Self Appraisal
A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialed a number.
The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:
Boy : "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman : (at the other end of the phone line) "I already have someone to cut my lawn."
Boy : "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now."
Woman : I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy : (with more perseverance) "Lady, I'll even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free. Woman : No, thank you.
With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy.
Store Owner : "Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."
Boy : "No thanks,
Store Owner : But you were really pleading for one.
Boy : No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!"

Confidence
A hypothetical situation where 20 CEOs board an airplane and are told that the flight that they are about to take is the first-ever to feature Pilotless Technology: “It is an unmanned Aircraft.”
Each one of the CEOs is then told, privately, that their Company's Software is running the Aircraft's Automatic Pilot System.
Nineteen of the CEOs promptly leave the Aircraft, each offering a different type of excuse!!
One CEO alone remains on board the Jet, seeming very calm indeed....!
Asked why he is so Confident in this first unmanned flight, he replies: "If it is the same Software that's developed by my Company's IT systems department, this Plane won't even Take Off!!!"
That is called Confidence!!!
Those were the days
For those who grew up during the 70s in middle class India, here are some things that you can identify with
1. Though you may not publicly own to this, at the age of 12-17 years,you were very proud of your first "Bellbottom" or your first "Maxi"or your first Apache jeans.
2. Phantom & Mandrake were your only true
heroes. The brainy ones read"Competition Success Review".
3. Your "Camlin" geometry box & Natraj/Flora pencil was your prized possession.
4. The only "Holidays" you took were to go to your grandparents' or your cousins' houses.
5. Ice-cream meant only - either an orange stick, a vanilla stick – ora Choco Bar if you were better off than most.
6. You gave your neighbour’s phone number to others with a ‘c/o’ written against it because you had booked yours only 7 years ago and were still waiting for your number to come.
7. Your parents were proud owners of HMT watches. You "earned" yours after SSC exams.
8. You have been to "Jumbo Circus"; have held your breath while the pretty young thing in the glittery skirt did acrobatics, quite enjoyed the
elephants hitting football, the motorcyclist vrooming in the "Mautka Gola" and it was politically okay to laugh your guts out at
dwarfs hitting each others bottoms!
9. You have atleast once heard "Hawa Mahal" on the radio.
10. If you had a TV, it was normal to expect the neighborhood to gather around to watch the Chitrahaar or the Sunday movie. If you didn't have a TV, you just went to a house that did. It mattered little if you knew the owners or not.
11. Sometimes the owners of these TVs got very creative and got a bi or even a tri-coloured anti-glare screen which they attached with two side clips onto their Weston TVs. That confused the hell out of you!
12. Black & White TVs weren't so bad after all because cricket was played in whites.
13. You thought your Dad rocked because you got your own (the family's; not your own own!) colour TV when the Asian Games started.
Everyone else got the same idea as well and ever since, no one came over to your house and you didn't go to anyone else'.
14. You dreaded the death of any political leader because of the mourning they would announce on the TV. After all how much "Shashtriya Sangeet" can a kid take? Salma Sultana also didn't smile during the mourning.
15. You knew that "Indira Gandhi" was somebody really powerful and terribly important. And that's all you needed to know.
16. The only "Gadgets" in the house were the TV, the Fridge and possibly a mixer.
17. All the gadgets had to be duly covered with a crochet covers and sometimes even with ingenious, custom-fit plastic covers.
18. Movies meant Rajesh Khanna or Amitabh Bachchan. Before the start of the movie you always had to watch the obligatory "Newsreel".
19. You thought you were so rocking because you knew almost all the songs of Abba and Boney M.
20. Your hormones went crazy when you heard "Disco Deewane" by Naziya Hassan & Zoheb Hassan.
21. School teachers, your parents and even your neighbours could whack you and it was all okay.
22. Photograph taking was a big thing. You were lucky if your family owned a camera. A reel of 36 exposures was valuable hence it justified the half hour preparation & "setting" & the "posing" for each picture. Therefore, you have atleast one family picture where everyone is holding their breath and standing at attention!
23. During diwali /idd celebaration it was family clothes tailored from our favourite tailor down the road with all shirt pant and and sister's clothes with same cloth design.. it was common..
24. We walked to school or took a bus..the one who got dropped by car were always RICH ones.
25. Our outdoor games were gully danda, marbles, stick in the mud , langdi, lagoori , abba dubhi , Dog and the bone, chupa chupi ( my favourite) ....
26. Going out to eat in a restaurant was an occasion maybe once /twice in a year.
27. Mostly we managed with one pair of shoes for the whole year at school, our elder brother/sisters clothes , books were passed to us for school..
..
28. " Duckback : raincoats were premium what we could get starting the school in rainy season every year..

7 ways to catch a lion
1. Newton's Method: Let, the lion catch you. For every action there is equal and opposite reaction. Implies you caught lion .
2. Einstein Method: Run in the direction opposite to that of the lion. Due to higher relative velocity, the lion will also
run faster and will get tired soon. Now you can trap it easily.
3. Schrodinger Method: At any given moment, there is a positive probability that lion to be in the cage. So set the trap, sit down and wait!
4. Inverse Transformation Method : We place a spherical cage in the forest and enter it. Perform an inverse transformation with respect to lion. Lion is in and we are out.
5. Thermodynamic Procedure: We construct a semi-permeable membrane which allows every thing to pass it except lions. Then sweep the entire forest with it.
6. Integration Differention Method: Integrate the forest over the entire area. The lion is some where in the result.
So differentiate the result PARTIALLY w.r.t lion to trace out the lion.
7. The Banta's Method: DON'T EVEN TRY. YOU'LL GET CAUGHT BY THE LION.

Politically Correct
A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.
The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch.
Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.
A Fox News reporter has watched the whole event.
The reporter addressing the biker says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.'
The biker replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars.
I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.'
The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a reporter for FOX News, you know, and tomorrow's report will have this story as the lead item. So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?'
The biker replies, 'I'm a union member truck driver and a Democrat.'
The Fox reporter leaves.
The following morning the biker tunes in to see if they indeed reported the news of his actions, and hears, as the lead story:
*UNION TRUCK DRIVER BIKER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH
