We are what we believe - Snakes and snake charmers

 India has only 4 poisonous species of snakes. But many people die of snake bites In India than the number who should. 9 out of 10 people die as they believe that they are bitten by poisonous snakes? In other words IT IS ALL IN THE MIND - WE ARE WHAT WE BELIEVE. 

This is what happens.  A man is bitten by a snake. He believes that he is bitten by a poisonous snake. As he believes that it is a poisonous snake, the mind tells the body that it is a poisonous bite and the body accepts it. The shock kills the man. 

The rustic snake charmer has a role in this process. The man bitten by the snake is rushed to the snake charmer. Remember in 9 out of 10 cases the man is bitten by a  non-poisonous snake. The snake charmer does his job. Chants some mantras, throws in some holy water, rubs some MAGIC ointment and the patient is free to go. 

The confidence that is given by the snake charmer is enough. The patient believes that he is cured. Remember WE ARE WHAT WE BELIEVE. The man is cured. If it is a poisonous snake the patient will die. But that the chances are dying are only 1 in 10. The snake charmer can still claim that the patient did not follow his instructions and that he died as a result of his carelessness. 

MORAL OF THE STORY: WE ARE WHAT WE BELIEVE; EVERY ONE HAS A ROLE TO PLAY INCLUDING THE RUSTIC SNAKE CHARMER, WHO INFUSES CONFIDENCE!

Osmania university and any other university, one ticket and no ticket at all

I have studied in Osmania University. I have heard many jokes extolling the virtues of being a student from a university that is 100 years old. Here are two of them. 

1. Two university students were in a rest room. One of them was from Osmania University and the other is from X university. The students were at the wash basin. The X university student cleaned his hands liberally and said “We students from X university always clean our hand after pissing".

The Osmania University student coolly looked on and remarked “We Osmania university students do not piss in our hands" 

2. A group of Osmania University was traveling to Goa on an industrial visit. They discovered that X university student group was also traveling in the same compartment. X University students discovered that the entire set of Osmania University had a single ticket among them.

X University students were totally convinced that the Osmania University students would be caught and taken off the train. Osmania University students rushed off to the toilet the minute they saw the ticket checker. 

The ticket checker stopped at the toilet, knocked on the door and said "ticket please?" One hand shot out and showed ONE TICKET.  This trickery was noticed by X University students.

On the return journey X University students bought one ticket and the Osmania University students did not buy any. This time the X University students were sure that that the Osmania University students would be caught this time. 

The minute the TC (Ticket collector stating checking tickets both the University students rushed to the toilets. X University students locked themselves in one of the toilet and the Osmania University students locked themselves in the opposite toilet. 

One Osmania University student emerged of of their toilet, knocked on the opposite toilet (the toilet having the students of X university) and said “TICKET PLEASE?"
