Man, who invested in stocks to buy a luxury car, settles for a second hand bike!!!!!

Mumbai. “I was about to buy an Alto car in 2010 with the two and a half lakh rupees I had saved, when this dream merchant Raj Kapoor sold the idea to me to invest in equities and buying a Honda City within two years by tripling my money,” Nivesh – a young man confided to the psychiatrist when he was brought to the clinic this morning.
Raj Kapoor is a relationship manager with a stock broking firm who managed Nivesh’s equity investments in the last three years.
It was sometime in April 2010, when Sensex reached 18000 after having fallen to the 8000 level in March 2009, when Raj Kapoor came to Nivesh and claimed that the upward trend will continue at least for the next two years.
“Not sure if it was the first day of April,” Nivesh recalled, “But I was impressed with all the graphs he showed and I decided to wait for a couple of years and convert my Alto into a Honda City.”

Nivesh tried to control his thoughts and emotions, but they overwhelmed him.
“But how did you lose money when Sensex is at the same level where it was in 2010?” asked the shabbily dressed psychiatrist who also dabbled in the markets.
“All these indices! They are opium of the masses. My shares are down by 80% and this Sensex remains at the same level!” Nivesh said tearfully, “I haven’t eaten daal tadka garnished with fried onions or Bhindi do pyaza in last two months, leave aside Tandoori Chicken! These indices are made to fool the public.”
“The final blow came yesterday when the Sensex crashed by over 700 points. Nivesh called up Raj Kapoor and told him to sell off all his shares as he couldn’t keep up with any more nonsense. He got 42000 rupees in his account, and he bought a second hand Hero motorcycle for his family of seven,” Nivesh’s friend Nipun told Faking News outside the clinic.
“This morning, he spent half an hour looking for the AC button on his second hand bike. We tried to tell him that it was a bike not a luxury car, but he refused to listen. That’s when we had to bring him here,” Nipun explained how Nivesh ended up at a psychiatry clinic.
According to latest reports, Nivesh had turned almost violent when the TV in the clinic showed ‘Bharat Nirman’ ad. He is being kept in ICU and doctors are trying to control the damage.
“I am a star performer for my company and have earned hefty incentives in last six months for the brokerage I have earned for them,” Raj Kapoor told Faking News when asked for his comments.

Message For the Day….Control and train Your Mind For Your Journey On the Right Path !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Life is a pilgrimage to God and the path lies before you. But, unless you take the first step forward and follow it with succeeding steps, how can you reach it? Start with courage, faith, joy and steadiness, you will certainly succeed. The mind and the intellect are like two bullocks tied to a cart. The bullocks are not used to the road of Truth, Righteousness, Peace and Love, and so they drag the cart along the road familiar to them, namely, falsehood, injustice, worry and hatred. You have to train the bullocks to tread the right path, so that they may not bring disaster to themselves and to others. Every object or being in the world will give both pleasure and pain. Control and train your mind to see this real nature of the objective world. That is the real fruit of education.

“World”s Best Airport” to Double Its Capacity with New Terminal !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

Airs and graces: Singapore's Changi Airport.

Singapore will build a new terminal that will double the capacity of Changi Airport in a bid to retain its edge as a regional aviation hub, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Sunday.

Construction work will begin soon and will be completed in 12 to 15 years, Lee announced in his annual policy speech.

“T5 (Terminal 5) sounds like a terminal, but it is actually a whole airport by itself, as big as today’s Changi Airport,” said Lee.
Singapore's Changi Airport: you could spend a few weeks here and not realise you missed your flight.

He did not reveal the cost of the new facility, but said it would include a third runway that would double the capacity of Changi, which handled 51.2 million passengers last year.

 

Changi Airport, named the world’s best by Britain-based consultancy Skytrax this year, currently has three terminals with a total capacity of 66 million passengers a year.

In February it started to demolish its terminal for budget airlines to replace it with a larger facility.

The new facility, Terminal 4, will have the capacity to handle 16 million passengers a year when it opens in 2017.

In his speech late Sunday, Lee said there was growing competition from other major international airports in Southeast Asia.

He noted that Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Thailand’s Suvarnabhumi Airport are planning to expand.

“The question is do we want to stay this vibrant hub of Southeast Asia, or do we want to let somebody take over our position, our business and our jobs?” Lee said.

Passenger traffic at Changi totalled 51.2 million last year, the first time in the airport’s 31-year history that the number of people passing through crossed 50 million.

As of January 1, 2013, Changi handled more than 6500 weekly scheduled flights with 110 airlines connecting Singapore to 240 cities in 60 countries.

He recently told the Essex Echo that street art is his biggest influence. He said: ‘I like Banksy and the way he uses street art.

‘For me, the street art I do is just looking at things that are every day and seeing how little people can be used to make these things look funny.

‘It makes objects look different, it’s a mixture between things that are going on in the world and things that just pop into my head.’

Message For The Day….Like Butter Is Present in Milk,Divinity is Present in Everybody !!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

When some of you visit a temple or a holy shrine, even as you participate in the worship, your thoughts are about the safety of your footwear that you left outside. You will not get joy or liberation by merely going to a holy place. You will not get the joy even through darshan, sparshan and sambhashan – seeing Him, touching Him and conversing with Him. You must follow the prescription and act in accordance with the Divine Directions. Earnestly and enthusiastically, take the path shown by the great devotees of the Lord. You must feel inseparable affinity with the Lord, just as the wave is inseparable from the sea. Butter is imminent in milk and is invisible. So too, Divinity is present in every being and will manifest from within.

” You Don”t Know my Wife ” !!!!

Natarajan1 Comment

I was taught in my early life that whatever happens, there is no use being bitter. Never be sour, whatever happens. On the other hand, even non-events upset my wife. If there is cobweb or gossamer hanging from the roof, or, if the roof leaks during rain, she start complaining and even gets into a rage. She raises her voice as if I had climbed up and put cobwebs on the roof or made holes therein.

My house, perhaps, is one of the oldest in Ernakulam. Most houses, almost as old as ours, were either pulled down to build commercial complexes or sold to apartment builders. The result: the area is replete with tall buildings and my house and the next one look like a couple of ducklings among a group of stately Chinese ganders. Thomas, my neighbour, would always joke: “Our two houses will definitely find a place in Ripley’s Book of Records.”

The front yard is full of trees — mango, jack fruit, tamarind, wood apple — and my house sits under their shadow. We spend most of our time in the open verandah that faces the road.

My wife would look at the flats in the high-rise buildings and murmur: “Lucky people! Not much to clean and no guests to feed.”

My wife’s complaint is that there are 13 rooms in our house but none is habitable. “Have you heard of a bedroom having windows on all sides? Why? Is some kind of exhibition going on in the room? If I want to change my dress, I have to close all six windows and three doors. It is high time that we moved into a flat,” she grumbled.

Very soon, we had to attend the funeral of her distant uncle. After retirement, he and his wife were living in a flat. Those years, flats were not popular. When we reached there, all rooms were crowded with people — they were occupying even the kitchen and bathrooms; and a heated discussion was going on on how to take the body down from the 10th floor. The seven-foot coffin could not be carried in the lift, which was only five feet in length. Carrying the body down the staircase was also not feasible as it was too narrow and winding.

Somebody suggested that the body, secured inside the coffin, be dropped spreading rubber beds on the ground floor to soften the impact. Another genius suggested airlifting the coffin from the rooftop which was only a floor away. Finally, my wife came to their rescue.

She ordered them to put the body in the coffin and close the lid. She ordered that both ends of the coffin be tightly secured with strong plastic ropes. She recruited three strong persons and asked them to enter the lift with the coffin held in a vertical position. In five seconds it reached the ground floor. People began asking one another: “Who is that girl?” Someone asked me too without knowing who I was. I said: “I don’t know; but I know her phone number.”

Thereafter, her refrain changed to: “It is enough if we move to a small house”.

You don’t know my wife!

வைகை பெருகட்டும் …அந்த நன்னாள் வரட்டும் விரைவில் !!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

பரிபாடல் போன்ற சங்க கால நூல்களில், வைகை நதி பெருக்கெடுத்து ஓடியது பற்றி, சொல்லப்பட்டுள்ளது. அதைப் படிக்கும் போது, தற்போதைய நிலை கண்டு மனம் வேதனைப் படுகிறது. அழகர் ஆற்றில் இறங்கும் காலத்தில் கூட, சொட்டுத் தண்ணீர் இல்லாமல், லாரி தண்ணீரை ஒரு குட்டையில் நிரப்பி, விழா கொண்டாட வேண்டிய அவலம் ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது என்றால், இது யார் செய்த தவறு?
நம் வீட்டில் திருமணம் உள்ளிட்ட சுபநிகழ்ச்சிகள் நடக்கிறதென்றால், நாலு பேருக்கு தானதர்மம் செய்வது வழக்கம். மதுரையில் மீனாட்சியை மணமுடிக்க, சிவன் சுந்தரேஸ்வரராக வந்த போது, ஊருக்கே நன்மை செய்தார். குண்டோதரனின் தாகம் தீர்க்க உருவாக்கப்பட்டது தான் வைகை ஆறு. ஒரு ஊரில் ஆறு இருந்தால் மட்டும் போதுமா… அதை எப்படி பாதுகாக்க வேண்டும் என்பதை உணர்த்தவே, ஆவணி பூராடம் நட்சத்திரத்தன்று, சிவன், ஒரு கூலி ஆளாக, வைகை கரையை அடைக்க வந்தார்.
மதுரையில், அரிமர்த்தன பாண்டியன் ஆண்டபோது, மாணிக்கவாசகர் அவனது அமைச்சராக இருந்தார். நாட்டின் படை பலத்தைப் பெருக்க, குதிரைகள் வாங்கி வரும்படி பணம் கொடுத்து அனுப்பினான் மன்னன். சென்றவர் வழியில், திருப்பெருந்துறை என்னும் ஆவுடையார் கோவிலை அடைந்தார். அங்கே, ஒரு குருந்த மரத்தடியில், சிவன் குருவாக தியானத்தில் அமர்ந்திருந்து, மாணிக்கவாசகருக்கு திருவடி தீட்சை அளித்தார். அதன்பின், சிவனடிமையாகி விட்ட மாணிக்கவாசகர், குதிரை வாங்க கொடுத்திருந்த பணத்தை, கோவில் திருப்பணிக்கு செலவு செய்தார்.
விஷயம் மன்னனுக்கு தெரிந்து, மாணிக்க வாசகர் அழைத்து வரப்பட்டு, கடுமையான தண்டனைக்கு உட்படுத்தப்பட்டார். சிவன், வைகையில், வெள்ளம் பெருக்கெடுத்து ஓடச் செய்து தன் திருவிளையாடலை நிகழ்த்தினார். மன்னனுக்கு ஆச்சரியம், திடீரென இந்த வெள்ளம் எப்படி வந்தது என்று! இருப்பினும், ஊரைப் பாதுகாக்க கரைகளை உயர்த்த ஆணையிட்டு, “வீட்டுக்கு ஒருவர் பணிக்கு வர வேண்டும்…’ என, உத்தரவிட்டான்.
வந்தி என்ற முதிய சிவபக்தையின் வீட்டில் யாருமில்லை. அவள் புட்டு விற்று பிழைப்பவள். அவள் வீட்டுக்கு, கூலிக்காரன் வடிவில் வந்தார் சிவன். அவள் சார்பில் கரையை அடைக்க, புட்டை கூலியாகப் பெற்றுக் கொள்வதாகக் கூறினார்; அவளும் சம்மதித்தாள்.
வேலைக்குப் போன இடத்தில், வேலை செய்யாமல் படுத்து விட்டார். சோதனைக்கு வந்த மன்னன், வேலை செய்யாமல் தூங்கிக் கொண்டிருப்பதைப் பார்த்து, பிரம்பால் முதுகில் ஒரு அடி அடித்தான். அந்த அடியின் வலி, மன்னன் உட்பட உலகில் உள்ள அனைத்து உயிர்களின் மீதும் விழுந்தது. மன்னன் பயந்து விட்டான். உண்மை வெளிப்பட்டதும், மாணிக்கவாசகருக்கு மரியாதை செய்தான் மன்னன். வைகையில் வெள்ளம் கட்டுப்பட்டது.
இத்திருவிளையாடலின் மூலம் சிவன், ஆறுகள் பாதுகாக்கப்பட வேண்டும் என்பதை, வலியுறுத்தி, அதற்காக, அடியும் வாங்கியிருக்கிறார். ஆனால், நாமோ… ஊரில் இருக்கும் குப்பையை எல்லாம் வைகையில் கொட்டி, ஆற்றை அசுத்தப் படுத்துகிறோம்.
ஆவணி பூராடம் நட்சத்திரத்தன்று, மதுரையில் புட்டுத்திருவிழா நடத்தப்படுகிறது. வெறும் திருவிழாக்களை நடத்துவதால், எந்த பலனும் ஏற்படப் போவதில்லை.
“சிவனே… அன்றொரு நாள் நீ, சுந்தரேஸ்வரனாக வந்து, வைகையை உற்பத்தி செய்தாய்; கூலியாளாக வந்து வைகையைப் பாதுகாத்தாய். நாங்கள் இடையில் செய்த பெறும் தவறால், வைகைத்தாய் பெருக மறுக்கிறாள். இனி, இவ்வாறு செய்ய மாட்டோம். உன் அருளை வாரி வழங்கி, வைகையில் ஆண்டு முழுவதும் தண்ணீர் ஓட அருள் செய்…’ என்று, மனமுருகி கெஞ்சிக் கேட்க வேண்டும். நமது கூட்டுப்பிரார்த்தனைக்கு சுந்தரேஸ்வரரும், அன்னை மீனாட்சியும் நிச்சயம் செவி சாய்ப்பர்.
வைகை பெருகி, நிரந்தரமாக ஓடும் அந்த நன்னாளுக்காக காத்திருப்போம்.

சினிமா தயாரிப்பாளர், காலம் சென்ற சாண்டோ சின்னப்ப தேவர், 40 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன், ஒரு வார இதழுக்கு அளித்த பேட்டியில் சொல்கிறார்:
நான், சொந்தப்படம் தயாரிக்க சினிமாக் கம்பெனி துவங்கினேன். நடிகர், நடிகைகளுக்கும் மற்ற தொழிலாளர்களுக்கும் சம்பளம் கொடுக்க, “காசோலை’ தர வேண்டும். அதுநாள் வரை, எனக்கு வங்கியில் அக்கவுன்ட் கிடையாது. அதனால், புதிதாக, என் பெயரில் ஒரு கணக்கு ஆரம்பித்து, கணிசமான ஒரு தொகையையும் போட்டு வைத்தேன். காசோலை புத்தகம் கொடுத்தனர்; வாங்கி வந்தேன்.
ஒரு வாரம் கழித்து, எனக்கு பணம் தேவைப்பட்டது. என் பெயருக்கு, காசோலையில் எழுதி கொண்டு வங்கிக்கு சென்றேன். ஆனால், என் கையெழுத்து சரியாக இல்லை. நான் பள்ளிக்கூடம் போய் படிக்காதவன். என் பெயரை எப்படி எழுதுவது என்று, மற்றவர்கள் சொல்லிக் கொடுத்து தான் கையெழுத்து போட்டு வந்தேன். என் கையெழுத்தையும், என் உருவத்தையும் பார்த்து சந்தேகித்த அவர்கள், என்னை ஒரு ஓரமாக உட்கார சொல்லி, போலீசுக்கு போன் செய்து விட்டனர்.
போலீஸ் வந்து என்னை விசாரித்தது…
“நான் தான் சின்னப்பா. சினிமாவில் நடித்திருக்கிறேன்…’ என்று சொல்லியும், அவர்கள் நம்பாமல் மிரட்டினர். பின், எனக்கு தெரிந்தவர் களின் நம்பருக்கு போன் செய்து, அவர்கள் என்னைப் பற்றி சொன்ன பின் தான் விட்டனர். நம் பணத்தையும் போட்டு விட்டு, இந்த அவமரியாதையா… என்று, கோபம் வந்துவிட்டது. கணக்கை முடித்து, முழுப் பணத்தையும் எடுத்துக் கொண்டு வந்து விட்டேன்.
இதுவரை, எத்தனையோ படங்கள் தயாரித்து விட்டேன். இந்திப் படங்களும் தயாரிக் கிறேன். ஆனால், யாருக்கும், காசோலை கொடுப்பதில்லை. நேரடி சம்பளம் தான். எனக்கு, வங்கியில் அக்கவுன்ட் இன்று வரை கிடையாது… என்று, கூறியுள்ளார் சின்னப்ப தேவர்.

Watch Out …Zebra Crossing !!!

Natarajan1 Comment

One would think their sheer number, not to mention their sharp horns, would be enough to keep any interlopers at bay.
But this brave group of zebras showed their fearless side as they brazenly barged in front of thousands of imposing wildebeest to cross the Mara River in Masai Mara, Kenya.
Despite the queue-barging, the wildebeest get on well with their zebra friends and are quite comfortable thrashing about in the river together.

Wonder of the world: The annual migration from the Serengeti involves more than 1.3milion wildebeest and 200,000 zebras

Every year, in one of nature’s great spectacles, a staggering 1.3million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra migrate north from the Serengeti plains in search of fresh pasture, negotiating the potentially deadly river on their way before returning later in the year.

The Great Migration also involves about 500,000 Thomson’s gazelles, 97,000 Topi and 18,000 elands.

Their main worries are crocodiles, which can pounce at an moment, while many drown in the notoriously choppy waters.
Uncertain future: Many thousands of the animals will fall prey to predators like crocodiles and hippos, while some will drown in the choppy river

Millions of tourists flock to see the awe-inspiring event.

This year, Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta stood in a tourist vehicle and marveled at the beauty of it all.

‘I think it’s important for people to visit this park because it gives you a chance, an opportunity to see the majesty of our creation,’ he said.

‘It’s an event that can’t be replicated anywhere else in the world. The only place you see this wondrous migration of these animals crossing over from the Serengeti in search of water and grazing land is here in Maasai Mara.’
