Two sides of the same coin

February 13, 2011 post

For example: We read newspaper or when we watch a news channel.

Our opinions are formed on the basis of what journalist has shown, but thats only the one side. We are yet to see the other side.

This happens to each and every story and incident of our life.

Like:

We all know Mahatma Gandhi and Adolf Hitler. Two completely different personalities. But they had one thing in common ——- LOVE FOR THIER COUNTRY.

Mahatma Gandhi believed in non-violence and Adolf Hitler was totally opposite. In the process of achieving freedom for their respective countries many people were killed.

Though Gandhi believed non-violence, there was violence while the freedom struggle was going on in India and many people were killed…. though indirectly.

In Hitler’s case, we can say that the same thing was done directly. There was a world war and people were killed….

Today, when people think of Hitler, they get angry or find him a negative character. But, i think the feelings of Hitler and Gandhi were same!!

This is just one example.. Each and every story has 2 sides and most of the times we fail to see the other side. We need to turn the coin or move towards the other side of the coin to see it.

Social media, People and the Government

February 11, 2011 post

Fascinating about Egypt that there was no leader that became the instrument of change. No Gandhi, Mandela, Martin Luther King was needed to lead Egypt to revolt. Just the people.
Social Media brought people together in Egypt. And that’s what scares other governments

When there is a popular uprising without a central focus who does the state imprison, execute ? Egypt shut down the internet !
Can the Indian Govt shut down the internet? Can a popular uprising b caused by social media, or are we too cricket and bollywood obsessed?

Well guess, In India not social media but thirst will cause a revolution. 30% of Indians spend their lives looking for water
And what about the 70% indian population that lives on less than $2 a day ?? and the mutli thousand crore rich politicians ?

Heights of Misunderstanding

February 8, 2011 post

Mr. Sharma comes home one night, and his wife throws her arms around his neck:

“I have great news: I’m a month overdue. I think we’re going to have a baby!

The doctor gave me a test today, but until we find out for sure, we can’t tell anybody.”

The next day, Mrs. Sharma receives a telephone call from Reliance Energy because the electricity bill has not been paid.

” Am I speaking to Mrs. Sharma? ”

“Yes… speaking”

Reliance guy, “You’re a month overdue, you know!”

“How do YOU know?” stammers the young woman.

“Well, ma’am, it’s in our files!” says the Reliance guy.

“What are you saying? It’s in your files …HOW?????”

” Yes ………… . We have a system of finding out who’s overdue ”

” GOD!!!!!!… …… This is too much…….. ..”

“Madam, I am sorry… I am following orders…. I
have to inform you are overdue”

“I know that … let me talk to my husband about this tonight. ….. He will speak to your company tomorrow ”

That night, she tells her husband about the incident, and he, mad as a bull, rushes to Reliance office the next day morning.

“What’s going on? You have it on file that my wife is a month overdue?

What business is that of yours?” the husband shouts.

“Just calm down,” says the lady at the reception at Reliance, “it’s nothing serious. All you have to do is pay us.”

“PAY you? And if I refuse?”

“Well, in that case, sir, we’d have no option but to cut yours off.”

“And what would my wife do then?” the husband asks.

“I don’t know. I guess she’d have to use a candle.”

“The best presents don’t come in boxes.”

“Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend.”

“There’s more to this world than just people, you know.”

“To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.”

“If you do the job badly enough, sometimes you don’t get asked to do it again.”

“In my opinion, we don’t devote nearly enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks.”

“As far as I’m concerned, if something is so complicated that you can’t
explain it in 10 seconds, then it’s probably not worth knowing anyway.”

“Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous?”

“There’s never enough time to do all the nothing you want.”

“Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.”

“If you couldn’t find any weirdness, maybe we’ll just have to make some!”

“There’s no problem so awful that you can’t add some guilt to it and make it even worse!”

“There’s an inverse relationship between how good something is for you, and how much fun it is.”

“The worst part is that I don’t even have the fun of doing the things I’m getting blamed for.”

“I’d hate to have a kid like me.”

“I swear I’m an Angel…….the Horns are just an Accessory!”

Tampons Wonder

February 5, 2011 post

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.

The man at the counter asked the older boy, “Son, how old are you?”

“Eight,” the boy replied.

The man continued, “Do you know what these are used for?”

The boy replied, “Not exactly, but they aren’t for me. They’re for him. He’s my brother. He’s four. We saw on TV that if you use these, you would be able to swim and ride a bike. Right now, he can’t do either one. “

House of 1000 Mirrors

February 3, 2011 post

Long ago in a small, far away village, there was place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often.”

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
