Words on an Auto Rickshaw

Seerum paambai nambu, sirikkum pennai nambathey.
(Trust even a snake, but not a smiling woman)

Read this on the backside of an auto in Chennai. Its a pretty old saying. Interesting...

I believe her! (Naan avalai nambaren!)

Pennai nambi pirakkum bodhe thoppull kodigal arupadumae
Mannai nambum maaperum maramum seerum puyalil verarumay
Unnai nambum uruppugal kooda orupozhudunnai kaividumae
pin pennai nambum nambagam mattum pina naal varayil pinvaruma?

Hey, I'm Red Hat Linux.What are you?



You are Red Hat Linux. You're tops among your peers, but still get no respect from them.  It's all right with you.  You have your sights set higher.

Royal Enfield Bullet 350

Guys, I have bought a Royal Enfield Bullet 350. Its 1974 model and maroon colour. The thump is awesome. It has got a few issues like broken indicators, the seat and gear etc. But the only big and very important issue I feel is the oil and fuel leakage. Will have to check that up before I take it for a long ride. Now we have 3 Enfields at home.

Thinking of doing some modifications to it a lil later. Lets check the performance and then go for them one by one.

Girls can do the trick of changing you into someone you aren't by trying to keep you who you are!

No kids please for 10 years...

Have we always been cribbing about Less money being divided among more people, about more traffic jam, about lot of bad politicians, bad cops, bad people, over consumption of resource, over population?

Yes.

But have we ever thought what we are going to do about it?

No.

What can we do about it? We can't do anything about it. We can't go and stop bribery, we cant go and check in every house if the energy consumption is done effectively, we cant control the traffic jam... Yes, non of this practically possible. But I'm sure we can realize our responsibility and work towards it.

I just came across this post on Desicritics by Chandra. Read that here.
That's a brilliant post. All that we need to do is make sure you don't have more than 1 kid, or possibly non for next 5 or 10 years. And if that costs you next generation itself, I'd say sacrifice it for your country. Am sure that is possible. If you are desperate, adopt one. And make sure you don't waste water or energy, make sure you drive properly with self discipline, you stop taking bribe. That's all it takes. Am sure that is 100% humanly possible. Then you know what, we will be stopping bribery, we will be consuming less energy, we will be controlling the traffic, and we will be for god sake controlling the population!

All that we need is self discipline and Am sure its no great deal to cultivate it. We don't need a revolution for this.
