Einstein and His Doppelganger Chauffeur


Albert Einstein was traveling to universities, giving lectures on his famous theory of relativity. One day while
Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speaker's circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work.



Chauffeur (Look-alike of Einstein)                        Albert Einstein

{A doppelgänger;  German: (ˈdɔpl̩ˌɡɛŋɐ) , literally "double-goer" is a look-alike or double of a living person.

One night as they were driving to yet another dinner, Einstein mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who

somewhat resembled Einstein in looks & manner) that he was tired of speech-making.


"I have an idea, boss," his chauffeur said., I've heard that lecture more than 30 times. I have learned it by heart I'll bet I could give it for you."
Einstein laughed loudly and said, "Why not? Let's do it!"


"Well, I'll give you the chance," said Einstein,

"They don't know me at the next school, so when we get there I'll put on your cap and you introduce

yourself as me and give the lecture." Einstein continued.
When they arrived , Einstein donned the chauffeur's cap and jacket and sat in the back of the room.
At the hall, the driver gave Einstein's lecture so wonderfully that he didn't make any mistakes. He gave a beautiful rendition of Einstein's speech and even answered a few questions expertly.

When he finished, he started to leave, but one of the professors stopped him and asked him a question which was very difficult. The aim of the question was not gaining knowledge but embarrassing Einstein.
Then this supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric question about antimatter formation, digressing here and there to let everyone in the audience know that he was nobody's fool.

Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a steely stare and said, "Sir, the answer to that question is so simple that I will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it for me."

Then Einstein stood up and gave an incredible answer to the question of that professor.

~ Moral of the story: No matter how genius you pretend to be, there is always someone who is more genius than you despite his position.

Sunday Special--God's Cow!

When I was a child,I was fascinated by  a few insects,like Butterflies,Jugnu (Glow worm-or firefly), Lady bug,and Beer bahuti(Brother's Bride-In Punjabi).The former two were out of reach of kids, Ladybirds and Beer Bahuti have long been of interest to children, as such I could play with the later Two. Now I learnt that both my favorites are somehow related to the cow! Surprised? I share my research  with you, as follows :- ladybugs/ lady birds called "God's cows" in some languages (such as Russian, French, Hebrew, etc.) The creature beloved in many countries. In Russian, we call it “God’s cow”. Yep, something like this. Ladybugs smell with their feet and antennae. The farmers began to call the Ladybugs “the Beetles of Our Lady” and eventually they were known as Lady Beetles. The Ladybug's red wings are said to represent the Virgin's cloak and the black spots her joys and sorrows. The Ladybug is widely...
