The Death of a Bus Conductor/ Ek Bus Conductor ki Maut

3 comments

 

 

Once there was a bus conductor, who was very rude to his passengers.

One day a beautiful young girl, of around 18 years tried to board the bus, but he didn’t stop the bus. Unfortunately the beautiful young girl came under the bus and died on the spot. Angry passengers took the conductor to the police station, who in turn took him to the court.

The judge was not at all impressed with him and gave him capital punishment.

He was taken to the electrocution chamber. There was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. The conductor was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him. But to everyone’s amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.

After a few months, this time, a good looking middle aged woman tried to board the bus but the conductor didn’t stop the bus. Unfortunately, this time also, the good looking middle aged woman came under the bus and died on the spot.

Again angry passengers took him to the police station, who in turn took him to the court. The judge took one look at the conductor and gave him capital punishment. The Bus conductor was taken to the same electrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him. This time also, to everyone’s amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.

A couple of months later, an elderly gentleman tried to board the bus.

This time the Bus conductor, remembering his earlier experiences, stopped the bus. Unfortunately the elderly gentleman slipped and died due to his
injuries. The conductor was taken to the police station and then to the court, to the same judge. Though he hadn’t done anything wrong, but considering his past record the judge decided to set an example and gave him capital punishment.

The Bus conductor was again taken to the same electrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him.

This time he died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!

The question is why didn’t he die on the first two occasions, but died instantly the third time??

Try to solve it yourselves. This is rather interesting and answer is perfectly logical. If necessary read the puzzle once again.

Still couldn’t? Then see below………

Think hard

C’mon ………….

Tired….?

Wanna know the answer????

Ok…….. here is the Answer…………

During the first two times, the conductor was a Bad Conductor, therefore electricity didn’t pass through him. But during the third time, he was a good conductor, so electricity passed through him freely and he died !!!! 😀 😛

Kindle is Kind & Amazon is Amazing

5 comments

Last Sunday at 11:30 am my life was divided into two parts – life with kindle and life without kindle. It all happened when my handbag fell down. The bag was unzipped and the kindle was in it. And then came the sound – the sound of broken glass. I picked it up and saw the screen. It was broken. Yes, I knew it but still tried to restart the kindle several times hoping that it would get OK. But every effort of mine was wasted as the screen did not return to normal.

With a gasp I kept staring at the kindle. I had no clue how to fix the screen! Several questions popped into my head – how do I replace the broken screen? How will I send the kindle to Amazon for the repair? Will Amazon repair it? And the last big question – Why did I leave the bag open?

With all these questions churning inside me I logged into my Amazon account and emailed them. When you are having a bad day, you are really having a bad day. With my mind completely absorbed into fixing the broken kindle screen I completely forgot about the egg curry I’d left on the gas. So, my Sunday was not so funday with a broken kindle plus a half burnt lunch.

Anyways, on Monday I got an email from the Kindle Support Team asking me to call them. I phoned them but the number was of Amazon’s UK team. The person from the support team listened to the problem and transferred the call to the US team. Well, it’s because their US team handles all the global problems/queries whereas the UK team is only for the UK Kindle owners. Well, there were a few times when the phone line at my end got disconnected but at the third attempt I could talk to the US Kindle Support Team.

I explained the problem to them – the top half of the screen showed portion of a screensaver and the bottom half displayed the text. The text was getting updated when I turned the pages but the top half was showing the screensaver. (As you can see in the pic)

Amazon’s entire process of handling the problem was very organized. My Kindle was covered by warranty and the support team said that they would send me a replacement in a week. Well, they sent me the replacement in 4 days…from USA to India! One word to describe Amazon’s service is – Amazing.  Now all I have to do is to send my old Kindle back to them.

After this Kindle episode and the way Amazon’s Kindle team dealt with it I am now an out- and-out Amazon fan!
