This is the best video quality i could get from youtube. If you know any better quality video of this song please let me know.

The lines
"Il faut que je me dépêche parce qu’on m’attend à Chennai
Il faut que j’aille prendre le Taxi, prendre le Taxi à Paris"
in French means "Someone is waiting for me in Chennai, So i have to hurry and catch a taxi in Paris".

Why is it called Good Friday?

Well ! Forgive Pinky's Innocence , but many a people(especially non christians) have asked me the same question. Some have even wished me a "Happy Good Friday". So let me explain it here.

First of all Good Friday is the day Jesus died on the cross. It comes during Holy week which starts with the Palm Sunday and ends with Easter day.

In most of the languages and cultures 'Good Friday' is actually reffered as a 'Sad Friday', or a 'Mourning Friday'. But then how did it become a 'Good Friday' in English. here are many theories. If we go by etymology(study of origin of words) we can see that many words or phrases in English that have the words "Good" or "God" are interchangeably used. For example "Good-bye" is said to be a short form of "God be with you". So in the older times "Good Friday" could have been "God's Friday".

But is the phrase "Good Friday" apt? In the olden times people used to confess their sins in a lambs ear and then send it to the forest or sacrifice it. They believed that their sins will be gone with the lamb. Jesus did the same. He washed away the sins of people by dying on the cross. That is why He is sometimes reffered to as the Lamb. So it is of course a good friday too as His death has brought the greatest good there could be.

Deeps Comments :Statistics and Surveys

Statistics reports are a great way to establish your point. The more references to statistic , more the statement looks authentic. But most of the people just getaway with a made up statistic. You can also notice that the survey reports will be always in favour of the person presenting it or the company sponsoring it.


Here are a few ways to make your statistic look credible

1. Domino reference method : Refer to something that refers to something that refers to ...etc..


2. Claim that the survey was conducted by some big shot company


3. Add decimal points. For eg: "Almost 83.45% of the people will like this point."


4. Cross reference: A refers to B. B refers to A.


5. But the most important of all is speak with so much confidence as if it was nothing but the truth.

I am sure that almost 98% of you will agree to the above conclusion.
