Chor-Pharn Law

Chor-Pharn Law works like gravity — indifferent, reliable, and entirely unimpressed by your excuses.

Laws of this kind are really observations that refused to go away. Enough people bumped into the same wall that someone finally painted a sign. This page is the sign.

The village panchayat and the housing society meeting are the same animal in different clothes: five people deciding, fifty people complaining, and everyone leaving wiser than the minutes suggest.

Society is a long conversation; the only question is whether you are listening or merely waiting to speak. The idea has done its job if, the next time it happens to you, you smile before you react.
