hi nightowl
Aptly summarised - one query - how is it Human Rights Commission did not take suo moto notice of such gross violations and table a Report on the atrocities. After all Human includes sub-human also.

hi peri,ot,googol,gaba,nadhi,tally,gv,tom and all the rest,
quite a thought proking one this one....
Really good read it.....: Give a thought....Nice One
An Old Story:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is 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.
Indian Version:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its 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 this 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 .
Mayawati states this as `injustice' done on Minorities.
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 MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for 'Bengal 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 Grasshoppers in Educational
Institutions & in Government Services.
The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left
to pay his retroactive taxes,it's 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,
.
.AND
As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the
grasshoppers,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
India is still a developing country…!!!

Dear Pitquote
This is my first post to you. - greetings to start with,
Why Ginger, neem and basmati only? Heard that they are thinking of taking patents in USA for most of the medicinal herbs traditionally grown in our country and well covered in our Ayurveda treatises..Someday they may keep an eye on plantain leaf - at least it is grown in many contries. If India Government and trade do not keep vigil, anything may happen.
A passanger in the train in the same compartment I was travelling was boasting that he was proud of his Bhagavat Gita book - reason - you know it was printed in USA.

You can please call me PQ-pitquote or what so ever. But please do not add SIR. I am rather shy. Thanks and keep FIT AS FIDDLE. Cheers. Best fat burner in this world is GINGER and US is trying to patent it. Unfortunately we sideline Pepper Ginger from the VenPongal our parents serve. I hope Indian govenment looks into this in addition to the nuclear deal. First they tried turmeric/then they started working with Neem and now it is the turn of Ginger.

Well here is a holy one before u knock off.
A new priest at his first mass was so nervous he could hardly speak.
After mass he asked the monsignor how he had done.
The monsignor replied, "When I am worried about getting nervous on the pulpit, I put a glass of vodka next to the water glass. If I start to get nervous, I take a sip."
So next Sunday he took the monsignor's advice.
At the beginning of the sermon, he got nervous and took a drink.
He proceeded to talk up a storm.
Upon his return to his office after the mass, he found the following note on the door:
1) Sip the vodka, don't gulp.
2) There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3) There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4) Jesus was consecrated, not constipated.
5) Jacob wagered his donkey, he did not bet his ass.
6) We do not refer to Jesus Christ as the late J.C.
7) The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not referred to as Daddy, Junior and the spook.
8) David slew Goliath; he did not kick the shit out of him.
9) When David was hit by a rock and was knocked off his donkey, don't say he was stoned off his ass.
10)We do not refer to the cross as the "Big T."
11)When Jesus broke the bread at the last supper he said, "Take this and eat it for it is my body." He did not say "Eat me".
12)The Virgin Mary is not called "Mary with the Cherry".
13)The recommended grace before a meal is not: Rub-A-Dub-Dub thanks for the grub, Yeah God.
14)Next Sunday there will be a taffy pulling contest at St. Peter's not a peter pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

Ravi...

was going to put it on the board too.

Tracked by: 0 Boarder
nits this is an important one so im putting this on the board... everyone should know this
Thought this one worth passing on Please Read This Information !!!!!!!!!!!! Hotel Key Cards This is pretty good info. Never even thought about key cards containing anything other than an access code for the room! HOTEL KEY CARDS Ever wonder what is on your magnetic key card? Answer: a. Customer's name b. Customer's partial home address c. Hotel room number d. Check-in date and out dates e. Customer's credit card number and expiration date! When you turn them in to the front desk your personal information is there for any employee to access by simply scanning the card in the hotel scanner. An employee can take a handful of cards home and using a scanning device, access the information onto a laptop computer and go shopping at your expense. Simply put, hotels do not erase the information on these cards until an employee reissues the card to the next hotel guest. At that time, the new guest's information is electronically 'overwritten' on the card and the previous guest's information is erased in the overwriting process. But until the card is rewritten for the next guest, it usually is kept in a drawer at the front desk with YOUR INFORMATION ON IT! The bottom line is: Keep the cards, take them home with you, or destroy them. NEVER leave them behind in the room or room wastebasket, and NEVER turn them into the front desk when you check out of a room. They will not charge you for the card (it's illegal) and you'll be sure you are not leaving a lot of valuable personal information on it that could be easily lifted off with any simple scanning device or card reader. For the same reason, if you arrive at the airport and discover you still have the card key in your pocket, do not toss it in an airport trash basket. Take it home and destroy it by cutting it up, especially through the electronic information strip! If you have a small magnet, pass it across the magnetic strip several times. Then try it in the door, it will not work. It erases everything on the card.
regards to all
and make a note of this...

micky59,
For days I have not been able to open the computer due to shifting of our residence.
Today I thought it to find a few minutes to see what is happening. I saw your msg of congratulation sent to Abhinav Bindra.
I read in news paper that he never practised at the shooting centre the govt provided as it was unfit to do so. He done all his practise at his own house. And he went out of the country to get all what he needed to update him.
Our system never produces a champion. It is controlled by power hungry politicians, and not by experts. And we start the preparation for world championship events a few days ahead, whereas it takes constant and continuous preparation by countries like China. See how their children defeating the worlds renowned stalwarts. See the army of Russian and Serbian girls dominate the world tennis. Countries produce their heroes, whereas one or the other make history in ndia due to their tallent and hard work, without the system. When they win, the politicians and govt open their eyes and go with garlands to get photographed.
It is nothing new in India. We announce aid and rewards after some thing goes wrong, someone is dead. A disaster must be there for anything to be done, not before that There is nothing for here for the living ones. Thats India!

Dear Nightowl,
Came home after a rather exhausting stint with the way sea is behaving these days,I should have guessed it earlier we call it 'SHE'.I went checking on my canes and paddy,come back home home and I have an emergency to report back.Well back to matching wits with the ol' girl,I was happier ping ponging with Nikzzz&Micksss.With Nikzzz not sighted and Mickssss on a threatened sabbath,here is one for you gals,before I take off to the ever .....ever .....land,thailand.Three women and three men are traveling by train to the rugby match.
At the station, the three men each buy a ticket and watch as the three
women buy just one ticket.
'How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket?' asks one
of the men.
'Watch and learn,' answers one of the women.
They all board the train. The three men take their respective seats but
all three women cram into a toilet together and close the door.
Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around
collecting tickets.
He knocks on the toilet door and says, 'Ticket, please. The door opens
just a crack, and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.
The conductor takes it and moves on.
The men see this happen and agree it was quite a clever idea; so, after
the game, they decide to do the same thing on the return trip and save
some money.
When they get to the station they buy a single ticket for the return
trip but see, to their astonishment, that the three women don't buy any
ticket at all!!
'How are you going to travel without a ticket?' says one perplexed man.
'Watch and learn,' answer the women.
When they board the train, the three men cram themselves into a toilet,
and the three women cram into another toilet just down the way.
Shortly after the train is on its way, one of the women leaves her
toilet and walks over to the toilet in which the men are hiding.
The woman knocks on their door and says, 'Ticket, please.'
I'm still trying to figure out why men ever think they are smarter than women.
Regards,
Ravi
