Leaks are inevitable!

The mini shower in the toilet was leaking. I called the plumber who fixed it with a new Shower head. After a week it again started leaking. This time the plumber changed the leaking one with a plastic shower head he had as a spare.

I think it is time for leaks. The shower started leaking again. This time the leak was profound like the wikileak!

In a movie, a comedian undergoes a surgeory after receiving an accidental electric shock. As a side effect of the operation, he gets a strange power in that he can actually read what is going on in the minds of others!

With this strange powers he meets people who are actually scheming within whilst they put up a friendly disposition with others. His exposures of people give some hillarious moments.

Like knowing the timing of ones end, if all of us can unravel the minds of others, it will become too difficult to have a peaceful social life!

In the days of Vikramatitya, a courtisan complained about a poor man of being intimate with her in his dreams for which she demanded 1000 gold coins as fee! This complaint she made based on the information she received through her cronies who over heard the private utterances of this poor man. The court ruled that it is enough the poor man pays her in his subsequent dream!

Way back in 88, a young and pretty woman officer joined our office. It was quite refreshing time that we got along so well to the envious eyes of others in the office! A concerned and caring staff member told me to stop being close to her, citing the rumors floating in the office.
I told him that we cannot stop people from carrying tales or rumors as we have no control over what others think and,in the same manner, they may even spread rumors about others. Within a month he came running to me complaining about the new rumors going around, linking him and a typist!

Well, leaks are the results of curious minds and spurious materials! So I have come to this conclusion that rumors, gossips and leaks are inevitable!

Please adjust your seat to upright position!

Whilst on board an aircraft, you are asked to remain seated with your seat belt fastened in upright position, during takeoff and landing. Once the warning light is switched to green, passengers can take off their seat belts, though it is safer to remain seated with seat belts fastened all through the journey.

Very few people continue to travel with the seat belts on and in upright position.

In our day to day life, there is no such messages but a small section of society are always found to be in upright position. There is an old saying that rains shower in order to please that one person who is upright and in the process entire society gets benefited!

Why is it that we find honesty and integrity is becoming a rare commodity? what should we do to make honesty and integrity a way of life? People tend to follow the paths frequently used by others. Even children follow by observing their environment. We need to have cleaner environment for healthy society.

Day in and day out we are seeing new campaigns introduced to protect the planet and the interests of the world like, poverty alleviation,Sustained development, green and clean campaign, campaigns against pollution of air,water and earth, Food adulteration, protection of animal species and numerous campaigns to control various deseases.


We need to have campaign with educational interventions that will become a movement and eventually lead to clean society. Although the path to achieving this will be a long one like the poverty alleviation campaign, considering its huge impact it will have on our society and the world at large, this campaign for clean society should be kick-started.

Well it is too old fashioned to write about such utopian thoughts! Let me lighten the mood by giving an excerpt from a haiku poem, translated from Tamil, which goes like this:

'I watched my young maid clean up my house with her swift and lovely movements. She made the hall spick and span but my mind corrupted!'

Let us adjust our seats to upright positions!

Action in Inaction

Take a train and settle down in your berth. Now sleep well till your destination is reached, without any need for any action from your side! Should I say that this is an example of your action in inaction? Your action is to reach the planned destination yet you accomplish it without any action on your part,once you have boarded the train!

Well. In work situation, taking decision in matters would require both action and inaction. In some matters the best solution is to leave it without any action from your end! For example, some vexatious matters which will become troublesome if you attempt to deal with it.

But inaction when action is demanded by the situation would invite liability due to negligence. For example, you know a toddler is about to trip over a parapet wall from your arm's distance. If you fail to act to prevent the toddler from tripping, then you are clearly negligent. This is what is known as the principle of liability. A liability can arise due to lack of duty of care. Here one should see if there is a duty of care that is required to be fullfilled by a person. A differently-abled person is not expected to have the same duty of care that is required in such situation as against a normal person.

Some people think that best way to avoid any trouble is to simply desist taking any decision. People in sensitive offices are often found to resort to inaction, for fear of courting trouble!

Height of inaction is to ignore something happening under your own nose that would bring serious consequences for the institution itself, say your home or office or any public utility. It is like walking off ignoring a dangerious material found on your way, unmindful of the harm it would cause to the society.

We all read from news nowadays that how those found to have resorted to inaction is being seriously questioned than those who have found to have taken wrong action!

Although it would be challenging to differentiate and decide on action or inaction, one must do due diligence by bearing in mind the duty of care expected on oneself.

So readers it is needless to say that even inaction is actionable!

Luck quotient!

Humor club meeting on Diwali day brought smiles to me not just for its usual humor content. Although I could not participate in the procedings as a contestant as the event was mainly for couples who were present on that day, I received a surprise gift from a Lucky dip draw!

I could not wait longer to see the content which I opened the moment I reached home. I am sure you would also like this nice set of swans in crystal...

The best place to find them now is just in front of my TV..

Humor club has discovered my luck quotient as well!

Rebooting the 'Robot'

Sometimes you just don't have an urge to do what you wanted to do!

I saw this movie 'Endhiran' at Concord cinema on 7th October. I wanted to write a review immediately but desisted from doing so for fear of an adverse impact on the collections at box offices!

Now that the box offices have more than reaped their quota, I can jolly well write the review, without worrying a legal action!

Majority of unmarried girls would love this movie for one reason! Yes; there is now an option of falling in love with a machine than experiencing the same predicament of their mothers who have married 'living things' that seldom emote!

Older women will regret for having aged, but there is a solace in that mature Robots may come up for sale soon.

The story goes like this. One scientist, obsessed in artificial intelligence, creates a Robot which can actually emote and fall in love. Poor scientist did not realize that his fiancée, who is the most beautiful woman on the Earth, can fall in love with his creation! The scientist was so passionate with his work, whilst the robot quickly wins the heart of the Beauty.

Now the Beauty is bit confused, if she has to marry the un-interesting character or the new found 'vibrant'lover, the Robot!

The Scientist out of sheer jealousy dumps the Robot in a dumping yard only to be picked up by a rogue Scientist, who not only gives it fresh life, but also injects a villainous mind using a RED CHIP!

Now the new avatar, the Robot which has developed a fatal attraction for his master's GF, sets out on a blitzkrieg pursuit of its love!

Suddenly for some inexplicable reason, the Beauty realizes that machine is after all a machine and switches her loyalty back to the Scientist. Rogue Robot abducts the Beauty like a Super Ravan!

By switching off the electricity, Robot demon was made to loose its vigor and some how, the Scientist removes the RED CHIP from its abdomen.

Beauty now reunites with the Scientist to live boringly ever after!

Enjoyed Ash dancing with young 'llama at machu picchu' at Kilimanjaro! Robot Rajini is better than the Scientist Rajini! In the next film, Rajini can be replaced by Endhiran! Appears that story of the movie was a teamwork-hap hazard!

You can watch the movie so that 'art and money' goes to Kalanidhi!
