Read this, even you will think "WHY?"
If swimming is a good exercise to stay fit, then WHY WHALES are fat?
WHY is that everyone wants to go to HEAVEN but nobody wants to die?
Shall I say that there is racial discrimination in CHESS as WHITE piece is moved first?
In our Country, we have freedom for SPEECH, then WHY telephone bills?
If MONEY does'nt grow on tress then WHY do BANKS have branches?
WHY does a round PIZZA come in a SQUARE box?
WHY does'nt GLUE stick to its bottle?
WHY do you still call it a BUILDING when its already BUILT?
If its true that WE are here to help others, then what OTHERS are here for?
If you are'nt supposed to DRINK AND DRIVE, then WHY do BARS have parking lots?
WE are funny people living in a SERIOUSLY funny world!!!!!!!!!!

Rajni is now a management guru
Rajni is now a management guru
Move aside management gurus; here comes a guru of gurus – Rajnikant. Yes, the Tamil superstar.
You have seen him tossing up cigars, bashing up heroes, pirouetting with lasses of his daughter's age, turning into a robot and ringing box office coffers with his histrionics. But at 61, Rajni has taken a new avatar - that of a management guru. Not that he will don the black coat and cap to reach pupils of Harvard or at IIMs, but his one-liners, rather punch lines, are now being used as nuggets to teach students of management a lesson or two.
Rajni's punch lines are famous all across Tamil Nadu - they call it Rajni PUNCHtantra - the one-liners that make villains freeze in their tracks, heroines melt like hot chocolate, animals gallop on mother of jet fuels and send audiences spinning into a tizzy. But now a new book on PUNCHtantras has ascribed management insights into Rajni's one-liners that sometimes can bring down theatre roofs.
The book, Rajini's PUNCHtantra -- Value Statements on Business and Life Management - brought out on Sunday in Chennai to mark Rajinikanth's 61st birthday has some famous one-liners like 'En vazhi thani vazhi' (my way is a unique way) from Padayappa.
The book analyses the 'value statement' and says "One has to be different to succeed. Don't choose a 'me too' line of business or a 'me too' way of running a business. And then comes the example: "Recent history talks of many failures on account of this very herd culture. The failure of many dotcom companies is a typical example."
Here is another PUNCHtantra on similar lines: "Kanna, panni dhan Kootama varum. Singam Singleaa dhaan varum" (Only pigs come in herds. The lion always comes alone) from Sivaji.
Another one-liner packed with Rajni wisdom is Khatam... Khatam... Mudinjathu mudinju potchu from the movie Baba. The book says that this is a typical example to let bygones be bygones. In an analysis of the line, the book says "If history was all that is there to the business game, then the richest corporations will be mere libraries... One reason God created time was so that there would be a place to bury the past."
Here are other famous one-liners:
"Naan oru dhadavai sonna, nooru dhadavai sonna madhiri" (If I say it once, it`s equivalent to having said it a 100 times) from Baasha.
"Andavan solran. Arunachalam seiran" (God commands. I obey) from Arunachalam
"Naan solrathaiyum seiven, sollathathiyum seiven" (I`ll do what I say. I`ll also do what I don`t say) from Annamalai.
"Naan eppo varuven eppadi varuvennu yarukkum theriyathu. Eppo varunumo appo correctaa varuven" (When I`ll come, how I`ll come, nobody knows. But when I need to come, I`ll be there) from Muthu.
"Nethu naan coolie. Inniku naan nadigan. Naalaikku... Silaper solranga naan eppadi varuven appadi varuven...naan eppadi varuvennu andavanukkum mattum thaan theriyum. (Yesterday I was a coolie. Today, I`m an actor. Tomorrow...Some people say I`ll come like this I`ll come like that. But only God knows how I`ll come) from Uzhaippali.
"Nee virumburavalai kattikiruthai vida unnai virumburavalai kattikitta, un vazhkkai santhoshama irrukkum" (You`ll be happier if you marry the one who loves you instead of the one you love) from Valli.
The book has some 30 such one-liners and has been penned by P C Balasubramanian, director of Matrix Business Services (an employee background verification agency) and Raja Krishnamoorthy, director of TalentMaximus (a Human Resources services organisation).
The book was formally launched in Chennai by Rajinikanth's mentor, ace director K Balachander, who handed over the first copy to actor, media entrepreneur and long-time Rajini associate Radhika Sarath Kumar. Rajinikanth's elder daughter Aishwarya Danush was also present on the occasion.

How Petrol Pump Employees Short Change You:-
Here's how the scam works:
We normally ask them to fill up petrol worth some round number - say Rs 1000
and hand them our credit card or cash.
The attendant punches in 1000 on the numeric keypad on the meter. We are
careful enough to check that the meter is reset to ZERO before they begin
pumping. We are watching the numbers spin and the amount gets to something
like 800+ At this moment - another pump attendant hands us our bill or asks
us to sign the credit card slip. We sign the slip or collect our bill and we
turn around to find that the pump attendant is done and the meter has
stopped spinning and is flashing Rs 1000. We collect our bill and we leave.
At this point we have likely been cheated out of Rs 150-200. This happened
to me today. I got suspicious that the last 200 bucks worth seemed to have
gotten done rather fast.
I pointed out to the attendant that the amount was FLASHING when the pump
stopped. Immediately, I told him to fill up another Rs 200. This time I
watched the meter all the way. It stopped at Rs 200 - but the number was NOT
FLASHING. Also the lower display was still displaying the rate - Rs 44.29 In
the earlier case - the lower display was BLANK. I pointed out to the
attendant that the display was not flashing.
Also - I asked him to top up the tank and paid the second bill also with my
credit card and asked for a bill. The total fuel dispensed into my car was
43 litres. My fuel tank capacity is 42. I immediately asked for their
complaint book and showed them my bills.
Immediately about 4 attendants gathered around me and tried to make some
excuses. One of them took my fuel bills and disappeared. I pointed out that
one of them had quietly taken my bills away - but I still held the credit
card slips in my hand. I said - you can take these too I can get a print out
from the bank / internet. I told them they could either give me the
complaint book then and there or I could go directly to the HPCL manager
(HPCL is a client).
I quietly told them the name of the manager for West zone sales at
Hindustan Petroleum and showed them his phone number saved on my mobile.
PROMPTLY - one of the attendants apologized, said there could be a mistake
and handed me Rs 500. The ease with which he paid me suggests that their
income from this is much higher.
So here's what you can do to avoid getting scammed:-
1. Don't buy fuel in round numbers - ask for a full tank especially when
paying by card.
2. If you are in a hurry and must buy in round numbers - watch the meter ALL
THE WAY.
3. Do not hand them your credit card before the transaction is complete.
4. Ensure that when the meter stops - the amount display is NOT FLASHING
Better still - you can trap them - if you wait to fill up until your tank is
almost empty, then buy Rs 1200 worth of fuel. pay for it - and then ask them
to top it up on a second transaction if the meter has been flashing when
pumping stops. If the total fuel exceeds your tank capacity, point it out to
them and insist on the complaint book. You can tell them you are sure you
had at least 10 litres in your tank. My guess is they will quietly hand you
Rs 500 and try to hush it up.
I have checked this on electronics pumps made by GILBARCO and DRESSER and
WAYNE. On the old analog pumps, if the pumping stops midway - the display
does not move to the higher round number

ALEXANDER - The Great's Last 3 Wishes
Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests,his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.
He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit him to reach his distant homeland.
So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail."
With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.
1) "My first desire is that", said Alexander, "My physicians alone must" carry my coffin."
2) After a pause, he continued, "Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury".
3) The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued. "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin".
The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dared bring the question to their lips.. Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart.
"O king, we assure you that all your wishes will be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"
At this Alexander took a deep breath and said:
"I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt.
Lessons to be learnt from last 3 wishes of King Alexander...
I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor on this earth can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death.
So let not people take life for granted.
The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the path to the graveyard is to tell People that not even a fraction of gold will come with me. I spent all my life Greed of Power, earning riches but cannot take anything with me.
Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.
And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I go out of this world".
With these words, the king closed his eyes.
Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last. . . .
LESSON TO LEARN:
Remember, your Health is in your own hands, look after it.
Wealth is only meaningful if you can share and also enjoy while you are still alive, kicking & healthy.
What you do for yourself, dies with you.
But what you do for others will live for ever.
Leave the Legacy behind.
