A farmer separated the bulls and cows to prepare them for the mating season a few days later. He built a wall with barbed wires on top.

A young bull could not resist his temptations and wanted to mate a cow.
Other bulls told him there was one veteran consultant bull amongst them that could help...

The bull went to him and asked how to cross the wall to the cows..
The consultant explained: "First of all.. stand 60 feet away from the wall. Then run at 60mph. Then jump at a 60° angle. Do what you want then come back the same way..."
The bull asked: "But what if I mess up with the calculations and lose my BALLs in the barbed wires...?"
The consultant said: " Then you become a consultant..."

#IndianEconomy In a Group Discussion of my Alumni, most of who are industry seniors or leaders, what is emerging that India is on its recovery path. Salaries that were reduced by as much as 50%, is on the uptake and is going back to pre-covid levels.
Another person mentioned that large MNCs are signing contracts and closing them. In another case, no salary reduction.
To quote another, "Hurried layoffs and furloughs are making it harder to come back online. People are realizing the value of human capital and bench strength".

I would like to share a write up by my friend Balachandran's old FB post. This is a translated work and the translation is just outstanding and Bala has a way with words as one realized while reading the post.
The following text is from a work by Vallathol Narayana Menon, one of Malayalam's Maha Kavis (Great Poets) who was himself part of the famous Triumvirate of modern Malayalam poetry along with Kumaran Asan and Ulloor Parameswara Iyer.
The whole poem is called Oushadha Apaharanam (Oushadha means medicine and apaharanam means the same as apaharan or stealing)

#Thread - My gratitude to @rupamurthy1 for originally narrating it. It is her narrative which am privileged to share.

The king of Mysore, Krishna Raja Wodeyar IV and Sir M. Vishweswariah were in a pensive mood. They had reached a dead-end.
The proposed KRS dam was 6 months away from completion and they had run out of money. Just 8 months ago, the king had mortgaged his family jewels to king of Benaras (now called Varanasi – the oldest inhabited city in the world).
The queen has given her favourite necklaces and family heirlooms for the project. But eventually, that too ran out in mounting labour and construction costs.

#JustSaying On this platform, I express my views on few topics. Current affairs, a mix of politics and economics, humor, birding and tech.
What I look for is handles, who write well, not abusive. There are times when I ignore or not able to view and respond to tweets because of the sheer volume of info that needs to be processed.
Number of followers is not a criterion at all. There are handles that I follow just for learning - it could be about a subject that I want to be aware of but I know nothing about, it could be the way one communicates and so on.

Got drawn into Birding as a hobby about 3 to 4 years back. Since then I have been observed close to 200 species - mostly in M.P., some in Assam and few in Bhutan. #birds teach us the virtues of patience, ability to not just see, but actually observe the minute differences.
Birds within a species are different due to various reasons. It could be plumage - the colour of the plumage changes when they breed for e.g. Or for that matter the toes colour could be different. Sometimes, one identifies based on the colour of the beak and the toes combined!
Then there are birds of prey - Eagles, Ospreys, Kites, Kestrels, Buzzards. They look very similar from distance but then as we start observing them, we start noticing the minor differences.

#LalBahadurShastriJayanti #LalBahadurShastri A thread. I wrote in 2008

The Late Lal Bahadur Shastri, was also born on Oct. 2, in the year 1904 ( does anyone remember any centenery celebrations ??). However, he seems to have been given one of the shortest shrifts.
Born in the year 1904 in Mughalsarai, United Provinces, British India as Lal Bahadur Srivastava.

His father Sharada Prasad was a poor school teacher, who later became a clerk in the Revenue Office at Allahabad.
When Lal Bahadur was three months old, he slipped out of his mother's arms into a cowherd's basket at the ghats of the Ganges.

The cowherd, who had no children, took the child as a gift from God and took him home.
