Rajinikanth - The Legend

The name speaks on its own, no need of an introduction.

People who know (even very little) about Indian film industry, will know about Rajinikanth.  I am a big fan and saw all movies, including tamil version (even though I cant understand completely).


There are so many jokes around but I liked this so much as it involves two legends. With due respect to Rajinikanth and his fans I am posting one. Hope no one will get offended.

Rajinikanth was bragging to Amitabh Bachan one day, You know, I know everyone. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them. Tired of his boasting, Amitabh Bachan called his bluff, OK, Rajini how about Tom Cruise? Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it, Rajini said.

So Rajini and Amitabh Bachan fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise’s door. Tom Cruise shouts "Thalaiva! Great to see you! You And your friends come right in and join me for lunch!"

Although impressed, Amitabh Bachan is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise’s house, he tells Rajini that he thinks Rajini knowing Cruise was Just lucky. No, no, just name anyone else, Rajini says
President Obama says Amitabh Bachan. Yes, Rajini says, I know him.

And off they go. At the White House, Obama spots Rajini on the tour and motions him, saying, : Rajini, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let’s have a cup of coffee first and catch up.

Well, Amitabh Bachan is much shaken by now, but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds, he implores him to name anyone else.

The Pope,Amitabh Bachan replies 
Sure! says Rajini, My folks are from Italy and I’ve known the Pope a long time.
Rajini and Amitabh Bachan are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Rajini says, This will never work. I can’t catch the Pope’s eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I’ll come out on the balcony with the Pope. And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican.. Sure enough, half an hour later Rajini emerges with the Pope on the balcony.

But by the time Rajini returns, he finds that Amitabh Bachan has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to Amitabh Bachan’s side,

Rajini asks him, What happened?
Amitabh Bachan looks up and says, I was doing fine until u and the pope came out on the balcony and the Italian man next to me said, Who’s that on the balcony with RAJINI!!

Egg White or Whole Egg


While growing we must have boiled eggs almost every day (except Saturday due to religious reasons). I use to trade yolks for white with my brother. Not sure and I do not remember about the reason I use to get lot of cold than my brother.



Now I am following my father to have eggs at all times but my daughter does not like having yolks. This led me to do some research to find out the importance and nutrition facts of the yolks.

As a whole Egg it has so many nutrition values at affordable price but I am interested in egg white and what it does not have.

Egg White does not have saturated fat (but very little fat), zero cholesterol, B12 & D vitamins are nil as well as iron too.

So avoiding yolks means you are avoiding vitamins B2, B12, D, and iron. If you're concerned about getting enough of those nutrients, a good option would be to eat at least part of  yolk out of one boiled egg. It's still low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, but you'll get some vitamins from the egg yolk.

Be happy eggitarion.. enjoy the delicious and very cheap nutrition food for good health

Chanakya the great teacher

Very much familiar name if you are aware of the Indian history. He is a great pioneer in the field of Economics and political Science. Great teacher who molded a common man Chandragupta to first Indian emperor. Even though he belongs to 300BC his teachings and ideas are fresh for even current generation. Here are some quotes

  • Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions. Why am I doing it, What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead.
  • Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.
  • Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.
  • Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.
  • The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.
  • The world’s biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.
  • There is poison in the fang of the serpent, in the mouth of the fly and in the sting of a scorpion; but the wicked man is saturated with it.
  • He who is overly attached to his family members experiences fear and sorrow, for the root of all grief is attachment. Thus one should discard attachment to be happy.
  • Once you start a working on something, don’t be afraid of failure and don’t abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.
  • Learn from the mistakes of others. You cannot live long enough to make them all yourselves
  • There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
  • As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it
  • The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all direction.
  • God is not present in idols. Your feelings are your god. The soul is your temple.
  • A man is great by deeds, not by birth.
  • Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.
  • Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.
  • Books are as useful to a stupid person as a mirror is useful to a blind person.
