Navtej Kohli still recalls his first visit to the dentist. I think most of us do!
This funny cartoon on Navtej Kohli blog goes well with this famous quote by Ogden Nash:
Some tortures are physical
And some are mental,
But the one that is both
Is dental.
Navtej Kohli is an avid birder. Below are some useful birding slang complied by Navtej Kohli for those who have just started to gain their birding wings.
Bird watching as a hobby is taking a flight amid nature lovers. Avid birders are acquainted with the intricate terminology of bird watching, better known as birding slang, but beginners usually get confused on hearing these unfamiliar words. So, if you are about to take bird watching as a hobby, you must at least know some basic terms and their meanings:
1. Tick: any species that you spot should wind up on your birding list, and those species that you have never seen before will wind up on your “tick list.” There are various types of tick lists ranging from “garden ticks” to “trip ticks,” but the idea here is to note anything new.
2. Lifer: if you spot a lifer, you are truly blessed. A “lifer” is a bird that you have never laid eyes on before. Lifers cannot include birds that you have seen while traveling, and they must be birds that you never thought you would lay eyes upon.
3. Sibe: a “sibe” is a bird that usually resides in Siberia, but during a flight this type of bird became lost and wound up near your home. The interesting thing is that sibes usually go unnoticed, since these birds are usually rather plain to look at.
4. BOP: a BOP is easily identifiable as a “bird of prey,” but many people hardly notice them at all when they are soaring hundreds of feet in the air. Birds of prey are truly magnificent animals, so keep your eyes towards the sky for your next BOP sighting.
5. Seawatching: this type of birding really takes a lot of patience. Seawatching is, exactly, as it sounds - watching for birds while sitting near the sea. Seawatchers spend hours perched upon a rocky cliff in order to spot rare birds, and most of the time seawatchers usually wind up spend the day alongside a seagull or two.
However, you don’t need to learn these terms by heart, but it’s just that you should know some most common words. Though the words mentioned above are some of the more common terms, there are literally hundreds of other bird watching terms out there, so don’t worry about memorizing all of them. As with any other sport, birders are rather proud of their exclusive world, so it only makes sense that there are numerous words to go along with the many magnificent birds that exist on the planet.
A neighbour of a newly wed couple was worried when she didn’t hear her rather noisey neighbours for a while. A few days later, she peered through their letterbox and through the windows. But there was no sign of anyone. Concerned for the young couple, she called the police. The officers promptly broke down the door, then searched the house. Only to find the young women gagged and tied to the bed. Her husband was lying unconscious on the floor, wearing a Superman Outfit. They later explain that they had been engaged in a superhero role-playing fantasy, and the costumed husband had knocked himself out attempting to jump onto his wife from atop the dresser. Of course, the woman was unable to help him!
A drunk staggered into a Pennsylvania ER complaining of severe pain while trying to remove his contact lenses. He said that they would come out halfway, but they always popped back in. A nurse tried to help using a suction pump, but without success. Finally, a doctor examined him and discovered the man did not have his contact lenses in at all. He had been trying to rip out the membrane of his cornea.
A 63 year old widow was admitted to the hospital in Recife, Brazil, suffering abdominal pains. X-rays showed that she was carrying a 20 inch long skeleton of a foetus which she conceived a decade earlier. It had become lodged outside the womb and was never expelled from her body.
Once during a complete physical exxam, including the visual acuity test. a patient was placed twenty feet from the chart and began, “Cover your right eye with your hand.” He read the 20/20 line perfectly. “Now your left.” Again, a flawless read. “Now both,”. There was silence. He couldn’t even read the large E on the top line. The doctor turned and discovered that he had done exactly what was asked; he was standing there with both his eyes covered.

It’s always fun to have a hobby in life. The world of hobbies is an endless array of possibilities just waiting to be explored by you. Though, I have many hobbies but the one that keeps my creative juices flowing is dollhouse making.
The dollhouse is part and parcel of the child’s life, and it has emerged from its humble beginnings to be considered a work of art. Being an engineer construction has always been my forte. If you too enjoy building and constructing things, dollhouses could be the one for you.
For beginner, it is best to begin with a dollhouse kit. These can be found at any arts and crafts store and offer a wide array of choices. Dollhouses can be made to resemble period homes, such as Victorian-style buildings, or even your own home. My favorite is Victorian-style. A Dollhouse can be a lot more than just a typical “house.” You can make yours into a post office, a hotel, a restaurant, pub, a shop and even a hospital.
Once you pick up a kit, the next step is to figure out what you want to add to the dollhouse to make it unique. Some builders like to keep things simple, using wood or left-over pieces of material from housing projects. Other individuals like to make their homes elaborate and will use high-end materials like slate or brick. The choice is up to you.
Once the structure is constructed, the real fun can begin. Pick out your favorite paint colors, wallpaper prints, and flooring. You can also purchase or make furniture to fill out your dollhouse, depending on the type of detail you want, some dollhouses are also outfitted with lighting accessories.
Now when your dollhouse is constructed and all the work is finished, you have several options open. You can keep the house for any children you have or you can just display it in your home as a showpiece. You can also sell your work of art and make a return on what you invested in it. I usually donate the house to local charity auctions or orphanages.
So the next time you are trying to figure what you want to do with your spare time, give the idea of making dollhouses a whirl. You may end up finding a passion you never knew existed, like i did!

Navtej Kohli is passionate about adventure sports. On this Navtej Kohli blog, he reveals his zealous side too…
If you’re living the same mind-numbing clock-in clock-out life, you certainly need to change the way you live. Come out of bed and get your skates on, we are going on an escapade!
I wonder what life without adventure is. I think it’s somewhat like a pizza without topping, or a cake without icing, for that matter. How come people don’t feel or experience fear at all?
Adventure sports don’t require extreme courage or guts, as most of people think it does. I’m not a super-brave person; in fact like most of you I have fear of fast speed, heights and so many things that defy normal life. Adventure sports are a great way to overcome your inhibitions and chop off your fears. What if you are afraid, at least give it a try. And take my words, you will soon realize what fun you were missing on. Some of the most spine-chilling adventure sports include skydiving. Oh what fun it is to fly in the sky freely, as if it belongs to you. Rock climbing is another nerve-knotting type of adventure. Think of those virgin peaks and rocky surface, its exhilarating!
Well if you ask, what’s my favorite? My vote would go to water sports, without a second thought. It encapsulates a whole array of sports from parasailing, rafting, jet-skiing to windsurfing.
You might be thinking, I’m not made for adventure sports. But once you get out of the cocoon, you will see a world full of spills waiting for you. Be a game for life, as it is said ‘There are no thrills without spills.’
Navtej Kohli cracks one more hilarious gag that will tickle your ribs for sure!
A famous psychiatrist told his wife: “I feel down today, I am going to see my colleague.”
Wife: ” But! you are the best psychiatrist, aren’t you?”
Psychiatrist: ” Yes! I know! But my colleague charges less than I do!”
