Explanation of married life

Filed under: Cartoons, Humor — Ankur Aggarwal @ 10:20 am

Throughout the ages, men have been trying to unlock the mystery as to why their wives who accepted them as they were before they got married, subtly and with determination began the quest to change their behaviour and lifestyle once their vows were exchanged.

Finally, the riddle was solved. A social-scientist arrived at a simple and logical conclusion.

When the bride, accompanied by her father, starts to walk slowly down the long aisle, she sees the altar at the end and hears the choir singing a hymn.

Walking down the aisle, the conditioning process where the brain absorbs these three stimuli: aisle, altar, hymn, begins.

She becomes mesmerized as she continually reinforces these perceptions: aisle, altar, hymn . . aisle, altar, hymn… aisle, altar, hymn . . . and finally, as she stops beside the groom, the conditioning process is completed.

She looks up at him lovingly, smiling sweetly and thinks ‘I’ll alter him!’

What is politics?

Filed under: Cartoons, Humor — Ankur Aggarwal @ 10:02 am

Greetings!

I heard a good old joke today:

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, “What is politics?”

Dad says, “Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I’m the breadwinner of the family, so let’s call me capitalism.
Your Mom, she’s the administrator of the money, so we’ll call her the Government.
We’re here to take care of your needs, so we’ll call you the people.
The nanny, we’ll consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we’ll call him the Future.
Now, think about that and see if that makes sense?”

So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what dad had said.

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents’ room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny’s room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, “Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.”

The father says, “Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.”

The little boy replies, “Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.”

Ah, the viewpoint of a child!

Return of Zamindars

Filed under: Cartoons, News — Ankur Aggarwal @ 10:44 am

I was analyzing Emmar MGF IPO, when I realized this line.
Emmar has 13,024 acres of land of which 80% is agricultural land.

That means that a privately held company had 10,419 Acres of farmland. Now as per my understanding, most states in India have implemented Land reforms. They put a limit of 25 to 40 acres of land that a single individual can hold. The only exceptions to this rule were
a) Plantations. (which needs size to get economies of scale)
b) Privately Held forests (Seizing this land would not have resulted in any benefit to the government, as the only way govt could reuse this land was by cutting down trees. And that does not go really well with the environmentalists.)

Now I know Emmar is just like any other Real Estate development company that has amassed a huge landbank and intends to get it converted to residential/commercial property and develop it. But my question is under what laws was it allowed to purchase such large tracts of agricultural property?

And don’t tell me that the company seized over 10,000 acres of land and is just waiting for the government approval to pour concrete over it. Most of the land must be fertile and the company must be growing some crops/vegetables on it to generate some revenue. If so, isn’t it return of Zamidari System?

How to skip boring meetings?

A cop stopped a man for speeding. “Sir, are you aware you were doing 80 in a 40 mph zone?”
The man answered, “I have a good excuse, officer: it’s my new sneakers. They were made in China and they’ve turned me into a lead foot!”


BTW Augustin has forwarded a wonderful ppt describing how Indian Management works.
