The sometimes-ignominious lamp post… As the advertising guru David Ogilvy put it…”People use statistics as a drunk uses a lamp post – for support rather than illumination.”
I checked out the statistics for this lamp post illumination… it was out of order 46 times out of 100!
Posted for the Mundane Monday Challenge.
With that statistics you have waited really long or got very lucky to get the shot with the lights on.. 😉

So you finally got the image for the post. And to have taken out time to research into the stats, cool! 😀

Yes, finally. Also, because it is the last moment that ensures that everything gets done. That’s Parkinson’s Law, by the way 😀

Never heard of his law, aware of the disease though! I think that law applies to all chronic procrastinators like us. 😀

I’m one of those too. Just because I put up the photograph early doesn’t put me in the early riders club (although that’s one less problem to handle 😀 ).

And completely describes that particular time of the day. Say, would you like to create a post or two in Hindi?

Ha ha. I haven’t finished the one in English! Although I am back but still need rest to recover from the hectic vacationing 😉
On a serious note, my proficiency in Hindi is just average (maybe, less than). I can only cheer you on.

Hectic vacationing. I think we need a post on that. Would be paradoxically wonderful, wouldn’t it?
I thought you might want to try your hands on Hindi. Not right now, but sometime in the not-too-distant future. As for me, well, let’s see what I can come up with.

I think you can do that paradoxical post better for it was you who had pointed out the paradox in the first place 🙂 I would definitely want to do a post in Hindi but I guess you’ll have to guide me at every step. Let’s think it over after you are free in a few days.

That’d be unfair, wouldn’t it, me writing the post when you’re the one who’s had all the experiences?
I’m ready to help whichever way I can for your post in Hindi. That’s another one for the collaborations we’ve planned. Hopefully we’ll be able to work on both of them. I’ll mail you in a week about that. 🙂

Thank you for the pointer. I’ll try to follow the rule of thirds.
However, statistically, only 23% of ‘my’ photos taken till now take that into account 😉
