Some lighter moment!

Yesterday was full of leadership advice in the form of anecdote, so I thought, I should tone down to something lighter today. And here it is -> 2 jokes back-to-back. Do read & enjoy maadi!
Joke Number 1:
A South Indian software engineer named "Anantharaman Subbaraman" arrived at American Consulate for a visa interview. He ended up waiting for 2 hours for his name to be called by the authorities.

He got super bored, pissed off & irritated seeing rest of candidates move past him every passing minute. So finally he walked up to a visa processing window & asked the authority why his name was never called. The authority told him that, they have been calling his name for the past 1 hour and a half, but he never responded back.
The reason was made clear later when the authority pronounced his name as,  
"Anotherman Superman" instead of "Anantharaman Subbaraman". :-)

Joke Number 2:
A beautiful couple gave birth to a child. And a year later on his B-Day, the father asked his child, "What gift do u want?" Child said, "Ping pong ball."
On his second birthday, the father asked, "What gift do u want?" Child said, "Ping pong ball."
On his 24th birthday, the father asked, "What gift do you want?" Son said "Ping pong ball."
The son got married and at his honeymoon, his wife asked, "What do u want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."
On their 10th anniversary, his wife asked, "What gift do you want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."

When his kids become older, and on his 40th birthday, they asked, "Father, what gift do you want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."
Then, on his 79th birthday his kids asked again, "Father, what gift do you want?" He said, "Ping pong ball."

Finally on his deathbed, all the people from whom he took ping pong balls, came to him and asked, "Why did you ask for ping pong balls all the time?" He said," I asked for a ping pong ball on every birthday because............"

And he died… before he could tell the reason!

Have we lost our brain power to technology?

How many times a day do we use some form of technology in life? Pretty much every minute: be it the usage of smart phones, laptops, tablets, phablets,...etc. We got so much used to it that sometimes we do not see the answer to a simple problem lying right in front of us. As much as I love technology and anything to do with it, I do believe in the fact that - " Technology made us all lazy, to an extent ". To get back to our humanness, we have to use only those entities which are necessary and let go off the rest. If that is not possible, then take a " technology break " once a month - see how beautiful the day turns out to be! I did one complete day, and I was so peaceful, Zen like! If somebody asks me to tell them the current-local-time , although I wear my watch all the time, I go straight to my phone, it is not that I cannot read time, it is just that my phone displays it for me. What can I say? Laziness personified! I'm sure many of you would have come across...
