Enough reasons to go veg

Very few people know these facts. But in short, for a single day of non-veg diet, someone loses 20days of veg food.

• A lot more water is required in animal agriculture than in plant agriculture. It takes only about 25 gallons of water to produce a pound of wheat and around 390 gallons to produce just one pound of beef. In fact, It takes less water to produce the food that a pure vegetarian needs for one year than to produce the food that a meat eater needs for a month.
• Animal production requires a lot of fossil fuels. Fuels are needed to transport animal feed, to heat their housing, and to take the animals to slaughter, meat packing plants, and grocery stores. The burning of these fuels, as well as methane produced by the animals, is one cause of global warming.
• Number of pure vegetarians who can be fed on the amount of land needed to feed one person consuming a meat-based diet: 20
• For each quarter-pound fast food hamburger sold that came from cattle raised on former rainforest land, 55 square feet of rainforest was destroyed.
• 60 million people will starve to death this year - 60 million people could be adequately fed by the grain saved if Americans reduced their intake of meat by 10 percent.

These are just the top few reasons – for more google it.

Slumdog Millionaire

One of my friend was telling me at the mess table (where else!), 'bout this movie "Slumdog Millionaire". Thought i could share my review on my blog.

This movie slumdog millionaire is about a "slumdog" becoming a millionaire...
OK let me put it this way, an uneducated boy from the slums of mumbai winning 20 million rupees by playing the game - "who wants to be a millionaire?"
The movie has been directed in a very different way, a way one might not even expect on knowing its story. (stop reading this post if you have already seen it, and stop reading it if you dont wana see it). The movie starts with this guy in a police station! And he is one question away from winning that big fat prize money! So how does Danny Boyle (the director) expect us to know the entire movie huh? The story of the "slumdog" is shown slowly clip by clip rather than showing his entire story once and then the game. Movie has 3 parallel stories (4 if you are having popcorn!) - one is in the police station where he was being interrogated if he really knew the answers or he was cheating, second being the actual game - which was also being watched in the police station (recorded video of course - not live) and the last (if arent having popcorn) is his story and how he came to know the answers. It turns out that he wasnt cheating all the way in the game - every question in the game was related to a part of his life which gave him the answer.

Its funny the way his life has answers to every question that he was asked (except may be the naiton emblem one). Also it was touching - showing the indian masses the way eveyone would love to watch. This movie has been rated 8.7 in IMDB. (not a bad rating isnt it). Anyway i am not giving anymore details of the movie for the sake of people who havent watched it yet! (neither did i give that "slumdog's" name).

Thank me if you like it, and i prefer you not telling me if you dont!

Anyway, heres its trailer:

secret of success.

"Sir what is the secret of your success?" a reporter asked a bank president.

"2 words" came the reply.

"what are they?"

"right decisions"

"And sir, how do you make right decisions?"

"one word"

"whats it sir?"

"experience"

"But sir how do you get experience?"

"two words again"

"Sir,what are they?"

"wrong decisions"

answers impress..

Very very Impressive Questions and Answers..... ...

Question 1: You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night,

it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:


An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to,

knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

* You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;

* or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back.

* However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer?

He simply answered:

"I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital.

I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside the Box."

Question 2: What will you do if I run away with your sister?"

The candidate who was selected answered " I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir"

Question 3: Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke up & found that you were pregnant.

Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband.

Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked

Question 4: Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate.

Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?

Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea"

He got selected.

You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee was kept before.

(Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet)
Reply was "TEA" ( T - alphabet)

Alphabet "T" was before Alphabet "U"

Question 5: Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"?

People will start thinking of Ayodya, Mitila [Janaki's place], Lanka etc...

But the logic is, Diwali was a celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna Killing Narakasura.

In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after Raamavathaar.

So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated the Diwali At all!

Question 6: The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last question of the interview.

Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where u have kept your files."

Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table.

Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table,

then he answers quickly that sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask.....

And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness. ........


This is What Interviewer expects from the Interviewee. ....

"THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX"
