You get a tatoo that says "This body best viewed with Netscape 2.01or higher."
All of your friends have an @ in their names.
And even your night dreams are in HTML
You turn on your intercom when leaving the room so you can hear if new e-mail arrives.
Your dog has its own home page.
You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again.
Your phone bill makes your dad go crazy.
You code your homework in HTML and give your instructor the URL.
You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
Frankly speaking.....I don't mind

Faith forever
Last Sunday in many cities/towns of India once again the frenzy was on."Gods drinking milk". A day prior to that there was another happening which caught the peoples' attention and they thronged in hundreds to a city sea beach in Mumbai when it was reported that the sea water had turned SWEET in taste.And yeah guys, hundreds confirmed this after tasting and packing in bottles.Even the TV News confirmed for one full day.The next day late night hundreds gathered around temples, big and small, in city after city around whole of North India to witness and offer milk to Gods.And almost more than half confirmed on camera/to TV news reporters that 'Yes...it is positive.The milk is being consumed by the idols"
Believe it or not.Laugh or smile.Joke or respect....
Now in come the 'Rationalists','Scientists' or the Non Believers. And there is a queue on TV Talkshows to assert and stop the people from "Blind' Faith.And once again the divisions take place...FAITH V/S SCIENCE.
My point here is, in this series of happenings( Whatever my own personal belief being put aside) is that everday millions and lacs of Indians or for that matter in any country of the world, we put daily offerings in Temples(Home or outside) in the form of Laddus,Sweets,Flowers etc. with a belief that it is being offered to God.We daily light Divas/Candles/Incense Sticks in thousands the world over with a belief,faith and conviction that it reaches our individual God,Ishwar,Allah,Saint etc.Then what problem is there when one fine day if there is a chain reaction all over to offer Milk to each's God and be a part of a National/Allround Mass ritual or practice ! I see no harm. Forget the science or logic behind all this...see it as a MASS PRAYER when in one moment thousands offer the same offering to their individual Gods.There are all chances of creating a Mega Vibration , a Mass Appeal, a Gigantic Prayer ritual.Till there is no scandal of Money being charged through such practices or people taking to any other practice behind all this....I just see this as a Moment to REJOIN AND REJOICE ...together.Take it as a one fine accidental/incidental day of MASS PRAYER to our Gods.Believe me guys ...it will be very positive and let's drop the endless discussions on the BIIIIIIIIG SCIENCE.

Even the Big Guys stumble at times!
I read somewhere...
Sometimes even the biggest companies start to behave in self-defeating and even insane ways:
Shell outraged Europe by seeking to dump the Brent Spar oil platform in the North Atlantic, and lost millions when its customers boycotted its pumps.
IBM made the biggest loss in corporate history -- close to $5 Billion in a single year -- by fumbling the market for PCs it had itself created.
Coca-Cola tried to change the taste of the best known brand on Earth, with disastrous results.
McDonalds sued two unknown vegetarian protesters for libel and became bogged down in the longest libel suit in British legal history: a two-year PR nightmare.
Perrier tried to cover up the long-concealed truth about the purity of its product, and lost its market leadership when the truth finally came out.
Hoover came up with a promotional plan so clever it couldn't fail -- and lost $50 million.
Usually these corporate disasters are written off simply as errors of judgement; poor management, 'pilot error'.

Englich iz a funy language !
There is no egg in eggplant or ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple...
Is cheese the plural of choose?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
In what language do people recite at a play, and play at a recital?
Ship by truck, and send cargo by ship?
Have noses that run and feet that smell?
Park on driveways and drive on
parkways?
Sweetmeats are candies, while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can
work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
Frankly Speaking ,English is a funny Language !

Flashback India
Listed below are a few recent past told prophecies or visions by some of the prominent personalities of our time. A bit from the past but so true,correct and thought provoking...something to think upon....think seriously.
"Power will go to the hands of rascals ,rogues and freebooters.So many future Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw.They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts.They will fight among themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles."
Winston Churcill on the eve of India's Independence.
"The rate of Hindus will decline in a strictly linear fashion and calculated logically it would take less than 420 years for the Hindu race to disappear completely from the face of India."
Col.UN Mukherji in 1909 refering to Census results of 1881/91 and 1901.He made this remark as a correction to 1891 Census commissioner's O' Donnell's prediction that Hindus would die out in 620 years.
"The Partition will be cause of Four Wars with Pakistan."
Mahatma Gandhi.
"While Mohmmaddans multiply like anything, the numbers of Hindus are dwindling periodically."
Swami Shradhanand 1926 refering to Census report 1911.
"Something has to be done to prevent the population explosion in India or it would hamper efforts made to make India an economically independent nation."
Industrialist JRD Tata to Jawaharlal Nehru.
"Jeh,but population is our strength."
Jawaharlal Nehru 's reported response to JRD.
Frankly Speaking.........wish we had listened to it then ! And though valuable time might be gone, there is always a Better Tommorow.

Tears too are Liquid
While I fully side with the UK/USA authorities in their precaution campaign due to the latest "Terrorists Threat" and raising their Security levels to Yellow,Orange,Red,Slightly more red,Dark Red,Blood Red .....whatever, I am filled with a few doubtz of my own.After the last months Train Bombs here in India (200 killed) and the constant killings of so many innocents in and around Kashmir by the SOBs called #&#*@(")#>
what if we had raised our Security standards to such high levels by banning Liquids on planes... including Milk bottles,Perfumes,Shampoos,Gels,Colognes etc ?! Would they have co operated,endorsed,supported, backed openly...our 'Threat Perception" ?
I just want to tell here one thing ...all you guys out there>
"MY SHAMPOO IS INNOCENT"

"MY SHAMPOO IS INNOCENT"
Few Facts
1. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience! 2. Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
3. If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.
4. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
5. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
6. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
7. It is easier to get forgiveness than permission.
8. For every action, there is an equal and opposite government program.
Will keep adding more as I get to learn more !

New Cola Ad Campaigns ?!
After the recent findings by an Indian institution about the 'Pesticide Residues' present in soft drink brands like Pepsi,Coke,Limca,7Up etc....such ad campaigns are likely to crop up.
Now they(Authorities and Companies) are arguing whether it within the 'Permisable' limits or above/below that in the contents of the bottle !
Bloody hell.....the shocking thing is 'THEY ARE THERE" ! ! !
And as popular remarks go that these Brands are better off as Tiles Cleaners/Stain removers ...so be it.
Frankly Speaking I think it would be better that way...atleast that would be cheaper than the expensive Soaps/Detergents and Formula X,Y,Z Cleaning agents.

My point of view
Isaac Newton only claimed that gravity was an attracting force between all objects because that's the way things appear --objects fall to the Earth or approach each other when floating in outer space. So Newton understandably claimed that it must be some type of attracting force emanating from objects,but he gave no scientific explanation for this force. Why does it attract and not repel? How does it cause falling objects andorbiting planets without drawing on any known power source?
Einstein was so dissatisfied with our lack of understandingabout gravity even two centuries after Newton that he inventedan entirely new theory of gravity as a warping of "four-dimensional space-time" known as General Relativity Theory.But this theory is even more mysterious and unexplained, and also suffers from the same problems as Newton's gravitationalforce theory. What is "four-dimensional space-time" and whywould the mere presence of matter warp it?
Where is the apparently unlimited power source for it all?
And, despite both Newton's and Einstein's attempts to explain gravity, we are still mystified by it today. Scientists are searching for "graviton particles" within the atom or "gravitywaves" rippling through deep space, hoping for some sort ofphysical verification for one gravitational theory or another.Meanwhile, they are inventing even further theories of gravity,such as Quantum Gravity and String Theory.
Frankly Speaking 'Gravity' is a complete mystery in our science even today
