies, peacocks, berries and a few other animals with rich blue hues. So how do the true blue plants, animals, and minerals get their color if there is no actual blue compound? It’s all in how these organisms are built and this includes even those rocks which are blue! 

The color blue is the result of how light bounces off these structures – it’s actually called structural color! Light hits special structures on the cell, wing or other part of an organism that cause the wavelengths to bounce a certain way – in the very short wavelength way that results in the color blue! So they appear blue not because of Biology but physics! And on the subject of subjects, cinema is art and birthday celebrity Gary Leonard Oldman is a master! I still find it hard to believe that the Villain in the Fifth element is Detective Gordon in the Batman! 

Now wishing that a good night sleep will drive your blues away!

Shubh Ratri!

This ‘J’ company (sounds like a mafia family from Mumbai!) was founded by seven brothers: Giocondo, Frank, Rachele, Candido, Joseph, Gelindo and Valeriano, who were from Casarsa della Delizia in northern Italy (the mafia doubt again!). The brothers won a contract to provide propellers to the U.S. for World War I planes! 

But that is not the blog about! They all started as a machining company and worked on a citrus farm owned by an early aviation inventor!

They offered to help develop aviation products, creating an early wood propeller that was curved instead of flat and was used in World War I.

They also developed one of the first fully-enclosed cabins for airplanes, called the ‘J’ J-7, which was used to transport mail!

In 1921, a mail plane crashed, killing all of the passengers on board, including Giocondo Jacuzzi. With that shocking development the brothers subsequently abandoned the aviation industry and experimented with several other products, the first successful one being a water pump created by Rachele in 1926.

In 1948, Candido’s son Ken developed rheumatoid arthritis and had severe body pain with restricted movements. In a hospital visit to the Herrick Hospital, Candido saw how positively Ken responded to a smaller Hubbard tank! He then decided to develop a new and improved full body hydrotherapy pump, the J-300! The pump was a portable device that could turn any regular bathtub into a spa!

From 1968, a whirlpool bath was produced, which included jets that mixed air and water. This product (called the Roman Bath) was developed by Roy J, a 3rd-generation member of the family! This is considered the first whirlpool tub designed for relaxation, rather than for medical use.

Am sure you would have got to know the name of the ‘J’ by now!

Well, their original last name was Iacuzzi, but when the first two brothers immigrated from Italy to the US in 1907, immigration staff misspelt the first letter as J instead of L!

Yes! The name of the family and the portable bath and the hydrotherapy pump and the company is…Jacuzzi! After reading this you feel like taking a hot Jacuzzi bath! Unless like the Chota Pandit aka Rajpal Yadav in Bhool Bhulaiya you have been told to avoid water of course! Then only try dry cleaning!

Have a nice warm bath and sleep!

Good Night!

The sketch could have been better! Blog to the rescue!

Henry Judah was an American thoracic surgeon and medical researcher.

In 1962, Henry invented the chest drainage flutter valve (also known with his name!), and was granted a patent for the device in 1969. He was inspired by his experience of seeing a Chinese soldier die from a bullet wound to the chest. This valve was a lifesaver!
The design of the valve allows air and blood to drain from the chest cavity in order to allow a collapsed lung to re-expand.
The invention was credited with saving the lives of hundreds of American soldiers in the Vietnam War!

In respiratory medicine, the valve also Pneumostat valve is a one-way check valve used to prevent airflow back into a chest tube, and usually is applied to drain air from a pneumothorax which is an emergency.
The design of the flutter valve features a rubber sleeve in a plastic case, where the rubber sleeve is arranged so that when air flows through the valve the sleeve opens and allows the outwards airflow from the body of the patient; however, when the airflow is reversed, the rubber sleeve closes and halts backwards airflow into the body of the patient.

Now doctors and emergency physicians know him for this important invention but the general public know him for an act which makes sure that the person can avoid going to the emergency!

Henry first published his views about the action in an informal article, “Pop Goes the Cafe Coronary”, in the magazine Emergency Medicine on June 1, 1974.
It was later reported as “A leading surgeon invites the public to try a method he has developed for forcing out food stuck in the windpipe of persons choking to death,” in a story reprinted nationwide!

On June 19, 1974, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported that retired restaurant owner Isaac Piha, who had read the Snider article in the Seattle paper, used the procedure to rescue a choking victim, Irene Bogachus, in Bellevue, Washington, a story reprinted in other newspapers! Those two became the first two people to have been rescued by this act and subsequently this is one of the most popular and recommended life saving act recommended by the medical experts!

Did you get the act?
You will, once you know Henry’s full name!
His full name is Henry Judah Heimlich! And yes! The Heimlich maneuver!

Abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver or Heimlich manoeuvre, is a first-aid procedure used to treat upper-airway obstructions (or choking) by foreign objects.
To perform abdominal thrusts, a rescuer stands behind a choking victim and using the hands to exert pressure on the bottom of the diaphragm. This compresses the lungs and exerts pressure on the object lodged in the trachea in an effort to expel it.

Most modern protocols, recommend several stages for airway obstructions, designed to apply an increasing level of pressure.
Most protocols recommend encouraging the victim to cough, followed by hard back slaps, and finally abdominal thrusts or chest thrusts as a final resort. Some guidelines also recommend alternating between abdominal thrusts and back slaps. Some even advise chest thrusts especially for unconscious victims.

There are also specific situation in which it should not be performed like a drowning victim or if he or she has abdominal or chest injury. Remember that the act itself can sometimes cause more injury that the foreign body so it has to be done with caution. Many situation it does help but some need more help! Like if a person is stuck on the roof of a skyscraper then you may probably need to call the firefighters or maybe the Iron Man! Iron Man has been epitomized by Robert John Downey Jr who may have won the Oscar for Oppenheimer which is actually his most subdued movie! He is of course an inspiration and a perfect example of resilience and grit and of course a comeback of the century! My favorite movie though still remains ONLY YOU! This cute little movie had him with my fav Marisa Tomei!

Now eat your dinner slowly and do not speak while you eat!
Shubh ratri!

By the time I finish this blog and you read this blog, the numbers would have changed! The amount of data which is available on the net and otherwise is so vast that you cannot even imagine! It is of course akin to the fact that human population reached 8 billion on November 15, 2022 according to the latest United Nations estimates and in your lifetime, there is no way you can meet or see all the people of the world! 

An approximation of the number of people an average human would meet in his or her life time would be 80,000! That’s just 0.00102% of the world population. You never meet the remaining 99.999% of the population! That means that your generalization and conclusion of human actions and emotions is based on you meeting 0.001% of the world population! 

It is of course understood that your behavior is based on the interaction with a limited group of your close circle! You can also add videos and social media to that list! But even here the data is so vast that you can never see everything online ever in your life time! 

As of February 2024, there are almost 4 billion videos on YouTube, 20% of which are YouTube Shorts. Not to mention that 2,500 videos are uploaded onto YouTube every minute!

In fact, just to keep up with YouTube in real-time, taking the same average video length of 11.7 minutes, you’d need around 29,250 people watching simultaneously! 

But stop everything for now and if we watch the videos continuously then how long would it take to get through everything on there?

A calculation done for just around 800 million videos on the site with an average video length of around 11.7 minutes it was found that  it would take approximately 9.36 billion minutes to watch!

That’s 156 million hours, 6.5 million days, or a whopping 17,810 years of just watching YouTube videos! And that is for 800 million! Do not even bother to calculate for the 4 billion!

Now you like multitasking and can handle more than one screen or maybe two and ok, for now lets assume you are a Brainiac and you can simultaneously watch at least 100 screens going at the same time it would still take over 178 years to get through it all without any breaks in between!

Do not get disheartened by the mind boggling numbers! Just like how you can select only a limited number of people to meet, you can select a limited number of websites to visit or limited number of videos to watch! Especially the ones those are special in both people and video! A very special person also was Puneeth Rajkumar who was gone too soon. He will be missed.

Now you have doing a task which you cannot finish so stop scrolling and sleep!

Shubh ratri…

In this series called Aspirants which quite frankly is better than 12th fail in parts and frankly more accurate, there is a main character who does not want to continue a particular class because the teacher who is delivering the lecture did not himself clear the UPSC exam!

His justification is that how a teacher who did not himself clear the exam teach a bunch of students on how to clear the same!

It was logically correct but not entirely so since later on it is shown how the teacher who has failed can actually tell you what all things you should not do! This is like a mine field crossing! Every time a soldier ‘fails’ on the mine field, he or she has actually found out the position of the mine so that future soldiers can avoid that and probably succeed!

In most of the pyramid schemes in the pitch it is always told that “Do not ask your neighbor on how to get rich! If he knew that, he or she would not be your neighbor!”

This is where it has been shown that you must also learn from those who have failed! Their experience is sometimes more valuable than those who have succeed!

Another example of failure was in the early times a big success!

In fact it was one of my favorite messenger app! The days we used to spend on Yahoo talking and chatting and also video calling via the computer is still fresh on my memory! 

To think that their most famous program or app was not even the primary aim of the founders of Yahoo who actually were more interested in search engines and mail which were also pretty popular!

Founded by Jerry Yang and David Filo in January 1994, Yahoo began as a modest project called “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web.” 

Yahoo’s initial mission was to catalogue and categorize the rapidly expanding World Wide Web. At a time when search engines were virtually nonexistent, this directory of websites made it easier for users to navigate the rapidly expanding depths of the internet!

As the 1990s progressed, Yahoo evolved into more than just a directory. It ventured into providing a wide range of services, including email (Yahoo Mail), news (Yahoo News), and instant messaging (Yahoo Messenger). These services were integrated into the Yahoo portal, creating an all-in-one destination for Internet users! The association of our own word YAHOO made it even more relatable and we loved this site! 

By the early 2000s, Yahoo had become one of the most visited websites globally and it was not just a tech company – it had become an integral part of Internet culture!

So much so that, the founders of another emerging company waited in line to be bought by this tech giant for a mere 5 billion! Yahoo did not want this company and missed the opportunity! The other company of course is now one of the biggest tech giants in the world and you may be familiar to it! Yes, of course; Google!

So it did not buy Google but made several other non profitable and messy investments and finally spiraled down! The study of the failure of Yahoo is a must for any entrepreneur to know and learn and not make the same mistakes! Of course from being available for 5 billion, Google is now a  $1.761 trillion dollar giant! Giant in terms of experience and commitment also was General Bipin Rawat. You will be missed…

My quick Scribe dedication to the legend…

Shubh Ratri…

This was a major part of Disney’s Lion King (it is Rafiki the monkey’s house), Avatar (The place of Souls), Madagascar and the famous children’s novel The Little Prince!

This also is a prehistoric species which predates both mankind and the splitting of the continents over 200 million years ago! They can live for up to 5,000 years, reach up to 30 metres high and up to an enormous 50 metres in circumference! 

They can provide shelter, food and water for animals and humans, which is why many savannah communities have made their homes!

This majestic species is an icon of the African continent and lies at the heart of many traditional African remedies and folklore!

In fact each and every part of this is used for one thing or the other!

Sometimes they are so big that people have lived inside!

It is a tree!

The Baobab Tree! and is also called Africa’s Iconic “Tree of Life”!

While many people know of the baobab tree, not many people know that it has a fruit – and even less know that this fruit is one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world!

As mentioned above, every part of the baobab tree is valuable – the bark can be turned into rope and clothing, the seeds can be used to make cosmetic oils, the leaves are edible, the trunks can store water and the fruit is extraordinarily rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Women in Africa have turned to the baobab fruit as a natural source of health and beauty for centuries!

Baobab is the only fruit in the world that dries naturally on its branch. Instead of dropping and spoiling, it stays on the branch and bakes in the sun for 6 months – transforming its green velvety coating into a hard coconut-like shell! The pulp of the fruit dries out completely. This means the fruit simply needs to be harvested, deseeded and sieved to produce a delicious pure fruit powder!

Baobab trees grow in some of the driest, remotest and poorest parts of rural Africa. There is no such thing as a baobab plantation; every tree is community or family owned and wild-harvested.

An estimated 10 million households can provide baobab from the existing crop, that is so abundant it mainly goes to waste!

Mature trees have massive trunks that are bottle-shaped or cylindrical and tapered from bottom to top. The trunk is made of fibrous wood arranged in concentric rings, although rings are not always formed annually and so cannot be used to determine the age of individual trees. Tree diameter fluctuates with rainfall so it is thought that water may be stored in the trunk! 

Naturally hollow or excavated trunks often serve as water reserves or temporary shelters and have even been used as prisons, burial sites, and stables! Imagine a tree prison! Now breaking out of that may need some Golmaal and being a Lion or Singham! Which reminds me of Birthday Celebrity Rohit Shetty who like the Baobab tree is rooted to the ground!! 

Now Bark, I mean park yourself on your bed and sleep!

Good Night!
