The Times of India - 15th August, 1947

A wonderful example of financial management

A beggar to another beggar: I had a grand dinner at Taj yesterday.

How? The other beggar asked.

First begger: Some one gave me a Rs 100/- note yesterday.
I went to Taj and ordered dinner worth Rs 1,000/-, and enjoyed the dinner.
When the bill came, I said, I had no money.
The Taj manager called the police man, and handed me over to him.
I gave the Rs 100/- note to the police fellow, and he set me free.

Jack n Jill - Our News Channels

Here’s how the Indian TV news channels would report the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme. All names (except those of Jack and Jill), are fictitious.

Prashant - TV Anchor
Two persons have been injured in a freak climbing accident. Jack and his companion Jill had gone up a hill to fetch a pail of water when Jack fell down and broke his crown. Jill came tumbling after. Live from the hill, our reporter, Amrita Shah, takes up the story.

Amrita Shah
Thank you Prashant. Well, as you say, two persons - Jack and Jill - had gone up a hill to fetch a pail of water. Suddenly, Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after. Prashant.

Prashant
Thank you Amrita. What do we know about the hill?

Amrita
Not too much. Jack was going up the hill to fetch a pail of water when he fell down and broke his crown. Jill came tumbling after.

[Headline appears at the foot of the TV screen: “hill breaks crown of pail-boy Jack”]

Prashant
What news of Jack and Jill?

Amrita
Prashant, it seems that Jack had gone up the hill to fetch a pail of water. We know nothing about the pail, or how heavy it was but it seems that Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after. I have here with me, an eyewitness to the accident, Mr Shahid Trivedi. Mr Shahid, tell us what you saw.

Shahid Trivedi
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.

[Headline appears at the foot of the TV screen: “Boy and girl tumble down hill. Water spilled”]

Amrita
Jack and Jill. What do we know about them? Are they brother and sister? Are they married? Just what were they doing on the hill together?

Shahid Trivedi
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.

Amrita
And what happened next?

Shahid Trivedi
Jack fell down and broke his crown

Amrita
Go on.

Shahid Trivedi
And Jill came tumbling after.

Amrita
Prashant, there you have it. Two people innocently going about their business to fetch a pail of water when one of them falls down, breaks his crown, and the other comes tumbling after. Back to you in the studio Prashant.

[Headline appears at the foot of the TV screen: “Water errand ends in tragedy”]

Prashant
I have with me in the studio now, Professor Chandrashekar Belagare from the Indian Institute of Applied Hill Sciences. Professor: a hill; Jack; Jill; a pail of water. A tragedy waiting to happen?

Professor
Well that depends on the hill, the two persons, the object they were carrying and the conditions underfoot. Let us look at the evidence so far.

Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down
And broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after.

Clearly, one would suspect that if Jack’s fall was severe enough to break his crown then the surface of the hill must have been slippery or unstable. But I think we’re overlooking something quite fundamental here. Who was carrying the pail? Jack fell down and broke his crown and – this is the key – Jill came tumbling after. If Jack and Jill had been carrying the pail together, would they not have fallen at the same time? The fact that Jill came tumbling after suggests that Jack lost his footing first and perhaps knocked Jill over as he slipped.

some facts

लीजिये कुछ साश्वत सत्य वचन पेश हैं:
१) अगर किसी लडके ने किसी लड़की से "हाय/हैलो" कहा है तो वो इसे केवल "हाय/हैलो" ही समझती है इसके उल्टे अगर किसी लड़की ने किसी लडके को "हैलो" कहा तो लड़का इसको केवल "हैलो" नहीं समझेगा
२) अगर लड़का "हैलो" को केवल "हैलो" समझना भी चाहेगा तो उसके दोस्त ऐसा नहीं होने देंगे, आख़िर दोस्त होते ही किस दिन के लिए हैं :-)
३) लड़के जिनकी गर्ल फ्रेंड होती है और जिनकी नहीं होती है, में केवल एक फर्क होता है, पहले वाले लोग "लड़कियों से बात करते हैं" और दूसरे वाले "लड़कियों के बारे में बात करते हैं"
४) इंजीनियरिंग कालेज छोड़ दिए जाएँ तो संसार में सुन्दर लड़कियों की कोई कमी नहीं है
५) जो इंजीनियरिंग कालेज जितना अच्छा होगा वहाँ लड़कियों कि गुणवत्ता कालेज की रैंक के व्युत्क्रमानुपाती होगी
६) आपके मित्र कभी नहीं चाहते कि आपकी कोई गर्ल फ्रेंड बने, वरना वो कैंटीन में किसके साथ बैठ कर मौज करेंगे
७) कालेज में लड़कियों के पीछे पंजीकरण बिल्कुल मुफ्त होता है, बन्दा साल में दो बार लड़की से बात नहीं करेगा लेकिन कैंटीन में हमेशा "मेरी वाली"/"तेरी वाली" संबोधन से ही बात होगी
८) अगर आप पढाई में अच्छे हैं तो इसका सहारे आप बातचीत की शुरुआत तो कर सकते हैं, लेकिन सफलता के लिए जल्द से जल्द दूसरे मुद्दों पर आना नितांत जरूरी है
९) लड़कियों के साथ कभी भी तार्किक बातें न करें, जो लडकियां कहती हैं कि उन्हें लाजिकल/सत्यवादी लडके पसंद हैं वो झूठ बोलती हैं कभी उन्हें बोल कर देखिए कि वो कितनी बेवकूफी भरी बातें कर रही है फिर पता चलेगा कि उन्हें सत्य कितना पसंद है
१०) पेट भर भर कर झूठ बोलना लड़कियों को काफी भाता है, लड़कियों के हर सवाल के जवाब का अंत एक सवाल से करें
११) लड़कियों को बात करना बहुत पसंद होता है आप केवल बीच बीच में "आह/वाह" और "सच में/तुम मजाक कर रही हो" जैसा कुछ बोलते रहें, बाक़ी वो अपने आप बोलती रहेगी
१२) दोस्तो की भावुक बातों से सावधान रहें, "तूने लड़की के लिए दोस्ती छोड़ दी" जैसे वाक्यों ने कितने ही लड़कों का रोमांटिक कैरियर बीच में चौपट किया है
१३) यदि आप सभ्यता से किसी लड़की से बात करते हैं तो इससे उसे कोई दिक्कत नहीं, हाँ उसको भाईयों के बारे में पूर्व जानकारी हमेशा काम आ सकती है
१४) ज्यादा से ज्यादा लड़की आपको शालीनता से मना कर सकती है, लेकिन इस प्रकार की कई असफलताओं के बाद ही व्यक्ति सफल होता है
१५) लड़की की सहेली का रोल दुनिया में गुब्बारे की तरह फुलाकर रखा गया है, आमतौर पर इसकी कोई आवश्यकता नहीं होती, हिम्मत करके अकेले दम पर बात करने जैसा सुख और कुछ नहीं

secrets of happy mrg life

Once X asked Y, "What is the secret behind your happy married life?"
Y said, "You should share responsibilities with due love and respect to eachother. Then absolutely there will be no problems."

X asked, "Can you explain?"
Y said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my wifedecides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other's decisions."

Still not convinced, X asked Y "Give me some examples"
Y said," Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much amount tosave, when to visit home town, which Sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator tobuy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not etc are decided by mywife. I just agree to it"
X asked, "Then what is your role?"
Y said," My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether Americashould attack Iran, whether Britain should lift sanction over Zimbabwe,whether to widen African economy, whether Sachin Tendulkar should retire etc etc.

Do you know one thing, my wife NEVER objects to any of these".
