Education : Lets make fools of ourselves!



Now doesn't that picture speak for itself?

The first time I saw it, all that ran through my head was AC sqare equals bc square pluc AB square! Believe me folks, it took me one whole minute to figure out what the photographer was trying to convey!

Ha ha ha ha :)

If only modern education and engineering examinations were like this!

Humourists that they were, I'm sure Newton, Einstien, Feynman, Rutherford and Bohr would have agreed whole heartedly!!

Sometimes we try to be so rigid and normal(read conventional) in our thinking, that we miss out on better ideas and lose out on creativity and common sense!

All this can only be blamed on the system that teaches us nothing but how to become blind in our analysis of situations!

As Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes wrote after answering an exam question----

" All I've learnt here is to memorize this utterly useless fact long enough to pass this stupiod test question. I now intend to forget this as soon as possible, because all you have taught me is how to cynically manipulate the system. Congratulations! "

Hats off !

No wonder everybody likes that comic character!

Talking to yourself- Not quite!



Hi all!

How many of you folks out there talk to yourself? Believe it or not, this may happen knowingly or unknowingly, and this usually happens when the thinking is so hard that you tend to become unconscious of your surroundings. Another fact is that many accidents and mishaps take place because of this habit!

Here's one that i did myself today. Don't know if you could actually call this self talking, but where do i put talking with inanimate objects???

Scene: I get out of rickety bus, hodge podge and five steps out on the road when-KRACK bOOOM!
(raining like crazy)
So I start running like crazy- until i realise i need cash- so there i run into my ICICI ATM . SO i enter in and this wierd habit of talknig to the spy camera in the ATM comes up.

Me: Heyyyy! looks like I've been seeing you too often these days. Do you still ahve my money?
ATM:Please enter pin..
Me: (while entering pin) Why should i enter a pin? You like getting poked??
ATM:Please enter you transaction choice...
Me: ......
ATM: enter the amount...
ME: punch punch punch in the numbers..
ATM:Please wait while we process your transaction..
ME: You are asking me to wait? It's freaking raining outside, and I must wait for a mute machine to "process the transaction"
ATM:Network error.Try again later.
Me: F*@#cking Machine.

(After one smoke and 15 minutes later)

Me:You dumb f*@#$ing machine, playing politics huh?
ATM: enter pin..
Me:you wish..(entering pin)
ATM:ENTER amount..
Me: punch punch upunch in the numbers..
ATM:please wait while we process your transaction..
Me: you better gimme my money this time. I will kill you(make a killing motion to the camera) and take all your money dammit! I will eliminate you! I will break your screen and use your buttons as scrabble pieces.
ATM:Please collect cash .
Me:THanks!gtg..bye!


People can be stupid- Even the techmechanic. But so can machines. including ICICI ATMs.
