I am a very happy to see India get a gold medal at Olympics.This is the first time ever India has won a Individual Gold medal.

Hats off to Bindra,Surely he is going to inspire a lot of Indians..Yesterday morning I read the news that Bindra has qualified for the 10 m Air Rifle final, since already we had poor day for shooters, I took the news lightly but something in my mind told that he may get  gold in this event.After a few minutes ,I recieved a mail from my friend stating that India has won a gold.. I knew straight away who it was ,when we checked TimesofIndia to confirm,my joy was ubound as it is the first gold medal won by India after a long gap of 28 years……..(Last one was one by our Hockey team in 1980,that too some say it was possible due to boycott of Olympic games by other nations)

An American decided to write a book


about famous churches around the

World..


So he bought a plane ticket and

took a trip to China.


On his first day he was inside a


church taking photographs when


he noticed a golden telephone


mounted on the wall with a sign


that read “$10,000 per call”.


The American, being intrigued,

asked a priest who was strolling


by what


The telephone was used for.


The priest replied that it was a

direct line to heaven and that for


$10,000 you could talk to God.


The American thanked the priest

and went along his way.


Next stop was in Japan. There, at

a very large cathedral, he saw the


Same golden telephone with the


same sign under it.


He wondered if this was the same

kind of telephone he saw in


China and


He asked a nearby nun what its


purpose was.


She told him that it was a direct

line to heaven and that for


$10,000


He Could talk to God.


“O.K., thank you,” said the

American.


He then travelled to Pakistan,

Srilanka , Russia, Germany and


France ..


In every church he saw the same

golden telephone with the same


“$10,000


Per call” sign under it.


The American, upon leaving Vermont

decided to travel to up to India to


See if Indians had the same phone.


He arrived in India , and again, in

the first church he entered, there


Was the same golden telephone,


but this time the sign under it



read 
“One Rupee per call.”


The American was surprised so

he asked the priest about the


sign.



Father, I’ve traveled all over


World and I’ve seen this same


golden
Telephone in many churches. I’m

told that it is a direct line to
Heaven,

But in the US the price was


$10,000 per call.


Why is it so cheap here?”


After some time


The priest smiled and answered,


“You’re in India now, Son - it’s a

Local Call”.


This is the only heaven on the Earth.


KEEP SMILING


PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN

Mr.Anbumani Ramadoss has been making news(good and bad) always ever since he took over as Health Minister of GOI (Government of India).

Whenever he is silent ,he always makes a statement regarding smoking and drinking to attract media attention towards him and he uses media very well to project him and his party as a good one to garner political mileage in his home state.

First when he took the decision of banning smoking in  public places ,I thought it was a good one and it would help reduce smokers ruining their life and other’s.But the ban is only on papers and I still find people smoking in public places without fear.He would list this as one of his achievements but in real the ban has not been enforced till date.

What he has done as Health minister in the last 4 years?

To my knowledge he has done nothing other than coming out and speaking against smoking and drinking.Life expectancy in India has not improved much and infant mortality rates are still high in tribal and remote areas.We still have  very poor infrastructure when compared to other developing nations and also there is a lot of corruption in the system.He has not done anything towards these important issues. He is always trying to garner political mileage by speaking about smoking and drinking.

I hope India would get a good health minister in Future (not him definitely).

Today I was surprised to see this headline in one of India’s premier websites wwow.rediff.com.The news item states that President of India was mobbed by admirers in Brazil . I was quite surprised as given her unpopularity in India who would be willing to take photos with her.It(report) also adds

“n no time, the entire hall at a five-star hotel saw people queuing up for the photo-op, taking her security personnel by surprise.

After nearly 30 minutes, the organisers, unable to cope up with the rush, decided to end the impromptu event. The President was quickly escorted out of the room.”

My first question is who were the audience whether it was Indians?

Forgot about my question see here http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/apr/14sao.htm

You would laugh all the day…

Ant & Grasshopper

 

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.

Come winter,the Ant is warm and wel fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

 

Modern Version

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant’s a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN
show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant’s house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.

Amnesty International and KoffiAnnan criticizes the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental

rights of the Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and
Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God fornon-compliance).

Opposition MPs stage a walkout.

Left parties call for “Bharat Bandh” in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in  heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad
allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the ‘Grasshopper Rath’.Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the ‘Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act’[POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter.Arjun Singhmakes ‘ Special Reservation ‘ for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions & inGovernment Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes,it’s home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in aceremony covered by NDTV.

Arundhati Roy calls it ‘A Triumph of Justice‘.Lalu calls it ‘SocialisticJustice’CPM calls it the ‘ Revolutionary

Resurgence of the Downtrodden

UN Secretary General invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly .Many years later…

The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon Valley .

100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India…
As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the Grasshoppers,

India is still a developing country
