Can you crack this Puzzle????!

Can you crack this puzzle?? Two brothers along with a friend were on a boat. Their boat developed trouble they got marooned on an island. 

The elder brother faced trouble walking. He was totally dependent on his friend. On the second day the elder brother enquired about his younger brother. 

His friend said "sorry to tell you. Your younger brother died. I buried him on the other side of the island". 

That day the elder brother and the friend ate meat for lunch and dinner. The elder brother let us call him David enquired, "this meat is peculiar, which meat is this?"

His friend let us call him Paul said,"David, this is Pelican meat, they are quite abundant on this island". 

David and Paul ate Pelican meat for ten days before they were rescued. 

After coming back, David was strolling on the roads and suddenly saw a sign, "Today's delicacy, Pelican Meat". 

Excited and wanting to relive nostalgia David went in and ordered "Pelican meat dish". 

After eating two or three mouthfuls of "The Pelican Meat", David went out and committed suicide. 

WHY DID DAVID COMMIT SUICIDE???

Madness takes a 1000 ney a million forms!!! A piss stain Jeans selling for Rs 50,000/-

We are smart but our ancestors had much more knowledge and wisdom than all of us put together. 

Telugu language has many sametalu. Our elders taught us so. many things using sametalu. So here goes "Verri Veyyi Vidhalu" meaning eccentric behaviour takes a thousand forms. 

Yesterday I read a news item that shocked me. The latest product that is trending is "groin stain jeans" or piss stain jeans. This product first retailed at Rs 67,000/- and later a scaled-down version was sold out at a CHEAPER PRICE of Rs 50,000/-. 

What is incredulous is the audacity of the product. A groin stain or a piss stain is something that most people try to avoid. It is the worst thing for men who tuck their shirts in. If one is wearing light coloured trousers and if there is a piss stain anywhere on the trouser it is a cause for discomfort and embarrassment. 

A man was wearing a shirt tucked in the front and let it loose at the back. One of his friends said, "Wow, you look amazing". "Amazing my foot" his friend retorted". My shirt is torn in the front, and my trousers are torn at the back". So to cover up, he tucked his shirt in the front and let it loose at the back. 

So what is a social shame and deep remorse has turned into a fashionable product. What next!! Poop strained trousers! I even shudder to think. 

Already grass-stained jeans are a big craze. Why do you want to pay for grass-stained jeans? Just go to any park and roll on the grass. You will get grass-stained jeans. Gucci sells grass-stained jeans for US 1200/-, roughly Rs 1,00,000/-.

The answer revealed - Only one reader got it right to the dot!!!

Yesterday's post was a huge success. 2000+ readers read it on various social media platforms, and many enthusiastically participated and responded with their ideas, thoughts, and answers. The following is the list of those enthusiastic readers who tried answering:

Ms. Vineela, Mrs. Vasundhara Nanjappa, Mrs. M. Padmavathi, Dr. M. Uma, Ms. Swati Thakre, Ms. P. Bhavana, Ms. Minarva, Ms. Preethi, Ms. Shreya, Ms. Ayesha, Ms. Riddhi Shah, Ms. Nandini Kulkarni and Prof. Poorna Chandrika (my Ex-colleague from CBIT).

Mr. Arvind, Dinakar Garu (IAS), Y. Srinivas, Nagarjun Sir (my ICBM colleague), Prof. Vidyadhara Reddy, Mr. Kunta Madhu, Mr. Yeshwanth Mr. Chandrasekhar (an ex-colleague from SSIM), Mr. Abdul Arquam, Mr. Pranav Pratheek, Mr. Guna Sekhar, and Qutub  (my colleague from ICBM)

Hold your breath!!! Dr. M. Uma (my sister and renowned gynecologist), was the only one to get the exact answer I sought. It may be apt that a gynecologist got it right!!

Many have guessed that it was the approaching Mother’s Day; maybe it was my tribute to my mother who recently passed away, various stages of motherhood, etc.

Women were generally considered weaker and even called “weaker sex." However, research has shown that they are the stronger sex and outlive men.

This is one line/slide I use when I have more women in my training session than men, and even when there are fewer women than men. This is one of the easiest ways to get the women on my side.

So, what were the words?

Mother             -           Mot he r

Women            –          Wo men

Lady                 -           Lad y

She                   -           S he

Madam            -           M adam

Female             -           Fe male

Her                  -           He r

Duchess           -           Duc he ss

So, it was a simple wordplay. In every woman, there is he or a man. No man is complete without a woman or a lady. But we can’t say the same for a man. In no name of a man do we find a lady's name embedded. 

That is why a woman is called the mother, and we worship her as Maa Kali or Maa Durga. All life-giving river names are of women: Ganga, Saraswati, Godavari, Kaveri, Tungabhadra, etc. Even Krishna is not exactly a male name, for example, actress Krishna Kumari.

That is all. Thanks a lot. It was a great interaction.
