Messing with your heads in facebook


I saw this post in facebook quoting the prices of petrol in different countries and our country’s as well. They went on to say that the price’s highest controlling factor was various taxes that were imposed on it and the government is feeding off it.


I’m sharing the same post below.







I said to myself what ever happened to responsible sharing, I mean you can’t be that dumb and believe that petrol prices are that low??!! Or can you…?


I went to the trouble of making this small post, I collected information; I have the links to share them and prove that the prices are not as quoted. They never were and I would not go on to blame a government without proof or necessary.

I wouldn’t know how the government could reduce petrol costs, I wouldn’t blame anyone till I know who is affecting the prices.



There is a thirukural which I could quote and so little of you could understand, but I am still quoting it.





எப்பொருள் யார்யார்வாய்க் கேட்பினும் அப்பொருள்
மெய்ப்பொருள் காண்ப தறிவு.





Which means:




Whenever you hear something from anyone, understanding the true meaning and the truth of it is called being smart.




More abstract and actual translation would be:


Knowledge is truth of things to find In every case of every kind.






Grow up People, stop spamming sites and post actual information or post deliberate jokes. Don't mess with the people who would actually believe the false information you post, who happen to be the majority.

Working!! is fun and satisfying

Working!! is an anime about the interesting things that happen in a family restaurant called Wagnaria, primarily about the staff that work there. Every character is quirky in someway or the other and it makes for some good comedy and drama. I’d like to go over the characters in the series in the order of their importance and talk about how I feel about them. Taneshima Popura: Taneshima is a high school senior who is very short, she is confused for an elementary student most of the time.  She is very upbeat and works hard, but has a huge complex about her height and is sometimes pranked upon by fellow workers in Wagnaria. Takanashi Souta: Takanashi is a junior to Taneshima and is recruited by her to work in Wagnaria at the start of the series. He likes all things tiny and deeply adores Taneshima.  He is level headed most of the time and works hard. He has three elder sisters and one younger sister whom he has to ...

AMCS/AT – Artificial Mind Control System / Artificial Telepathy Telepathy: Legilimency, Artificial Intelligence The March 23, 1991 ITV news brief "High-Tech Psychological Warfare Arrives in the Middle East" describes a US Psychological Operations (PsyOps) tactic directed against Iraqi troops in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm. The maneuver consisted of a system in which subliminal mind-altering technology was carried on standard radio frequency broadcasts. The March 26, 1991 news brief states that among the standard military planning groups in the centre of US war planning operations at Riyadh was "an unbelievable and highly classified PsyOps program utilizing 'silent sound' techniques." The opportunity to use this method occurred when Saddam Hussein's military command-and-control system was destroyed. The Iraqi troops were then forced to use commercial FM radio stations to carry encoded commands, which were broadcast on the 100 MHz freque...

Mundasupatti - a fun movie

I saw a movie the other day called Mundasupatti, I’m sure you’ve heard of it if you’re in Tamil Nadu. It was funny, they took a simple superstition which is around and made a fun movie out of it. It was a period film, exploring the 70’s of rural India. I was instantly reminded of swades, a great hindi film which again explores the development gap between cities and villages, it goes a bit further to compare development as seen by an Indian NASA engineer and his old house-hold nanny’s village.  While Swades was a serious film about self empowerment and braking society’s rules about casteism and encouraging education, Mundasupatti is just a funny movie about how stupid, people are.  The movie revolves around a village after which the film is named, the people in the village believe that taking a photograph causes people to get sick and die. The movie did a faithful representation of the rural India, with its proud people and crazy traditions which make no sense. People...
