[h=3]This Kochi restaurant has installed a community fridge for people to donate excess food for the needy[/h] In an attempt to contribute to the society and feed the needy, Minu Pauline — owner of Pappadavada, a restaurant chain in Ernakulam, Kerala — has installed a fridge, accessible 24*7, where the restaurant keeps 50 food packets every day, and people willing to donate excess food are welcome to do so as well. With the inauguration of her second outlet in the city on March 23, Pauline, who calls the initiative 'Nanma Maram' or 'virtue tree', installed the community fridge under a tree. “Anyone can leave leftover food here in this refrigerator so that it can be a solace to the hungry and the starved.

[h=3]Sexual harassment is widespread in India: Study[/h] Washington D.C, Mar 29 (ANI): After the Nirbhaya gang rape in December 2012, India strengthened its law, but now a recent study suggests that sexual harassment remains a pervasive problem. The research by a Michigan State University criminologist found that about 40 percent of women surveyed in Delhi have been sexually harassed in a public place such as a bus or park in the past year, with most of the crimes occurring in the daytime and 58 percent were sexually harassed at least once during their lifetime. Further, 33 percent of women have stopped going out in public and 17 percent have quit their jobs rather than face harassment, or worse, in public places.

In case if the borrower is dead, Bank after his death, used to obtain in stamp paper a letter called " Continuing liability" signed by all legal heirs to recover the debt due from the deceased.

Here in this case Mallayya is alive.Without obtaining a guarantee bond from the son nothing could be recovered fro him.
Otherwise, Banks have to prove that the son's property is not self acquired; only bought out of the diverted funds of Mallayya.

The crimes are on the raise; but I doubt the reliability of this survey. It appears to be a sustained effort to tarnish the image of India.
 
That is the 'beauty' of Statistics. :rolleyes:

The % can be calculated out of a small number of cases which is not randomized.

It is "Lies, Blasphemy and Statistics!" in that order- when manipulated! :lie:

I am sure the crime against women has always existed. :(
The news spreads farther, wider and faster - thanks to the sensational media. :horn:
 
123. Monte Carlo Fallacy



If the wheel in a casino shows up even numbers 9 consecutive times, what will be the next number shown? Will it be even or odd? Most people will guess that the next number will be odd, according to the Law of Averages.

Statisticians call this as “Monte Carlo Fallacy”. In fact the Law of Averages does not exist! There is no unseen influence, which would try to balance the wheel’s past and future spins, to guarantee that the odd numbers and the even numbers show up equally frequently!

The wheel always comes up with random numbers. Whenever an event occurs, that is completely unpredictable based on its context, it is called a random event.

Randomness is very important in many games and in the several surveys conducted for various purposes. If the persons are not picked up at random, the results of the surveys will be misleading, inaccurate and completely useless.

It is quite common to find some people inappropriately rich - compared to their qualification and profession.

I find some stinking rich people live off and pose off the money made by selling the land and plots
bought by some clever ancestor( aka muth thaathaa) for a peanut - with a great foresight. :rolleyes:

There is nothing great in being rich in this manner and nothing shameful in being not rich! :thumb:
 
When people belong to the '99 Club' , they lose sleep till they make it 100.

The plight of those who belong to the '98 Club' is even worse! :tsk:

They will be scheming and plotting all their lives (aka vEppilai adikkarathu)

to reach their target of 99 first and then 100!

Poor wretched rich people - making the most wonderful specimens of oxymoron. :rolleyes:

 
7. ஏழு ஜாடித் தங்கம்!



அரசனுக்கு நாவிதனான அவன்
பரம சுகமாகவே வாழ்ந்து வந்தான்.

இல்லை எந்தக் குறையும், அரசன்
அள்ளித் தந்த தங்கக் காசுகளால்.

காட்டு வழியே செல்லும்போது, ஒரு
காட்டுக் குரல் அவனிடம் கேட்டது,

“வேண்டுமா உனக்கு ஏழு ஜாடித் தங்கம்?”
“வேண்டும்! வேண்டும்!” என்றான் அவன்.

மரத்தில் வாழ்ந்த யக்ஷனின் குரலே அது!
மரத்திலேயே அவன் மறைந்திருந்தான்.

“வீட்டுக்குப் போவாய்! நான் உன்னுடைய
வீட்டிலேயே வைத்து விட்டேன் அதை!”

ஓட்டமும் நடையுமாக, மூச்சிரைக்க
வீட்டை அடைந்தவன் அங்கு கண்டது

அழகிய வேலைப்பாடுகள் நிறைந்த
ஏழு ஜாடிகளில் தங்கக் காசுகள்!

ஆறு ஜாடிகள் நிரம்பி வழிந்தாலும்,
ஒரு ஜாடியில் குறைவாக இருந்தது.

மறு எண்ணம் இல்லாமல் அவன்
நிரப்ப முயன்றான் அந்த ஜாடியை.

தன் செல்வங்கள் அனைத்தையும்,
தன் முன் உள்ள ஜாடியில் இட்டான்.

வீட்டில் இருந்த பொருட்களை எல்லாம்
விற்றுத் தங்கமாக மாற்றி இட்டான்.

அரசனிடம் கெஞ்சியும், கூத்தாடியும்,
அதிகக் காசுகள் பெற்று இட்டான்.

பிச்சை எடுத்தும் கூட முயன்றான்;
இச்சை மட்டும் நிறைவேறவில்லை.

மாய ஜாடி நிறையவே இல்லை!
மன்னன் அவனிடம் கேட்டான்,

“முன்னம் நன்றாக இருந்தாய் நீ!
இன்னம் கூலி அதிகம் பெற்றாலும்,

சின்னத்தனம் ஏன் சொல்? உனக்கு
மின்னும் ஏழு ஜாடிகள் கிடைத்தா?”

திடுக்கிட்ட நாவிதனிடம், அரசன்
வெடுக்கென்று சொன்னான் இதை,

“ஒரு தங்கக் காசு கூட உன்னால்
விரும்பிச் செலவு செய்ய முடியாது!

ஒரு நாளும் அந்த மாய ஜாடியை
ஒருவராலும் நிரப்பவே முடியாது!

அது இருந்தாலே உன் குடும்பம்
அகதி ஆகிவிடும் திருப்பிக் கொடு!”

காட்டையடைந்து யக்ஷனிடம் சொன்னான்,
“மீட்டுக்கொள் உன் ஏழு தாங்க ஜாடிகளை;

வீட்டை விட்டுப் போனாலே போதும்;
மாட்டி விட்டு வேடிக்கை வேண்டாம்!”

“நல்லது அப்படியே” என்றான் யக்ஷன்.
நல்ல காலம் பிறக்கும் என்று நம்பி,

வீட்டை அடைந்தால் ஜாடிகளை அவன்
போட்டிருந்த செல்வத்துடனே காணோம்!

புது வெள்ளம் பழைய வெள்ளத்தை அடித்துப்
போவதுபோல எல்லாமே மறைந்து விட்டன!

பேராசை பெரு நஷ்டம் ஆனதால்,
நிராசை மிகவும் அடைந்தான்.

அனைத்தையும் இழந்து நின்றதால்,
களைத்துப் போய்விட்டான் அவன்.

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.

SEVEN POTS OF GOLD.

A king’s barber was very happy and well to do. While walking through a forest he heard the voice of a yakshA offering to present him with seven pots of gold.

The barber accepted the offer of the yakshA and was overwhelmed to find the seven pots of gold coins in his house. Six pots were full but the seventh was only half full. He decided to fill it up at any cost.

He sold all his properties and jewels, bought gold coins and put them in the jar. He did everything he could think of, including begging, but he could not fill the seventh jar.

The king noticed the change in the barber’s behavior and asked him whether he had accepted seven pots of gold from a yakshA.

The barber was surprised by the king’s question. The king advised him to return the jars as those gold coins could never be spent by any one and will ruin the house where they are placed.

The barber told the yakshA to take back his pots of gold. The seven pots disappeared magically, but along with the gold coins deposited by the barber.

He is left penniless, defeated and tired because of his greed!

Wonder where the glee of this little chap would flee

when the grandpa reacts to the rude wake up call

of this cutie pie jumping over his knee!

I have seen grandparents who blow a fuse in their head when their midday nap

of 40 winks is disturbed by their zestful, restless, pesky grand kids! :rolleyes:

  • [h=3]Arvind Swamy returns to Bollywood after 15 years[/h] Mumbai, March 31 (IANS) Actor Arvind Swamy, who made his Bollywood debut with Mani Ratnam's 1992 film "Roja", is returning to the Hindi film world with debutant director Tanuj Bhramar's upcoming film "Dear Dad". "Dear Dad" is a bitter-sweet coming of age story involving a father-son duo -- 14 year old Shivam and his 45-year-old father Nitin Swaminathan, a statement said. Unexpected confessions, weird strangers, accidental meetings, a drunken escapade and singing in the rain - all these add up to a complicated tale." According to Arvind, who plays the father in the film, such concepts don't get made very often and needs to be told, a source close to the actor said.
