Power gets lost during the transmission.
Government money gets lost during implementation of programs.
Akbar and Birbal were discussing this matter.
Akbar was doubtful about the fact.
Birbal said, he will demonstrate the matter.
He asked Akbar to ask for some ice.
Yes, Akbar used to arrange for the ice from Himalayas to be brought daily, those days itself.
The ice was brought.
Birbal said, the ice can not be delivered directly to the king.
The man at the gate should take it and give it the next man. He will give in turn to the man sitting next. Almost all of them will touch it. Thus the ice block was broght to the king. By the time it reached there, half the ice was turned to water and everyone's hands were wet.
King laughed at the demonstration.
We are yet to laugh about it.
Because we are made to cry about the situation. What reaches the end point is sometimes not even half of what was meant to be spent on the matter.
By the way there are some who would like this method, because they would get rich easily.

Who Knows!
Long back I read a Chinese poem. Ofcourse, I read translation.
It goes something like this.
"I know that people will not listen to what I say.
That does not stop me from saying what I have to say.
I have to say because I can not keep quiet."
Exactly following in the footsteps of this idea, I am also saying what I have to!
I was reading a book by Bono. He quoted someones saying. It says, " You need not be recognised after you are recognised."
Banks, it looks , give loans to people who prove that they don't need money.
The situation is just like that.
As long as you are looking for recognition, no one takes notice of you. Once you are somebody to reckon with, you never worry about that recognition. And, the whole world keeps going around you.
The paradigms these days, have changed, though.
People are not looking for recognition. They are mad after the benefits in the form of bank balance. If you have the real dough with you, you care a pin about what people think about you.
I have perhaps become an old man, in this regard. I still crave for recognition. A smile on your face after you read these few words is worth the time I spent typing it out!!
Thanks for making my day!!
