Dream Cash Run

What will be the reaction of the People: when they hear that more cash could be made with an ATM.

A leading and large network bank in India was in shock when one of its ATMs started dispensing  extra cash, almost double the amount keyed in by the ATM users. 

As word spread like wildfire, crowds thronged the kiosk to collect their booty or loot. The machine was giving away INR 10000 against INR5000 requested by the card holder.

The free-for-all  began in the morning and lasted till 10 pm in the night when the bank officials,sensing the depletion of their money,sought the service of police to shut down the ATM.

The cops swiftly cleared the mob,though INR 450000 was withdrawn by that time.

With the help of the camera recordings, the bank is now tracing out and recovering the excess money from those who took the money.

The technical fault " Loading INR1000 in the tray for INR500" is reported to be the cause of the above bizzarae incident.

Symmetry in A Cemetery

All graves are identical and have the details like Name of Soldier,Regiment number and emblem, the emblem of the religion and a personal epitaph.

Madras War (Second World War) Cemetery

This is the uniformity and order being followed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC  in United Kingdom)  which  commemorates  the 1,700,000 men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the two world wars.These cemeteries may have different entrance arches, layouts and pergolas but two things stay the same across the world- the Cross of Sacrifice and Stone Remembrance, both made of Portland cement stone.

Red light area

This phrase was first recorded in the US around 1890.

It is derived from the practice of sex workers placing a red light at the window to indicate to their customers.

The term is also traced to the time when  railroad workers took red lanterns with them when they visited the brothels so their crew could find them in case of emergency.

Japanese police drew a redline on maps to indicate the boundaries of red light areas.

Act of Goodwill

One doctor waived the fees for the cesarian delivery of a girl child by a local lady. Moreover the doctor gave away the medications free of cost. 

The husband of the lady is a poor peon in a local dairy. The expenses were a huge sum for him.

As the child born is girl, the doctor made it free and intended to help the poor parents save the money which in turn could be used for educating the girl.

The parents since deposited the money thus saved in the name of that girl.

This happened in Gujarat state,India where the sex ratio is skewed at 886 girls per 1000 boys.

Sensing the social implications of this phenomenon,  this doctor has been contributing in the manner described herein above.

Well done Dr Prajapati .

Police Job is a Wedding Gift

Wonder,how it could happen.

No fairy tale. Real incident that happened in India.

A scandal in the recruitment of police constables was exposed when a police constable was arrested.
The guy got the job as a marriage gift from the father-in-law who made a deal with the concerned agent to select him. A proxy candidate wrote the written exam for which half a million appeared for 4025 posts.

The sum paid to the agent was about $10000.

World is getting worser day by day: corruption grows geometrically.

Love is Better: Before or After Marriage ?

Love is the loveliest of all human emotions. Because it produces more solace and happiness to all the parties involved. Imagine our world without "LOVE". No purpose in life itself is found .Everything will be in "Chaos".

Love need not be between persons. It can be for anything like Work, Books, Nature, Animals,Solitude,etc..

Love is the common expression and takes different forms depending upon the relationships and status of individuals. 
-  Relationships exist as Parents-Children, Sister-Brother, Husband-Wife, Friends, Colleagues, Teacher-Pupil,etc...
-  Status refers to the stage in which an individual is placed as Childhood, Adolescence, Adult.

However, Love in the modern age is used to represent the affairs that develop before a person's marriage.

In that context, let us examine which is better?     Love, Before or After Marriage

Generally People tend to show much enthusiasm before marriage : reasons can be any. The intensity of such love fades away after the marriage. That is why many people falling under this category end up in divorce or other decisions.

People loving their partner after wedlock  maintains it generally. With some relationships growing sour over time due to Loss of Trust and misunderstanding that emerge due to internal or exterior reasons. People of this category have respect for the family institution.

My view is " Keep Loving Your Partner Always. Give and Take must be the key "









Avoid Procrastination

Procrastination is like a disease that spoils a person’s life .

We all suffer from it at varying degrees throughout our lives and hence, I consider it a disease for the impact it has on lives. 

Lost opportunities, regrets, depression to name a few.

There’s always the feeling that what is due now can be done later and feels better doing later. Kill that thought immediately , prioritize your tasks and get them done without much fuss and rush.

Our habits and thoughts have to be trained  like a bodybuilder or athlete to cultivate the habit of doing continuous work on time. 

When an amazing idea or a cool new thought popped in your mind, don’t put it off, get it done now.
Here also when more than one occurs, jot down them in a piece of paper or smartphone or tablet.

As you go through the motion of putting your plan in action, all sorts of doubts about the idea and your abilities will flow through your mind, ignore them and push on. Ignore the fear of failure as there is no such thing as failure if you keep moving.

Respect All


Now understand....each person is intelligent in their own way...Let's respect everybody..whether small or big...poor or rich, young or old.



This guy is clever to use the helmet for avoiding tears due to the onion  that he cuts.

Each individual or creature in nature has its own mechanism to survive safely in this world.

Funeral Wish..

We know about the history of  Egyptian mummies......so much of life essentials, luxuries,etc...were buried along with the mummies.....inside the great pyramids. Might be to take care of the life after death.

Recently, I read in the daily about two extraordinary funerals.

The body of Bill Stanley, a motorcycle lover, was secured to his 1967 Harley Davidson bike and kept inside a transparent box during funeral procession . This was done to fulfill his wish .


The case of boxer is different. At his funeral, he looked ready to fight , leaning against the corner of a look alike boxing ring.

Weird ...people ..even after being dead.

Facebook

Facebook is into 10th year.

The membership of this social networking site has grown to the extent of the size of a country.
And still growing.....
The chief factors that contributed to this enormous growth are
- easy interface
- quick means of spreading any news, information , pics, etc...
- widest reach

Owing to the above factors, even corporates and businesses have set up their own pages so that their marketing and growth would pick up.

But the main drawback of this medium is that the posts made in the site are derogatory and sensitive in nature. There is no control over this attitude which has led to the situation of some persons committing suicide .

Let us use FB for constructive and informative use only.

Environment & Cancer

World Cancer Day is celebrated on 4th February of every year.

Besides  Heredity and Habits , Environment also plays a crucial role in the spread of cancer.

Use of pesticides and constant inhalation of harmful materials is found to cause the cancer.

Cancer is a condition where our body cells proliferate abnormally. Such condition is induced when we get exposed repeatedly to the chemicals in the fruits and vegetables grown on plants and trees sprayed with pesticides. 

Likewise, the regular exposure  in a place covered with asbestos , saw dust, coal dust, etc...will also trigger the lung and nasopharangeal cancer. The classic example of  Bhopal (India) gas tragedy due to the leak of poisonous gas leak from Union Carbide factory led to the development of cancer in various forms. 

Technology and Development comes at a heavy price: because they add wealth and also trigger new methods of death also.

Just for Airport Meals

A Chinese man bought a first-class fully refundable plane ticket and re-booked it 300 times for the sake of having free meals at the VIP lounge of an airport in China.

Every time the man flashed his ticket to the lounge staff, ate a meal just like any traveller and instead of boarding the flight , he would  change his trip to another day. That day he would show up with his new ticket , enjoy the meals and again change his day of travel.

He repeated this over and gain for 300 times .ALL FOR EATING THE MEAL PROVIDED AT THE VIP LOUNGE.

The airline authorities only recently figured out the scheme of this man but they could not avoid making the refund of ticket as there was no rider to this effect.

Really Funny and Freak are many persons in this world. Each one invents his own method to make gains .

Which is Right or Wrong

This happened in a CBSE school.

In a class room, a student accidentally hit the classmate who was drinking water from his waterbottle. As a result, the water spilled over on to the notebook kept by another student. 

But the owner of the notebook got annoyed and beat the student whose drinking water spilled. In retaliation, the latter also beat the first student having the notebook.

This incident was brought to the attention of the Principal of the school.  

All the three students were asked to stay away from attending the school  for the next 4 days.  This punishment was given despite the students expressing the mistakes and their parents request not to punish like this.

It was informed by the students of that class that generally the Princy is having dislike for them and hace a biased approach 

The behaviour and judgement of the Principal was not correct according to me.It amounted to a punsihment given in a NCC or Military camp.

Either the Principal should have made all these students to shake hands and take a pledge " They will remain good friends and conduct themselves properly hereafter".

I would appreciate if  the readers give their valuableopinion about this incident.
