A difficult Judgement
was right opposite to the Temple. The Temple and its congregation
started a campaign to block the Bar from opening with petitions and
prayed daily against his business.Work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and was about
to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the Bar and it
was burnt to the ground.The temple folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till
the Bar owner sued the Temple authorities on the grounds that the
Temple through its congregation and prayers was ultimately responsible
for the demise of his bar shop, either through direct or indirect
actions or means.In its reply to the court, the temple vehemently denied all
responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons to
the bar shop's demise. As the case made its way into court, the judge
looked over the paperwork at the hearing and commented:
the paperwork, we have a bar owner who believes in the power of
prayer and we have an entire temple and its devotees that doesn't...'

Obama, Osama and Terror
Finally Obama convinced the whole world that Osama is dead, and he is still the leader of the most brutal terror group! One Osama who killed thousands of Americans who in return killed more Afghanis and others to find One Osama. The same Osama who was helping them in fighting the Soviet army! The whole story you can read at any random website as everyone is writing about it. So what is my question?
My question is not ‘why Pakistan Army was clueless about Osama who was hiding right under their nose in a mansion?’. My question is ‘Why was they not able to protect him if they had protected him for all these years?’ Nothing is clear so far, as all this looks like a dream where we know what happened, but are not at all clear of the facts. The bottom line is, he was found in Pakistan, or rather projected to be found on the Pak soil. Why? No Idea.
Now people are asking the Government of India (via SM) to do something about Dawood Ibrahim. Enter Paksitan and get him? Now that the efficiency of Pakistani defense can be compared to Poonam Pandey’s tall claims, India has nothing to fear!
But what about Local Pakistani people who are now officially tagged as people who give birth to terrorism and protect them as well? They are as innocent as the people of Afghanistan who has nothing to do with whatever was happening at the International Politics. With the present energy crisis and political hollowness, Pak should really pray for their bright future. India and Pakistan both are facing their share of problems, but the moment these countries come in direct conflict or friendship with Mr. America, then the whole world knows what happens!
How can any country allow the defense of some other country to enter and conduct operations without keeping them in the loop? When asked about the operation, most of the leaders of Pakistan were clueless about it.
America is firm as usual.. Pakistan is confused as usual.. and India is clueless as usual. The triangular love story will continue for decades, the only thing we need to look forward is:- Will USA still provide the ‘Aid/Alimony’ to fight terror to Pakistan or they would just ignore them and move on in life!
This death is not at all convincing. DNA can now be made to show positive results. Photograph can be Photoshopped to convince, but the truth as usual, will be known to only two people: Mr. Obama and Mr. Julian Assange!
This might be the end of Osama, but is this the end of Terror? Million dollar question for Pakistan, literally!

Moral
*
taraf aa raha hai. Kutte ki saans rookh gayi. "Aaj to kaam tamaam mera!"
usne socha. Phir usne saamane kuchh sookhi haddiyan padi dekhi. Woh aate hue
sher ki taraf peeth kar ke baith gaya aur ek sookhi hadii ko choosne laga
aur zor zor se bolne laga, "wah! Sher ko khaane ka mazaa hi kuch aur hai. Ek
aur mil jaaye to poori daawat ho jayegi!"
kutta to sher ka shikar karta hai! Jaan bacha kara bhago!"
achha hai sher ko saari kahani bata deta hoon - sher se dosti ho jayegi aur
usse zindagi bhar ke liye jaan ka khatra dur ho jayega.. Woh phataphat sher
ke pichhe bhaaga. Kutte ne Bandar ko jaate hue dekh liya aur samajh gayaki
koi locha hai. Udhar Bandar ne sher ko sab bata diya ki kaise kutte ne use
bewakoof banaya hai. Sher zor se dahada, "chal mere saath abhi uski leela
khatam karta hoon" aur Bandar ko apani peeth par baitha kar sher kutte ki

lapka.
gaya aur zor zor se bolne laga, "Is Bandar ko bhej ke 1 ghanta ho gaya,
saala ek sher phasaa kar nahi la sakta!"
them and beware of them.

Brilliant Read
changed jobs frequently (10 in 14 years). My friend, the ˜job hopper™
(referred here as Mr. JH), does not mind it. well he does not need to
mind it at all. Having worked full-time with 10 employer companies in
just 14 years gives Mr. JH the relaxing edge that most of the ˜company
loyal™ employees are struggling for today. Today, Mr. JH too is laid
off like some other 14-15 year experienced guys “ the difference being
the latter have just worked in 2-3 organizations in the same number of
years. Here are the excerpts of an interview with Mr. JH: Q: Why have you changed 10 jobs in 14 years?
A: To get financially sound and stable before getting laid off the second time.
Q: So you knew you would be laid off in the year 2009?
A: Well I was laid off first in the year 2002 due to the first global
economic slowdown. I had not got a full-time job before January 2003
when the economy started looking up; so I had struggled for almost a
year without job and with compromises.
Q: Which number of job was that?
A: That was my third job.
Q: So from Jan 2003 to Jan 2009, in 6 years, you have changed 8 jobs
to make the count as 10 jobs in 14 years?
A: I had no other option. In my first 8 years of professional life, I
had worked only for 2 organizations thinking that jobs are deserved
after lot of hard work and one should stay with an employer company to
justify the saying ˜employer loyalty™. But I was an idiot.
Q: Why do you say so?
A: My salary in the first 8 years went up only marginally. I could not
save enough and also, I had thought that I had a ˜permanent™ job, so I
need not worry about ˜what will I do if I lose my job™. I could never
imagine losing a job because of economic slowdown and not because of
my performance. That was January 2002.
Q: Can you brief on what happened between January 2003 and 2009.
A: Well, I had learnt my lessons of being ˜company loyal™ and not
˜money earning and saving loyal™. But then you can save enough only
when you earn enough. So I shifted my loyalty towards money making and
saving “ I changed 8 jobs in 6 years assuring all my interviewers
about my stability.
Q: So you lied to your interviewers; you had already planned to change
the job for which you were being interviewed on a particular day?
A: Yes, you can change jobs only when the market is up and companies
are hiring. You tell me “ can I get a job now because of the slowdown?
No. So one should change jobs for higher salaries only when the market
is up because that is the only time when companies hire and can afford
the expected salaries.
Q: What have you gained by doing such things?
A: That's the question I was waiting for. In Jan 2003, I had a fixed
salary (without variables) of say Rs. X p.a. In January 2009, my
salary was 8X. So assuming my salary was Rs.3 lakh p.a. in Jan 2003,
my last drawn salary in Jan 2009 was Rs.24 lakh p.a. (without
variable). I never bothered about variable as I had no intention to
stay for 1 year and go through the appraisal process to wait for the
company to give me a hike.
Q: So you decided on your own hike?
A: Yes, in 2003, I could see the slowdown coming again in future like
it had happened in 2001-02. Though I was not sure by when the next
slowdown would come, I was pretty sure I wanted a ˜debt-free™ life
before being laid off again. So I planned my hike targets on a yearly
basis without waiting for the year to complete.
Q: So are you debt-free now?
A: Yes, I earned so much by virtue of job changes for money and spent
so little that today I have a loan free 2 BR flat (1200 sq.. feet)
plus a loan free big car without bothering about any EMIs. I am laid
off too but I do not complain at all. If I have laid off companies for
money, it is OK if a company lays me off because of lack of money.
Q: Who is complaining?
A: All those guys who are not getting a job to pay their EMIs off are
complaining. They had made fun of me saying I am a job hopper and do
not have any company loyalty. Now I ask them what they gained by their
company loyalty; they too are laid off like me and pass comments to me
“ why will you bother about us, you are already debt-free. They were
still in the bracket of 12-14 lakh p.a. when they were laid off.
Q: What is your advice to professionals?
A: Like Narayan Murthy had said “ love your job and not your company
because you never know when your company will stop loving you. In the
same lines, love yourself and your family needs more than the
company's needs. Companies can keep coming and going; family will
always remain the same. Make money for yourself first and
simultaneously make money for the company, not the other way around.
Q: What is your biggest pain point with companies?
A: When a company does well, its CEO will address the entire company
saying, ˜well done guys, it is YOUR company, keep up the hard work, I
am with you. But when the slowdown happens and the company does not do
so well, the same CEO will say, œIt is MY company and to save the
company, I have to take tough decisions including asking people to go.
So think about your financial stability first; when you get laid off,
your kids will complain to you and not your boss.
Must Read
as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense
attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine
the police officer's credibility... Q: 'Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?'
A: 'No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the
description of the offender, running several blocks away.'
Q: 'Officer -- who provided this description?'
A: 'The officer who responded to the scene.'
Q: 'A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called
offender. Do you trustyour fellow officers?'
A: 'Yes, sir. With my life.'
Q: 'With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have
a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily
duties?'
A: 'Yes sir, we do!'
Q: 'And do you have a locker in the room?'
A: 'Yes sir, I do.' Q: 'And do you have a lock on your locker?'
A: 'Yes sir.'
Q: 'Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with
your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you
share with these same officers?'
A: 'You see, sir -- we share the building with the court complex,
and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.' The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was
called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year's
'Best Comeback' line -- and we think he'll win.

Anna Hazaare
2. What's so special about him? He built a village Ralegaon Siddhi in
Ahamad Nagar district, Maharashtra
3. So what? This village is a self-sustained model village. Energy is
produced in the village itself from solar power, biofuel and wind
mills. In 1975, it used to be a poverty clad village. Now it is one of
the richest village in India. It has become a model for
self-sustained, eco-friendly & harmonic village.
4. Ok,...? This guy, Anna Hazare was awarded Padma Bhushan and is a
known figure for his social activities.
5. Really, what is he fighting for? He is supporting a cause, the
amendment of a law to curb corruption in India.
6. How that can be possible? He is advocating for a Bil, The Jan
Lokpal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous
authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS)
accountable for their deeds.
8. It's an entirely new thing right..? In 1972, the bill was proposed
by then Law minister Mr. Shanti Bhushan. Since then it has been
neglected by the politicians and some are trying to change the bill to
suit thier theft (corruption).
7. Oh.. He is going on a hunger strike for that whole thing of passing
a Bill ! How can that be possible in such a short span of time? The
first thing he is asking for is: the government should come forward
and announce that the bill is going to be passed. Next, they make a
joint committee to DRAFT the JAN LOKPAL BILL. 50% goverment
participation and 50% public participation. Because you cant trust the
government entirely for making such a bill which does not suit them.
8. Fine, What will happen when this bill is passed? A LokPal will be
appointed at the centre. He will have an autonomous charge, say like
the Election Commission of India. In each and every state, Lokayukta
will be appointed. The job is to bring all alleged party to trial in
case of corruptions within 1 year. Within 2 years, the guilty will be
punished. Not like, Bofors scam or Bhopal Gas Tragedy case, that has
been going for last 25 years without any result.
9. Is he alone? Whoelse is there in the fight with Anna Hazare? Baba
Ramdev, Ex. IPS Kiran Bedi, Social Activist Swami Agnivesh, RTI
activist Arvind Kejriwal and many more. Prominent personalities like
Aamir Khan is supporting his cause.
10. Ok, got it. What can I do? At least we can spread the message.
How? Putting status message, links, video, changing profile pics. At
least we can support Anna Hazare and the cause for uprooting
corruption from India. At least we can hope that his Hunger Strike
does not go in vain. At least we can pray for his good health.
Thanks for reading.

Kaun Banega "CHOR-PATI".........Quite Relevant
Kaun Banega "CHOR-PATI".........
Let's see ……..
Airtel is charging Rs.6/- per SMS sent for this contest. Assuming there are only 100 entries from say 10 cities of some 20 districts and 20 states ….....
6(Rs. per SMS) x 100(entries) x 10(cities) x 20(districts) x 20(states) i.e. = 6 x 100 x 10 x 20 x 20 = Rs.24, 00,000/-.
Rs.24 lakhs in just 20 minutes (from people trying for the Rs.2 lakhs cash prize). Imagine the scenario if 1000 entries try out from 100 cities?
The figure simply grows by 2 more zeroes and yields a whopping Rs.24 crores !!!!!
And it does not stop there. In practice, it could be another multiple of 100 or a multiple of 1000 on an average. In that case, it is 24 x 100 crores earnings in just 20 minutes on every episode!!!
And the prize money: A mere Rs.2 crores !!!!! (and from whose pocket ?????)
Smart Business By Siddharth Basu! And the best part of the above calculation is just the SMS earning!!!!! What about the Ad money ?????
A rough annual profit calculation goes like this:
(2400 x 5 x 4) (episode/month) x 12 = Rs.5, 76,000 crores.
Let even 50% get dissolved in taxes and other payments; still, you will be left with (which includes even the meagre Rs.480 crores of prize money, i.e., if every episode bags Rs.2 crores prize) – Rs.2, 88,000/- crores profit !!!!! (Only from SMS).
Therefore, a Very Simple Question: "KAUN BANEGA CROREPATI" and your options are –
A) SONY TV
B) AIRTEL
C) AMITABH BACHAN
D) SIDDHARTH BASU
Computerji, iska jawab bataiye....
Answer: All FOUR..!!!!
Now you know why AB gets so emotional when episodes end ???
