How superstitions start and continue through generations

Visit TheScian wiki. Check out the page on the Why do people have superstitious beliefs. I believe the story of the eight monkeys helps us understand how we let our lives be ruled by so many inexpicable superstitions.

I can talk english, I can walk english ...

All of us would have come across at least one teacher who does not english properly and yet speaks a lot in english, in the process these guys end up providing a lot of entertainment.

This was sent by Gomathy, today she told us many extremely funny stories of professors from her college. The fact that she is a good mimic makes her stories very entertaining. Myself and Latha had a great time listening to her mimicry.

At times I think it is immature and rude to make fun of people who don't know a language well. Most of the teachers in our schools and colleges would not have gone through formal training in the English language. And since now English is the language of communication in schools they try and speak the language in the best possible way they can. They end up speaknig such funny statements since they think of the statement in their native language and then literally translate it into english.

Dilbert and Jalpal Bhatti - On meetings

Image Courtesy of: www.comics.com



I enjoyed Scott Adam's dig at the fact that most meetings end up being a total waste

of time for all its attendents.



I remember an episode of Flop Show(The famous comedy by Jaspal Bhatti) in which he

had successfully sent across the same message to Indian television audiences.

Here goes one of the memorable jokes from that episode.



Just as an important meeting of Goverments officals gets over, a journalist asks

one of the senior officials.



Journalist: Sir, How did the meeting go ?

Official : It went very well. This was a very successful meeting.

We have finally decided.

Journalist: So Sir, What was decided ?

Official : We have decided the venue and the date for the next meeting.





I am pretty disappointed that Jalpal Bhatti could not repeat his success in Flop Show

in any of the other endeavours that he embarked upon.
