Dear Friends,
If the Governments proposals are implemented all the households with a
PAN card holder as head of the family shall have to pay an additional
sum of Rs. 210 for each refilling of LPG cylinders. A day may not be
too far when the ordinary home makers might insist for surrendering
the PAN card that burns big hole in the pocket.
But I feel it is a good move to remove subsidy on LPG, but through PAN
card route does not seem to be correct. Let Income be the basis
instead of PAN card which has become as common as pan(beeda)

INDIA IN 2030 (WAT A DREAM)
Year : 2030
Place : IBM, USA (Two Americans Talking)
Currency Conversion Rate : INR 1 Rs = USD $ 100
Alex: Hi John, you didn't come yesterday to office?
John: Yeah, I was in Indian Embassy for stamping.
Alex: Oh really, what happened, I heard that nowadays it has become
very
strict.
John: Yeah, but I managed to get it.
Alex: How long it took to get it stamped?
John: Oh, it was nasty man, long queue. Bill Gates was standing in
front
of me and they played with him like anything. That's why it got
delayed.
I went there at 2 AM itself and waited and returned by 4 PM.
Alex: Really? In India, it is a matter of an hour to get stamped for
USA
John: Yeah, but that is because who in India will be interested in
coming to USA man, their economy has been booming.
Alex: So, when are you leaving?
John: Anytime, after receiving my tickets from the client in India and
you know, I will be getting a chance to fly Air-India. Sort of dream
come
true.
Alex: How long are you going to stay in India.
John: What do you mean by how long? I will be settled in India, my
company has promised me that they will process my Hara Patta ..(green
card)
Alex: Really, lucky person man, it is very difficult to get a Hara
Patta
in India.
John: Yeah, that's why, I am planning to marry an Indian girl there.
Alex: But you can find lots of US girls in Hyderabad, Bangalore and
Mumbai.
John: But, I prefer Indian girls because they are beautiful and
cultured.
Alex: Where did you get the offer, Bangalore ?
John: Yeah, salary is good there, but cost of living is quite high,
it is
Rs. 2000/- for a single room accommodation.
Alex: I see, that's too much for US people, Rs.1/- =$100/-. Oh God!
what
about in Hyderabad , Mumbai?
John: No idea, but it is less than what we have in Bangalore . It is
like the world headquarters of software
Alex: I heard, almost all the Indians are having one personal Robot
for
help.
John: You can get a BMW car for Rs. 5000/-, and a personal Robot for
less
than Rs.7500/-. But my dream is to purchase Ambassador, which costs
Rs.2,00,000/-
but has got a lovely design.
Alex: By the way, who is your client?
John: Subbarao and Apparao Associates, a pure Indian company,
specialising in Embedded Software.
Alex: Oh, really, lucky to work in a pure Indian company. They are
really
intelligent and unlike American Bodyshoppers who have opened their
Fly-by-night outfits in India. Indian companies pay you in full even
when
you are on bench.
My friend Paul Allen, it seems, used his bench time to visit Bihar,
the
most liveable place in India, probably world. There you have full
freedom and no restrictions. You can do whatever you want! I wonder
how
that state has perfected that system.
John: Yeah man!, you are right. I hope our Americaalso follows their
footsteps.
Alex: How are you going to cope with their language?
John: Why not? From my school days I have been learning Hindi as my
first
language here at New York. At the Consulate they tested my
proficiency in
Hindi and were quite impressed by my cent per cent score in TOHIL
i.e.
Test of Hindi as International Language.
Alex: So, you are going to have fun there.
John: Yeah, I will be travelling in the world's fastest train,
world's
argest theme park, and
the famous Bollywood where you can see actors
like, Hrithik, Shah Rukh Khan and all. Esselworld is also near
Bollywood.
Alex: You know, the PM is scheduled to visit US next year, he may
then
relax the number of visas.
John: That's true. Last month, Narayana Murthy visited White House
and
donated Rs. 2000/- for infrastructure development at a SiliconValley
and
has promised more if we follow the model of High-Tech City of
Bangalore
. Bill Gates also got a chance of meeting him. Very lucky person.
Alex: But, Indian government is planning to split Narayanamurthy's
Infosys.
John: He is a hard worker man, he can build any number of Infosys
like
this. Every minute he is getting Rs. 1000/-. It seems, if you keep
all
his money converted as Rs. 100/- notes you can reach Pluto.
Alex: OK, Good Luck John.
John: Same to you Alex. And don't go to Consulate in a "Kurta Pyjama"
because they will think you are too Indianised and may doubt you will
never come back and hence your Non-Immigrant Visa may get rejected.
But
don't forget to say " Namaste, aap kaise hai " to the Visa officer at
Window 5. It seems he likes that and will not give you a visa if you
don't
greet him that way.
Alex: Sure, lucky guy!

Major Pitambre or Sanjay Dutt - A MUST READING FOR INDIAN PATRIOTS
Shame on Indian Media??? Really what a shame...
By the time u guys read this news, the body of Major Manish Pitambare,
who
was shot dead at Anantnag, would have been cremated with full military
honors.
On Tuesday, this news swept across all the news channels 'Sanjay Dutt
relieved by court'. 'Sirf Munna not a bhai' '13 saal ka vanvaas khatam'
'although found guilty for possession of armory, Sanjay can breath sigh
of
relief as all the TADA charges against him are withdrawn' Then many
personalities like Salman Khan said 'He is a good person. We knew he
will
come out clean'. Mr Big B said "Dutt's family and our family have
relations
for years he's a good kid. He is like elder brother to Abhishek". His
sister Priya Dutt said "we can sleep well tonight. It's a great relief"
In other news, Parliament was mad at Indian team for performing bad;
Greg
Chappell said something; Shah Rukh Khan replaces Amitabh in KBC and
other
such stuff. But most of the emphasis was given on Sanjay Dutt's "phoenix
like" comeback from the ashes of terrorist charges. Surfing through the
channels, one news on BBC startled me. It read "Hisbul Mujahidin's most
wanted terrorist 'Sohel Faisal' killed in Anantnag , India . Indian
Major
leading the operation lost his life in the process. Four others are
injured.
It was past midnight , I started visiting the stupid Indian channels,
but
Sanjay Dutt was still ruling. They were telling how Sanjay pleaded to
the
court saying 'I'm the sole bread earner for my family', 'I have a
daughter
who is studying in US' and so on. Then they showed how Sanjay was not
wearing his lucky blue shirt while he was hearing the verdict and also
how
he went to every temple and prayed for the last few months. A suspect in
Mumbai bomb blasts, convicted under armory act...was being transformed
into
a hero.
Sure Sanjay Dutt has a daughter; Sure he did not do any terrorist
activity.
Possessing an AK47 is considered too elementary in terrorist community
and
also one who possesses an AK47 has a right to possess a pistol so that
again is not such a big crime; Sure Sanjay Dutt went to all the temples;
Sure he did a lot of Gandhigiri but then........ ...
Major Manish H Pitambare got the information from his sources about the
terrorists' whereabouts. Wasting no time he attacked the camp, killed
Hisbul Mujahidin's supremo and in the process lost his life to the
bullets
fired from an AK47. He is survived by a wife and daughter (just like
Sanjay
Dutt) who's only 18 months old.
Major Manish never said 'I have a daughter' before he took the decision
to
attack the terrorists in the darkest of nights. He never thought about
having a family and he being the bread earner. No news channel covered
this
since they were too busy hyping a former drug addict, a suspect who's
linked to bomb blasts which killed hundreds. Their aim was to show how
he
defied the TADA charges and they were so successful that his conviction
in
possession of armory had no meaning. They also concluded that his
parents
in heaven must be happy and proud of him.
Parents of Major Manish are still living and they have to live rest of
their lives without their beloved son. His
daughter won't ever see her daddy again.
So guys, please forward this message around so that the media knows
which
news to give importance, as it is a shame for us since this Army Major's
death news was given by a foreign TV channel!!!

ANT & GRASSHOPPER
OLD VERSION...
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his 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.
MODERN VERSION
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his 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 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 it 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.
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 Members of Parliament (MPs) stage a walkout.Left parties call for
"Bharat 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 the GrassHopper in educational
Insititutions & in Govt Services. The ant is fined for failing to comply
with POTAGA
and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his 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 ...
As a result losing lot of hard working ants and feeding the grasshoppers,
India is still a developing
country......

Bill gates Challenged by an Indian
Be proud...Breaking news!!Bill gates Challenged by an Indian!!!Just one INDIAN is challenging against Bill gates...... This is not only ground breaking news; it's space-breaking news indeed.Fwd it to as many Indians as possible.Ramlal Bhagat, a XII std. student from Haryana, has developed a 32-bit operating system demonstrated to be far superior to any of the desktop operating systems in the market today.The program has been named "O-Yes". O-Yes provides operating system services on any Pentium-based Personal computer (PC) and does not require MS- DOS as a base operating system.The operating system's capabilities were demonstrated in a student convention at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi. HCL Ltd. conducted benchmarks on the systemand published results, which are partly reported here: O -Yes is 34% faster than Microsoft's Windows 95 on similar hardware.It is 29% faster than IBM's OS/2. O-Yes loads 54% quicker than Windows 95 or OS/2. O-Yes has acustomizable, user-friendly graphical User Interface (GUI), in which every program can be accessed with a maximum of two button clicks. The operating system provides plug n play capability with numerous hardware devices. It has a superior memory management function. The operatingsystem is compatible with Windows95& WindowsNT4.0.HCL, Ltd. has offered an unknown amount to Ramlal Bhagat for purchasing the rights to the software.Ramlal Bhagat, described as" quiet and philosophical" by his peers, was not available for comment.Suresh Reddy, spokesman for HCL Ltd., said, "This is the operating system that the world has been waiting for". On HCL's move to purchase the rights to the software, he said,"We are here to ensure that Mr.Ramlal gets fair recognition andcompensation for his innovation. HCL Ltd. Can provide him a firm launch-pad to market softwareglobally".Is this the beginning of the end of the Bill Gates' monopoly? Let's see...

49 O
What is 49’O ?
"In a particular constituency, if a voter has dislike to all of the
candidates competing there, then he can show his dislike to all of them
by
registering for 49'O.
Steps for doing this :
1. While registering the name at the time of voting, convey the booth
officials that "I want to go for 49'O".
2. Register your signature in the 49'O form available there. "
Done!
Now, if the number of 49'O count is larger than that of the winning
candidates total vote count, then a re-election is called there. More
than
all, the shameful fact is, this 49'O is available ever since 1960, but
it
is in no way conveyed to the people. Neither the government communicate
this, nor did the election commission.
As long as the people are unaware of this one, the political parties
are
enjoying by winning the election and ditching our country. To stop this
disaster to continue further, we don't need to take a sword and fight
against the government. Just help every citizen to know that they have
such a powerful weapon which can be used for ensuring their welfare.
None of the media will be ready to publish this 49'O.
Let us do this by ourselves. Communicate this information with all your
family, friends, and neighbors as much as you can and let them know
their
right. Please send this mail to everyone you know and request them to
spread it across to everyone. Convey this information to as many people
you know. We get a satisfaction that we have done a good service for
our
country's welfare. This is very well equal to what our patriots have
done
for the independence of our country. Very less time left before the
next
election drama. Before that lets make sure that everyone speaks about
this
word " 49'O".
Thanks
