Puzzle - Sarita

My question: is it Sarita South Indian or North Indian?


Read the story below:

Sarita is a very good teacher in the school ... 


*Sarita*: - Tell me where is the Taj Mahal .... 🕌


*Students*:  Agra ...  


*Sarita* : Wrong ... It's in Bengaluru...


The students all got into thinking .. and were confused

😮😲

The students told this thing to their parents.   


The very next day, all the parents reached the school and started complaining to Sarita teacher that why are you teaching the children wrong ..


*Sarita to all the parents:* 👇🏽👇🏽


First of all you should deposit the fees of the last six months 💰

Till the fees are deposited Taj Mahal will remain in *Bengaluru*.

🤣😂

Roja In A Generation

I saw this movie on tv today after many years. The saw it for the first time the year it was released - in 1992.

It was patriotic, had good songs. AR Rehman made his debut in this movie. Mani Ratnam himself was new. 


My life was starting. I had just moved to a new city. I was just beginning my career.


It's now a generation later. Life looks so different now. So so so many things have happened in the intervening years. My professional career is long since over. The work I do is something I had never imagined, I hadn't studied for it. I hadn't even remotely imagined then what i would be doing today or how I would be today.




I guess

Cementing A Relationship

Many women suggest or insist that rapists should have their private parts castrated. 


I agree if the rapist is like the Nirbhaya ones.


I have another suggestion. Females who falsely accuse a man of raping should have their private part cemented. Example would be the female alleged rape victim in the movie Section 375. My friends ARU and TKN agree with me.

Chilar Chirippaar, Chilar Azhuvaar

"Chilar chirippaar, chilar azhuvaar
Naan chiriththu konde azhukindren"

[[Some cry, some laugh, i am crying while laughing]]

This is a song from an old Tamil movie Paava Mannippu.

I have never been keen on lyrics of songs while for plenty of others lyrics is integral to the enjoyment of songs.

Today a friend sent me this:

I read this and was wonder struck. I was watching the reactions of some of my friends to the picture above.
They appreciated it. I felt nothing, same as i do when I process the lyrics above or listening to the lyrics at the top I think "yeah ok, I heard you". But these don't resonate with me. There is no emotional orgasm that other people seem to have. My thought is: Is it leading somewhere? Is there something else that's relevant? Is there something I can learn from this? When do people cry while laughing (Jokers are supposed to do that). For me these statements by themselves don't mean anything. They are, to me, just like  "Sky is blue". 

An emotional statement is just that. You ought to empathize with it and live it, not dissect it and analyze it. 

I thought how strange it is that the same thing (event or lyrics or picture) affects some people so deeply while others hardly get affected. 

I am reminded of psychopaths who commit serious crimes like rape, murder or torture without feeling any remorse.

Rekha And Munna

I was discussing with a friend the film characters of Rekha in Khubsoorat and of Sanjay Dutt in Munna Bhai MBBS. After watching both the movies (I watched the 2nd one 2 decades after watching the first one), my initial reaction towards both the characters was positive and I felt more negative about Rekha's (future) mother in law in the movie and about Sanjay Dutt's (future) father in law in Munna Bhai.

Both the parents in law were J (as in MBTI) characters, rigid, insisting that things only be done one way, seemed as though they had piles, their lives full of Must, Should etc. Rekha and Munna, on the other hand, were P (as in MBTI) cheerful, flexible, nice to be with be, easygoing etc. Rekha was seen by her MIL as a person not disciplined enough and hence unfit to be her daughter in law. Munna was seen by his father in law as a person who was totally unfit to be his son in law because Munna was a gangster and uneducated unlike the father in law and the heroine who were both doctors. 

And the way Rekha took care of Ashok Kumar, her future father in law, when he had a heart attack and when she was alone with him and the way Munna created happiness in the patients (Jimmy Shergill) and brought life back to the Bengali person in coma (Anand) seemed to belie the poor opinions of their respective parents in law.

When we finished watching the movie we were left with the belief that Rekha and Munna were dependable and good people, perhaps much better than their respective uptight parents in law.

Now here comes the interesting part. 

Think back to the movie characters Rekha and Munna. Do we want our spouses or friends or daughter/son in law to be available in those rate instances when there is a crisis and generally unavailable most of the time for doing anything useful? Do we need Munna's "jaadu ki jhappi" more than his father in law's medical skills? Are we right in assuming that J people are unavailable or incapable of handling emergencies?
Sure I cannot imagine Boman Irani (Munna's FIL) solving problems through EQ. Has EQ become so much important than hard skills? Where will mankind be if all people had high EQ and no hard skills (or hard skills that only rarely emerged as in the case of Rekha)? 


I realized that I have a tendency to get conned by elegant communication as in the case of the two movies mentioned above. I need to be more careful. If I were an elderly lady lying in my death bed, would I be comfortable leaving my family in the hands of a Rekha? Or would I prefer someone like her MIL or like Mrs Soumitra in Bela Sheshe?

Is this the kind of of high EQ and mostly no hard skills or rarely exhibited hard skills that I should be clapping or clamoring for? How did we start allowing EQ to triumph discipline and dependability?

Note:
Indirectly I am equating P with EQ and J with its absence.

What Kind Of A Person

I asked a friend: What makes a person spend his time for the benefit of someone else like Aamir Khan in Taare Zameen Par or Salman in Bajrangi Bhaijaan?

The friend replied: A person's nature, his education, genes, family, upbringing, values.

What kind of an answer is this? What kind of a person is my friend? Educated, extroverted, well read, quite knowledgeable but lacking rational thought and depth.

My friend's answer included just about every factor except perhaps height and weight.

Ahmed Khan - Mapping Names To Faces Of Actors

I  was watching the song Leke Pehla Pehla Pyaar from the movie CID and I wondered who the male harmonium player in the video was. Apparently it was Abrar Alvi who was part of Guru Dutt's team. I got Abrar's name from this link: http://www.hindigeetmala.net/song/leke_pahla_pahla_pyar_1.htm. The Wiki link on Alvi also brings up the possibility that it was he who directed the movie Saaheb Biwi Aur Gulaam and not Guru Dutt.

Roman Urdu - English Dictionary

My vocabulary in most languages is pretty low. Urdu is a language I love. And it was painful not understanding dialogs in movies. So I started this post a couple of years back. Every time I came across a word that I didn't know I would add it here along with the meaning and a hyperlink to where I got the meaning from. I should say it was a sweet exercise. 
While native speakers of Hindi, Urdu would find most of these words to be rather elementary, it was not so for me. As I mentioned my vocabulary in vernacular languages is abysmally low.
