Two Lamps of a Leader


Magasthenes the writer of Indicia wanted to meet Chanakya. It was not difficult to meet him. He just send words and was allowed to go to hut of Chanakya. It was the first hour of the evening. Chanakya was writing something under the light of lamp. Chanakya welcomed the Magasthenes and asked his purpose.


I've come to see you and talk to you about yourself and different topics, replied Magasthenes. 

Chanakya asked him to wait. Then he took another lamp and after lighting it, he put off the first lamp. Then he invited Magasthenes to sit on the broad mat. Magasthenes sat down but could not hide his surprise. He asked," I feel there must be a reason that you have put off the first lamp and lighted another one, but I don't find any difference in them; neither is coming out. Please tell me why you changed the lamp."

Before changing it, I asked you about your purpose. I came to know that it is a personal meeting. So I put off the official lamp whose oil comes from the government treasury and I lighted the lamp for which I purchase oil from my salary. While doing a personal work, I can't misuse the government's money, replied Chanakya.

It was unbelievable for visitor. He know Chanakya was all powerful in the Mauryan Kingdom. Chanakya was the master mind behind the Chandragupta Maurya. He was the king- maker. Because of Chanakya Mauryan kingdom become India's first empire in known history.

'Bullett Raja' Is A Flop

Bullett Raja has flopped at the box office. After taking a barely average start at the box office, the film didn't show much of a growth over the weekend. The weekdays saw further dip in collections, hence making it crystal clear that neither was audience much excited about stepping in while those who eventually did weren't quite enthusiastic in sharing positive word of mouth. Eventually, it turned out to be a 'thanda' affair at the box office with just about 35 crore coming at the end of first week. Now these are the kind of collections that should have ideally been accumulated by the film over the weekend! The verdict was more or less out soon after the film released and as a result the promotional effort too came to a standstill. Saif, who doesn't believe in over-promoting a film when the writing is clear on the wall, went silent. Sonakshi moved on to R... Rajkumar. Jimmy was busy with shooting of his films and Tigmanshu wasn't heard much either. As a result...
