The Four Noble Truths with the Eightfold Path is the way to obtain Salvation for Gautama Buddha which comes with Nirvana after enlightenment. It brings Salvation from the sufferings on earth, and, most important, salvation from the curse of reincarnation. He promoted 'The Middle Way' as the path to enlightenment rather than the extremes of mortification of the flesh or hedonism (pleasure), emphasizing rather meditation.
The Four Noble Truths:
He describes temporal life as featuring four noble truths:
1. Diagnosis: The condition of all existence is suffering.
2. Cause: Suffering is caused by selfishness, desire and craving
3. Prognosis: Selfishness, desire and craving can be overcome... and then, suffering ends on earth and the cycle of the curse of reincarnation is gone.
4. Treatment: The Eightfold Path:
The Eightfold Path: Enlightenment and Nirvana is attained by meditation and by following the path of righteousness in action, thought, and attitude... it's all your work!:
1-3- Wisdom (panna):
- Right View -Right Thought - Right Speech
4-5- Morality (sila):
- Right Action - Right Livelihood
6-8- Meditation (samadhi):
- Right Effort - Right Mindfulness - Right Contemplation

Ten Maths Jokes
10. Q: What does the zero say to the the eight? A: Nice belt!
09. Q: How many mathematicians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: In earlier work, Wiener [1] has shown that one mathematician can change a light bulb. If k mathematicians can change a light bulb, and if one more simply watches them do it, then k+1 mathematicians will have changed the light bulb. Therefore, by induction, for all n in the positive integers, n mathematicians can change a light bulb.
08.A statistician can have his head in an oven and his feet in ice, and he will say that on the average he feels fine.
07.A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were travelling in Scotland when they saw a black sheep thru the window of the train. Aha," says the engineer,"I see that Scottish sheep are black." "Hmm," says the physicist,"You mean that some Scottish sheep are black." "No," says the mathematician."All we know is that there is at least one sheep in Scotland, and that at least one side of that sheep is black !"
06.The only dirty joke in maths: Q. What's the square root of 69?A. Eight something.
05.Salary Theorem The less you know, the more you make. Proof:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power. Postulate 2: Time is Money.As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time And since Knowledge = Power and Time = Money It is therefore true that Knowledge = Work / Money . Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of Work done.
04.Theorem. Every positive integer is interesting.
Proof. Assume towards a contradiction that there is an uninteresting positive integer. Then there must be a smallest uninteresting positive integer. But being the smallest uninteresting positive integer is interesting by itself. Contradiction!
03.1+1=3, for large values of 1 and small values of 3.
02.There are three kinds of people in the world; those who can count and those who can't.
01.How many classical geometers does it take to replace a lightbulb?? None: You can't do it with a straight edge and a compass
00.Math problems? Call 1-800-[(10x)(13i)2]-[sin(xy)/2.362x].

Beedi - Omkara - Lyrics
Here are the complete lyrics of Beedi from Omkara. A very rustic song.
-By Gulzar
Na Gilaf Na Lihaf,
Na Gilaf Na Lihaf,
Thandi Hawa Bhi Khilaf Sassurrree,
Na Gilaf Na Lihaf,
Na Gilaf Na Lihaf,
Thandi Hawa Bhi Khilaf Sassurrree,
Ho Itti Sardi Hai Kisi Ka Lihaf Le Layeele
Ho Itti Sardi Hai Kisi Ka Lihaf Le Layeele
Ja Padosi Ke Chulhe Se Aag Layeele,
Bidi Jalaeele Jigar Se, Jigar Maan Mein Badee Aag Hai,
Bidi Jalaeele Jigar Se, Jigar Maan Mein Badee Aag Hai
Dhun Na Nikalio Lab Se Piya, Je Duniya Badi Ghag Hai
Bidi Jalaeele Jigar Se, Jigar Maan Mein Badee Aag Hai
Na Gilaf Na Lihaf,
Thandi Hawa Bhi Khilaf Sassurrree,
Ho Itti Sardi Hai Kisi Ka Lihaf Le Layeele
Ja Padosi Ke Chulhe Se Aag Layeele,
Na Kasoor Na Fatoor,
Na Kasoor Na Fatoor,
Bina Jurram Ke Hazoor Mar Gayee ,Ho Mar Gayee
Ho Aise Ik Din Dupahari Bulaye Liyo Re
Baandh Ghungroo Kachahari Lagaye Liyo Re
Bulaye Liyo Re, Bulaye Liyo Re, Dupahari
Lagaye Liyo Re, Lagaye Liyo Re, Kachahari
Angeethi Jalayee Le Re, Jigar Se Piya, Jigar Maan Mein Badee Aag Hai
Angeethi Jalayee Le Re Jigar Se Piya, Jigar Maan Mein Badee Aag Hai
Ho Na Toh Chakkuon Ki Dhaar, Na Daranti Na Katar,
Na Toh Chaakuon Ki Dhaar, Na Daranti Na Katar,
Aisa Kaate Ke Daant Ka Nisan Ka Chhod De,
Ke Katai Toh Koi Bhi Kisan Chhod De,
Ho Aise Jaalim Ka Chhod De Makaan Chhod De Re Billo,
Jaalim Ka Chhod De Makaan Chhod De,
Re Aise Jaalim Ka Ho Aise Jaalim Ka
Aise Jaalim Ka Chhod De Makan Chhod De,
Na Bulaya Na Bataya
Na Bulaya Na Bataya
Mhane Neend Se Jagaya Hai Re,
Aisa chaukail haath Mein Naseeb Aa Gaya
Woh Elaichi Khilai Ke Kareeb Aa Gaya
Koyla Jalai LeJigar Se Piya
Jigar Maa Badi Aag Hai
Ho Itti Sardi Hai Kisi Ka Lihaf Le Layeele
Ho Itti Sardi Hai Kisi Ka Lihaf Le Layeele
O Jaa Padosi O Jaa PadosiJaa Jaa Padosi O Jaa Padosi Ke
Chulhe Se Aag Layeele

Quotes from Chanakya
A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.
As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.
Before you start some work, always ask yourself three questions - Why am I doing it, What the results might be and Will I be successful. Only when you think deeply and find satisfactory answers to these questions, go ahead.
Books are as useful to a stupid person as a mirror is useful to a blind person.
Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.
The world's biggest power is the youth and beauty of a woman.
The serpent, the king, the tiger, the stinging wasp, the small child, the dog owned by other people, and the fool: these seven ought not to be awakened from sleep.
The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here and there.
Let not a single day pass without your learning a verse, half a verse, or a fourth of it, or even one letter of it; nor without attending to charity, study and other pious activity.
There is some self-interest behind every friendship. There is no friendship without self-interests. This is a bitter truth.
Whores don't live in company of poor men, citizens never support a weak company and birds don't build nests on a tree that doesn't bear fruits.
Once you start a working on something, don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it. People who work sincerely are the happiest.
Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.
God is not present in idols. Your feelings are your god. The soul is your temple.
The biggest guru-mantra is: Never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.
Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.
The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all direction.
