Jokes for you – J4U !!!

This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a
competition organized in Britain and this joke was sent by an
Indian……

A M.Sc E.Media and a MBA go on a camping trip, set up their tent,and fell asleep.

Some hours later, the M.Sc E.Media wakes his MBA friend. ” look up at the sky and tell me what you see.”

The MBA replies, “I see millions of stars.”

“What does that tell you?”

The MBA ponders for a minute.

“Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are
millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo.

Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three.

Theologically, it’s evident the Lord is all-powerful and
we are small and insignificant.

Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.

What does it tell you?”

The M.Sc E.Media is silent for a moment, then speaks.

“Practically…Someone has stolen our tent”.

 

Harmful Acts !!!

Don’t put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers, because directly after dialing, the mobile phone would use it’s maximum signaling power, which is: 2watts = 33dbi. Please Be Careful. Please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the right one it may affect brain directly. This is a true fact from Apollo medical team.

Do not drink APPY FIZZ . It contains cancer causing agent.

Don’t eat mentos before or after drinking coke or pepsi bcoz the person will die as it creates cyanide.

Please forward to all your well wishers..!

My bro tells me, “dont scrap me in tamil, it will give a cheap look to you”

My friend(who was born and brought up in trichy only) tells me (proudly!), “I dont know to read and write tamil”

Some people ask me not to wear dhoti, as if it is something cheap.

All this is due to the fact that people tend to madly follow the western culture. I wish to use the term Westoxification to describe the phenomenon found in most of the people, especially youngsters.  Let me give you some examples:

• In a 5 * hotel in chennai, people without shoes are not allowed inside. In the same hotel, people with dhoti are not allowed!!! - This is something atrocious. Having their hotel in TAMILNADU and not allowing people in traditional tamil attire – Enna Koduma Sir Idhu !!!
• Most of the people dont read tamil books or tamil literature. Wherever you go, you could spot a guy with a SIDNEY in hand. There’s nothing wrong in that, but looking down upon people reading tamil books is something untolerable.
• Most of the kids call their parents by ‘MOM’, ‘DAD’… Why use such words when there are beautiful words in tamil ‘AMMA’, ‘APPA’.
• Somedays back, I went to X’s house. A kid was playing with some toys. When we entered and took seats, the kid’s father called her and asked her to recite the poems which she had learnt in class. Even after she recited 3 or 4 poems, the dad was not satisfied. He wanted all of us to have more of the kid’s fluency. The kid was on the verge of crying… She wanted to play, but was not allowed to.

The point is that, people should live for themselves and not for others. In most of the cases, people want to project themselves as  so-called ELITE and cheat themselves.

I dont mean to say that we should not adopt the western habits/culture (If you are going to a meeting, you have to be in formals, it is obvious) . What I ask for is, we should follow our culture too! There should be a BALANCE in what we do. Also, people should not consider speaking or reading Tamil as something inferior.

Hogenakkal issue and Rajini

For the past few days, the Hogenakkal issue has been occupying the front pages of all newspapers. Its evident that there’s too much of unneccessary politics going around regarding this issue.

Rajini’s speech in the meeting was correctly (!) misinterpreted by the Kannada activists and they say that they would neither allow Rajini into K’taka nor screen his films. This would not affect Rajini in anyway and the activists are using this RAJINI issue as a means to gather popularity and divert others from the main issue. We should appreciate Rajini’s gesture of speaking and behaving in the perfect manner.

I dont see any sense in burning effigies or damaging public property like buses (remember, its our tax which is going to ashes!). Instead, efforts must be taken by the people concerned to smoothly sort out the issue. Surprisingly (and sadly too!), there isnt much of response from the Central govt. Perhaps, they are worried about the elections and their image at Karnataka. I feel that our CM’s stand of postponing this project is correct, since it will encourage a intellectual approach towards this problem and not a sentimental one.

Right from the Cauvery issue, the entire country is aware of K’taka s nature.

Even in the current issue, our stand is correct and their claim is absolutely wrong. This has been proven with scientific and historical evidence.

I strongly condemn the ownership of natural resources by states. After all we all belong to the same country and its a matter of sharing. K’taka shd follow the principle of ‘LIVE AND LET LIVE’ It is known to everyone that Hogenakkal belongs to us. If K’taka keeps on behaving in this manner, how will we quench our thirst?

Vijayakant correctly argues, ”What would happen if we cut power supply to K’taka from Neiveli?” Instead of adopting a tit-for-tat approach, the issue can be approached correctly and the dispute should be sorted out by the central govt in a smooth manner.

Let’s see what other comedies happen based on this issue…

ADManiac…

Guys, first of all sorry for the delay in posting this article… thanks to Srivaths anna for reminding me.

I am planning to give the following:

•  my observations and analysis on various Ads
• the ADs which I like the most
• the Ads which have received much praise from Giants like AGK

To start with, I would like to classify ADs (ther are hell a lot of

classifications and this one is just a sample to understand the working of Ads)

classification 1:

• Verbose Ads

• Ads with little or NO words

• Ads based on songs

Much recently, the second category of Ads have seem to struck a chord. These Ads catch the attraction of the viewers without boring us. Remember, making an AD film itself is difficult coz’ u have to convey the content in less than a minutes time. Just think about the efforts and thinking needed to deliver the message through ADs without any words…

Some classic Ads with less or no words:

1. Havells fans

A person would have been kidnapped and tied to a chair. WIth immense

difficulty, he frees himself out. That is when the kidnapper switches

‘ON’ the Havells fan. Due to the breeze from it, he falls asleep peacefully.

This is a great way of conveying the entire IDEA!

2. Havells cables

The mother is finding it difficult to cook for her son. The small boy

notices her difficulty and solves her problem with a HAVELLS cable.

A novel and indirect way of illustrating its ’Fire resistant’ nature. What I liked most about this Ad is that, the element

of affection and Love (Amma sentiment)

3. Vodafone Ads

A person spends a whole day in the lift coz’ of the SMS alert from

Vodafone. Though wierd, it succeeds in winning our attraction.

4. Bank of India / Indian Bank (cant remember xactly)

A child carries his piggy bank to the bank and he is also treated

with due respect. It stresses on ’CUSTOMER FOCUS’.

5. Saint Gobain glass (one of my most favourite ADs)

This is a popular Ad in which a lady throws a bucket of water in air and it strikes the glass in between the lady and those seated. A funny ad which conveys the matter straight.

That is all for now…

upcoming posts on ADs would be:

1. Is star-value needed or not?

2. Emotional Ads

3. Reasons for failure of ADs

Rajni MANIAC!!!

The popularity of our Super * (haiyo… haiyo) has spread to South Africa as well. If you got to see Proteas’ pacer Ntini during net practice, he showed the BABA MUDRA…When I saw that pic for the first time, I thought it to be a coincidence. But, various articles confirmed that Ntini is a RAJNI FAN.

 Here is the article reg this in YAHOO NEWS…

“Looks like the Rajini mania has spread as far and wide till South Africa.

The visiting South African team’s fast bowler Ntini has recently confessed his obsession to the superstar’s movies and his style in particular. Ntini sure seems to be fond of Rajinikanth’s style statements and demonstrates the actor’s famous finger tricks for Baba.

Besides, he makes people drop their jaw by imitating the ‘Peraketaale Summa Adirudilla’ tagline from the last year blockbuster Sivaji flawlessly that stands proof to the number of times he watched the movie.

Apart from Sivaji, Ntini also declares that he has watched Baba many times from where he picked up the finger gesticulation. Ntini’s revelation has earned him many amused fans in Chennai where he is stationed along with his team for the first test cricket series against India.”

 This is a proud news for all RAJNI fans…

The humorous ‘DELHI’ Ganesh…

It was a pleasant and enjoyable evening for the people assembled at the auditorium in Shrimathi Indra Gandhi College, trichy. The occasion was ‘Associations day’ and the chief guest was none other than DELHI Ganesh. After the welcome speech was made, the chief guest was invited to speak. I was eagerly expecting as to what he is going to speak. He spoke for about 20-25 mins. I tell you, for the entire length of the speech, I was rolling with laughter. He shared with us his funny experiences while shooting with snakes, elephants etc. When my mom mentioned about his character in AVVAI SHANMUGHI, I could see a glow in his face. He also gave some valuable piece of advice to the students and others who were present. We know that he is a great comedian, actor and villan, but what people dont know is that he is extremely simple and down to earth. When he got down at the end of the function, he came near me for taking a pic! (Remember, it was I who had requested for a pic with him thru my mom)I can never forget his sense of humour and simplicity, a great combination.

On the whole, the evening was memorable for everyone present in the auditorium.
