Oedipus complex
Bella was upset because her fiancé had been to a clinical psychologist and the results were not good.
She told her mother, “I don’t think I can marry Marvin, Ma. His psychologist told him he has an Oedipus complex.”
Her mother shrugged and said, “Bella, don’t listen to all that fancy talk. I’ve watched Marvin and he seems fine to me. Just look how much he loves his mother.”
No Joint Probe
Why is Pranab Mukherjee is adamant is not allowing Pakistanis to probe the blast site?
We give big lectures on transparency, then why don’t we follow them? If India believes that it is not responsible for the death of Pakistani Nationals, then all their government to investigate.

Indian kids more famished than Sub-Saharan African
Read this news article from WorldBank quoting a UNICEF study on kids.

Also read this article about how UN actually used Peace Keeping contracts as bargaining chips. Considering that Bangladesh, Pakistan, India and Nepal together constitute majority of the UN peace keepers, this development can have undesirable influence over the sub-continent.

Thought 1
A Man was walking down a street when he heard a voice from behind, “If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you.”
The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him. The man was astonished.
He went on, and after a while he was going to cross the road.
Once again the voice shouted, “Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a car will run over you, and you will die.”
The man did as he was instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him.
The man asked. “Who are you?”
“I am your guardian angel,” the voice answered.
“Oh, yeah?” the man asked “And where the hell were you when I got married?”

Thought 2 #
Everyone in the wedding ceremony was watching the radiant bride as her father escorted her down the aisle to give away to the groom. They reached the altar and the waiting groom; the bride kissed her father and placed some thing in his hand.
Everyone in the room was wondering what was given to the father by the bride. The father could feel the suspense in the air and all eyes were on him to divulge the secret and say something.
So he announced “Ladies and Gentlemen today is the luckiest day of my life.”
Then he raised his hands with what his daughter gave him and continued, “My daughter finally, finally returned my credit card to me.”
The whole audience including priest started laughing……….but not the poor groom!

Communal Intolerance
You know what is the problem with India?
It’s the Muslims.
India has been under Muslim rule since 1001 (when Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi defeated Raja Jayapala of the Hindu Shahi Dynasty of Gandhara) till 1857 when the last of Muslim ruler Bahadur Shah Zafar (a reluctant leader) was captured. But still Muslims constitute less than 1/7 of the Indian population.
Muslims had the largest armies and controlled the most fertile lands for 800, yet they were unsuccessful in eliminating a threat. Why?
Is it because they were too genteel to force their subjects to adopt their faith?
At any given point of time in the country’s history, you are more likely to find a Hindu dominated area in a region under a prolonged Muslim rule (>100 years) than a Muslim dominated area under a Hindu ruler. Why?
If Akbar and other secular Muslim rulers would have seen Hindus of today, they might have probably sanctioned genocides rather than fund a Golden Temple.
When I see a communal violence, I do not know whom to blame.
Should I blame Muslims from this lack of foresight or should I blame Hindus for not being civilized?
Inherently we Hindus are fanatics who worship Swastika. During 3rd century BC we brutally exiled all the Buddhist cults that flourished during the time of Ashoka. Then 3 centuries later, we killed the Disciples of Christ who landed in Kerela.
Do you know what happened on the day India got Independence? These fanatics went back to their barbaric ways. They would have succeeded 60 years ago, had that old man in khadi was not there. But today, under the able leadership of Shiv Sena and VHP, this country shall be cleansed of beef eaters.
