A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realises he is lost. He reduces height and spots another man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, 'Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?'

The man below says, 'Yes, you're in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 ft above this field.'

'You must be an engineer,' says the balloonist.


'I am,' replies the man. 'How did you know?'

'Well,' says the balloonist, 'Everything you have told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone.'

The man below says, 'You must be in management.'

'I am,' replies the balloonist, 'but how did you know?'

'Well,' says the man, 'You don't know where you are, or where you're going, but you expect me to be able to help. You're in the same position you were before we met, but now it's my fault.'

Bhel of Mystique

'Make me one with everything,' says the guruji to the bhel puriwala.

Then, after getting his bhel puri, the guru hands him a ₹100 note.

He takes the money and attends to the next customer.

The bhel puriwala replies, 'Change comes from within.'
