These days I tune in to news channel Russia Today in the evenings. Yesterday they were showing the results of a poll conducted in Russia over war on terrorism. There was 31% of this, 31% of that, 10% of something else and 10% of something that. Wait a minute, isn't the total supposed to be 100%? Apparently the remaining 18% was unaccounted for!

Probably their tagline explains it all - Any story can be other story altogether :-)

अर्ज किया है:

तू किसी और के लिए होगा समंदरकी मिसाल
हम तो रोज तेरे साहिलसे प्यासे गुजर जाते है

And now an SMS that a friend forwarded:

3 stages of marriage:

1. Mad for each other
2. Made for each other
3. Mad because of each other

The IDBI guys who tugged at our heartstrings with the cute ad featuring 2 boys and a mother-baby pair of elephants are back! This time it's a boy and a cuddly baby elephant who are stealing the show. Don't miss this one :-)

What do you think the acronym MP stands for? If you say Member of Parliament, think again. With 34 out of 38 members whose questions were listed being absent, the Lok Sabha session had to be adjourned yesterday. So MP stands for Missing Parliament! :-)

26/11 came and went. As promised to myself, I neither read any newspapers nor tuned in to any Indian news channel. It would have been too painful to read about the innocents who lost their lives - especially because one of the perpetrators is still alive and kicking. I would have so loved to read that kasab has been hanged till death on the same day.

It was no comfort that the bodies of the other slain terrorists are still rotting in some morgue. I wonder why the authorities are spending tax money of hard-working Indians to keep them and not dumping them instead in the No-man's-land' between Indian and Pakistan. Why should we pay for the upkeep of the remains of these cowards? Let the birds feast on them for all we care.

A friend sent an SMS yesterday which so poignantly describes the innocents who have died world over because of some fanatics who don't have anything to do but blow up people and property.

मिटटीका जिस्म लेके पानीके घरमे हू
मंजिल है मौत मेरी हर पल सफरमे हू
होना है क़त्ल ये मालुम है मुझे
लेकिन ख़बर नही की मै किसकी नज़रमे हू
