Petrol Bunk Cheating

 In Chennai Petrol Bunks are a place where you can get duped easily. I have been duped at least 3 times which I am aware of. Today I asked for 200 Rs of Petrol and gave Rs 500. The guy started rambling everyone is giving 500 and don't I have change etc etc. He gave me back Rs 400 in different denomination. I was so distracted by this time I tried to put that 400 in my pocket. He told "Sir, There is 400 Rs in that". Then I realized I am only supposed to get back Rs 300. So gave him back 100. Then he again started pouring petrol for 100. I asked him did he put only for 100 earlier and he confirmed yes. He very well knew I asked for 200 Rs worth Petrol but he distracted me so much now I realize in total he must have delivered only Petrol worth Rs 100. But there is no way I can prove this as I didn't check the first time if he actually delivered Petrol for Rs 100.

Most of the techniques are distraction techniques. They ask you some weird question about the vehicle, they play around with the change so you don't actually is looking at what is happening in the meter. 

I do not think anything can be trusted any more.

Feeling lost

The news you expect the most never comes ..
The news that you dread to hear arrives first ..
The stock you buy nose dives ..
The stock you didnt buy moves north ..
The person you dont wish to see is the person you see first ..
The person you long to see you dont want to see ..

Last in first out

In our country everyone wants to come last and go first. You can see this anywhere you go. Few common places where you can see such thing are Petrol bunks, weddings, hotels, movies, bus stops, traffic signals and it goes on...

In petrol bunks when you stand behind the person whos getting petrol the next guy who comes will never wait behind you but he would rather form another chain behind the person before you because he wants to leave first though you were there first. After petrol if you move to the air point again there it will be more chaos with 5 to 10 people wanting to be first ..

In traffic signals its always the guy who comes last will leave first as he will cross everyone and violate all lines and stand before everyone. Chances are if someone comes after him then he will become second in line ..

This act you can notice in all well educated people also. Try going to KFC in chennai you will see people who doesnt have the basic queue sense. All they want to do is eat bucket full of chicken. One good thing is this is not common to one gender. Both gender do this act very nicely.

I hate to go to petrol bunks, hotels, malls for this one reason. The problem is 99% doesnt even will agree with me and they will say "இதுல என்னப்பா இருக்கு". I cant even share this feeling to anyone except this hopeless blog where I can block such "இதுல என்னப்பா இருக்கு" guys (which I dont do either infact not even such guys visit this blog).

Build up

Read this news.

The amount of build up given by media is just awesome. They say as if Asin has almost become a master of Kalaripayatu. We dont even know what is Kalaripayatu. Suddenly this term is getting used as if its like some art we practice daily.

I dont know in how many scenes Asin will actually be doing Kalari... It might have a total screen time of 1 minute in the overall movie where you might get to see her doing that art. This 1 minute itself is an exaggarated number. I dont know if she really gave the interview but if she did then she claims like she has to undergo so many hardships to learn the art. Its like Uma Thurman getting trained under a martial arts expert in Kill Bill.

This is not new actors and actresses do claim tall things. People who act blind in movies always say they observed blind people very closely. People who act as police always say they observed Thevaram very closely to learn the nuances. I dont believe in any of these craps.

They give the same hype saying Rajini has only arugam pul juice in morning with avicha ver kadalai, Simbu jumped from 200th floor without asking for a dupe, Kamal hassan spent 23 hours for getting into old ladys make up etc. Its all nonsense.

I wont blame the medias but if someone believes what the media says then I would only blame him.

The Nun - Movie

Yes the demon in Nun costume looks scary. Even in one of the earlier movies when they show this painting it had good impact. But beyond that...
