An Idle Mind



Would Newton have discovered the laws of gravity if, instead of an apple, an orange had fallen on his head? (I'm chewing a rather rubbery, dried out fossil of an orange as I type this)

Would Bill Gates have become whet he is had he attended college?

Would Mohandas K Gandhi have become the Mahatma if he was permitted to travel in that first class coach in South Africa?

What would have happened if Mir Jafar had been given the promotion he was expecting by Siraj ud Daulah instead of having been demoted? 

Come to think of it, what would have happened if the 2G telecom scandal NOT happened? Telecom prices, internet surfing - and, ergo, THIS blog - may have remained beyond our reach.

Vive la scams, vive idle minds......
