Fwd: STUDENT WHO OBTAINED 0% ON AN EXAM

Few of the Best Answers from the Lateral Thinking perspective.  I am sure this Student would flourish for his out of Box thinking and not just restricting to the old school of Bookish teachings.... I liked the answers that certainly can't be challenged, hence thought of asking you all to evaluate ;)

Balance - A Joke I recd.

Balance is the Story as God Told the Archangel. I couldn't stop myself from Posting it on my blog as it really represents the Balance of things God has created. Hats off to the mind behind this set of thoughts....
____________________________________________________________________
*Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven , God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God. "Where have you been?"*****
*
God took a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through
the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made!" Archangel Michael looked
puzzled and said, "What is it?" "It's a planet," replied God, "and I've
put Life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great
place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example,
northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth while
southern Europe is going to be poor. Over there I've placed a continent of
white people and over there is a continent of black people,"*****
*
God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely
hot, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice." *****
*The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a triangular
land mass and said, "What's that one?" "AAAAH," said God. "That's India,
the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, mountains,
streams, hills, waterfalls and vineyards. *****
* *****
*The people from India are going to be very beautiful, handsome,
modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling
the world holding good jobs.....*****
* *****
*They will be extremely sociable, hardworking and high-achieving, and
they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of
peace, play cricket and win world test matches.*****
* *****
*Even their Knowledge and wisdom will be appreciated and exported to far
places." Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then proclaimed,
"What about balance, God? You said there would be balance!"
God replied wisely, **"Wait until you see the clowns that will run their government!!!."*****

FW: Why India Works

The Title Must be - WHY INDIA ROCKS, but posting it in its Originality

- Hide quoted text -

I trust you have the objectivity to realise that when things 'really' work, there is seldom if ever, any government hand.

The article which came out many years ago was a bit spoilt in this instance by the THOUGHT at the end. Pure BS, specially the first sentence. 
Unfortunately, whilst most think such sentiments profound, in actuality they have refrained from thinking in their lives.

WHY INDIA WORKS - written by internationally acclaimed film director Shekhar Kapoor. A small fading sign saying “Cellphoon reapars” barely visible through the street vendors crowding the Juhu Market in Mumbai.   On my way to buy a new Blackberry, my innate sense of adventure made me stop my car and investigate.  A shop not more than 6 feet by 6 feet.  Grimy and un-cleaned. “Can you fix a Blackberry?” “Of course, show me.” “How old are you?” “Sixteen”.  Bullshit.  He was no more than 10. Not handing my precious Blackberry to a 10 year old in unwashed and torn T shirt and pajamas! At least if I buy a new one, they would extract the data for me.  Something I have been meaning to do for a year now. “What’s wrong with it?” “Well, the roller track ball does not respond.  It’s kind of stuck and I cannot operate it” He grabs it from my hand and looks at it “You should wash your hands.  Many customers have same problem.  Roller ball gets greasy and dirty, then no working”. Look who was telling me to wash my hands.  He probably has not bathed for 10 days, I leaned out to snatch my useless Blackberry back… “You come back in one hour and I fix it”. I am not leaving all my precious data in this unwashed kid’s hands for an hour.  No way. “Who will fix it?” “Big brother”. “How big is ‘big brother?’?” “Big …. Umm  ...thirty”. Then suddenly big brother walks in.  30???  He is no more than 19. “What problem?” He says grabbing the phone from my greasy hand into his greasier hand.  Obviously not trained in etiquette by an up market retail store manager. “Normal Blackberry problem.  I replace with original part now.  You must wash your hand before you use this”. What is this about me washing my hands suddenly? 19 year old big brother rummages through a dubious drawer full of junk and fishes out a spare roller ball packed in cheap cellophane wrapper. Original part?  I doubt it.  But by now I am in the lap of the real India and there is no escape as he fishes out a couple of screwdrivers and sets about opening my Blackberry. “How long will this take?” ”Six minutes”. This I have to see.  After spending the whole morning trying to find a Blackberry service center and getting vague answers about sending the phone in for an assessment that might take a week,  I settle down next to his grubby cramped work space.  At least I am going to be able to watch all my stored data vanish into virtual space.  People crowd around to see what’s happening.  I am not breathing easy anyway.  I tell myself this is an adventure and literally have to stop myself grabbing my precious Blackberry back and making a quick escape.   But in exactly six minutes this kid handed my Blackberry back.  He had changed the part and cleaned and serviced the whole phone.  Taken it apart, and put it together.   As I turned the phone on there was a horrific 2 minutes where the phone would not come on.  I looked at him with such hostility that he stepped back. “You have more than thousand phone numbers?” “Yes”. “Backed up?” “No” “Must back up. I do it for you.  Never open phone before backing up”. “You tell me that now?” But then the phone came on and my data was still there.  Everyone watching laughed and clapped. This was becoming a show.  A six minute show.  I asked him how much. “500 rupees”. He ventured uncertainly.  People around watched in glee expecting a negotiation. That’s $10 dollars as against the Rs 30,000 ($600) I was about to spend on a new Blackberry or a couple of weeks without my phone.  I looked suitably shocked at his ‘high price’ but calmly paid him. Much to the disappointment of the expectant crowd “Do you have an i-Phone?  Even the new ‘4D one”? “No, why”? “I break the code for you and load any ‘app’ or film (movies) you want.  I give you 10 film on your memory stick on this one, and change every week for small fee”. I went home having discovered the true entrepreneurship that lies at what we call the ‘bottom of the pyramid’.  Some may call it piracy, which of course it is, but what can you say about two uneducated and untrained brothers aged 10 and 19 that set up a ‘hole in the wall’ shop and can fix any technology that the greatest technologists in the world can throw at them.  I smiled at the future of our country. If only we could learn to harness this potential. “Please wash your hands before use” were his last words to me.  Now I am feeling seriously unclean.  THOUGHT ; God works in mysterious ways to feed the illiterate,  in the streets of India .  Imagine, what if these poor kids had some education....I feel nothing but great admiration for these kids !!!

Fwd: Conversation between an IITian & rickshaw puller

I keep receiving a lot of forwards and I normally check the subject before even opening the email.   Though when I read the subject of this email, I was not too sure if it would be worth reading, but then opened the email.  I read on and as I read further, more interesting the conversation seemed to me.  So thought of posting this to the Blog rather than just circulating around in the chain mail.  Read On as the stuff is really interesting.
 ____________________________________________________________
There were two rickshaw-walas vying for our business when we wanted to go to Sankat-Mochan temple in Benaras. I agreed to go with the one who was about 20, seemed like a regular young rickshaw-wala, but I found something interesting about this fellow in his eyes. I was not proved wrong.
He wanted Rs 50, we said Rs 30. We settled for 40.
Here are the highlights of the conversation that ensued while he rode the rickshaw:
"aap kahan se aaye hain"
"Delhi"
"bijness ya kaam karte hain?"
"naukri karte hain"
"kismein"
"internet mein"
"humara bhi kuch wahin kaam lagwa do"
I just chuckled
"main try kar raha hoon engineering padhne kee. achchi naukri lag jaayegi tab"
"achcha?" I asked a little interested
"haan, delhi mein Guru Gobind Singh Indraprashta University mein engineering ke liye apply kara hai. achchi hai woh university"
"haan, achchi hai", I agreed.
"haan, kal hee maine JEE bhi diya"
"JEE matlab, IIT ka?"
"haan, Joint Entrance Examination" he pronounced it perfectly just to make it clear to me what JEE stood for. "mushkil hota hai exam"
"haan, 2 saal toh log padhte hee hain uske liye, asaan nahin hai" I carried on the conversation
"Delhi mein Akaash coaching institute hain na?"
"haan, hai"
"aapne kya padhai kari?"
"main engineer hoon, aur phir mba bhi kiya"
"kahan se engineer?"
"IIT delhi se"
He swung back, surprised, a little delighted, and smiled. "Ok, aapke liye Rs 30"
Swati and I laughed
Swati asked "padhai kab karte they IIT ke liye"
"bas, rickshaw chalaane ke baad raat mein". Then he added "kismein engineering kari aapne?"
"Chemical"
"toh aapki chemistry toh badi strong hogi"
"nahin, aisa nahin hai"
He continued "yeh bataiye....jab Mendeleev ne Periodic Table banaya tha tab kitne elements they usmein?"
Now it was my turn to get surprised. He was quizzing me. I said "shayad 70-80"
"no, 63" he said sharply. "kaunse element kee electronegativity highest hai?"
Swati was laughing, and I didnt try too hard and said "pata nahin"
"Flourine", he said confidently. Without a break he asked,"kaunse element kee electron affinity highest hoti hai?"
Now I was laughing too and said "nahin pata"
"Chlorine. toh aapka kaunsa subject strong tha?" clearly having proven that my chemistry wasnt a strong point
"Physics", I said
"achha, Newton's second law of motion kya hai"
I knew this one I thought, "F=ma" I said
"Physics is not about formula, it is understanding concept!"  he reprimanded me in near perfect english. "Tell me in statement"
I was shocked. Swati continued to laugh.
I said "ok, Newtons second law, er....was...."
" 'was' nahin, 'is'!Second law abhi bhi hai!" he snapped at my use of 'was'
Surely, my physics wasnt impressing him either. "yaad nahin, I said"
"Force on an object is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the acceleration of the object", he said it in near perfect english. "aapne mtech nahin kiya?"
"nahin, mba kiya"
"mba waale toh sirf paisa kamana chahte hain, kaam nahin karte"
"nahin, aisa nahin hai, paisa kamaane ke liye kaam karna padta hai"
He said "arrey, rehene do"  or some words to that effect. He didnt think too highly of me apparently anymore.
In a minute we reached our destination. We got off and I told him that he must and should definitely study more, and that I think he is sharp as hell. He took only Rs 30, smiled and began to leave. I got my camera out and said "Raju, ek photo leta hoon tumhari". He waved me off, dismissed the idea and rode off before I could say anything more....leaving me feeling high and dry like a spurned lover. Damn, what a ride that was! India is changing, and changing fast.

Fwd: Interesting Facts on Religion..

The interesting Facts of Religion, that I would love to share with all.  This indeed is something which we need to and must look at.

After reading this, certainly we should be proud of our religion, which is not just a religion but is full of traditions and culture to follow and it would be called as a Way of Life.

Our religion has the history of accepting good deeds and things from across the world including the Invaders to our land.  We even hugged them and made them feel comfortable and at home with the generosity we have.  Its time to relook at our history and culture to help establish peace.

Cheers and read-on

Interesting Facts on Religion Very Interesting facts!   1.  Christianity …. One Christ, One Bible Religion… Right, now let us see the facts:   You know the Latin Catholic will not enter Syrian Catholic Church. These two will not enter Marthoma Church . These three will not enter Pentecost Church . These four will not enter Salvation Army Church. These five will not enter Seventh Day Adventist Church . These six will not enter Orthodox Church. These seven will not enter Jacobite church.   Like this there are 146 castes in Kerala alone for Christianity, Each will never share their churches for fellow Christians. . !   Wonderful... ! One Christ, One Bible, One Jehova... ..What a unity!     2.  Now Muslims..!  One Allah, One Quran, One Nabi....! Great unity! Now let us see the facts:   Among Muslims, Shia and Sunni kill each other in all the Muslim countries. The religious riot in most Muslim countries is always between these two sects. The Shia will not go to Sunni Mosque.. These two will not go to Ahamadiya Mosque. These three will not go to Sufi Mosque. These four will not go to Mujahiddin mosque. Like this it appears there are 13 castes in Muslims. Killing / bombing/conquering/ massacring/. .. each  other !   The American attack to 20th Muslim land of Iraq is fully supported by all the Muslim countries surrounding  Iraq !   One Allah, One Quran, One Nabi....! What great unity !   All Muslims are not terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims. 60% of all victims of Muslim terrorism are Muslims themselves. In the Mujahdeen bomb attack in the Friday prayers in Khyber, all the hundred odd victims were Muslims, killed by a Muslim.    3. Hindus    1,280 Religious Books, 10,000 Commentaries,  more than one lakh sub-commentaries for these foundation books, 330 million gods, variety of Aacharyas, thousands of Rishis, hundreds of languages... still everyone goes to the SAME TEMPLE ...whether unity is for Hindus or others…?   Hindus never quarreled each other for the last ten thousand years in the name of religion. Only politicians had tried to divide and rule… Keep religion out of politics and India will be the most peaceful place on earth.

Mood of the hour

"Forgiving a terrorist is left to God,

But

fixing their appointment with God

is our responsibility"

this was a forward received by me and I thought the best place to display it would be my blog :)
