The smiles caused by this blog may be happy smiles, sad smiles, wry smiles, joyful smiles, puzzled smiles, naughty smiles, mischievous smiles, bored smiles, at times even irritated smiles.

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Needless to say, my original goal of starting this blog remains unchanged to this day - To make you smile. Somehow or the other. Hopefully by enjoying the content. If not, at least by laughing AT the content (or the provider of the content). After all, smiling is more important than the reason for smiling...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well, despite having a whole lot of supposedly world class technocrats, IIT Chennai recently had a rather special experience:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The notorious </span><b><i><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Chennai Power Cut</span></i></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">!</span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What takes the cake is not just another power cut. Apparently, the power cut happened during exams. Again, not one of those routine internal exams that presumably keep happening out there all the time. On this occasion, the </span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><i><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Chennai Power Cut</span></i></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> happened while the IIT JEE (Advanced) exams were in progress. Or should we talk about a lack of progress???</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Take a look at the story:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</ul>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is what I would call a "real power struggle"!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As திருவள்ளுவர் (Thiruvalluvar) would have said, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is an old one, and a brilliant one. Honestly, I know not the original author. This time around, got this from an old friend, Ms. S - Thanks to her for reminding me of this one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It remains relevant to us and will remain relevant for several years to come.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm sure that there will always be a new set of folks who were born relatively recently, who became literate recently, who started going online recently, etc. Am sure that they will find this not merely useful and interesting, but also </span><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>NEW !</i></span></b></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Today we mourn the passing of a
beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one
knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in
bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such
valuable lessons as:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An Obituary printed in the London Times</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
–
Interesting and sadly rather true.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Knowing when to come in out of the
rain;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Why the early bird gets the worm;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Life isn’t always fair;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-
and maybe it was my fault.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial
policies (don’t spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies
(adults, not children, are in charge).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His health began to deteriorate
rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a
classmate;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And a
teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his
condition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It declined even further when schools were required to get
parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But
could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an
abortion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for
doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their
unruly children.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches
became businesses;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And criminals received better treatment than their
victims.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself
from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for
assault.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman
failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She spilled a little
in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Common Sense
was preceded in death, by his parents, Truth and Trust, by his
wife, Discretion, by his daughter, Responsibility, and by his son,
Reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He is survived by his 4 stepbrothers;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I Know My Rights</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
-
I Want It Now</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- Someone Else Is To Blame</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- I’m A Victim</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not many
attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you
still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do
nothing</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

One day the great philosopher came upon an acquaintance, who ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about one of your students...?<WBR>"<BR><BR>"Wait a moment," Socrates replied. "Before you tell me, I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Test of Three"<BR><BR>"Test of Three?" "That's correct," Socrates continued.<BR><BR>"Before you talk to me about my student let's take a moment to test what you're going to say. The first test is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"<BR><BR>"No," the man replied, "actually I just heard about it."<BR><BR>"All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second test, the test of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my student something good?"<BR><BR>"No, on the contrary..."<BR><BR>"So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him even though you're not certain it's true?"<BR><BR>The man shrugged, a little embarrassed. <BR><BR>Socrates continued, "You may still pass though because there is a third test - the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my student going to be useful to me?"<BR><BR>"No, not really..."<BR><BR>"Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even Useful, why tell it to me at all?"<BR><BR>The man was defeated and ashamed and said no more. <BR><BR>Believe yourselves to be messengers of the good, true and valuable... Happiness, Trust and Worthiness will automatically be in place!!!</FONT></FONT></FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE> <DIV><FONT size=4>Regards,</FONT> </DIV> <P></P> <P align=justify><FONT color=#0000ff size=7 face="Monotype Corsiva"><STRONG><EM>N</EM></STRONG></FONT></P> <P align=justify></P><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#0000ff size=7 face="Monotype Corsiva"></FONT></EM></STRONG><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#0000ff size=7 face="Monotype Corsiva"></FONT></EM></STRONG><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#0000ff size=7 face="Monotype Corsiva"></FONT></EM></STRONG><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#0000ff size=7 face="Monotype Corsiva"></FONT></EM></STRONG><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#0000ff size=7 face="Monotype Corsiva"></FONT></EM></STRONG><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#0000ff size=7 face="Monotype Corsiva"></FONT></EM></STRONG><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#0000ff size=7 face="Monotype Corsiva"></FONT></EM></STRONG> <DIV> <HR color=#0000ff> </DIV></FONT>Nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07331887734560196019noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9075264833055939234.post-38851598268928720502012-03-20T22:28:00.000+05:302012-03-20T22:29:01.635+05:30Why India should vote against Sri Lanka @ UN<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT face="Times New Roman"></FONT> <P align=center><STRONG><EM><FONT color=#0000ff size=6 face="Monotype Corsiva">Why India should vote against Sri Lanka @ UN</FONT></EM></STRONG></P> <P align=justify><FONT size=4>Sri Lanka just doesn't bother to cooperate with India - even on supposedly trivial matters.
