Headlines : 24th May, Wednesday

It’s another scorcher of a day in the North. Forget the students and doctors, even Ministers were drinking liters of water to beat the heat.

On hearing the government's decision to go ahead with 27% reservations from 2007, the students and doctors on strike in
Delhi have vowed to make their protests more intense. What more can they do? They are already drinking only water for sustenance........how can you make your life even tougher? By drinking only Pepsi?

Did you know that Manu Sharma, the prime accused in the Jessica Lal murder case, actually gave the police a written confession when he was initially under interrogation? The police managed to mess it up by not having a magistrate present and the judge acquitted everyone during the trial. From the criminal's standpoint, I don’t see what more he can do........he voluntarily surrendered to the police and gave a written confession. How lazy and stupid must the cops be if they can’t even close this kind of case successfully? Can you imagine them hunting Bin Laden? Even if Osama came up to the police station and surrendered, the cops are likely to go - “Can you come back after lunchtime? My wife has cooked me fish curry and biryani today. She never does that. I hope you can understand......see you later, ok?.......nice beard, by the way ".

The BJP and RSS have strongly refuted the Pope's remarks where he was condemning the religious intolerance in India. By doing this, the BJP has sent out a clear message. They can't be bossed over by anybody and everybody from Italy..........Sonia is just an exception to the rule.

Yesterday when I went to the market, there was total chaos. Someone had spread the rumor that prices of vegetables were going to go down in the next two days. Everyone was in tension….people were selling their stuff at ridiculous prices….lot of shouting an fighting all around…..I did my best to explain to them that the reports were not true. I tried to explain patiently, and then shouted, and finally pleaded with them to believe me. But no one seemed to care. It was as if I was not even existent. Suddenly, I realized what P.Chidambaram was going through a couple of days ago on Black Monday.

Surveys can often throw up some strange findings. Like the opinion poll conducted by CNN-IBN which shows that people in India think that Laloo Prasad Yadav is one of the top three ministers in the Cabinet of the UPA Govt. Unbelievable, isn’t it? . Are all Indians who are not inside an IIT campus stupid? How could they think this? When George Bush heard about this survey, he was seen grumbling - “Oh man, I am in charge of the wrong country !!! ".

The following news articles contributed by Srivats :-)

Microsoft has claimed that its new Windows release is on Schedule.
They are following the same schedule as the producers of Vettayaadu Vilayadu.

President Kalam is set to fly in the new Sukoy - 30 IAF aircraft next month. Ever heard a president boarding a MiG - 23 combat trainer before?

As they say 27% of all statistics are crap.

Have you guys heard of Barbaro the horse which hurt is its hind leg during one of the jumping things. Wayne Rooney is quite upset about the fact that more people are closely watching the horse's recovery than his. Well Rooney! An English cow can get only so much attention I guess.
