FM's Favorite Sport 

A journalist, who was fed up with the state of the Indian Economy, decided to ask the views of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on sports instead of Indian economy.

He asked, "Dear FM, which game do you like?"

FM replied, "Cricket when played in India."

Journalist further asked, "which part of Cricket do you like, I mean batting or bowling?"

Our great economist replied, "No, No, I LIKE THE TOSS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MATCH IN INDIA."

Journalist was amused and asked, "Why, only toss Sir?"

Jaitley smiled for the first time and told, "BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY TIME WHEN I SEE OUR RUPEE GOING UP."

Glamour of Show Business 

A man is hired by the circus to perform a necessary but rather unpleasant task. He is asked to walk behind the elephants in the center ring, shoveling aside their droppings as they walk about. After a rather difficult evening at work, he goes to the circus cafeteria, sits with other workers, and begins complaining about his work.

"It's just terrible work, walking behind those huge beasts and first dodging, then shoveling aside the dung they produce. My arms are tired, my shoes and pants are a mess, and I'll have to shower before I return home, because of the stink."

His friends at work agree, "Why don't you just quit this miserable job and find something more rewarding to do. You have to have some skills and talents that you can put to use somewhere else."

He looks at them, stunned, "You know, you're probably right, but I just can't give up the glamour of show business!"

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...
