Baap Ka Sadak Hai ??

It is said that once Russi Mody, of Tata's, was on an official trip to Bombay.Even though it was a Sunday morning, Russi had to visit Bombay House, the Corporate Head Quarters of the Tata Group.

He was driving a Mercedes himself as it was a Sunday and there was very little traffic and also it was the chauffeur's day off. He was wearing simple shorts and a T shirt.

Knowing that he would take just a few minutes to finish his work in Bombay House and that it was a non-working day in the business district with very low traffic, he decided to take liberties to park his Mercedes in an otherwise no parking zone.

A conscientious traffic cop noticed all this, and he immediately rushed to Russi who had started sauntering towards the Bombay House entrance. In a gruff voice the Havaldar asked Russi, "Kyun Bhai, Baap Kaa Sadak Samajh Kay Rakha Hai Kya?" ("Does this road belong to your father?")

Russi very nonchalantly replied, "Haan kuchh aisa hi hai. Aapko Angrezi Padhna Aata Hai Kya?"

Then he gently held the Havaldar's arm and walked him to the kerbside, and pointed to the metal sign of the road.

He asked the cop, "Kya Likha Hai?

The cop said, "Sir Homi Mody Street."
A mischievously smiling Russi discloses, "Wo Mera Baap Tha.

The Memorial Stone

A man named Bill died. In his will, he asked for an elaborate funeral and his will allocated $100,000 dollars to cover its expenses.    


As the last guests departed the affair, his wife Nancy turned to her oldest and dearest friend. 


"Ah well, Bill would be pleased," she said.


"You're right," replied Mary, who lowered her voice and leaned in close.


"So go on, how much did this really cost?'"


 "All of it," said Nancy. "One hundred thousand."


"Oh no!!" Mary exclaimed, "I mean, it was very grand, but $100,000?!!" 


Nancy answered, "Well the funeral was $12,000. I donated $1,500 to the church. The whisky, wine and snacks were another $1,500... and the rest went for the Memorial Stone."


"All of it," said Helen. "Thirty thousand."

Mary computed quickly.

"For the love of God, Nancy! $85,000 for a Memorial Stone? 
HOW BIG IS IT?" 


So Nancy showed her...

Sunday Special--God's Cow!

Image
When I was a child,I was fascinated by  a few insects,like Butterflies,Jugnu (Glow worm-or firefly), Lady bug,and Beer bahuti(Brother's Bride-In Punjabi).The former two were out of reach of kids, Ladybirds and Beer Bahuti have long been of interest to children, as such I could play with the later Two. Now I learnt that both my favorites are somehow related to the cow! Surprised? I share my research  with you, as follows :- ladybugs/ lady birds called "God's cows" in some languages (such as Russian, French, Hebrew, etc.) The creature beloved in many countries. In Russian, we call it “God’s cow”. Yep, something like this. Ladybugs smell with their feet and antennae. The farmers began to call the Ladybugs “the Beetles of Our Lady” and eventually they were known as Lady Beetles. The Ladybug's red wings are said to represent the Virgin's cloak and the black spots her joys and sorrows. The Ladybug is widely...
