Man in the Coffee Beans

A simple BRAIN test for you, FIND THE MAN IN THE COFFEE BEANS

This is bizarre -- after you find the guy -- it's so obvious. Once you find him -- you think, Why didn't I see him immediately? 


Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 

  • 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. 
  • Between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. 
  • Between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein.  
  • Not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!!  
 
And yes, the man is really there...!!!

P.S.: Before taking more of these excercises email me and I'll tell you where the man is in these cofee beans.

Kingfisher Calendar 2009

Vijay Malya's phenomenal Kingfisher Calendar is something many look forward to since a few years now. Those slim and sexy models with well toned bodies is the only reason to have that calendar. Even I wanted those sexy hot bikini clad babes to grace my table and so went on a frantic search to lay my hands on one.

However, McDonalds calendar was what caught my fancy on the fly while searching for the Kingfisher Calendar 2009. I couldn't prevent my self from displaying it here.

I even discovered a new aspect of Google search. It does not just search for the exact object you are looking for but all those things that are on the same lines as your searched string.

Here is the McDonald's calendar on the lines of Kingfisher Calendar.
















You thought this was it... Hold on. This wasn't the thing you came here for. The original 7th Edition of Kingfisher Calender 2009 is here for you. Go ahead and grab it...!!! Enjoy fellas.

One Night @ the Call Center

I started my professional life with call centers around ten years ago. I spent around six years bearing the torture of hectic schedules, commuting problems, graveyard shifts, irregular sleeping & eating timings & what not.

But still I feel this occupation tickles your funny bones at times.

Here are a few amusing incidents that happened with me in my line of duty that I would like to share with you’ll.


Technical Support : I had this customer who was a very funny guy. Or should I say stupid. Someone like Gilligan. I had been trying to help this customer open up a computer chassis for about 15 minutes but Mr Gilligan some how could not locate the screws at the back of the CPU cabinet. To any question that I asked him he would answer me loud & clear but the moment I asked him if he could see the screws there would be complete silence. It seemed to me that the word ’’SCREW’’ reminded him of some ghostly adventures related to screws or may be he remembered that last time he was screwed by some tough guy. I however managed to coax him & find out why he kept quite when I told him to locate the screws. What Mr. Gilligan used to do was keep the phone down & go under the table to locate the screws which would have been difficult for me to locate if I were to do it the same way.

Finally, accepting my fault for not giving proper instructions I asked him to unplug all the cables & lie down the cabinet on the table so that he could view the screws clearly. Once again there was silence. I could not control my patiences & I shouted Mr. Gilligan are you there. Suddenly I heard a faint voice shouting from the speaker phone, ’’Yes, I am lying on the floor but still cant see the screws’’. Haa haa haa.... That was enough for me to split into laughter.


Technical Support : This was the one where I had become Gilligan. I was helping an old man troubleshoot a computer system in the early hours around 4am. Suddenly, while on the call I dozed off. Not receiving any instructions from my end for a couple of seconds or may be minutes - I dont know how long I enjoyed that nap - the old man suddenly roared ’’Hello’’. That hello was loud enough to have me wide awake. In that stage I forgot the problem that the customer had & was not even aware of the steps that I had troubleshot with him. I order to avoid embarrassment I decided to use the golden rule, the one which had always saved my skin when I had fallen asleep on calls. I went ahead & asked the customer ’’Ok Sir, can you tell me what do you see on your screen’’. This was to judge as to how far I had reached while trouble shooting so that I could continue instructing further. See how smart I am. I had not even finished the sentence when the old man roared back, ’’How am I to do that with all these cards & cables scattered arround?’’ It was then I realized that I had made this fellow also open up his CPU cabinet.

Sometime’s I still wonder what would Mr. Gilligan have done, if he would have been in there instead of the old man.


Online Shopping : Buyers of NEXT Directory UK could use items sold on the site on a trial basis 14 days. If the customer was not satisfied with the item he/she just had to give us a call & we would arrange for a collection & the customer would get a 100% money refunded instantly.

One day a lady in her mid 30’s called up saying that she wanted a bra to be collected from her place. As per the set rules I had to confirm with her if she had used it to which she replied in the affirmative stating that she had tried it just once. I informed her that I would not be able to arrange for the bra to be collected because of hygiene reasons as lingerie’s once worn could not be returned. To this she got angry & questioned me that does that mean I can never buy a bra from our site. I replied that she could go ahead & buy as many bra’s as he wanted but could not return it to us if worn even once. To this she revolted, ’’How can you tell if a bra is comfortable unless you have worn it? CAN YOU?’’ The spontaneous reply that I blurted out was, ’’How would I know?’’. God bless me after that.



Collections : I being into collections would accept Credit card payments over the phone. Once I had an old man on the line, somewhere in his late eighties. As usual in one of my conversations after inquirying about the the type of card while taking payments I said, ’’Can I take YOUR amount please’’.... ’’Can I take YOUR CARD number please’’.... ’’Can I take YOUR EXPIRY date please’’. To which the customer immediately replied, ’’Very soon, son.’’

It was only after I heard my manager laugh out loudly at the other end of the room who had barged in & was listening to my call did I realize that I had misworded the sentence & said ’’YOUR EXPIRY date’’ instead of ’’YOUR CARDS EXPIRY date please’’.


Many more real life experiences to be added soon so keep reading...

Which Brain Are You?

Ever wondered why are Left handed people referred to as smart asses. Whats so unique about them that makes them stand out in the crowd. Here is a logical explanation - Funda. I came to this conclusion around twelve years ago in one of my biology lecture in high school.

A detail post-mortem of the human brain was in progress. The different spheres and what each sphere specialised in was too interesting to miss. Well however I wont take you through that grind.


This logical conclusion was derived from a few very commonly known scientific facts. If you didn't know these go check some wiki's.

  1. The left brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa.
  2. An average human uses the left brain 62.5% and right brain 37.5% to process data, take decisions and react.
  3. To come out with "Out of the Box" ideas you need to use your right brain more than the left one.


Now lets do a logical analysis and concentrate on each of these statements.

The left brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa.

The fact that you do most of your basic activities with the right hand denotes that your left brain is more at work (approx 62.5% usage).

If a person is left handed it means his right brain is at work now having a usage which is more than 37.5% than a average brain.

More usage of the right brain the better survival skills you have.

Hence left handed people are considered smarter and stand out in the crowd as they use more of their right brain as compared to an average right handed person.


Disclaimer : This is a plain logical funda derived by my right brain. I do not take any guarantee on its authenticity or it being practically correct. However logically its fit to be called a Kharmakzee's Funda... A Kool Funda... Aint it?
