Bribery v/s Reinforcement

I always considered bribery and reinforcement were one and the same...
...Until I entered my master's.
It was then that I exactly learned the differences between the two.
And the basic difference being that: in bribery you give the reward even before the work is done and in reinforcement reward is given after the work is finished so that the individual performs the act again wanting to get the rewards continuously.
These two terms entered my mind while listening to the song of 3 idiots...Give me some sunshine...wherein he says 'rishvat dena to khud papa ne sikhaya, 99 marks laoge to ghadi varna chadi':)

Of course, the subject under which the reinforcements were taught (Behaviour Modification) was one of my favourites and I had mastered it very well which proved to be useful later too.

Charminar

I never get bored of watching some of the old comedy movies such as Chupke Chupke, Khoobsurat, Angoor and Golmaal...
They carried humour in such a natural and easy manner.
And they successfully catch our attention even today.

Another weekend adventure

Last weekend we were lost and this weekend it was our turn to go shopping without our wallets in the pocket.
Good that we had not yet started our shopping before which we realised the situation.
But luckily, we had some food coupons to spend on eating and filling our stomach after all.
We swore never to repeat the mistake but all the while I thought to myself "we have a saved a lot this weekend"!

I've always hated the very sight of Farah Khan and her brother Sajid Khan.
They criticise and degrade people to the fullest extent possible.
And they consider themselves to be the finest directors of Bollywood which is utter nonsense.
I especially remember last year's award function (don't remember which award) wherein they both anchored the programme and did not miss a single chance to humiliate the best of directors.
They even insulted the debut director of the movie 'A Wednesday' for not having worn a suit for the function to which he remarked after winning the award that he would certainly get a suit stitched for himself as he had won the award!
Ashutosh Gowarikar later blasted them for being so critical for which the sibling duo didn't apologize because they considered it to be humourous.
May be it's wrong on our side to expect such a good behaviour from the Great Directors of the movies such as 'Om Shanti Om', 'Main Hoon Na' and 'Houseful'

Getting Lost

Getting lost or taking a route that is exactly the opposite may be quite frustrating, we may find lots of reasons to blame each person for not preparing ourselves to go in the correct direction.
Even more frustrating could be the fact that, there is very less fuel and no petrol station nearby.
Even worse, when you are hungry!
But the same situation can become humourous when everything is solved.
