KR While manipulation can sometimes be subtle and difficult to detect, it is generally considered unethical when it involves deceit or coercion to achieve the manipulator's goals at the expense of others.

But sir do you really know 475 years real institution of Britain? yes, there are several British institutions that are over 475 years old. One prominent example is the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) in London, which was founded in 1518 by King Henry VIII. The RCP is one of the oldest medical colleges in England and has played a significant role in the advancement of medicine over the centuries. Another example is the Honourable Society of Gray's Inn, one of the four Inns of Court in London, which dates back to at least 1370 and received its first royal charter in 1569. It has been a significant institution in the legal profession for centuries. These institutions, along with others such as the Royal Society (founded in 1660) and the Royal College of Surgeons (founded in 1800, though its roots date back further), contribute to the rich historical tapestry of British academia, medicine, and law.

Compiled and posted by R Gopalakrishnan, 80, on 21-3-2024 *Q1 What are some examples of manipulation?* A1 Savas Abdulhamid Cicekci, PhD in Sociology & Socialpsychology, University of Tübingen Updated 2y When the children passed an old house on their way home from school, they were always rubbing their sticks on the balcony railing and enjoying the sound. The older owner, who had been bothered by the noise for a long time, had a really good idea instead of scolding the kids. He called the children over to him: "Children, the noise you make sounds very nice, I'll give you a pound a day if you keep going like this." So he gave the kids a pound a day. In the second week he called the children over again: "Children, my money is scarce, I can only give you fifty pence, not a pound." Now three weeks had passed and the old man called the children over to him for the last time: "Children, unfortunately I have no money, so I can't give you any more." The children: "No money, no noise" and so they stopped rubbing the sticks on the balcony railing. (Author unknown) *Q2 What is an interesting story about football?* A2 Bethany Fletcher,8h "When I was 14 years old, I asked my mom for a football but she said, 'No Marcelinho, we can't afford that.' So I went to the store and asked the owner, 'can you sell me a football? I'll repay when I become a professional football player!' He started laughing and said, 'Hell yes Marcelo, just remember to pay.' Several years later, I decided to go back to the store and get all the balls I can to give to the poor kids in my neighborhood."

Radha was a medical student in Delhi University. She met Rohit there. Rohit was her lab partner, they eventually fell in love and decided to get married. Rohit and Radha graduated and both of them got a job. When they reached their marriagable age they told their parents about each other. Rohit’s parents agreed and accepted Radha without any conditions. But Radha’s father was against love marriages, everyone in his family married people who the temple priest suggested.( Bio datas of people who want a partner along with the qualities they are seeking are submitted in the temple where the priest suggest people looking at the details) “You’ll get married from the temple only” her father said. He even refused to meet Rohit once. Radha decided to go with her dad. She met 2–3 boys through temple and finally agreed to marry one. She got married. Her dad was happy. She uploaded a picture on face book with her husband with a caption, “ With my lab partner, with my life partner” [Yes she married Rohit.] When Radha told Rohit about her dad’s decision Rohit asked her the name of the temple they are giving her bio data, Rohit gave his bio data in the same temple and for qualities he wrote everything about Radha, the priest made them meet due to same profession and qualities. Instead running away and getting married, instead fighting with her Dad, Radha got married with her lover. Smart way to fight the traditional thinking of the society, her Dad later accepted Rohit. This is a true story. Just heard they are now parents to twins. *Q4 What is the greatest April Fool’s prank you’ve ever experienced?* A4 Vijaya Lakshmi,Have experience in life for 68 years.4y This incident occurred a few months after I joined CIL....in 1982-83.. Our head of the department (let us call him HOD) was a strict person and was always very serious. He rarely laughed, just once in a month. When he was angry he did not hesitate to say whatever that came to his mind, without thinking about the feelings of the listener. My note- We see such persons not rare everywhere, Once one of our colleagues, let us call him Rajiv, committed a mistake in his work and HOD called him to his chamber. “This is not a mistake! It is blunder! Utter blunder!” all of us could hear the shouts of the HOD because he never closed the door of his chamber. “I think all the fools in the world are selected and dumped on my head” he continued. “If you continue to work in this way, I am going to give you a suspension order! Blah...blah...blah...” The high pitched scolding went on for half an hour. Rajiv came out of the chamber with a sullen face, cursing the HOD silently.Ultimately he corrected the mistake within a day and submitted his work. Fast forward one week... The office attendant with a paper in one hand and the dispatch register in another hand came to Rajiv’s seat. “Sir, a memo for you” he said handing over the paper (memo) to Rajiv. He took Rajiv’s signature in the dispatch register and left. Now everybody became very curious because receiving a memo is very rare and shameful too. After reading the memo Rajiv’s face became pale. He crumpled the paper and hit it hard on the ground. Many people got up from their seats and surrounded his table. “What happened?” somebody asked. “That *****(using a cuss word) has really got me suspended” he said angrily. “What? But you rectified your mistake the next day right?” “Let me see the letter” someone else said. They picked up the crumpled paper from the floor and started reading. It got circulated from one hand to other. It was an official letter with usual format like letter number, date, subject, reference etc. It read somewhat like this: “Since you are committing mistakes frequently in your work, the suspension committee has decided to suspend you from work for one week....” Everything was official with the signature of HOD and an office stamp. (Now let me tell you something. If someone is suspended from work even for a week, it would be a big stain on his career). While everybody was silently cursing the HOD, he came out from his chamber and walked straight to Rajiv’s table. “So, did you receive the memo?” he asked very seriously. “But sir what grave mistakes have I committed? Even if I committed some, I have always rectified them” “I did this, so that others will learn a lesson from this memo” he said still seriously. “But sir......” “Wait! Did you notice the letter number?” HOD asked. For every official letter there would be a number with a combination of many strings, numbers and special characters. Nobody bothers about that number while reading a letter. The letter number is only for reference. Rajiv opened the letter and read the letter number loudly It was somewhat like this: “Coal-India/Finance/Bill-Section/April Fool/20197 dated 01/04/****” On hearing that everybody including Rajiv laughed loudly. The desk calendar on his table showed the date as 1st April. HOD also laughed loudly fulfilling his quota of that month. “This man is really unpredictable” Rajiv muttered after the HOD had returned to his chamber. End of all fools day story! M*y note- After 10 days April fool day is coming please* *Q5 What is the most British thing ever?* A5 Andrew Wiltshire,Retired School Teacher and global Traveller Updated 2y I arrived at a very old and very prestigious school for a job interview as a teacher. The first thing I thought upon arrival was “Oh my God! This place is way outside my comfort zone.” It looked just so venerable and posh. Much of the building was Tudor (1547ish) and extensively re-modelled in Victorian gothic. It was imposing and intimidating as a potential workplace. But then I walked into the school office and Reception and there on the Reception desk was a letter “In-Tray” with a huge ginger Tom Cat curled up alseep in it. I thought that “only in a very old, very British, very eccentric school that was very sure of itself would a cat be sleeping in the Reception Desk in-tray.” The cat was called Henry and he had the run of the whole school and everyone loved him. Anyway, I got the job and was ringing round various companies to acquire new equipment for my Technology lab. One company I wished to use had no supply contract with the school and so I was asked by their representative on the phone to set up a credit account. The conversation went like this: “We will need some business credentials for your company in order to set up the credit account” “Yes of course; what do you need to know?” “Firstly, how long has your business be operating?” “Four hundred and seventy-five years” “Ah. I don’t think there will be any problem setting you up with a credit account”. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
