Rs 500 is enough

Yesterday i was roaming with my friend for getting his duplicate 12th mark sheet as he lost his original. For getting a duplicate we need a certificate from police which should be given at taluk office where they will issue another certificate which should be given to the school. So we went to Arumbakam police station to got the certificate. After getting we then went to Taluk office Egmore. There as we were entering the office a person approached us asking what we want. We explained him everything. We were made to wait for few minutes as he was talking to another person who wanted community certificate. He asked them Rs 700 for completing the formalities and getting the certificate. After sometime he sent us to another person nearby. He asked us to get a letter from my friend's father addressed to Thasildar. Later he told us that Rs 500 will be enough for completing the formalities and getting the certificate. I got stunned for a minute. It is the first time in my life i experienced such things in my life. If this is the state how will poor can survive. Is this the situation in both the DMK and ADMK government?? Only god can save our country from such things.

World Cup - A Preview

FIFA World Cup 2006 begins today. This is the 18th edition taking place at Germany. 32 teams are participating in the tournament and 64 matches will be played. Brazil is defending the title for the 5th time, most by any country. Host Germans will kick off their campaign today against Costa Rica at Munich without their captain Michael Ballack, who is out due to injury. Out of the previous 17 edition, teams from South America have won it 9 times whereas teams from Europe have won 8 times with Brazil being the maximum with 5 trophies and as expected odds favour Brazil. However no South American team have won in Europe except for Brazil in 1958.

Germany eventhough not as strong as it was earlier has a great record at home with only Brazil beating them in the last 2 years. Supported by a huge fan crowd, Germany cannot be written off. Players like Miraslov Klose, Michael Ballack and Oliver Khan have to play key role for their win.

England, playing as one of the strongest contenders will be delighted by the return of striker Wayne Rooney. Beckham, Gerrard are in their prime form and it has got one of the best defence with Cole, Campbell, Ferdinand. However they will be missing David Seaman who was one of the finest goal keepers. Odds says England is the team to beat after Brazil.

France, after their poor display in the previous edition will look to perform better than what they did in the previous edition. It has got some great players like Zidane, Henry and its time for these players to strike for their country inorder to restore their pride.

Italy called as Azauri blues too will look to restore their pride in the game. After a disatarous 2002 world cup and Euro 2004 and a poor show in the warm up matches, it has to lift the game inorder to win their 4th title.

Argentina, one of the strongest team in the tournament will be playing for their 3rd title. Teenage sensation Messi, already tagged as next Maradona will be the player to watch. With the confidence being sky high after a stupendous performance in the qualifiers, Argentina starts as the favourites after Brazil and England for the title.

Other contenders include Sweden, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Portugal, Spain. Eventhough these team have the ability to be the champions they have failed to perform when it mattered. But nothing can be written off till the final whistle is blown on 9th july.

A baby with 3 arms...

Have you ever heard of a human being with 3 arms. If no, take a look at this picture. In China a baby has born with 3 arms.

Eureka...

With the quota being implemented and everything under control, there were voices saying that quota should be based on economical background and should not be based on caste. Yes, thats right and i personally support the idea. However in a country like India will we be able to find out who are all economically backward??? When people are able to get a SC certificate for an amount is it not possible for them to get a certificate saying that they are economically backward????One of my friend said that caste should be abolished as in France. Is it possible to compare India and France??? Ok, even if we abolish caste, is it possible in India to control the people's sentiments??? Indians are more sentimental towards God and religion. Ok, imagine that we have controlled that too, but will we be able to change the people's mentality who are ready to do anything to be eligible for reservation. Oh..it has become a cycle. I came back to the same point from where i have started. Atlast i found out the way to change India's fortune. People's mentallity should be changed and i think it will take a lot of time.

Driving Licence

Myself and my friend were talking about the placements and other stuffs in our class.

Myself: Why the companies are asking for four wheeler licence

Friend: If you go abroad public transport will not be as good as in India. So for travelling you need licence.

Myself: Oh!!!ok...

But after a few minutes i thought how can a person drive a car abroad using an Indian licence.

Thank God i realised it soon, else i would have told the same to someone else.
