The collateral damage of COVID-19

Now we have to recycle all these bottles. Pretty impressive build up, I would say, given that the recycling centers have been closed for only 10-12 weeks. A few things I learnt from Sharmila…

Apparently, you have to sort out those bottles by color before recycling. I am surprised that once glass gets incinerated and repurposed, the color is retained or that it even matters.

This one takes the cake for me… I always thought those wine bottles were black (or at least blackish) in color. Hold them up to some light and you will realize that most of them are greenish!!

Did I mention Niki and I are the two biggest nerds?

A week back, I was at a coffee shop and saw this board. Finding the play on words very funny, I took a picture and could not wait to share a laugh with Nikita when I came back home.

Me (handing her the phone): Read this, you will get a laugh.

She (read it, frowned and went): Why a noun? That should be a verb.

Me (snatched back the phone from her): Huh? Right! That too present continuous verb at that.

Dad and daughter walked away convinced it was not that funny after all!!
