I am finally tying the knot !!!!!

Finally here is an update from me... Please Friends forgive me for
updating you late, but I think it's the right time for me to announce
the news from my side.

Hmm...now straight to the news. Still so many issues are yet to be
resolved and so many people need to be convinced. So, with great
reluctance I am disclosing this news, since anyway you should know
about it one day. I think most of you would have guessed it by this time,
Yes it is it, you think what I think.

Yes…I am tying the knot!!

It was actually planned for this month. But due to opposition from
all sides, the date has been tentatively moved to next month. I
understand very well that you all would be in a great shock, but yes it is.
Everything happened so fast.


All said. All right, next question; who is it? It's going to be
another surprise for you. Most of you must have definitely noticed me
roaming around with, at-least once.

For others, I am attaching some of our pics from which you can
recognize who it is…. Will keep you posted on further happenings.

Hoping for the best !!!

May the occasion be blessed!

Finally.............:-)))))

Hari Putter ne chakk te fatte




Well at last I finished the last Harry Potter Book(Deathly Hallows) in almost a single sitting (took 6 hours of sleep in between)..this book is a bit different from all other Harry Potter books...it's definitely more interesting as the trio of Harry, Hermione and Ron are on a run and face some difficulty or other in there adventure, though I didn't like the ending...I was waiting to be surprised but Rowling gave the expected end of the story without killing any central character and triumphing Harry in the end....but now since the series is over I'll miss Mr. Potter and his adventures......i loved it and lived it and don't really mind that the ending was not really a shocker....

Donno when Mr. Paolini will come up with his next.......also waiting to catch the next Potter flick!!!!

Ant and Grasshopper Story (Forwarded Email)



OLD VERSION...

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his 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 ant is warm and well 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 long, building his 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 it 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 Koffi Annan criticize 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 for non-compliance) . Opposition MP's 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 the 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 Singh makes Special Reservation for Grass Hopper in educational Insititutions & in Govt Services. The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV. Arundhati Roy calls it "a triumph of justice". Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice'. CPM calls it the 'revolutionary resurgence of the downtrodden' . Koffi Annan 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 ...

Hope you got the message!!!!
