A nice joke

November 7, the anniversary of the October Revolution. The military parade at the Red Square in Moscow. Napoleon and Murat are among the invited VIPs: ambassadors, chairmen of the communist parties and so on. Napoleon reads "Pravda" newspaper and Murat observes the parade in excitement.

Murat: "Your Excellence, look at these brave soldiers! If we had a battallion of such soldiers, we could have won the battle of Waterloo!" Napoleon keeps reading Pravda. The Kantermirov tank division enters the Red Square.

Murat: "Your Excellence, look at these tanks! If we had one of them, we could have won the battle of Waterloo!" Napoleon keeps reading Pravda. The mobile tactical missiles slowly enter the scene.

Murat: "Your Excellence, look at these missiles! If we had just one of them, we could have won the battle of Waterloo!"

Napoleon raises his eyes, watches Murat sadly and finally utters: "Mon cher, if we had a newspaper like Pravda, the world would have never known that we had lost at Waterloo..."

A few years back, some policemen were beaten black & blue by some army men in my hometown. The trouble started after some soldier objected to the touts being given tickets out of turn & the touts as they always do started bullying the soldier & when he protested, he was beaten up by the touts. When he complained to the policemen present, the police also beat him & threw him out of the booking counter. He returned with some more soldiers, the touts ran away, but the policemen were present. These police men were really hammered very hard by the soldiers. They wrapped them in blankets & then kicked & beat them so as not to leave any marks. More policemen came & they also met the same fate.

I was very happy that these bastards (yes this is a compliment, for the policemen deserve worse epithets) met their match. I was reminded of this on seeing the Delhi or Haryana police beating up primary students mercilessly for protesting the murder of their principal.

Modi Again

Despite all the barking of all the mongrels & high breeds, Modi has increased his stature. A resounding win & yet another slap in the face of the English media & chocolate eating, champagne drinking tear jerkers who comfortable in their plush leather chairs claim to be fighting for the downtrodden. If only this could be replicated elsewhere, India would be a far better place for people who believe in being Indians. As for those who don't let them go to hell. That's the only thing they deserve.

Came across this moronic man called Zakir Naik, who claimed that Americans are pigs & that they should turn to Islam for getting salvation. He seems to be yet another of those idiots who are bent on showing how something that can be made very good can be turned into a devil's curse.

May be a rude thing to say, but the ISPs illegally capping the bandwidth at some places is simply frustrating. My old MTNL dial up connection was much faster than the 512 kbps Hathway broadband connection I have just taken. Even at 1:4 the 512 kbps connection ought to be much faster than what it is. Takes ages to download even a simple word document. And because the TRDAI has'nt as yet come up with any code of conduct for ISPs, the users must continue to be at the mercy of the ISPs. I would not recomend Hathway to anybody, even if it comes cheap & loaded with discounts. More than the technicalities, the attitude of the people at Hathway is simply disgusting.
