God or no god..
Recently I read an article about Sai Baba meeting Karunanithi in Chennai.
Link
In this meeting, Baba presented gold rings to Maran and Durai Murugan (Hon ministers).
This he did it in his usual style. Getting the rings from thin air.
Assuming this is possible religiously, why give it to filthy rich ministers. Why not to all the poor people in India.
2 rings per person every month = No poverty in India. Then, why not?.
I have seen shows of David Blaine or David Copperfield doing all kinds of illusions. I don't think this is any different. So is Sai Baba just an illusionist?. If so, why do people worship him as god?.
Now lets take the example of some of the famous God men in the country.
1. Puttaparthi Sai Baba Link
2. Kanchi Sankaracharya Link
3. Chandraswamy Link
4. Premananda, etc...
Ok. The above people had/have a huge following. There was a huge scandal involving them at some point in time. Then why are people still believing in all these guys.
If god is there, he is definitely not one these people.
Is it only me or is some one with me?.
* The above article is totally my personal opinion. It is not intended to hurt anyone's feeling in particular.

Smart thinking
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 apiece 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

Sardar Strikes Again
Once there was a meeting of all the Surd freedom fighters.
They were planning for free Punjab.
Santa Singh raised a point,
"Oh..we'll get Punjab from India but how would we develop it?"
That was a difficult question indeed. Suddenly Banta Singh
replied, "No problem! we'll attack USA, it would take over us and then
we would be a state of USA and we'll automatically get developed."
All the surds became happy at this very simple solution but an old surd did
not utter a single word. Someone asked him why he wasn't happy.
The Surd replied,
"OH! THAT'S ALRIGHT BUT...WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF BY CHANCE WE
TAKE OVER USA ?????"

Satyam Girls
Only for Satyamites-
Once upon a time there was a war on the Indo-Pak Border between none other
than software professionals and the Paki army....
Towards the end of the war only one Indian soldier remained....
He had two bullets in his gun...
But three Paki soldiers confronted him from their hideouts...
He shouted, "Hey look... Aiswarya Rai..." towards the direction of one
soldier...
That one comes out of hiding saying, "Where, where...".... bang and he gets
shot
by our brave warrior.
He then shouts, "Hey look.... Manisha Koirala..." ...towards another
soldier...
He too comes out, "Where, where...." ... Bang.... and he also bites the
dust...
Now the problem is what to do with the third Pakistani..... No more bullets
left...
The Country is at stake....
How will our warrior save the nation......
.
.
.
HE screams at the top of his voice....... "Satyam Girl......."
.
.
And the Pakistani soldier shoots himself......
....
Moral of the Story.... "Better to commit suicide than see an Satyam Girl...."

Friends :)
Friends of women:
A wife was not at home for a whole night. So she tells her husband, the
very next morning, that she stayed at her girlfriend's apartment over
night. So the husband calls 10 of her best girlfriends and none of them
confirm that.
Friends of men:
A husband was not at home for a whole night. So he tells his wife the
very next morning, that he stayed at his friend's apartment over night.
So the wife calls 10 of his best friends and 5 of them confirm that he
stayed at their apartments that night and another 5 are claiming that he
is still with them.

Was Einstein's Brain Different?
Of course it was—people's brains are as different as their faces. In his lifetime many wondered if there was anything especially different in Einstein's. He insisted that on his death his brain be made available for research. When Einstein died in 1955, pathologist Thomas Harvey quickly preserved the brain and made samples and sections. He reported that he could see nothing unusual. The variations were within the range of normal human variations. There the matter rested until 1999. Inspecting samples that Harvey had carefully preserved, Sandra F. Witelson and colleagues discovered that Einstein's brain lacked a particular small wrinkle (the parietal operculum) that most people have. Perhaps in compensation, other regions on each side were a bit enlarged—the inferior parietal lobes. These regions are known to have something to do with visual imagery and mathematical thinking. Thus Einstein was apparently better equipped than most people for a certain type of thinking. Yet others of his day were probably at least as well equipped—Henri Poincaré and David Hilbert, for example, were formidable visual and mathematical thinkers, both were on the trail of relativity, yet Einstein got far ahead of them. What he did with his brain depended on the nurturing of family and friends, a solid German and Swiss education, and his own bold personality.
A late bloomer: Even at the age of nine Einstein spoke hesitantly, and his parents feared that he was below average intelligence. Did he have a learning or personality disability (such as "Asperger's syndrome," a mild form of autism)? There is not enough historical evidence to say. Probably Albert was simply a thoughtful and somewhat shy child. If he had some difficulties in school, the problem was probably resistance to the authoritarian German teachers, perhaps compounded by the awkward situation of a Jewish boy in a Catholic school.

Rajini in Sivaji
Sardar Joke
SARDAR in ARABIA
A Sardar, a German and a Pakistani got arrested consuming alcohol which is a severe offense in Saudi Arabia, so for the terrible crime they are all sentenced 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheik announced: "It's my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping." The German was first in line, he thought for a while and then said: "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only lasted 10 lashes & the German had to be carried away bleeding and crying with pain. The Pakistani was next up. After watching the German in horror he said smugly: "Please fix two pillows to my back." But even two pillows could only take 15 lashes & the Pakistani was also led away whimpering loudly. The Sardar was the last one up, but befo! re he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from a most beautiful part of the world and your culture is one of the finest in the world. For this, you may have two wishes!" "Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness," Sardar replied. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes." "Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also very brave." The Sheik said with an admiring look on his face. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. "And what is your second wish, ?" the Sheik asked. Sardar smiled and said, "Tie the Pakistani to my back" !!!

What would have happened if India followed Netaji instead of Gandhiji?
1. India would have gotten freedom much earlier.
2. India would have joined Germany and Japan in world war.
3. There would be no Pakistan or Bangladesh.
4. India would have been split into East and West by Russia and US in 1945.
5. India would have been the super power by 1970's.
6. Right now, 1 dollar will be equal to 2 rupees.
7. Ambassador would be the competing with Corolla for the most selling car in the world.
8. Shoaib Akthar would have been banned by BCCI in 2006 for drug abuse for two years.
9. Shoaib would have acted in Dhoom 2 instead of Uday Chopra.
10. I would have posted this blog from Chennai.
Hmmm....
