பூக்கள் இங்கே மயிர் எங்கே....

புலவர்கள் பூக்களை பெண்களுடன் ஒப்பிடுவார்கள். அது மட்டும் இல்லாமல் பெண்கள் பூக்களை சூடினால் லக்ஷ்மி கடாக்ஷம் என்றும் சொல்லுவார்கள். ஆனால் இப்பொழுது கதையே வேறு . அதுமட்டும் இல்லாமல் பெண்களுக்கு முடி தொல்லையை அதிகமாக இருப்பதால் பூ வைக்க " மயிறும்" இல்லை. அங்காடியில் பூக்கள் கொட்டிக்கிடக்கிறது ஆனால் பெண்களின் தலையில் மட்டும் மயிர் எங்கே?

They have a free run.....

They were your unsolicited companions on your train journey whether you like them or not. They just stalk you during your journey. No TTE can ask them or examine them in fact, at times, they are at the receiving end.

Yes ! you 've rightly figured out what I really mean. They are ubiquitously found they are none other than RODENTS.

Last week,I had been to Madras Central Station to see off my friend. As I was standing on the platform I found that our trains not just carry passengers and freights. There were bandicoots having a free run well inside the busiest Railway station. There were no checks on them they simply enjoying their life in the company of humans. Beneath the platform they just jump from one track to the another.

What was most surprising that they were not alone .Among themselves , there were comrades from other states. They were not accustomed to a particular food because considering the Indian Railway Network they eat all delicacies that come in their way.

jwaiiiin juck jwaiiiiin juck.....

Amused by the sound aren't you? This sound alone has the capability to take you to the top of your career! Yes! I am talking about musical instrument called JALRA. This is very important in performing a musical katchery . This instrument user cannot perform katchery on his own. But, he could provide a good side track.

Have you ever seen 25np in the recent past?

Even beggars reject it. Yet the reserve bank of India mint it. The higher administration knows the "real" purpose. Yes! come ammaavasai (new moon day) all shops and commercial establishments in this city has the habit of breaking pumpkins on the road. Before breaking the pumpkin, they are usually stuffed with25np, 10np, coins and then, they break it. The practice is meant to ward off the evil. The road is strewn with coins that's how this city manages "fiscal deficit".

Dangerous profession?

Teaching is a noble profession that is a general perception. These days teaching attracts mediocre talent. This is the last resort available to the job searchers. As a result, the quality is hit severely. Moreover, teachers do not command respect in the society as they used to be. For all wrong reasons teachers occupy the headlines of the newspapers.

The situation is so grim in the private schools where they not only ought to complete the assignment within the deadline . At the same time, they ought to be found in management's good books.

With corporal punishment being abolished it has become a tough task to rein in the rogue elements inside the classroom. In order to achieve cent percent result teachers are crushed and they should be prepared for grueling session day in and day out. As far as pay package is concerned, government sector pamper their teachers profusely. In the private sectors they are at the mercy or whimsical practices of the management.

Earning petrorupees!

It is not about investment in Oil and Gas business. This is about earning by an apprentice at a petrol bunk. Normally, at petrol bunks, the Oil companies have displayed a board that they provide free air.In reality, it is not so. May be, because of "generosity" on the part of the petrol bunk users they dole out Rs.2 for two-wheelers Or Rs.5 for four wheelers. There are some niggard users , who just pay Re.1/- be it two wheelers or four wheelers.

Anyway, in a day, a petrol bunk attracts not less than 1000 users (approx). Now the apprentice who fills up air would definitely pocket Rs.4000 per day. Even if the entire collection is shared with four or five other apprentices of the bunk his share would be not less than Rs. 800 per day. Cool man! this amount is 100% more than a salary earned by a teacher working in a middle level matriculation school.

In some petrol bunks, 50% of the collection should be handed over to the bunk management. Even then I consider this venture is a lucrative one.

God: the employment provider

Today is ganesh chaturthi. our area market is abuzz with ganesh idols made out of clay. The flower vendors are doing a brisk business . The grocery shop is jam-packed. The employees at the shop have no time to rest. The entire atmosphere is filled with joy. The children accompanying their parents pestering them to buy colorful umbrella ,which is supposed to be adorned the backdrop of ganesha idol.

The festival on the one side, creates expenditure. It also provides employment on the other.
