ಕನ್ನಡ ಒಗಟು

ಇದು ಟಿ ವಿ ಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕೇಳಿದ್ದು 


ಎಲೆ ಹಾಕಿ ಊಟಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೀತಾರೆ 

ಎಲೆ ತೆಗೆದು ಊಟ ಮಾಡ್ತಾರೆ 

ಏನಿದು  ???


ಒಗಟು ಕೇಳಿದಾಗ ಮನೆಯೊಡತಿಯ ಸೊಕ್ಕು ಎಂದು ಎನಿಸಬಹುದು.


ಎಲೆ ಹಾಕಿ ಊಟಕ್ಕೆ ಕರೆದು ನಂತರ ಎಲೆ ತೆಗೆದು ಊಟ ಮಾಡಿ ಎಂದರೆ ???


ಇದೇನು ಹುಚ್ಚುತನ ??


ಆದರೆ ಉತ್ತರ ಕೇಳಿದರೆ ನಾವೂ ಹೌದು ಹೌದು ಎನ್ನುತ್ತೇವೆ  ,!!


ಇದು ಬಾಳೆ ಎಲೆ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಕರಿಬೇವಿನ ಎಲೆ   !!!!


ಅಡುಗೆ ಮಾಡುವಾಗ ಕರಿಬೇವಿನ ಎಲೆ ಹಾಕಿಯೇ ಅಡುಗೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.

ನಂತರ ಊಟ ಮಾಡುವಾಗ ಕರಿಬೇವಿನ ಎಲೆ ತೆಗೆದು ಪಕ್ಕಕ್ಕಿಟ್ಟು ಊಟ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ.


ಇದನ್ನೇ ಒಗಟಿ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದ್ದು  !!!!

This country was left untouched by blue screen death

 On last Friday, from airline to broadcasting daily operations had come to standstill.


A software update rolled out by US based cyber security firm led to the disruption of work flow across the globe.


The update was meant to make the cyber system secure against hacking, but due to a glitch in the update, the IT systems faced a Blue Screen of Death error which caused the systems to suddenly shutdown or restart.


It has been reported that China remained largely unaffected by the outage.


China's airline and banking sector were not hit due to technical glitch.


Reason is China doesn't rely on the outside infrastructure to support its daily operations.

Why is nitrus oxide called laughing gas ?

 When I came to know that nitrus oxide is called as laughing gas , I thought by inhaling that gas , people start to laugh uncontrollably.


But that is not so.


This odourless and colourless gas suppresses the central nervous system and creates a sense of euphoria in a person.


When inhaled , nitrus oxide slows down the central nervous system so rational and thinking becomes little slower .


This in conjunction with feelings of euphoria can make a person to laugh but not everyone laughs   !!!


Most people experience tingling or vibrating sensation , sleepy or drowsiness 


That's why , nitrus oxide is used as anaesthetic to sedate patients and releave pain .


Nitrus oxide starts working within 5 seconds of administration. Patients will be normal as soon as they inhale oxygen

What could be the number of people if I say they are in a circle. 


At that time, only 3 people are needed to match the criteria as explained in the question  !!!!


Answer is        3 people.

Where does the solar system end ??

  Solar system is an enormous place... 


It has 8 planets, 

over a half dozen dwarf planets

Several hundred moons 

Millions of asteroids and comets  all spinning around the sun.


But where does it end ??


The scientists think of 3 boundaries. 


1. The Kuiper Belt 

It is the ring of rocky bodies beyond the orbit of Neptune.



2. The heliopause

It is the edge of Sun's magnetic field.



3. The oort cloud

It is the distant reservoir of comets.



Out of 3, which one is best ??


Scientists believe heliopause is the end of solar system.


Here the charged particles emitted by Sun become too weak.

Plasma inside the heliopause is of solar origin and plasma outside it is of interstellar origin.

Bheem , a true devotee

 Once Yudhisthira was practicing a fast .


At the end of day of the fast , he wanted to invite Shri Krishna for the ceremony.


But it would take atleast a week to go to Dwaraka and to invite him .


But tomorrow itself is the day to end the fast .


Yudhisthira was worried . He wanted Shri Krishna to attend the function but now there is no time to inform him also  !!!


By watching his brother worried , Bheem asked for the reason .


When Yudhisthira explained the situation , Bheem asked him not to worry and he himself will invite Shri Krishna for tomorrow's function .


Yudhisthira could not sleep during night thinking about tomorrow.


He wanted to talk with Bheem .


He thought Bhim might have gone to Dwaraka somehow.


But Yudhisthira was shocked to see Bheem in his room having a sound sleep  !!!!


Yudhisthira went inside the room and tried to wake up Bheem.


Bheem assured his brother that by morning Shri Krishna would be here  !!!


Next day morning , Bheem in a relaxed mood completed all of his daily chores. !!!


Yudhisthira was getting anxious as the time was nearing for the ceremony.


Seeing relaxed Bheem , Yudhisthira shouted at him for not being able to call Shri Krishna.


Bheem came infront of the house.


He folded his hands and bowed his head down.


He prayed to God  Shri Krishna that if god is really pleased with his prayers , then Shri Krishna must come near him right now  !!!


How can God neglect the prayer of a true devotee ???


Very next moment ,. Shri Krishna was present infront of Bheem .


That much was the strength of devotion of Bheem .

IPL heroes turn zeros on the first T20 match itself !!!!

 Yesterday was the first T20 match between India and Zimbabwe.


Zimbabwe had batted first and was able to score 115 / 9 runs in 20 overs. 


The Indian cricket team which is touring Zimbabwe is full of IPL heroes both batsmen and bowlers.....


Both bowling and fielding of young Indian cricket team was not so good as Zimbabwe batsmen were easily scoring runs.


I thought India would chase the target very easily as many big names in batting of IPL were there.


Riyan Parag got out on 4 runs in his debut match. 


Abhis hek Sharma is a golden duck.


India were struggling at 84 runs for 7 wickets in 15.4 overs.


India need 30 runs in 18 balls. 


Oh...... India were  89 runs for 9 wickets  !!!!!


India need 19 runs from 13 balls. 


Washington Sunder is only the remaining batsman who could bat. 


India need 17 runs from 8 balls. 


India finally reached 100 runs..... 


Last 19 th over. 


Need 16 runs from 6 balls. 


India need 14 runs in 4 balls. 


Seems impossible........... 


Zimbabwe won by 13 runs.........

 It was a hot sunny day.


Mulla Naseeruddin was passing through the desert riding on his donkey.


As he rode, Naseeruddin had an urge to answer nature's call. 


Taking off his overcoat, he placed it on the back of donkey and went to relieve himself. 


That time, a thief came from no where, and stole the hanging overcoat. 


When returned, Naseeruddin could not find his overcoat. 


Angry he was, he yanked the saddle pack off from the back of donkey and placed it on his shoulder, said to donkey.


"I will return this only when you return my overcoat    !!!!"
