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.

Too gentle, face the music......

Niceness is seen as a sign of weakness. when you behave "too gentle" you are definitely taken for a ride. you ought to get to the bottom and then you make a claim. Otherwise, people around you would take advantage of your gullibility. Just like what our "big-brother-next-door" does to us these days. The greatest problem we have today is that we are in complete denial of the problem which is trying to engulf us. Yet,we behave as if there is nothing to worry. Probably, we think ignorance is bliss.

URB..URB. URB.......

The sound may be a unique one. Actually, when we drink coffee (I'm sorry Kaapi) we make this sound. Particularly, when you drink a filter coffee , you hold kaapi tumbler in one hand and the newspaper in the other hand. The situation is indescribable . This URB sound has become a brand of a leading coffee maker which is nothing but BRU (just an ulta).
