शरारती सार्थक की क्लास टीचर छुट्टी पर थीं, सो, वैकल्पिक अध्यापिका के रूप में भेजी गईं मैडम ने बच्चों से उनकी पसंदीदा फिल्मों के बारे में बातचीत करना शुरू किया...

चर्चा के दौरान पता चला कि लगभग सभी बच्चों को आमिर खान और करीना कपूर अभिनीत '3 इडियट्स' बेहद पसंद आई थी, सो, मैडम ने पूछा, "क्या तुम लोग बता सकते हो, '3 इडियट्स' से हमें क्या-क्या सीखने को मिला...?"

तुरन्त ढेरों बच्चों ने जवाब देने के लिए हाथ खड़ा कर दिया...

मैडम ने एक बच्चे को इशारा किया, और कहा, "हां बेटे, बताओ..."

बच्चे ने मुस्कुराते हुए जवाब दिया, "मैडम, '3 इडियट्स' से हमें यह पता चलता है कि इंजानियरिंग करते हुए भी मेडिकल कॉलेज की लड़की पटाई जा सकती है..."

मैडम भौंचक्की-सी रह गईं, और तुरन्त बोलीं, "अच्छा, अच्छा... बैठ जाओ..."

उसके बाद दूसरे बच्चे को खड़ा किया, जिसने कहा, "मैडम, '3 इडियट्स' से हमें यह शिक्षा मिलती है कि कॉलेज के पहले दिन अंडरवियर ज़रूर पहनना चाहिए..."

मैडम का पारा चढ़ गया, और डपटकर बोलीं, "बकवास बंद करो... और बैठ जाओ..."

अब उन्होंने तीसरे बच्चे को इशारा किया, और कहा, "तुम बताओ, और कोई बकवास मत करना..."

बच्चे ने चेहरे पर मुस्कुराहट के साथ कहा, "मैडम, '3 इडियट्स' से हमें यह पता चलता है कि डॉक्टर ही नहीं, इंजीनियर भी डिलीवरी करवा सकता है..."

अब तो मैडम आगबबूला हो गईं, और बोलीं, "तुम सब बेहद बदतमीज़ हो... चुपचाप बैठ जाओ..."

सभी बच्चों ने डरकर हाथ नीचे कर लिए, लेकिन शरारती सार्थक अपना हाथ ज़ोर-ज़ोर से लहराने लगा...

मैडम ने उसकी तरफ घूरकर देखा, लेकिन कोई असर न होते देखकर बोलीं, "ठीक है, लेकिन सोच लो, कोई काम की बात ही कहना..."

सार्थक ने तपाक से जवाब दिया, "मैडम, '3 इडियट्स' से हमें यह शिक्षा मिलती है कि किस करते वक्त नाक बीच में नहीं आती..."

Palindromo Meszaros Captures the Aftermath of Hungary’s Worst Toxic Spill

In October 2010, the small town of Ajka, Veszprém County, in western Hungary, witnessed an environmental disaster that is considered the worst in the country’s history. The wall of a waste reservoir in an aluminum factory collapsed, releasing around a million cubic metres of toxic waste. The two meter-high red toxic mud slide flooded several nearby localities, burying buildings, poisoning fields and killing nine people. It took nearly a week to contain the spill and several weeks thereafter to cleanup. But every where the sludge touched, it left behind an indelible red line.

Six months after the incident, Spanish photographer Palindromo Meszaros decided to document the effects of the massive spill through this set of photographs entitled “The Line”. Mészáros creates these images by lining up the tip of the red stains with the horizon line in each photograph making it look as if someone had painted the town red on purpose.

"Sometimes people think that it is a conceptual installation when they start watching," Meszaros says. "It's an effect I was definitely looking for — something could seem beautiful and evocative somehow but at the same time make people understand how terrible it was."

What to eat, when to eat it

Food is a key factor in our heath, wellness and weight. Replacing processed, canned and frozen foods with fresh foods has a solid impact on your health. I have a constant problem with keeping my produce fresh long enough to eat it and choosing high quality produce. Most of this can be fixed by simply checking which fruits and vegetables are in season before heading out to the grocery store.

Today’s infographic is a handy little chart that informs you of what produce is in season. The chart is very well designed, it is perfect to print out to hang in your kitchen, or to bring along to the store. This summer, be on the look out for some fresh raspberries, strawberries, pomagranates, peaches, cucumbers, basil, lemons, grapes and figs, just to name a few.

Eat fresh, stay fresh and maintain a healthy lifestyle! Do any of you infographers try to maintain a diet of fresh foods? And we would love to know, what are your favorite fruits and vegetables? [Via]

10 Iconic 60s and 70s Wall Posters

For those of us who grew up in the 1960s-1970s, certain things jump out at us and just shout ‘groovy!’ Avocado-colored refrigerators. VW Beetles. Richard Nixon. OK, not Nixon, but you get the point. Like all generations, we are nostalgic for what we had as children and teenagers/young adults. And one of the things we almost all had to grace the walls of our suburban bedrooms (other than wood paneling) were wall posters. Groovy wall posters! Here is a list of ten of the most iconic wall posters from that era. I deliberately left off this list wall posters that depicted the following – sports figures (Joe Namath, Ali, etc.), movie stars (Farrah Fawcett and her red one piece swimsuit pose), musicians/music/bands (Woodstock, Hendrix, etc.), movies (Star Wars, Jaws, etc.), and celebrities (John Travolta, Raquel Welch, etc.). These could be topics for future lists.

This list will focus on ten of the top iconic posters from that era. Artwork, genres, images, symbols and ideas that are still around today, or which have long since slipped into obscurity. Though wall posters peaked in popularity with the end of the 1970s, you can still find these vintage posters on Ebay and other locations – many of them commanding top prices in good condition. So turn on the AM radio station, turn off the lights, fire up your black light bulbs, light a joint, sit back and enjoy ten top iconic 1960s-1970s wall posters.

Marijuana

Most wall posters from this era were either meant to be funny, psychedelic, sexual, a depiction of a piece of the culture of the time (a movie or sports star, a popular type of muscle car, a TV show, etc.) or a protest movement. Probably the most popular drug-related wall poster of the 1960s-1970s were those depicting the most popular drug of that era – marijuana (pot, dope, etc.). Some were black light posters with black velvet backgrounds and bright green marijuana leaves in the foreground. Others pictured bongs and water pipes and various drug paraphernalia. Still other posters depicted groovy people of the era smoking a joint. Probably the most popular of this variety and perhaps the most iconic pot wall poster of the era was entitled ‘Who Rolled Mary Jane?’ This poster depicted the ‘Zig Zag’ man, the iconic three quarters image profile of a hippie smoking a doobie that graced the Zig Zag rolling paper line. The words ‘Who Rolled Mary Jane?’ were printed above and below him.

बकरी का इलाज

संता और बंता बहुत परेशान थे। वो आपस में बातचीत करते, तो उन बातों पर भी जोक बन जाते, तो उन्होंने तय किया कि वो अब आपस में बहुत ही जरूरी बातचीत करेंगे और कम से कम शब्दों में उत्तर देंगे।
अचानक एक दिन संता की बकरी बीमार पड़ गई।

संता ने बंता से पूछा - यार पिछली बार तेरी बकरी बीमार पड़ी थी तो तूने क्या दिया था?

तय कायदे के मुताबिक बंता ने छोटा सा उत्तर दिया - धतूरा।

संता ने घर जाकर अपनी बकरी को भी धतूरा खिलाया जिससे बकरी मर गई।

संता, गुस्से में बंता के पास आया और बोला - अबे मैंने धतूरा खिलाया और बकरी मर गई।

बंता - मेरी भी मर गई थी।
