Caution!! When buying fruits or flowers from petty vendors

This is especially for boys...Yesterday i was asked to buy half dozen banana for saraswathi pooja. I saw a lady selling banana at the chromepet station... I enquired her, " How much does this banana costs? " She said " half dozen 10 Rs sir" ...I gave her 10Rs and asked to give 6 bananas from a particular set...She promptly agreed and put the fruit in a polythene cover and gave me...On seeing it, i found the fruits were damaged... I asked her to replace the fruits with another one... To my surprise,She said " once,sold we will not take back the fruits" ...I replied "Ok, give me back my money,I will buy it some where"...You could easily guess what her reply would have been...
After a long argument with her, i finally made her to give me a new set of 6 bananas, only to find myself,cheated will still more worse fruits...When i told my mom about the incident she explained me that...

" These vendors tend to cheat male people! Never give the money before examining the fruits or flowers...If you give the money before getting the item..you are more liable to be cheated..."

This is the lesson, i learnt yesterday....Never give the money before you receive the goods....

What would be there inside these young minds....

I am posting the news article which gave the list of terror suspects picked by police for sending threat emails in the name of Indian Mujahideen...
young tech savvy terror suspects

One of them works in an established IT company earning 19 Lakhs per annum.
I wonder what would have made him join the terror group ?Be it a person of any religion,nobody wishes, such cruel act of terror attacks to happen...

What could be the possible reasons for young people turning to the dark side...

• Money...no way ..one guy earns 19 lakhs per annum.
  
• Illiteracy...again this also fails here...all these guys are well educated.
  
• Wat else...??
• extreme hate for our indian nation....??Might be .. but very very less possible answer

After few moments of thought i came to a conclusion that only possible reason could be ...story of HEY RAM....
Only such incidents could turn a normal man to an devil....

I just pray to god that such things should not happen in future....

What next??

I am running out of topics to update my blog... In few days time i am planning to write
My views about getting committed at this age ( a practical situation analysis).
Terrorists claiming responsibilities for their atrocities.
Topic suggestions are welcome....

If u see, i have added pacman game application for you to enjoy...

And friends, do post your comments here so as to make this blog more interactive...instead of telling your comments in gtalk...

Pondicherry-A pleasant experience

A 3 hour journey from tambaram takes you, to one of the finest place you could never afford to miss- Pondicherry. I and my friend took the bus at 6 A.M and reached pondicherry by 9.00. A share auto for Rs.3 per head took us to ashram.
Ashram! Wow what an experience it was...the moment you enter the ashram and walk towards the samadhi, a feeling of silence and calmness fills your mind. And, the floral decorations on top of the samadhi,makes you feel the beauty of mother nature. It is said that all your prayers there, will surely be answered. There we spent around half an hour to 45 minutes...
Very close to ashram,is Manakkula vinayagar temple. After that, my friend said he wanted to buy a ring to u-know-who ...after searching few places he finally succeeded in buying a silver ring for 300 bucks.
After a light tiffin at adayar ananda bhavan, we headed back to the bus stand. We boarded the bus at 11.00. The bus fare was Rs.50 per head.
A good nap ensured us, that we didnt feel the heat of the scorching sun. Along with it, the pleasant songs of Illayaraja and rahman in your cell phone and the soft breeze near the window seat rounds off your satisfaction of a perfect weekend trip...

Begging! A profession??

It was around 7 at night. I was waiting at the park station gazing at the news leaflets hanging outside the book store. Next to me, were 3 blind people(regular in train seeking alms) in a jolly mood. They were making fun of each other and were laughing. The train arrived on the platform and there was pushing here and there, to get a place to sit.I was lucky enough to get a seat. After the train started its journey to its destination,I heard a crying voice begging for alms. It was one of the 3 people who were waiting in platform. I realized that these kind of people have taken begging as their profession.
We cant blame these people for seeking alms. Everything will have a reason. Nothing comes in this world for free. For everything we get we are paying a price. OK, What about these people. My guru says beggars are carriers of our sins... When beggars receive money,along with it they receive our sins too...
It doesn't mean to encourage begging. But a info, not to hesitate giving alms...If you find someone worthy of giving alms,don't stop by giving 50ps or 1 Re, Give more...so that his/her blessings will deduct your sins from your account and add to good deeds you do...

Atlast ! Breath free

At last, the government imposes ban on smoking once more. Government has banned smoking in hotels,restaurants,pubs and international airports and public places like bus stop. This comes as a boon to non smokers and young people who try to smoke without the knowledge of their parents. Now, we can breath freely in local theaters during interval and in petty shops.
But it will be interesting to watch how the police handles the offenders. It is well known fact that any new rule always helps mama to fill their pockets. We all remember how this ban on smoking was used to create humor in our south Indian films. Any way if government sticks to this ban,it is surely a good gift to our people on the eve of Gandhi jayanthi.

Happy Gandhi jayanthi folks...!

18 Till I die

Yesterday i boarded the crowded train to Park at around 8.30 scolding myself not be late again(a daily dialogue). I got a 4th passenger seat and next to me was a old man in his mid 60s i suppose. When i peeped what he is reading, i was surprised to see him solving sudoku. He was very fast at solving it and within 3 stations ,he solved two sudokus(medium level). Till yesterday, i was under the impression that, sudoku fever had struck only younger generation to spend time during class hours and fill pages in their resume.
Age is just a number. Its not the age that makes you older. Its only the enthusiasm and interest you show in things, decides whether you are young or old. Old people tend to show less interest in learning new things. Till now i have failed in all my attempts to teach my mother how to send an email. She would reply " All these internet and emails are suited only young ones like you..What am i going to do with this email and internet...?"
Ah..When i think of internet and email..my grandmother(relative to my actual granny) comes to my mind. She has learned how to use email and communicates with her son through emails..We have kept her the name "EMAIL PATTI"
As long as you have the interest and passion in learning new things you are young... and age holds no barrier to learning new things...
