Socrates and Plato are in the lobby of the office, waiting to go to the car park.
Plato: "It is raining."
Socrates: "To use weather in order to initiate a conversation is clichéd."
Plato: "Huh? No, it is indeed raining. "
Socrates opens his umbrella and starts walking towards the car park.
Plato runs after him, getting partially drenched.
Socrates (walking briskly with the umbrella): "Rain is just one of the million states of the atmosphere. "
Plato (trying to catch up): "Right."
Socrates: "Man is just one of the million states of life."
Plato: "Take a left now."
Socrates looks at Plato.
Plato: "Er...What a coincidence that one of the million states of atmosphere meets one of the million states of life!"
Socrates: "Coincidence is just one of the million states of probability."
Plato: "Greek again! Brilliant! "
They get into the car and subsequently join the traffic jam on the road.
PS: Dhi Only One does not blame last evening's showers for this makes-no-sense post.

sudeep>> Haha, hopefull. Unless they met Mr. Deve Gowda on the way.
this may not make any sense (according to you, at least), but it sure is a mind-boggling read!
kay>> :-) Mind-boggling cos its Greek? :-)
Excellent. I have been reading this over and over again and its keeps getting more beautiful after every read.
I demand Zorba the greek to be brought into the plot.
Btw, this was not a mind boggling post - it was a beautiful juxtaposition of the concepts of math, philosophy and environment science.
Jai ho!
I like this a lot more than any other conversation that you have written between Socrates n Plato. Very good post
