Maharashtra Police, they are second to only the Scotland Yard of Britain

This is what you might have heard, or may be variant of it “This Maharashtra Police, I tell you, they are second to only the Scotland Yard of Britain – Big B“. I have heard the same about Hyderabad police , even Vijaykant (Captain) quotes in a movie that Tamilnadu police is second only to Scotland Yard.

Its a lie , it’s a bigger lie than “Salman Khan” can act !!. In fact, there are three lies in one statement.

• Scotland Yard is not a police force. Its an address of a (one of a )London City police force headquarters. Metropolitan police headquarters is at Scotland Yard , Westminster London with some post code.
• There is no citation that Met police is number one in world. Even if it there (citation needed) , on what basis ? what are the qualities analysed ?
• There is no reason that, one of Indian police force is second to that. Its just way to convince people with the information crowd is not going to verify , forever.

“Second only” song for those people who may go to google and try to verify if they were told it is “the best”. i.e. If you say “we are the best” could get “get lost…!” from some people. To convince these set of people try saying “we are not best , but we are right behind the best..” and the reaction would be “possible ..hm!!”.

There are so many other facts convinced with these kind of lies, for example :

• “India produces maximum wind power in whole world and Tamilnadu accounts for 80% of it”. This gem was by a key note speaker in a Electrical Engg. conference. He had authority on this topic since he was in Electricity Board.
• “It is scientifically proven that animal does not feel any pain if it is butchered as Halal and Kosher (religious way)”. I am not going to believe this till a dead bird or a goat explains me this logic. If you need proof , just go to PETA site and watch some videos on religious butchering, you will see everything yourself.

Its easy, you can always use words like ’scientifically’ and ‘technically’ to prove anything. See , I will create one theory right away : “Its is scientifically proven that “ginger-garlic paste” used in tikka masala has medicinal value and is a natural cure for Anthrax.

book or movie ?

Imagine a situation where your boss gave you a day off. To spend time he gave you one boooring book (say Ayn rand ) and a stupid movie ( say some karan johar). Which one would you chose ?

That was just a question, for answers just look at these maps.

Books published, including school textbooks.  and boy !!! where is Africa ?

How to pass engineering… ask this guy

I recall some of my super seniors took seven to eight years to finish their engineering. During exams some of them used to come to me (also) for tuitions on several engineering theories.

Next year they just drop by and tell “No yaar, I don’t clear it this time. BTW… Are you there in college next year? I need the same tuition again”. They some time accumulate 10 to 15 un-cleared subjects in their hand. Here is one of such guys. He goes into records for clearing 29 subjects in one shot.

In our terms we call it “morning show – matinee show” Just observe the timings he has written the papers. Hats off Man.

This is to inform you that our alumni, ___ has appeared 29 engineering theory subjects’ examinations conducted by Karnatak University in our college; the detailed report of the examination schedule is mentioned below. Its his sincere effort to register his name into Limca book of record for passing 29 engineering theory subjects during the examinations held in Jan/Feb 2003,

What do the numbers on bottom of bottles indicate?

There is one more chain mail; it’s about the plastic bottles we use. There is a number written on the bottom of every plastic bottle, which varies from one to seven. Hoax Chain Mail claims that the number indicates how many times that particular plastic is recycled in reverse order. So anything above 5 is good.

It’s actually nothing to do with the number of recycling of the bottles. It’s just the type of plastic which is used for that particular bottle. 5 is polypropylene and 1 is PET that is polyethlyene terephthalate. The numbers below is useful while sorting the collected bottles while recycling. In other words it is plastic identification number.

1 – PET, polyethlyene terephthalate
2 – HDPE, high-density polyethylene
3 – PVC, polyvinyl chloride
4 – LDPE, low-density polyethylene
5 – PP, polypropylene
6 – PS/PS-E, polystyrene / expanded polystyrene
7 – OTHER, resins or multi-materials

Google yourself if you are not satisfied. But don’t panic if you receive the same chain mail tomorrow.

Here is copy paste of that mail

Blank noise project

Blank noise project is one interesting thing happening around metros in India. It started in Bangalore (as I know) against all leaching, touching, pinching, stalking and “ನೊಡ್ಲಾ ಮಗಾ…@^#%@$! ” (FAQ). I did not see anyway to help these heroes, thought I ll give them some more publicity.

Basically it’s a message to women who have experienced this one or the other way.

College memories: Roads

Road 1. Road to temple. This road leads to the temple of worship , the ladies hostel.

Road 2. Road to Ecstasy , Road Leading to a shop which leads to a shop which supplied cigerettes the entire customer base, even during “strict” non-smoking days.

3. Way of freedom : Track to get out of the college , yes finish your digree and go home.

Eric F Cartman

I‘ve been watching lot of south park lately. I started to like them. Fourth grade kids experiencing life in weird way (always). They have opinions on everyone bush, Osama, Saddam, Budda, Jeasus… You guess the rest. They are like some social commentary blogs

 

The main character of the show is Eric Cartman. To explain his character briefly (wikipedia) :

Catalyst for the plot, Cartman is portrayed as an abusive, anti-Semitic, violent, campy, aggressive, greedy, corrupt, bigoted, self-centered, rude, racist, wildly insecure and extremely manipulative young man who is possible to have antisocial personality disorder.

 

These two videos are of a normal day of south park fourth grade math class. Mr. Garrison is teaching arithmetic and kids just came learning some F words.

Mr. Garrison: OK children; let’s start the day with the few new math problems
(Writes on the board)
Mr. Garrison: What is five times two?
(Silence)
Mr. Garrison: Come on children don’t be shy, just give it your best shot
(One hand rises)
Mr. Garrison: yes Clive ….
Clive : …..twelve?
Mr. Garrison: OK.., now let’s try to get an answer from someone who is not a complete retard

ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಓ. ಕೆ. … “ಕ್ಷ” “ತ್ರ” ಮತ್ತು “ಜ್ನ” ಯಾಕೆ ?

ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ,

ತುಂಬಾ ದಿನ ಆಯ್ತು, ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆದು (ಟೈಪಿಸಿ). ಒಂದು ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆ. ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಅಧಿಕ ಪ್ರಸಂಗದ್ದು, ಎನ್ಮಾಡ್ಲಿ blog ಹೆಸರೇ “ನಾನು, ನನ್ ಗೀಚಾಟ ಮತ್ತು ನನ್ನ ಅಧಿಕ ಪ್ರಸಂಗ”. ಹೆ ಹೆ ..

 

ಕನ್ನದ ಸ್ವರಮಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ “ಕ್ಷ” “ತ್ರ” ಮತ್ತು “ಜ್ಞ” ಯಾಕಿದೆ ?

ಇದೊಂದು ಹತ್ತು ಹದ್ನೆಂಟು ವರ್ಶದ ಹಿಂದೆ ಬಾಲಾವಡಿ , ಅಂಗನವಾಡಿ ಅಕ್ಷರಮಾಲೆಯ chart ನೋಡಿದಾಗ ತಲೇಲಿ ಬಂತು. ಆಗ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಸಂಸ್ಕೃತ ಕಲ್ತಿದ್ದೆ… ರಾಮ: ರಾಮೇ ರಾಮೈ .. ಗೊತ್ತಲ್ಲ ಹೈ ಸ್ಕೂಲ್ ಪಾಟಗಳು.

 

ದೇವನಾಗರಿ ಲಿಪಿಯಲ್ಲಿ, “ಕ್ಷ” “ತ್ರ” ಮತ್ತು “ಜ್ಞ” ಗಳಿಗೆ ಬೇರೆ ಬೇರೆ ಚಿಹ್ನೆಗಳಿವೆ . So.. ಅದರ ಅಕ್ಷರಮಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ specific ಆಗಿ ಬರೆಯದಿದ್ರೆ ಒದುಗರು confuse ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ತಾರೆ ಅಂತ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಬರೆದಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಆದ್ರೆ ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ “ಕ್ಷ” “ತ್ರ” ಮತ್ತು “ಜ್ಞ” ಒನ್ದೇ ತರ ಬರೆಯುವುದು ತಾನೇ. “ಕ್ಷ” – ಯಕ್ಷ, ತ್ರ – ನಕ್ಷತ್ರ , ಙ್ – ಯಜ್ಞ ಅಂತ

 

ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಓ. ಕೆ. … “ಕ್ಷ” “ತ್ರ” ಮತ್ತು “ಜ್ನ” ಯಾಕೆ ?

ಸಂಪದದಲ್ಲೂ ಇದನ್ನೇ ಪೊಸ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಿದ್ದೆ, ನೂರು ಜನ ಓದಿದ್ರು ಯಾರೂ ಉತ್ತರ ಮಾತ್ರ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿಲ್ಲ. ಕನ್ನಡ ಅಕ್ಷರ ಮಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಮೂರು ಅಕ್ಷರಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದು ಹಕಿದ್ದರೇನು ?

What’s wrong with your name?

To agree with Amitabh Bachchan English is very Phunny (or funny) language. A language which has greatest number of literature works happening (or happened) has serious scarcity of generalized language rules, e.g. how to spell a sound or how to pronounce a word. There can half a dozen different ways to pronounce one sound. Similarly it has half a dozen different spellings for a word which is pronounced uniquely.

Trouble comes when one needs to write on Indian word in English (karma, nirvana, guru, pundit etc) and otherwise also. I have encountered three names written in three different spellings but pronounced the same. Sandhya , Sandya , Santhya, Santhiya.. Which one is correct? Technically going, none of them. No combination of English alphabet can accommodate these kinds of thousand words (except otherwise UNICODE). Its English, you can spell your name the way you want, where is the problem? Problem is the attitude of “you way of spelling is not correct”.

In one way these differences are very useful, to guess where that is person is from. If a girl writes her name as Sandhya, she is south Indian. If Sandya , she is north Indian. Any “th” ( like “Santhya” or “Santhiya” ) is either from Tamilnadu or Kerala and north-east people don’t name their name daughter as “sandya”. Cool isn’t it ?

Anyways come to the point. To go technically, South Indians pick letters as exactly it sounds in alphabetical chart, north Indians pick it from English words where they are used. For example letter “t” sounds retroflex in alphabetical chart , in English words it can be dental , or retroflex.

ನನ್ನ ಓದುವ ಹುಚ್ಚು

ನಾನೂ high school ಹೋಗಿದ್ದೆ, ಎಲ್ಲರಂತೆ. ಅದೊಂದು ಹಳ್ಳಿ ಬಾಳಿಲ ಎಂದು. ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಜನಾವಾಸದಿಂದ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ದೂರ. ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದಲ್ಲೇ ನನ್ನ ಈಗಿನ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಹುಚ್ಚನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು. ಕೈಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕ ಪುಟವನ್ನು ಓದುವುದು, ಏನಾದರೂ ಗೀಚುತ್ತಾ ಇರುವುದು etc.etc. ಎಲ್ಲ ಶಿಕ್ಷಕರೂ creativity ( ಸೃಜನ ಶೀಲಾತೆಗೆ ) ಗೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಒತ್ತು ಕೊಡುತಿದ್ದರು.

ನಾನೂ ನನ್ನ ಚೆಡ್ದಿ ದೋಸ್ತು ಮಂಜು ಮತ್ತು ಕೆಲವರು ವಿಪರೀತ ಪ್ರಸಂಗೀಗಳು ( ಇದು ಅಧಿಕ ಪ್ರಸಂಗೀ ಗಿಂತಲೂ ಮೇಲೂ ). ಒಬ್ಬರ ಮೇಲೊಬ್ಬರು ಹಟ ಹಿಡಿದು ಓದುತ್ತಿದೆವು. ಪಾಟ ಅಲ್ಲ , ಆದೇ ಕೈಗೆ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿದ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳು. ಶಲ್ಲ ಗ್ರಂಥಾಲಯದ ಎಲ್ಲ ಒಳ್ಳೇ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳು ಮೂರು ವರ್ಷಗಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಿ ಮುಗಿಸಿ ಬಿಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೆವು. ಅದರ ಮೇಲೆ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಿಗಳ ಮನೆಗೆ ಹೋಗಿ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ತರುತಿದ್ದೆವು. ಆಗ ಓದಿದ್ದೆ ಕೊನೇ . ಅದರ ನಂತರ ಕನ್ನಡ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಓದುವ ಅವಕಾಶ್ ಸಿಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಅವುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಕೆಲವೊಂದು ಇನ್ನೂ ಮನಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಉಳಿದಿವೆ ..

ಕೆಲವು ಬರೆದಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಉಳಿದದ್ದು ನೆನಪಾಗುತಿಲ್ಲ.
