Is it not racial discrimination?

Is the worlds greatest democracy still plagued by racial discrimination. If you don't understand what I am saying, then have a close look at the picture and have a close look at the words encircled. If you still don't understand, why is it depicted as a black man is looting from a grocery store whereas the white couple are just politely taking groceries. I don't know whether this article is an authentic one, I just got it as a mail forward from a friend of mine. If it is true, then stop talking about Indians being biased racially.

Why men are from Mars and women are from Venus.

Here's a prime example of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus"
offered
by an English professor from the University of Phoenix:

The professor told his class one day: "Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will
pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. As homework tonight, one of you will write the first paragraph of a short story.
You will e-mail your partner that paragraph and send another copy to me. The
partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the
story and send it back, also sending another copy to me. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back-and-forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story
coherent. There is to be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails and
anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached."

The following was actually turned in by two of his English students: Rebecca
and Gary.

THE STORY:

(first paragraph by Rebecca)

At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now
reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he
liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off
Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too
much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the
question.

(second paragraph by Gary)

Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now
in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the
neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he
had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. " A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he
said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.

(Rebecca)

He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one
last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever
had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth, when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspaper to read, no television to distract her
from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why
must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.

(Gary)

Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its
lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed
the Unilateral Aerospace disarmament Treaty through the congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly
initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the
inconceivably massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid Laurie.

(Rebecca)

This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent.

(Gary)

Yeah? Well, my writing partner is a self-centered tedious neurotic whose
attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. "Oh, shall I have
chamomile tea? Or shall I have some other sort of F--KING TEA??? Oh no, what am I to do? I'm such an air headed bimbo who reads too many Danielle
Steele novels!"

(Rebecca)

Asshole.

(Gary)

Bitch

(Rebecca)

F__K YOU - YOU NEANDERTHAL!

(Gary)

Go drink some tea - whore.

Some tips to increase your productivity at work.

Nice tips if you are seriously interested in increasing your productivity. Don't bother if you are like me.

# Close all the messanger applications. [i.e. MSN, Yahoo, ICQ]

Warning: I never follow these rules. So i cannot expect any of you to do the same.

The only thing missing in our lives is life itself.

A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer.

The lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.

The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.

The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves.

When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups."

"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."


"Concentrating on the cups, we won't have time to enjoy & taste the water in it."

Coach Greg Chappels email to BCCI

This thing seems to have dragged on and on now. I really think that the patch up between Sourav Ganguly and Greg Chappel as suggested by BCCI will lead to more speculations and more ift between the players in the Indian team. While I am not an analyst or a staunch cricket supporter (but I believe Sachin tendulkar to be a cricket God), I really do like to see India do well in all the sports that it takes part in and this controversy and the later patch up is only going to see the decline of the Indian Cricket. Unless, some of the players are really strong and leave the of the field matters in their closets when they get on to the cricket field.

Anyway, to add more spice to the drama the email sent by coach Greg Chappel was leaked to the media. If you are still interested in this real life drama then here is the content of the email. I wonder who leaked the mail to the media?

The full text of Greg Chappell's e-mail to the BCCI. This was first

>
>  On at least one occasion he did change the team and on the morning of

> his nervousness at the crease facing bowlers like Shane Bond from NZ was
> also affecting morale in the dressing room.
>
> On the basis of this and other observations and comments from players in

> struggled with batting form toward the end of their tenure as Australian
> captain.
>
> We discussed other issues in relation to captaincy and the time and effort
> it took that was eating into his mental reserves and making it difficult
> to prepare properly for batting in games. He commented that he had enjoyed
> being free of those responsibilities in the time that he was in Sri Lanka

>
> I also raised the matter of selection for the first Test with Sourav and

Hope it is true

BCCI at last has decided to remove saurav ganguly from the indian team. They took the decision in a meeting they had yesterday in kolkata,as reported.
BCCI president Mahendra kumar said that the board has taken the decision due to pressure from the india coach and selectors with reference to his consistent
bad form and behavioral aspects with the team mates and the coach. He also added that Ganguly was the greatest captain India ever had but his removal was inevitable.
As a good will gesture, Ganguly was asked his last wish before him stepping down from the team. Ganguly has requested the board that he would like to step down as a winning captain and not on a loosing note. He also mentioned that he would like to win a tournament before stepping down. He said he aleays wanted to win a world cup but winning in a one day final tournament is his still unfulfilled dream of life. In order to help Ganguly fulfil his career dream BCCI has decided to schedule a tournment with the consent of ICC president Ehsaan Mani.
The tournament details are as follows:

Date: 6th October to 18th October
Venue: Harare
Teams: India, Zimbabwe, Kenya,Bangladesh

The match schedules will be published later.

Rules(as requested by Ganguly)

1) Heath Streak, Masakadza and Blignaut are not supposed to represent either of Zimbabwe

2) To be on the safer side one of the umpires will be an Indian( preferrable Jayaprakash)

3) Sachin will be playing this tournament irrespective of his injuries so as to help his captain lift a winning trophy

4) Prize money will be a wooffing 10 million dollars so that Ganguly can financially sustain his life after cricket (it's rumoured that he is also loosing all his endorsements including sona chandi chawanprash)

5) For the toss, Ganguly is insisting umpires to use the coin which was used in the movie Sholay. (and obviously he will be calling the toss)

The name of the cup is ......

How to sell a dead donkey

Can you sell a dead donkey? (the determination required to be an
achiever)

A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old
farmer for $100.00.


The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day the
farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news, the
donkey died last night."


Kenny replied: "Well then, just give me my money back." The farmer said:
"Can't do that. I went and spent it already."


Kenny said: "OK then, just unload the donkey." The farmer asked: "What
ya gonna do with him?"


Kenny: "I'm going to raffle him off." ( Note: To raffle is to sell a
thing by lottery - draw lot - to a group of people each paying the same
amount for a ticket)





Farmer: "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"


Kenny: "Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."





A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened
with that dead donkey?" Kenny: "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets
at two
dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00."



Farmer: "Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny: "Just the guy who won. So I gave him back his two dollars."


Kenny grew up and eventually became the chairman of Enron.

Why Mugabe decided to dissolve ZCU

LATEST NEWS FLASH.....


According to news agencies, the whole Zimbabwean team is going to resign at the end of the current series. No international cricket will be played by or in Zimbabwe after the current test series is over. The Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) will also be dissolved. Zimbabwean cricket captain Tatenda Taibu and senior member Heath Streak were unable for comment when contacted by Reuters. President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe described the decision to dissolve ZCU as "a sad day for Zimbabwe cricket". When asked about the reason for the action, President Mugabe said "It is a great loss for the country of Zimbabwe . Not only the cricket team, but the entire nation is demoralized. We could have easily continued playing cricket after losing to any country in the world, but the shock of watching India 's captain Sourav Ganguly make a hundred against us was too much to bear . That is all I have to say."


.. a very sad day indeed.

Who is your 80s Heartthrob?

Click on the above link to find out who is the 80s heartthrob you like. Well it is a link for the girls to check out, as most of the questions are quite related to girls. Guys can give it a try too.

Well I found that my heartthrob would have been Bill Gates. Not a very flattering result huh? But then I have already said that the questions were girlish and I am every bit a man in thinking.

Dilbert and salary hikes

How drinking can help you cross the road.

These two drunks stumble out of a pub in Ireland at about 4:00 in the

morning. They stagger to the nearest lamppost and lean against it when

along comes a policeman. The first drunk pipes up, "Excuse me, ossifer,

but I wonder could you tell me if the last bus to Dublin has left yet."

To which the policeman replies "Of course it has. It's 4:00 in the

morning."

The second drunk then weighs in and says, "Sorry, sir, but I wonder if

the last bus to Galway has left yet." The officer again replies "Of

course it has. It's 4:00 in the morning."

The first drunk then starts up again and asks, "Could you tell me

please, ossifer, has the last bus to Cork gone yet."

The policeman is really irritated now so he shouts, "It's 4am, all the

�buses have gone!" And with that the first drunk turns to his

friend and says, "Ok, Mick, we can cross the road now."
