Someone has said "It's not a news if dog bites man but it's news if man bites dog". These days media has pretty much pulled out all stops when it comes to delivering the "Breaking News" but I found 2 pieces in the printed world that rather amused me.
The first one was about this border town in Mexico - this whole town thrives on the industry of sending illegal immigrants thro the Sonoran desert into Arizona. There are grocery stores where you can purchase eatables and water to tide you over the long trek. Moreover, a bank has opened a branch for people whose relatives in US send money for the journey. As Mr. Spock of Star Trek would have said "Fascinating!"
The other news was about the Indians (not red Indians but people who are from India) in US who were rather irked by the immigration authority USCIS over the delay in processing their green card applications. What did they do? They sent flowers to the Director of USCIS - as a "Get Well Soon" gesture. Those folks who have seen the Hindi movie "Lage raho Munnabhai" will recognize this as a form of Gandhigiri. Isnt it funny that these people who want to stay in US have to resort to "Satyagraha"tactics by the Father of the nation - Mahatma Gandhi?
