Are you Serious?

Many people would have come to face with stupid, irrelevant questions or statement in their life, so have I. Here are handful of them, enjoy and add your own in comments section.

1. Faculty was discussing "Consultancy firm" how it is different than others, how it is useful for people who do not have expertise in the field and types and started giving examples. Marriage consultancy, Legal consultancy, Investment consultancy.....etc, when one student stood up and contributed his own example- Illegal consultancy! Madam just laughed it off, so did other students, but this guy stayed his ground and started debating.
2. Our Insurance professor was discussing Reinsurance when one student got up and asked, Student: "What if Reinsurance company goes bankrupt?" Prof: "Well, same scenario, when an insurance company goes bankrupt?" Same Student: "What is Bankrupt?"
3. A young faculty joined college and was taking her first lecture, she was pretty young. She was teaching statistics, and there came a question that had cricket in it and hence used some of the cricketer's name. One Girl raised her hand, to ask a doubt, which was "Madam, can we use Yuvraj's name instead, don't you like him, I love him."
4. A well known investor had come for a guest lecture, no it was not @jhunjhunwala , but he talked about how to judge a security, what all should be considered. One professor stood up and asked "This all i have taught the students, but what really needs to be done to choose stocks like you do." Well the investor did not smile it away, and answered it very logically, "Don't take it as a part time hobby, but full time job."

Well those were some moments I came across recently. Add some of yours.

KalYug

Yesterday, had a late night conversation with @nehamehta09, @Har0on & @trivedipankaj on twitter, and realized what i know was not all that's there to the subject. However few lines to come to mind thinking about this era-yug.

Kali kare vinash

Manush bole bhasha tol mol ki

Ram se kachu na hove

Ab Kalki hi jug uddhare.

Kali: Is the demonic part/negative manifestation of Vishnu, who is the ruler of this era. And hence refers to all the negative characteristics of humans, namely- Greed, Lust, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, etc, you get the picture, the prevalent of this era.

Kalgi: He is the positive incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and hence nemesis of the Kali, who would come on a white stead and destroy Kali, to bring an end to this era, and world as we know.

World as we know is based on materialistic wealth, it does not mean that capitalism is bad. It only implies, having more than what we need, hoarding it , whether it is Food Grains or Money, well it is what our economist also suggest, hoarding can falsely move the market, and cause various distortions.

When will world come to an end: It would not, like the Mayan calendar, currently in news thanks to movie-2012, the era will end and new circle will begin. Hence again, Satyug-the golden era of truth, followed by Treta and Dwapara yug and again Kalyug will follow and circle of life will continue.

So when will this era-Kalyug end: It will end when people will get the flowers and fruits of their doing, and it will rain unseasonally. Hence, it might be close to an end, looking at November and December Rains of this year.

However, if we look closely it does have some connections to other religions too, like sins in Christianity and some other religions Judaism etc, link below.

Further, the story of Manu and Noah are very close to each other. And Bible and Quran both say the same story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_(Hinduism)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah

Interesting story, that it is Manu or Noah's children all we are, one origin, which can be traced by genealogy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_recent_common_ancestor#MRCA_of_all_living_humans

After going through all this, only thought that comes to mind is, why did we drift apart, when it was already foretold that we would?

What can I say?

Today being New Years Eve, there are going to be lots of parties in town, it is quite obvious, most would be going to one. Had a chance meeting with a friend, kind of party rocker, and asked him,

Me: "So you must be going to some Party to night."

He: "No, yaar, I am staying at home."

Me: "What? You are not going to party, but it's New Years Eve!"

He: "So what, even you are not going."

Me: "Well, I am not a regular to parties anyway, but you are one who does."

He: "Well, it is not easy to explain, I rather tell you an analogy."

And he began:

You know P. L. Deshpande had written a story, there is a character in the story called Antu Barve, a Brahmin from Ratnagiri. Well there is a small conversation there, it goes like this. "Mahatma Gandhi never visited Ratnagiri, why not?" Asks Antu, and answers also, "There was nothing for him to see here, and nothing to show to people of this place too. See, most people here wear lesser clothes than him, eat lesser than him and do their own work, so they would never have understood the importance of him and his sacrifice. On other hand people from the other place were well to do, in sense they were used to eat good things, including ghee and all. Hence, the reason."

Similarly, people like me do not see any difference between New Year’s Party and normal party, in fact it's worse. People who have been starved for fun, liquor and good food end up on these parties, and increase the chance of some bad incident. While for people like me it is like taking a bath every day, for them it is a bath at sea, once in blue moon.

I was left standing, speechless.

Quote Unquote.

If I had been a celebrity , scribes would have been hungry for my quotes, and I would have been in greater trouble than anyone else for saying so; here are some samples:

Some beggar: Give 1Re. in name of X god.
Me: I am not Hindu.

Some more: Well as far as I know; Jinnah was secular until he got jealous of Gandhi.

Good that we have religion to fight over in India, else like everyone else we would have been fighting on colour of our skin.

Nothing is worse than surviving a suicide, you are punished for surviving, while if you die, your oppressor are punished!

If one day everyone starts loving everyone, that night many hearts will be broken.

They say : Failure results in better learning.
Me: Failing to follow law, results in crime, everyone should be given equal chance to learn, then be it a murderer. (And in India some do get, but it's not equal in giving opportunities.)

Democracy is right to choose one nut-case character among nuttiest, who will compete among the other 500 odd for coming 5 years.

Computers are useless, they only give answers, we very well know how stupid can people be in asking questions.

Maddof was not a criminal when he siphoned of your money, you were criminally insane to give it to him in first place, in absence of any checks.


I think these are enough, or else I will start insulting people now.

The tale of two Girls.

This is a story of two girls, from same small town, intelligent and with lots of dreams. As they grew up, both wanted to be engineers, and so studied hard to make it. And they did become engineers.

At end of engineering, they stood in merit list for university and had landed a good job in their fields. And now it was time to join it. Before joining both decided to go to home town and be with family. And here is when their story changes, takes different path.

Girl A went home was very happy to have completed education and family greeted her happily. Then she told them about her new job and something went wrong. Father and brother both declined to let her go and work. "It’s time for your marriage." is what they said. She was taken aback by their stand. She pointed out that till we find a suitable match for me, I can keep working. And they went "We have a suitable match for you, and he will be coming here in evening, be ready, muhaurut is scheduled for day after tomorrow." She was shattered, and so were her dreams. The man who came to take her hand did not know anything but savkari/zamindari. He was a moneylender and she was going to be the payment for the loan that family had to pay off or lose all the property they had.

Girl B, went home and her dad was out distributing sweets to all people known and unknown, his daughter had become engineer, she had fulfilled a dream that he expected of his son, who was not there. She was his son for him, in spirit. On coming back he asked what next, and said here are various loan schemes available from banks and i would like it if you studied further. A small man by financial stature, girl knew he would not be able to pay the loan off, and she had a job now and that's what she told him. "I will be joining the company next week, after working for 2 years, we can decide on future." She left home a happy girl, and continued to live happily, soon got her father to retire from job and made him owner of his own small business in the small town.

On other hand, Girl A was really desperate to have her life and dreams back, and luckily she did. She somehow contacted her friends in city, who successfully helped her to abscond; the company obliged her request and posted her in different city, and hid her name in payroll, from her relatives. Soon a police case was also made by the girl after consulting lawyer with help of her friends and the moneylender was caught, but her parents had to face the local police burnt too. Though she managed to get them out, and out of the small town and got them shifted to her place in new city, while the property was sold off.

In end education did make a difference for two girl’s families.
