Do not regret the past, just learn from it.”

Ashok, a fresh computer graduate from a world-class University, goes for an
interview in a software company.

The interviewer is Sunder, a grubby old man. And the first question he asks
Ashok is, `Are you good at logic?'

`Of course,' replies Ashok.

`Let me test you,' replies Sunder. `Two men come down a chimney. One comes
with a clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one would
wash his face?'

Ashok stares at Sunder. `Is that a test in Logic?' Sunder nods.

`The one with the dirty face washes his face', Ashok answers wearily.

`Wrong. The one with the clean face washes his face. Examine the simple
logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and
thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the
dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes
his face.'

`Hmm. I never thought of that," says Ashok. `Give me another test.'

Sunder holds up two fingers, `Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with
a clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his
face?'

`We have already established that. The one with the clean face washes his
face.'

`Wrong. Each one washes one's face. Examine the simple logic. The one with
the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is
clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and
thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face.
When the one with the dirty face sees the one with the clean face washing his
face, he also washes his face. So each one washes one's face.'

`I didn't think of that!' says Ashok. `It's shocking to me that I could make an
error in logic. Test me again!'

Sunder holds up two fingers, `Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a
clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his
face?'

`Each one washes his face.'

`Wrong. Neither one washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one with
the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is
clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and
thinks his face is dirty. But when the one with clean face sees that the one
with the dirty face doesn't wash his face, he also doesn't wash his face. So
neither one washes his face.'

Ashok is desperate. `I am qualified for this job. Please give me one more
test!'

He groans when Sunder lifts his two fingers, `Two men come down a chimney. One
comes out with a clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face. Which
one washes his face?'

`Neither one washes his face', Ashok replies, `I have learnt this logic.'

`Wrong, again. Do you now see, Ashok, why programming knowledge is
insufficient for this job? Tell me, how is it possible for two men to come down
the same chimney, and for one to come out with a clean face and the
other with a dirty face? Don't you see the flaw in the premise?'"

no one wins over a Lawyer

A Married Lawyer having fun in his car, with his secretary.
On getting home his wife observed panties on the back seat, she tore it apart screaming "honey what is this ??"
He calmly replied : "You have just destroyed the evidence of the rape case, worth a million for me which I'm handling. You can forget the jewellery you wanted !!"
She quickly fell on her knees apologising.

No one wins over a Lawyer! Even something called "A WIFE"!!!

complaint to Indian Railways -sms-8121281212

From M.V.Ramana Murthy ,

 

Incident 1

It happened few months back.  We were traveling and I and my family were waiting in the A/C waiting room at Secunderabad Station. The attached bathroom was not clean and was giving  bad smell. Added to this discomfiture, the bathroom door was not closing tight , and I also observed  that shutter was not closing tight because of faulty door closer. I complained to the attendant . 

I also sent an SMS " The bathroom of A/C  waiting room on platform No 1 of Secunderbad Station is dirty and stinking. Pl arrange cleaning . Also the the door is not closing  properly". After few minutes we left the waiting room as our train arrival was announced. Within few minutes I received text reply from Railways,   giving an Id No and that action will be taken . After few hours I received a message that  the bathroom has been cleaned . After ten days I received another message that the faulty door has been repaired and thanking me. 

 

Incident 2 

Recently on 24 th October I and my wife were traveling by Hyderabd Ajmeer Express on our Rajasthan trip. Next day morning , I noticed there was no water in the bathroom and the taps are all dry, whereas our journey will continue and we will be reaching our destination ( Bhilwara near Ajmeer)  after another 18 hours. I was worried that it is going to be a miserable time to travel without water. Water or No water, people will continue to use the bathrooms and the stink will become unbearable. I complained to the Conductor. I also sent a SMS "Traveling in the A1 compartment of Hyderabad Ajmeer express train No 12720. No water in the bathrooms . Pl arrange. Also replace leaking valves else  problem repeats." Pat came the reply" Your reference id is 1110250019. For status visit www.scr.indianrailways.in. or SMS as STATUS<SPACE><id> TO 8121281212 . Thanks for registering complaint "  . After about 20 minutes I  received message that water will be filled at the  nearest Railway station having water filling facility. At Itarsi station water was filled and we had no problem . After about a week I received another message that the faulty valves have been replaced . It was amazing.

 

I am thankful to the Railway authorities for introducing a system where one can complain from a running train and doubly grateful that they have acknowledged the complaint and  attended. I collected this help line number from the Railway waiting room !

 

Many times while traveling by train  we are put to unexpected inconvenience , we react by cursing and criticizing. No other response. Of course once we reach our destination we just forget.  There is no use in cursing the darkness around you, do light a candle however small it be, it gives an inspiration and ten more candles will be lit . The process continues reducing the darkness.

The Railway  Number to which you can SMS is   8121281212 . Please pass on this message to your friends and it may help some one in need including you .  

The Moral Dilemma

The Moral Dilemma

First the story. A group of children is playing on a railway track. There is also a disused track inter connected to this track nearby on which a lone child is playing. Let us also assume that you are at the junction of the track; when you noticed to your horror that a train was fast approaching the children who are still playing unaware of the catastrophe. Being at the track interchange junction you are in a position to change the course of the train to the unused track in time so that you are able to save all those in that track. But if you do so you may have to sacrifice the lone child who also is unaware of the approaching train. What should you do in this situation?

Should you let the train to proceed on its track and allow the children to be mowed down or should you change the track of the train forcing it to avoid the usual track and save that majority of children; mean while sacrificing the lone child on the disused track?

The immediate response to this dilemma would have been to divert the train so that maximum lives are rescued on the expense of one. It might be thought to be the most rational decision because; considering the number of lives saved you may even think that it is the one and only recourse available. But at the same time have you ever thought that the child who chose to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

The right thinking child’s life is being sacrificed for the sake of those who are ignorant and careless; who chose to play where the danger was?

This kind of situation arises every day in our lives. You can find it happening every where. It happens in your office and at home. It is there in politics and in society. It is the bane of democracy in a way where the majority rules the roost.  Many a time a minority is sacrificed for the sake of a majority. It is not at all important even if the opinion of the majority is all utter rubbish or that of the minority’s wise and far sighted. The child who wisely chose to play safe and selected the unused track is sacrificed for the sake of that foolish bunch and every body will happily go home. Not a tear will be shed for his sake.

In the opinion of the great critic Leo Velski Julian; he would not attempt to change the course of the train due to the following reason.

First of all the boys playing on the operational track might be fully aware of the risk they are taking in doing so and might be vigilant enough to any incoming trains and are prepared to save themselves at the nick of the time. On the other hand the boy who is playing on the disused track is sure that no train is expected on that track and might be oblivious of the incoming train even if it gives a siren. If the train is diverted that lone child will definitely die for it will never come to his mind that the train can come on the track on which he is playing.

More over that track was not in use may be because it was a faulty one and not safe for the train to run on it. Hence diversion of the train on to such a track not only will kill the lone child but also put the lives of all those traveling in the train in jeopardy. May be you might be inviting a larger catastrophe by diverting the train, in order to save a few lives.

Coming back to our situation the moral of the story as I said earlier is about the brute power of majority. May be that is why EM Foster the great essayist of yester years have named his essay about democracy as “Two cheers to Democracy”; because after all the bed rock of Democracy is the rule of majority over the minority, right or wrong.
