Sari And Hilton
Paris Hilton in a sari, (http://media2.intoday.in/indiatoday/images/Photo_gallery/paris_hilton_saree_100711103530.jpg/). She has not draped herself well in this. It looks like someone wrapped a cloth on a box.
See this one for elegance http://www.luxurylaunches.com/entry_images/0911/23/Paris-Hilton-Swarovski-studded-sari.jpg?maxX=550&maxY=265.

This is a photo of Indian women in some dress (http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=TOINEW&BaseHref=TOICH/2011/09/27&PageLabel=23&EntityId=Pc02313&ViewMode=HTML). I am still trying to figure out what it is. I supposed the Indian women would refer to what they are wearing as being ethnic and chic. Eeeeeek.

"Child prayed to God, and asked for a cycle but he never got it. Next day he stole the statue of Ganesha and wrote a letter to God Shanker " AGAR BACCHA CHAIYE TO CYCLE LEKE HUNUMAN MANDIR AA JAO"
Absolutely hilarious.

Accident In Chennai
There was a train accident today (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Trains-collide-near-Chennai-15-dead-TV-reports/articleshow/9972535.cms). Less than 2 hours ago. The funny thing is the train name is not mentioned.
Don't the relatives of the people concerned need to know?
Global Warming: Impact On Arctic Sea
This is a nice article (http://m.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/article2447616.ece/?maneref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fm%3Fhl%3Den%26gl%3Dus%26client%3Dms-android-fih%26source%3Dandroid-launcher-widget%26action%3Ddevloc%26q%3Darctic%2Bice%2Bmelting%2Bfastest%2Bhindu) on the decrease in the volume of ice in the Arctic Ocean. How at the current rate of depletion in 30 years, there may be no Arctic Ocean left.
When we discovered oil and coal, we were ecstatic. So much energy could be derived from them. Then there was a period of furious growth in science, industry fueled by these. And now we realize that we are destroying the oceans.
How often do we come across this
Wow -> Hmm Nice -> Oh Shit
path in life!
If while at the wow phase, we could look into the "Oh Shit" phase also, would our behavior be different?
Train Pals
I was reminded of the days when I used to travel to work regularly by train. I saw then that the same set of people traveled by the same compartment in the same train each day (well almost, don't expect me to spot them in a police lineup). Well imagine the train compartment meant to carry 50 seated passengers. It would carry a total of 150+ passengers. Some would be singing bhajans, some groups would be playing cards. Playing cards??? Yes.. Groups of 4 would be playing cards. Many times I would not be able to look at my watch because my wrist was somewhere else and not easily accessible. I would try to glance out of the window to see which place we were passing by and that would give me an approximate (+/- 3 minutes) indication of what the time was.
There was many a time when I had a hand in each of my trouser pockets. And then I would panic. Because one of my hands was holding the rod above for support. How then were TWO hands in my two pockets? Which hand was alien? Well in a few minutes I would get the answer. I would get off the train with only my hands, but with my wallet missing (or in case the pickpocket was a nice man, he would leave the wallet and some small change for me to get home).
Those were the days!
Incidentally I found that this Mary Hopkins song was copied from a 1967 Russian song.
