Bar Stool Economics.!!!

Bar Stool Economics…!!!

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all
ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes,
it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar
every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day,
the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers,
he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20.
Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so
the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free.
But what about the other six men - the paying customers?How could
they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair
share?'

They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they
subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the
sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar
owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by
roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts
each should pay.

And so:

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings) .
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings) .
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four
continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men
began to compare their savings.

'I only got a dollar out of the $20,'declared the sixth man. He
pointed to the tenth man,' but he got $10!'

'Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a
dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!'

'That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back
when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!'

'Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get
anything at all. The system exploits the poor!'

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine
sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the
bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough
money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how
our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the
most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for
being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they
might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat
friendlier.

Do you think this is something to ponder up on…??

The aspect of your life is still spectacular...

 
It was raining heavily outside. Dark clouds gathered in the sky and nature was in its ominous best. I took a break from my work and went to the pantry to grab a cup of coffee. I had a sip and went near the window to see the rain pouring down heavily outside the glass structure. I was inside our huge office building, unruffled by even the fierceness of the nature. Through the heavy transparent glass, I could see a small girl trying to hold on to her umbrella which the wind was snatching away from her. I felt sorry for the girl, and was happy that I was not in a similar pathetic situation. Yes. I take pride for the fact that I am a software engineer. .. I have everything which a common man would envy; money, status, respect, you name it I have it. I always wanted to be software professional and here I am, working for one of the best firms in the world. But then, am I really happy? Now, I could see an imprint of my palm on the other glass window, through which I reminisced my past, basked in the warmth of the sun shine.
 
           My childhood was so much of fun. I vividly remember those rainy days, when I hugged my mother tightly during sleeping listening to all the stories told by her. Now, I have a big house here, but then it is just a house, not a home. My parents are pretty far away from me now. I have a cell phone to talk to them everyday, but then I really miss those dinners which I had with my family everyday. I could easily afford to taste all the   different cuisines these days, but the best of food there, lack the love and affection which is present in the food prepared by my mother.
 
           I threw a lavish party for my colleagues for my birthday, but then they would never replace the birthdays when my friends secretly brought a cake and at the end, half of the cake would have ended up on my face. The couple of hundred bucks that u save for a long period just to give a treat to your friends in the road side chat shop can never give the pleasure even after spending a few thousand bucks these days.
 
           The scene of me crying and refusing to have dinner on the day when I fought with my best friend came to my mind. Today, she has gone far away from me, taking away my love and with it my life, but I am sitting and coding here with a false smile on my face. Everyday I meet new people, but then I long ceased to make a new friend.
 
           It's true that I have a lot of things now. I have a nice bed, but no time to sleep. Lots of money, but no friends to spend it with. The latest designer clothes, but a worn out body. Quite a few to flirt, but no one to love. Awards for technical excellence, but no reward for the crave for peaceful ambience. A confident demeanor, but a reluctant and apathetic mind. Full of rain, but no sunshine even in the farthest distance.
 
           Now, I could see the small girl on the road enjoying in the rain with her umbrella firmly in her grip. She might not have all the comforts which I have, but then she has the innocence and fun which I lost a long time back. I have decided to come out of this false fantasy, even if it is at the expense of losing the tap of the software engineer. I am going to again enjoy my life. I am going to go out in the rain and play with the small kid now. I removed my tie, and went near my computer to shut it down. Just then, I saw a new mail alert in my mail box. I slowly opened outlook and I found a message from my manager with an attachment saying that there was a critical defect in the code and I have to fix it soon. I convinced myself that I am not going to get bogged down again by these pressures and stick to my decision. I ignored the mail and went to the rest room. After a couple of minutes, the software engineer in me came out, his shirt tucked in with the perfect tie knot, sat before the computer, and started typing,
 
XYZ,
I am looking into the defect and will send the patch files before EOD.

The end of romance....???

The end of romance…???

I love you!

 They're all saying it these days --
in schools and colleges,
in parks and restaurants,
at workplaces and in bedrooms,
 over the phone and through the e-mail.
They first say it as a declaration,
 then as an assurance.

Even people who normally don't converse in English,
when it comes to expressing this primary emotion,
prefer 'I love you' to its vernacular equivalent.
Just as the way it happens in the movies:
the hero or the heroine will flirt in the regional language,
 but the flirtation usually culminates
 with the mouthing of the inevitable
 'I love you.'

But when people say ‘I love you' to each other,
 what exactly do they mean?
That they want to get married?
That they find each other irresistible?
 Or is it an expression of affection or admiration?
Or an unstated agreement to have sex?
No one knows.

The answer is bound to be as
complicated as the definition of love.

But one thing is certain.

Ten years ago, when you said 'I love you',
no matter what you meant by that,
it was taken not only as a declaration
of love but also of commitment.
 It was sacred as a vow.
And you usually said it only once in your lifetime --
 to the person who eventually became your spouse.
 And the pleasure of saying it was similar
 to using a smuggled French perfume.

Today, you can get the same perfume
in the neighbourhood departmental store.
 Similarly, 'I love you' is now a free commodity.

" Today,
'
I love you' no longer means
you are the only one I love.
It is only an expression of feeling,"
says psychiatrist

"People are in a great hurry to fall in love.
Having an affair has become a status symbol,
 especially on campuses.''

So today, people are falling in love
 more often than ever before.
 And not just with one person.
Today you might be in love with someone,
but you are free to walk out if the relationship is
stifling and fall in love with someone else.
Unlike the days of the past
when only death could do you apart.

Does that mean the present generation
is less sincere when it says 'I love you'?
I doesn't think so.
 "
They no longer say it to express a commitment.
I believe they mean it when they say it,"

Perhaps, with culture and tradition,
 relationships have become flexible too.
 Take the case of my friend journalist
who relocated in metro a year ago.
 Friendless in a new city,
 he took to the Internet chatrooms.
There he met Girl, 18, a student of College.
They fell in love even before they met;
and when they met,
 a passionate affair began.
 But in less than six months,
she was gone, after having
declared her love a million times.
 
"I think she grew out of the relationship.
But when she used to tell me 'I love you',
 I could see she meant every bit of it,"
 says my friend journalist,

 who nursed a broken heart for a
while before moving on -- to other women, of course.
 Today, both speak on the phone occasionally,
 like "good friends."
Sounds like a filmi divorce story!

But that's how it happens these days,
 except in films where the girl and
the boy fall in love and live happily ever after.

"Rarely do we see a love affair culminating in marriage.
 Often we find that the victim of an
unsuccessful affair soon gets into another one,''
 
I views this casual attitude of today's youth as a dangerous trend.
 "
When one runs from one relationship to another,
it becomes a character trait,
 only to be continued in future,'' 

So where does this leave love?
my another friend said,
''The word love means nothing to me at the moment,"
 "But I know when I meet my knight in shining armour,
then it will have a lot of significance.
At this point in time, if someone said it to me,
 I would not believe him."

Why not?
The answer is simple --
'I love you' is no longer the smuggled French perfume.
 Say it to any woman today and
 she's unlikely to be impressed
Instead, she's likely to turn back and ask:
 "How many people you have said this to before?"

In any case,
no one falls in love with a
 Tom, Dick or Harry these days

-- something that still happens in movies,

where a autorickshaw driver wins

the heart of a millionaire's daughter.
 In real life,
 it's among equals (something that
 the strict father of the erring heroine
 is looking for when pushing her
 into a room and locking her up).

we sees this as a natural phenomenon.
 "By and large, we are drawn to people
who are compatible,
who we can relate to.
That's the in-built safety mechanism love has.
Unless it is an act of rebellion," 

So you fall in love with and marry
 someone compatible.

After that what? 

"As long as you are in love minus the responsibilities,
 you are crazy about it.
Once married, the colours start fading.
Moreover,
 where is the time
 for romance after you have a child?"

one women who, 17 years ago,
fought with her parents parents
and threatened them with dire consequences
if they objected to her marrying the man of her choice.
 "Now when I think of all those things,
 it seems so crazy,'' she says.
 
Is it really worth falling in love?
For that, we have to first define love.
And that's not as easy as saying,
 I love you.

The Talmud, ThePriest & the Rabbi....

Priest meets his friend, the Rabbi, and says to him "You have taught me
many things but there is one thing in particular I want to learn very
much but you do not wish to teach it to me. I want you to teach me the Talmud
."

The Rabbi replied: "You are a Non-Jew and you have the brain of a
Non-Jew. There is no chance that you will succeed in understanding the Talmud."

But the Priest continued in his attempt to persuade the Rabbi to teach
him the Talmud.

Finally, the Rabbi agreed. The Rabbi then said to the Priest: "I agree to
teach you the Talmud on condition that you answer one question."

The Priest agreed and asked the Rabbi, "What is the question?"

The Rabbi then said to the Priest: "Two men fall down through the
chimney; one comes out dirty and the other comes out clean. Who of  those
two goes to wash up?"

Very Simple," replied the Priest. "The one who is dirty goes to wash up
but the one who is clean does not go to wash up."

The Rabbi then said to the Priest: "I told you that you will not succeed
in understanding the Talmud. The exact opposite happened. The clean one
looks at the dirty one and thinks that he is also dirty, goes to wash
up. The dirty one, on the other hand, looks at the clean one and thinks
that he is also clean and, therefore, does not go to wash up."

The Priest then says to the Rabbi: "This I did not think of. Ask me,
please, another question."

The Rabbi then says to the Priest: "Two men fall down through the
chimney. One comes out dirty and the other comes out clean. Who of these
two goes to wash up?"

The Priest then says to the Rabbi: "Very simple. The clean one looks at
the dirty one and thinks he is also dirty and goes to wash up. The  dirty
one on the other hand, looks at the clean one and thinks that he is also
clean and, therefore, does not go to wash up."

The Rabbi then says to the Priest: "You are wrong again. I told you that
you will not understand. The clean one looks into the mirror, sees that
he is clean and, therefore, does not go to wash up. The dirty one looks
into the mirror, sees that he is dirty and goes to wash up."

The Priest complains to the Rabbi "But you did not tell me that there is
a mirror there."

The Rabbi then tells the Priest: "I told you. You are a Non-Jew; with
your brain you will not succeed in understanding the Talmud. According
to the Talmud, you have to think of all the possibilities. "

"Alright," groaning, said the Priest to the Rabbi. "Let us try once more.
Ask me one more question."

For the last time, said the Rabbi to the Priest. "Two men fall through the
chimney. One came out dirty and the other came out clean. Who of these
two went to wash up?"

"That is very simple!" replied the Priest. "If there is no mirror there
the clean one will look at the dirty one and will think that he is also
dirty and will, therefore, go to wash up. The dirty one will look at the
clean one and will think that he is also clean, and will, therefore, not
go to wash up. If there is a mirror there, the clean one will look into
the mirror and will, therefore, not go to wash up. The dirty one will
look into the mirror and will see that he is dirty and will, therefore, go to wash up.

The Rabbi then says to the Priest: "I told you that you would not
succeed in understanding. You are a Non-Jew; you have a Non-Jew brain.
Tell me, how is it possible for two men to fall through a chimney and
for one to come out dirty and the other to come out clean?"

[And finally for people wondering whats Talmud:

The Talmud  is a record of rabbinic discussions pertaining to Jewish law, ethics, customs, and history.]
