Tried another conversation with some fun dialogues. Read it and have some fun.
Impact of Crisis in IT Employee's Family
Sekar (Calling his family from Amsterdam): Good Evening Mom and Dad. Where is my wife Sheela?
Dad: Just now I called her. She is on the way to home after taking our grandson Rahul from his school.
Sekar: Let us wait for her few minutes and we will start this discussion.
(By the time Sheela entered in to the house.. Sekar continue the meeting)
I hope you know the Agenda of the meeting which I had mentioned in the meeting request. Even though let me read out the agenda once again
1. Status update/Discussion on Last Week Action Items
2. Family Strategy
2. Rahul's Education
3. Medical Insurance for Mom and Dad
I hope every one have the printout of last week MOM (Minutes of Meeting).
Dear Mom can you please update the status of tasks which you are taking care of?
Mom: Sekar, I am taking care of kitchen module which involves making products like Sambar, Rasam, Curd Rice, Vegetable Biriyani.I am not comfortable in handling the tools for making Non Vegetarian products. You suggest some training in Hlite. However after making these products, I am giving to your Dad for Acceptance testing. Once he satisfied with the quality of taste, we pass it to Dining Hall. One more thing, I would like to share with you. As you have suggested during my appraisal discussion, now I have stopped crying while watching mega serials in TV
Sekar: Sounds Good.
Sekar: Now coming to Dad. Dad can you please update us?
Dad: Yes. My dear son. I have completed my tasks by paying the current bill and phone bill with in time.
Sekar: That's good
Dad: But I couldn't pay the premium amount of 9200.00 of the LIC plan which you had taken for tax reduction purpose.
Sekar: It doesn't look nice dad. I have sent you the amount already and given clear instructions.
Can you explain to me what went wrong?
Dad: On Tuesday night suddenly one of our team mate (your mom) fell down on the floor when she was running to catch Rahul. Then we took her to hospital and spent that amount for her medical expenses.
Mom: Sekar, I would like to add on what your Dad said, that was true. I got heavy injury in my legs and I was in hospital for two days. So now we don't have money to pay for the premium.
Sekar: Sheela..! Would you aware of this? As a home lead, I expect you to track these issues and send it to me on daily basis. What are you doing (With stress on 'doing') after coming from college?
Sheela: Will do it Sekar. You know that the college, I am working is very far from our home. Every day I come back home at 6 pm and sit with Rahul for assisting him for doing his home work.
Sekar: Ok. Coming to second Agenda point .Due to this financial crisis we need to change the strategy of running our family. I am looking for your cooperation in the following cost cutting activities. I want to see the cost benefit of 40 % in this month budget after implementing this
ü Asking servant maid to leave her job

ü Sheela stop going for gym and Yoga class. Use Attural (Made up of Stone for making Dosa /idly dough), Ammikal (Replacement of Mixie) instead of grinder and Mixie. Mom please give KT to Sheela about this.
ü Don't buy excess of things and store it in Fridge. Use big Mud pots for cool water.
ü Everybody go to bed early around 6:30 pm. Ask Rahul to do his homework when he comes back from school immediately during the hours sunlight is available. If not ask him to read under street light. He will become like Lincoln (Former US President) one day.
ü Use as much of cycle for transportation to near by places(It will help you to reduce fat and Cholesterol content)

The following concerns a question in a physics degree exam at the University of Copenhagen:
"Describe how to determine the height of a skyscraper using a barometer."
One student replied:
"You tie a long piece of string to the neck of the barometer, then lower the barometer from the roof of the skyscraper to the ground.
The length of the string plus the length of the barometer will equal the height of the building."
This highly original answer so incensed the examiner that the student was failed.
The student appealed on the grounds that his answer was indisputably correct, and the university appointed an independent arbiter to decide the case.
The arbiter judged that the answer was indeed correct, but did not display any noticeable knowledge of physics.
To resolve the problem it was decided to call the student in & allow him 6 minutes in which to provide a verbal answer which showed at least a minimal familiarity the basic principles of physics.
For 5 minutes the student sat in silence, forehead creased in thought. The arbiter reminded him that time was running out, to which the student replied that he had several extremely relevant answers, but couldn't make up his mind which to use.
On being advised to hurry up the student replied as follows:
"Firstly, you could take the barometer up to the roof of the skyscraper,drop it over the edge, and measure the time it takes to reach the ground.
The height of the building can then be worked out from the formula H = 0.5g x t squared. But bad luck on the barometer."
"Or if the sun is shining you could measure the height of the barometer, then set it on end & measure the length of its shadow.
Then you measure the length of the skyscraper's shadow,and thereafter it is a simple matter of proportional arithmetic to work out the height of the skyscraper."
"But if you wanted to be highly scientific about it, you could tie a short piece of string to the barometer and swing it like a pendulum, first at ground level and then on the roof of the skyscraper.The height is worked out by the difference in the gravitational restoring force T = 2 pi sq root (l / g)."
"Or if the skyscraper has an outside emergency staircase, it would be easier to walk up it & mark off the height of the skyscraper in barometer lengths, then add them up."
"If you merely wanted to be boring and orthodox about it, of course, you could use the barometer to measure the air pressure on the roof of the skyscraper and on the ground, and convert the difference in millibars into feet to give the height of the building."
"But since we are constantly being exhorted to exercise independence of mind and apply scientific methods, undoubtedly the best way would be to knock on the janitor's door and say to him, 'If you would like a nice new barometer,
I will give you this one if you tell me the height of this skyscraper'. " The student was Niels Bohr, the only person from Denmark to win the Nobel prize for Physics.
* Does your blood boil when you get caught in a traffic snarl? If so, then do spare a thought for motorists in China who have been stuck for the past 10 days in a traffic jam that stretches a good 100 km on a highway.
Trucks bound for the Chinese capital are barely moving on the
Beijing-Tibet Expressway, formerly known as the Badaling Expressway, due to ongoing maintenance construction work.
Traffic authorities are struggling to cope with congestion on the major national expressway on which traffic has slowed to a snail's pace, Global Times reported Monday.
The congestion is expected to last for almost a month, since the construction is due for completion Sep 13.
Local residents are profiting due to the massive traffic jam by overcharging drivers for food.
Since Aug 14, thousands of Beijing-bound trucks have choked the expressway. Now traffic stretches for over 100 km between Beijing and Huai'an in Heibei Province and Jining in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China National Radio (CNR) reported.
Minor traffic accidents and broken-down cars have aggravated the jam.
'Insufficient traffic capacity on the National Expressway 110 caused by maintenance construction is the major cause of the congestion,' a publicity officer with the Beijing Traffic Management Bureau told the Global Times.
The National Expressway 110 is available to trucks with a carrying capacity of eight tonnes and more. The road had suffered serious damage due to the great volume of heavy trucks.
This month there have been more trucks carrying excessive coal or fruit, but the Beijing section of the Beijing-Tibet Expressway is available only to trucks with a weight of less than four tonnes.
Traffic congestion and road safety have become major concerns for Chinese motorists.
Some kill time by playing cards, while some wait patiently.
In the latest bout of congestion on the Huai'an section, a truck driver surnamed Huang,
told the newspaper that he suffered 'double blows'.
He said: 'Instant noodles are sold at four times the original price while I wait in the congestion.'
'Not only the congestion annoys me, but also those vendors,' he joked.
Wang, driving from Hohhot to Tianjin in a coal truck, had been on the Huai'an section for three days and two nights.
'We are advised to take detours, but I would rather stay here since I will travel more distance and increase my costs,' said Wang.
The Beijing-Tibet Expressway and the Highway 110 are two of the major routes leading to Beijing.
The huge traffic jam has failed to dampen spirits with some people joking that 'concerts should be held at each congested area every weekend, to alleviate drivers' homesickness'.
About 400 traffic police officers are on duty to maintain order and to prevent further accidents.
Some critics attribute the worsening congestion to poor road planning and lack of proper implementation of regulations.
'If there's no traffic jam in the city, that would be news,' said Niu Fengrui, director of the Institute for Urban and Environmental Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
'Our government should pick up the pace of urban infrastructure construction and spend some of its budget,' he said.
