The Great Indian Circus 2009

It that time when we get to see the Great Indian Circus. Its Election time. This is the time when friends turn foes, foes turn friends, alliances are made or broken, U-turns are order of the day. But what is really funny this time is how some of our leaders have realized that this is their last chance to fulfill their dreams. Here I am talking about L K Advani and Sharad Pawar.

Both are on the wrong side of age, both know its now or never…..ever. L K Advani might be regretting the day he had proposed the name of Atal Bihari Vajpayee for Prime Ministership. Then, he might have expected that his government will do wonders, and will be voted to power again. Unfortunately, that was not to happen. Now he knows , if this time his party does not come to power, age will make it difficult for him after 5 years.

Sharad Pawar is another such person. Age and health both are troubling him. But one thing I dont understand about this person is what is the strength of his party or his own stand , that he should be considered as a Prime Minister Candidate. Except for Maharashtra, what is this guys stand in the other states. Except for Cricket, would the general public had heard of this stalwart…..due apologies to him.

There is one more name in the fray…..Mayawati !!!!! God forbid!!!!!! Imagine her attending an international conference :). India a fast developing country, India an IT hub, and a Behenji at its prime seat. Unimaginable.

Though I am not supporting any of the above for the seat of Prime Ministership, I would personally love to see Rahul Gandhi on the seat soon. Like his father, I believe, he too will lead India ahead to great development. But he is not yet ready. There is still time for him. Till then we have to see the Great Indian Circus:(

How to Dance in the Rain

 

How to Dance in the Rain

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly
gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.
While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.
He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.
He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?'
He smiled
as he patted my hand and said,
'She doesn't know me,
but I still know who she is.'
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,
'That is the kind of love
I want in my life.'
True love is neither
physical, nor romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message. This one I thought
I could share with you.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the best
of everything they have.
I hope you share this with someone you care about.
I just did.

'Life isn't about how to survive the storm,

but how to dance in the rain.

Women think they are really SMART - Good One!!!

 

women think they are really SMART

A woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.

She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog told her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes."

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get it ten times!"

The woman said, "That's okay."

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to". The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will have eyes only for me."

So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, "That

will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you. " The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine."

So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack!"

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them!

Attention female readers: This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good!

Male readers: Please scroll down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife!!!

Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they're really smart!

Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show!

PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen!!!

Forward this to all the guys for a good laugh, and to all the ladies who have a good sense of humour!

Joke .. The classic response!! :)

Just couldnt resist putting this one up on the blog :

A classic response!!!

I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 92).

We decided to grab a bite at the food court.

I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager
had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue.
My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him
staring every time.

When the teenager had had enough, he sarcastically asked, 'What's the
matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?'

Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke
on his response, knowing he would have a good one, and in classic style he did
not bat an eye in his response.

'Got drunk once, and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if
you were my son.'
