Mulla Naseeruddin had contested for the local body election. He was infuriated by knowing that he has lost the election.
He had created a big chaos at the site. He was demanding the recounting of votes.
On asking the reason, he said " They are saying that I have got only 4 votes.
How it can be? I know my close friend has voted for me 15 times. !!!
This result is rigged". !!!!
Suppose we lit a matchstick and throw the battery light over it. We will see the shadow of matchstick only but not the shadow of flame . Why ?
We get shadow of a object only when the object do not allow the light rays to pass through it . If it allows the light rays to pass through it , it would be called transparent .
Solids don't allow the light rays to pass through them . In this case , matchstick is in solid form. Hence we get the shadow of it . But the flame that we get when we light it, is in the gaseous state ..
Gases allow light rays to pass through them . Hence we can not differentiate a particular gas from visible light as they are transparent . That's why we don't get to see the shadow of flame .
Once Mulla Naseeruddin and his friend were sitting and talking on the riverside .
That time , friend observed a man getting drowned in the flowing river water .
Friend ran towards him to offer help . Stretching his hand , friend asked the drowning man to give his hand to him .
But the drowning man , in that emergency condition too , ignored what the friend had said . Friend repeatedly offered the help by asking the man to give his hand to him . But the man kept on ignoring the words
Naseeruddin was watching all of this . Finally he stood up and went near the drowning man and asked him what is his profession ? Man said he is a tax collector .
Hearing that , Naseeruddin offered him help by asking him to TAKE HIS HAND .
Instantly man obeyed and all the 3 are safely on the river bank . Friend was confused by knowing that why the man has refused his offer to help but accepted Naseeruddin's help .
Naseeruddin said , " He is a tax collector by profession . He knows just to take things , not to give !!!! ".
I have made the rhyming word, Hardik and Kartik !!!
Yesterday's T20 match between India and South Africa was somewhat do or die match.
In 5 match series, India were 1 - 2.
There was a need to level the match. That means to win the game !!
India had lost the toss and had to bat first.
India had a disastrous beginning as it has lost the opener Gaikwad for just 4 runs.
The next batsman Shreyas Aiyyer didn't last long.
Then came Rishabh Pant who's still struggling to bat.
Ishan Kishen was better compared to to these 3.
Hardik Pandya came as Ishan got out.
Hardik is my favourite all rounder. He started to score but couldn't find the support from other player.
As Pant got out, then came Dinesh Kartik.
Now the fireworks began !!!!
Both of them started to hit the ball to boundaries and sixers.
Their effort were such that in last 5 overs, India has scored 73 runs !!!
Sadly, Hardik could not complete his 50.
But Kartik made his way to half century comfortably.
India has scored 169 runs in 20 overs.
When I started to watch, India was struggling. But scored a good target.
South Africa was not at all posed a threat. Only one batsman reached double digit.
South Africa were all out for just 86 runs.
India bounce back to level the series after winning the game.
The title of the article is in Tulu language, which is my mother tongue.
As Tulu is a scriptless language , I had to write this article either in Kannada or English language .
Meaning :
Etu porlu tojuvaru appe .....
Mother , you are looking beautiful that I can't express.
We have a goddess Mahishamardini temple near our house . The temple is 1500 years old .
Recently brahmakalasha utsava of the temple has been carried out .
The event is of 10 days long .
Each and every day , priests were decorating the idol with different types of alankara .
That time I came across this song.
By hearing the song , my heart just melted up with emotions.
A child saying to his mother that she is looking very pretty.
Here mother is goddess and child is we , the devotees.
Same feeling I get whenever I see Udupi Sri Krishna .
Seers of ashtha mathas daily do different types of alankaras to God . It is a delightful sight to watch.
I can describe yesterday's T20 match between South Africa and India in above sentence.
Though India won the toss and selected to bat first and was able to post a mammoth target, it was South Africa who managed to chase the target with just 5 balls left.
Miller who is still in his IPL form, made the impossible, possible.
If India would had won the match, it would have created the world record of winning 13 consecutive matches.
But now it is over. Afghanistan and Romania cricket teams are having the chance to create this record.
Once Ramanna went to forest to fetch firewood on his bullock cart .That time he saw a stranger sleeping under the shade of a tree .
Stranger seemed to be in deep sleep . Ramanna smiled at what he has seen and about to go on his way , that time he felt he saw something moving on stranger's chest .
Ramanna went near the stranger to have a clear look . Ramanna was aghast at what he has seen . There was a small snake moving on stranger's chest !!
Stranger was snoring . As he was in deep sleep , stranger didn't realised what is happening . The small snake slowly started moving upwards .
Finally it came near the mouth of stranger . As he was snoring , his mouth was open and small snake entered inside the mouth and soon moved to his throat !!
At this point , stranger felt uneasiness and got up coughing . He saw Ramanna staring at him with his mouth open . As soon as Ramanna saw the stranger awakened , without saying anything Ramanna lifted the stranger up and made him to sit down inside his bullock cart and started to go outside the forest very fast.
Stranger did not understand anything . He is meeting Ramanna for the first time and now he is traveling with him to the place he is not aware of .
Ramanna soon reached the market place. He made stranger to drink water and to eat bananas in large amount . Stranger was asking the reason but Ramanna was making sure that stranger to go on eating bananas. He didn't say anything to anyone .
Soon stranger was tired of eating and started to vomit whatever he has eaten so far . He has vomited the dead small snake along with bananas .
Everyone were shocked by watching that . Now stranger and every one have come to know why Ramanna behaved so weirdly . Stranger thanked Ramanna for saving his life .
Before starting any work , we worship and pray to God Ganesh that
everything must go smooth . God Ganesh is hailed as " God of beginning " .
Once God Vishnu was getting married in heaven . Each and every God is
invited to attend the marriage . But if everyone leaves , heaven will be
empty . Demons are waiting to invade heaven . It is not safe to leave the
heaven empty . So all the Gods requested Ganesh to guard the heaven when
they are away .
Ganesh happily agreed . All the other gods left to attend the marriage . That
time sage Narada observed that Ganesh is all alone in heaven and he came
near Ganesh and asked for the reason for not attending marriage .
Ganesh said he has been asked to guard the heaven against any attack of
intruders . That time , Narada revealed the true reason behind this . As
Ganesh is fat and known to eat large amount of food , he was left out from
coming to marriage .
This made Ganesh very angry . He ordered his army of mice to dig the earth
and to make it hollow . Because of this , vehicles of Gods who were heading
to attend the function could not proceed further as wheels of vehicles got
stuck in the ground .
No God was able to lift the vehicle which got stuck . Finally they requested a
passerby to help them . He prayed to God Ganesh first and then he could
easily lifted the vehicles .
By this time , gods have understood their mistake . They asked for the
apology with God Ganesh and took him with them to wedding . That's why
we pray to God Ganesh before doing any work that everything must go
without any problem .
In a forest , there lived a fox and a camel . They were good friends . All the other animals in the forest were jealous of their friendship .
Once famine struck the forest . There were no plants or water . All the animals were dying because of hunger . That time , camel and fox decided to cross the river and to enter the nearby village in search of food .
Likewise fox sat on the back of camel . Camel crossed the river . Both of them entered the village . They were welcomed by a lush green garden full of fruits .
Both were happy . Both of them started to eat . Fox had small stomach and he was full in few minutes . But camel had to eat for more time to fill his stomach completely .
Fox sat in a corner watching the camel eating . Cunning as he is , one evil plan came to his mind . He started to howl continuously . His howling alerted the villagers .
They came running towards the garden . Seeing them coming with sticks , fox quickly hid in the bushes . Camel was not aware of all these , he kept on asking fox that why did he howl ?
Soon villagers reached the place where these two are there . Camel could not run fast . Villagers beated camel black and blue . Fox was hiding behind the bushes and was enjoying the sight .
Camel somehow escaped from the place and came near river . Fox was already present there . A smile was on his face . Watching that camel angrily came near fox and asked him why did he howl like that ?
Fox with a fake sympathy on his face replied that after eating stomach full , he has the habit of howling like that . Camel didn't say anything .
Now it is time to return to forest . Fox sat on the back of camel . Camel started to walk across the river . As they were reaching the middle of the river , camel started to sink in the water .
Fox was terrified . He was afraid that he may die . He asked the camel why is he going under the water ? That time camel replied that he has the habit of taking a dip in the water after having food .
Fox realised his plan is backfiring him . He started begging the camel to forgive him . But camel had made his decision . He didn't listened to fox and went deep under the water .
Cunning fox paid the price for what he did ..
