Getting started...

A random conversation between Nitin(henceforth called Bhatta) and his cubicle neighbour Manu.....

Manu: Do you read poems?
Bhatta: Poems???!! GOD! Noo....

Silence...
Two minutes later, Bhatta gets a mail from Manu with the subject line "Grooks by Piet-Hein", which is to change the lives of Bhatta and Jitha forever.....
The first grook went thus:

*
A psychological tip*


Whenever you're called on to make up your mind
and you're hampered by not having any,
the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find
is simply by spinning a penny.

No - not so that chance shall decide the affair
while you're passively standing there moping;
but the moment the penny is up in the air
you suddenly know what you're hoping.

Brilliant!
Immediately, Bhatta lets Jitha know what grooks are and Jitha, just as jobless as Bhatta is, comes up with the eye-popping idea of writing grooks of their own!
Hence starts the tale of two innocent lives.. Bhatta and Jitha... and a blog...

Henceforth most of the grooks in the blog will be self-composed. Due credit will be given to the appropriate person, living or dead, whenever and wherever 'inspiration' or 'ideas' are taken from him/her.
Anyone reading the blog is welcome to come up with grooks and your name will be duly published!
