The Dumb and the Dumber

Recently, i started watching a very famous game show called KBC II. This show was once hosted by Big B. Now, King khan is hosting it in his own charm and style. However, there are few pitfalls in this new version of the game. There are many questions asked from the hindi serials and hindi movies. I could not understand the logic behind these questions or how the IQ of a person is determined? For example, there is a question like this...

What is the nick name of Kareena Kapoor in the movie kabhi kushi kabhi gham?
well ... what kind of question is this? which GK book is going give the answer for this question? well, is this what is called thinking "out of the box" means?

But, this blog is inspired by some other special episode of the same game show.

It was a holi special episode. the episode was played by two most intellectual properties of the bollywood cinema, namely Ms. Preity Zinta and Ms. Rani Mukherjee.

The way the game show was conducted that day made me think that probably it was some kind of spoof :) May be a spoof show would have been much better than that.

There was a question:
Which of the following person was not born on the Indian Independence day?
There were four options ... Ms. Mukherjee consulted Ms. Zinta about the options...

To make the converstation lively, Mr. Khan asked a DUMB question, why do you think the answer is A. Napolean... Can there be a dumb question like this? The answer was [A. Napolean] because he was not born on the day of Indian Independence. But, hang on, if you consider this as dumb, the dumber response is yet to come...

Ms. Mukherjee with her charismatic smile gave the answer, "Because he is Napolean"...wow, what a great response :0

Probably GOD asked her the question if she needs brain or something else...and our contestant might have clearly asked for anything other than the something called brain! might be, who knows?

உயரமா ? அகலமா ?

திரு. இராமலிங்கம் அவர்களின், கவியரசு கண்ணதாசன் பற்றிய ஒரு சொற்பொழிவிலிருந்து ...

நாலைந்து பேர் சேர்ந்து ஒரு கொடி கம்பம் மேலே ஏறி ஏதோ செய்ய முயன்று கொண்டிருந்தனர். அந்த வழியே சென்ற ஒரு பெரியவர், என்ன செய்கிறீர்கள், என்று கேட்க, அவர்கள், இந்த கொடி கம்பத்தின் உயரத்தை அளக்க எங்கள் தலைவர் சொன்னார், அது தான் செய்து கொண்டிருக்கிறோம் என்று சொன்னார்கள். அதற்கு அந்த பெரியவர், ஏம்பா இவ்வளவு கஷ்டப்படுகிறீர்கள், அந்த கம்பத்தை சாய்த்து வைத்து அதன் உயரத்தை அளக்க வேண்டியது தானே? என்று ஆலோசனை சொன்னார். உடனே அந்த கும்பல் அவரைப் பார்த்து சொன்னதாம், "தோ பாருடா, வந்துட்டாரு ஷெர்லாக் ஹோம்ஸ்ஸு ... யோவ் பெரிசு, எங்களுக்கும் தெரியும், கம்பத்தை சாய்த்து வைத்து அளப்பது ஈஸின்னு. ஆனா, எங்க தலைவன் அளக்க சொன்னது உயரத்தை, அகலத்தை இல்லை...".

இது போன்ற சமயங்களில், நமக்கென்ன வந்தது என்று தாமரை இலை மேல் விழுந்த நீர் போல இருந்து விடுவது மேல். இல்லையென்றால் இப்படித் தான் ஆகிவிடும். ஆனால், இது போன்ற தொண்டர்களை வைத்திருப்பது தான் ஒரு தலைவனின் வெற்றியும் கூட...என்ன சொல்கிறீர்கள்?

பிரைட்.

About a 'bloody' point

Hmm ... when i first came to know and started using the blog, i was excited to make my entry to the blogging world. Later, i could not manage to keep my postings regularly. Added to that, the nature of work kept swinging like a sinusoidal wave, obviously with no interest to when the wave goes downwards.
to break the ice, i keep putting something that i read / hear / experience.
here is something that i heard.

an indian and a chinese were staying together. the chinese used to eat anything under they sky leaving only the aeroplane [that flies], train [that crawls], motor vehicles [that runs] and ship [that swims]. he never suffers from any problem and never visits a doctor. on the other hand, our indian friend takes every care to choose his food from, he chooses between those that was grown above the land and that grows under ground, the day to eat non-vegetarian and the time to take his food. however, he suffered a lot with acidity, indigestion, stomach upset etc., out of curiosity, he asked the chinse for the secret behind his eating habits. the chinese calmly responded that "you bloody indians do not drink enough water". Our indian friend got furious and replied "how dare you call me bloody indian?". the chinese responded "i know that you will not get the bloody point".

This story was told by a doctor during a session on yoga therapy for occupational hazard. If i tend to explain this any further the whole purpose of the joke / statement will be lost.

sometimes, we experience the similar kind of events in the real walk of life. we tend to mean something, but at the receiving end, the other person ends up in understanding totally different thing or to make it worse, pick up the example that you use to explain him in simple terms.
