Helluva Halwa

Had a Helluva Halwa today

Gold medalists

Although we rarely find gold medalist in sports in our country we find them in plenty in other domains although without a reference to the reason for the gold medal. Every second doctor, lawyer, Astro numerologist etc. are one. I remember the dialogue from the film "Lage Raho Munnabhai" which says "Everyone in our class comes first, nobody comes second!".

Stable environment

Currently only horses in Maharashtra appear to have a "stable" environment.

Accompany

To accompany is to give a company

because two is company and three is a crowd

9/11 one sad one hope

While 9/11 brings sad memories in the west, 9/11 here in India is 9 Nov, the two major events - inauguration of Kartarpur corridor, a long standing demand of the Sikh community and the judgement on the Ram Janma bhoomi case by  Supreme Court, a dispute which is more than a century old gives hope of positive initiatives in future.

Slip and fall

When you slip you fall down

When you sleep you fall asleep

Global warming

It appears global warming has had it's impact on the way Bollywood heroes dress nowadays than with respect to the 70s. 70s had them in 3 piece suits and jackets while nowadays they trendier clothes to beat the heat

Fan speed

When the temperature goes lower
The fan speed goes slower

Thought of the day:

There will be haters, there will be doubters, there will be non-believers and then there will be you, proving them wrong. Let no one discourage your ambitious attitude and don't ever let somebody tell you can't do something as you don't need a fan club to achieve your goals. Be your own motivation and when everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it. Once the devil whispered to the warrior "You cannot withstand the storm" and the warrior whispered back "I am the storm". Always remember "Walls, Obstacles, Roadblocks etc. are not here to stop you; they are here to see how bad you want it."

Moreover there's no need to be perfect to inspire others; let people get inspired by how you deal with your imperfections. Don't be afraid of being special, be afraid of being like everyone else thus seek respect, not attention as it lasts longer.

Two events on Oct 31

On October 31 Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) will become a Union territory and integrate with India while the United Kingdom is likely to no longer be a part of the European Union territory. Both these events will have long term implications for their respective countries. Both issues, the special status that J&K had and UK's membership of EU have been debated for many years in both countries. Interestingly the Brexit referendum and integration of J&K with India were poll promises by parties which won the election.

University sponsoring

Not interesting?

Engineering procedures are probably indicative of how interesting the work could be in some cases e.g.  Boring Layout and in some cases are indicative if the work will be either more interesting or less interesting e.g. Large Bore and small bore piping.

New method of inflation tracking

Economists could turn to Hindi film songs to track inflation like the song " Pehle de do Mera panch rupaiya bara Aana" (5 rupees and 12 aanas -  expense of car service), "Char ane Mein do do kele"
(2 bananas for 4 aanas). "Dus Lakh" a movie about  inheritance of 10 lakhs etc.

Film Katha had 1.5 Rs. Per telephone call year 1982.

Flop show had 12000 for colour TV year 1989.

Electrical Engineers

Lifes strains

The strains of life don't show on your face
With a smile each time
you score an ace

The captain

I wonder if the word "captain" came from cricket where the captain has to lead ten other players who normally wear caps on the field.
By the same measure a person with ten root canals will have ten caps on his set of teeth, so could be referred to as a captain.
