The Rumour Of The Century
Chennai’s Law of Increasing Proportions: The crowd in a city bus is a complex function of the time of day and is directly proportional to the frequency of the bus service.
What a comedy of rumours it was today. I got a message over the LAN from one of my colleagues. It simply stated “Karunanidhi out.”. I dismissed that message and continued working until a friend called me up and said that Karunanidhi had passed away. As usual, I dismissed the rumour until it became pretty big office talk. To top it all off, Karunanidhi appeared on TV tonight, hale and hearty.

I wanted to post this law I “discovered” after returning from office by the ubiquitous MTC buses, but didn’t want to put it all by itself. Apologies to Sat for copying his posting style.
