Following is the snippet of email forward I received this morning. Pretty much like Dilbert joke, a fun read.
CORPORATE LESSON
A young executive was leaving the office at 6 PM when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"
"Certainly, Sir" said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I just need one copy."
Lesson - Never, never assume that your BOSS knows everything.

Warren Buffet
Todays News :
Warren Buffett, the second richest man in world, today announced that he will gradually give 85% of his wealth(worth over 35 Billion dollars) to Charity.
What I think :
Giving away millions from billions is okay. Giving away a billion from billions may be okay. But giving away most of the billions from billions is just unbelievable. There are no words with me to describe this very noble act of his.
What others do :
When much of elites of corporate, glamour and sports world are busy with lavish spending, this man in his late years is talking of charity. He pledged much of his funds to Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This also shows his trust on Bill Gates and his work. Great people, Great work.
My salute to man with golden heart, Warren Buffet!!

Rajnikanth, Newton and the laws of physics
Recently I got a chance to see Rajnikanth's new movie Chandramukhi at my friend's place. I dont understand Tamil language but always wanted to see Rajnikanth's movie. 10 minutes into the movie and here is what I saw:
Echoes and flashes in middle of movie yelling "SUPERSTAR... SUPERSTAR... SUPERSTAR".
Rajni as he is called, makes an entry trying to save heroine. He creates a wind twister with help of his legs to fight the thugs. That was it. I couldn't digest anything after that.
Not saying other Indian movies are good and this movie was bad, just that I really feel our superstars dish out good sensible movies.
Here is the related email forward I received sometimes back. N-joy.
WHY NEWTON COMMITTED SUICIDE???
Here is the reason.
Once, Newton came to India and watched a few Tamil movies that had his head spinning. He was convinced that all his logic and laws in physics were just a huge pile of junk and apologized for everything he had done.In the movie of Rajanikanth, Newton was confused to such an extent that he went paranoid. Here are a few scenes
1) Rajanikanth has a Brain Tumor which, according to the doctors can't be cured and his death is imminent. In one of the fights, our great Rajanikanth is shot in the head. To everybody's surprise, the bullet passes through his ears taking away the tumor along with it and he is cured!
Long Live Rajanikanth!
2) In another movie, Rajanikanth is confronted with 3 gangsters. Rajanikanth has a gun but unfortunately only one bullet and a knife. Guess, what he does? He throws the knife at the middle gangster? & shoots the bullet towards the knife. The knife cuts the bullet into 2 pieces, which kills both the gangsters on each side of the middle gangster & the knife kills the middle one.
3) Rajanikanth is chased by a gangster. Rajanikanth has a revolver but no bullets in it. Guess what he does. Nah? Not even in your remotest imaginations. He waits for the gangster to shoot. As soon as the gangster shoots, Rajanikanth opens the bullet compartment of his revolver and catches the bullet. Then, he closes the bullet compartment and fires his gun. Bang...the gangster dies...
This was too much for our Newton to take! He was completely shaken and decided to go back. But he happened to see another movie for one last time, and thought that at least one movie would follow his theory of physics. The whole movie goes fine and Newton is happy that all in the world hasn't changed. Oops, not so fast!
The 'climax' finally arrives. Rajanikanth gets to know that the villain is on the other side of a very high wall. So high that Rajanikanth can't jump even if he tries like one of those superman techniques that our heroes normally use. Rajanikanth has to desperately kill the villain because it's the climax.
(Newton dada is smiling since it is virtually impossible?)
Rajanikanth suddenly pulls two guns from his pockets. He throws one gun in the air and when the gun has reached above the height of the wall, he uses the second gun and shoots at the trigger of the first gun in air. The first gun fires off and the villain is dead.
Newton Commits Suicide!!!!!!!!!!
Have Fun !!!!!

Mirror
What would life be without mirror? How would we envision ourselves? We get up in morning and first thing we do is head out to closest mirror and check how we evolved since the last time mirror helped describe. We know what we look like and try to make faces and see if we could improve or change the way we look. We have the image from mirror all the time that gives us our identity. Wonder what life was without mirror?!

Random Thoughts
Jokes around the Internet
I keep getting interesting and funny and wierd jokes. I will post them here occasionally. Enjoy
================================
The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch.
At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and
posted on the apple tray, "Take only one. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a
large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, "Take
all you want. God is watching the apples."
=================================
What are the three fastest ways of communication?
