A BEGGAR SITTING ON THE ROAD
WITH A BOARD THAT SAYS:
"GIVE ME SOME MONEY OR I'LL
VOTE FOR CONGRESS AGAIN &
YOU WILL SIT NEXT TO ME"
A few sarcastic yet funny replies to sexpert queries frm mumbai mirror:
Q: After having sex four times a day, I feel weak the next day. For about five minutes, my vision goes blank and I cant see anything properly. Please help.
A: What do you expect? Shouts of hurray and I am a champion all over town?
Q: Is it safe if penis is kept in the vagina when sleeping?
A: Usually when the penis returns to flaccid state, it will slide out of the vagina. Even if does not, be rest assured the vagina will not have it for breakfast.
Q. I am a 36-year-old man. Six months ago I had sex with a housewife. Then, I made as many as 220 strokes in the 40 minus of our intercourse. Today, I could only reach 180 in the same time. Please reply. I am worried.
A: Do take part in the Commonwealth Games since you seem like an athlete. My advice is to enjoy the act and stop counting. Do give a thought to whether you are satisfying your partner or not!
Q: I am a 25-year-old man. My penis is short and small in diameter. When aroused, its size increases to resemble a ¾ inch PVC pipe. I have heard that there are capsules available that help increase the size. Please advise.
A: As plenty of water can pass through a PVC pipe, similarly more than enough semen can pass out of your penis.
Q: I have heard that any kind of acidic substance can prevent pregnancy. Can I pour some drops of lemon or orange juice in my girlfriends vagina after the intercourse? Will it harm her?
A: Are you a bhel puri vendor? Where did you get this weird idea from? There are many other safe and easy methods of birth control.
You can consider using a condom.

A LETTER FROM A GIRL TO JRD TATA IN 1974
It was probably the April of 1974. Bangalore
was
getting warm and gulmohars were blooming at
the IISc campus. I was the only girl in my
postgraduate department and was staying at the
ladies' hostel. Other girls were pursuing research
in different departments of Science.
I was looking forward to going abroad to
complete
a doctorate in computer science. I had been
offered scholarships from Universities in the
US...
I had not thought of taking up a job in India.
One day, while on the way to my hostel from
our
lecture-hall complex, I saw an advertisement on
the notice board. It was a standard job-
requirement notice from the famous automobile
company Telco (now Tata Motors)... It stated
that
the company required young, bright engineers,
hardworking and with an excellent academic
background, etc.
At the bottom was a small line: 'Lady Candidates
need not apply.'
I read it and was very upset. For the first time
in
my life I was up against gender discrimination.
Though I was not keen on taking up the job, I
saw
it as a challenge. I had done extremely well in
academics, better than most of my male peers...
Little did I know then that in real life academic
excellence is not enough to be successful?
After reading the notice I went fuming to my
room. I decided to inform the topmost person
in
Telco's management about the injustice the
company was perpetrating. I got a postcard and
started to write, but there was a problem: I did
not know who headed Telco
I thought it must be one of the Tatas. I knew
JRD
Tata was the head of the Tata Group; I had seen
his pictures in newspapers (actually, Sumant
Moolgaokar was the company's chairman then) I
took the card, addressed it to JRD and started
writing. To this day I remember clearly what I
wrote.
'The great Tatas have always been pioneers. They
are the people who started the basic
infrastructure industries in India, such as iron
and
steel, chemicals, textiles and locomotives they
have cared for higher education in India since
1900 and they were responsible for the
establishment of the Indian Institute of Science.
Fortunately, I study there. But I am surprised
how a company such as Telco is discriminating
on
the basis of gender.'
I posted the letter and forgot about it. Less than
10 days later, I received a telegram stating that
I
had to appear for an interview at Telco's Pune
facility at the company's expense. I was taken
aback by the telegram. My hostel mate told me I
should use the opportunity to go to Pune free of
cost and buy them the famous Pune saris for
cheap! I collected Rs30 each from everyone who
wanted a sari when I look back, I feel like
laughing at the reasons for my going, but back
then they seemed good enough to make the trip.
It was my first visit to Pune and I immediately
fell
in love with the city.
To this day it remains dear to me. I feel as much
at home in Pune as I do in Hubli, my hometown.
The place changed my life in so many ways. As
directed, I went to Telco's Pimpri office for the
interview.
There were six people on the panel and I
realized
then that this was serious business.
'This is the girl who wrote to JRD,' I heard
somebody whisper as soon as I entered the
room.
By then I knew for sure that I would not get the
job. The realization abolished all fear from my
mind, so I was rather cool while the interview
was
being conducted.
Even before the interview started, I reckoned
the
panel was biased, so I told them, rather
impolitely, 'I hope this is only a technical
interview.'
They were taken aback by my rudeness, and
even
today I am ashamed about my attitude.
The panel asked me technical questions and I
answered all of them.
Then an elderly gentleman with an affectionate
voice told me, 'Do you know why we said lady
candidates need not apply? The reason is that
we
have never employed any ladies on the shop
floor. This is not a co-ed college; this is a
factory.
When it comes to academics, you are a first
ranker throughout. We appreciate that, but
people like you should work in research
laboratories.
I was a young girl from small-town Hubli. My
world had been a limited place.
I did not know the ways of large corporate
houses
and their difficulties, so I answered, 'But you
must start somewhere, otherwise no woman will
ever be able to work in your factories.'
Finally, after a long interview, I was told I had
been successful. So this was what the future had
in store for me. Never had I thought I would
take
up a job in Pune. I met a shy young man from
Karnataka there, we became good friends and we
got married.
It was only after joining Telco that I realized
who
JRD was: the uncrowned king of Indian industry.
Now I was scared, but I did not get to meet him
till I was transferred to Bombay. One day I had
to
show some reports to Mr Moolgaokar, our
chairman, who we all knew as SM. I was in his
office on the first floor of Bombay House (the
Tata headquarters) when, suddenly JRD walked
in.
That was the first time I saw 'appro JRD'. Appro
means 'our' in Gujarati. This was the affectionate
term by which people at Bombay House called
him.
I was feeling very nervous, remembering my
postcard episode. SM introduced me nicely, 'Jeh
(that's what his close associates called him), this
young woman is an engineer and that too a
postgraduate.
She is the first woman to work on the Telco
shop
floor.' JRD looked at me. I was praying he would
not ask me any questions about my interview (or
the postcard that preceded it).
Thankfully, he didn't. Instead, he remarked. 'It
is
nice that girls are getting into engineering in our
country. By the way, what is your name?'
'When I joined Telco I was Sudha Kulkarni, Sir,' I
replied. 'Now I am Sudha Murthy.' He smiled
and
kindly smile and started a discussion with SM. As
for me, I almost ran out of the room.
After that I used to see JRD on and off. He was
the Tata Group chairman and I was merely an
engineer. There was nothing that we had in
common. I was in awe of him.
One day I was waiting for Murthy, my husband,
to pick me up after office hours. To my surprise
I
saw JRD standing next to me. I did not know
how
to react. Yet again I started worrying about that
postcard. Looking back, I realize JRD had
forgotten about it. It must have been a small
incident for him, but not so for me.
'Young lady, why are you here?' he asked. 'Office
time is over.' I said, 'Sir, I'm waiting for my
husband to come and pick me up.' JRD said, 'It
is
getting dark and there's no one in the corridor.
I'll wait with you till your husband comes.'
I was quite used to waiting for Murthy, but
having JRD waiting alongside made me extremely
uncomfortable.
I was nervous. Out of the corner of my eye I
looked at him. He wore a simple white pant and
shirt. He was old, yet his face was glowing.
There
wasn't any air of superiority about him. I was
thinking, 'Look at this person. He is a chairman,
a
well-respected man in our country and he is
waiting for the sake of an ordinary employee.'
Then I saw Murthy and I rushed out. JRD called
and said, 'Young lady, tell your husband never to
make his wife wait again.' In 1982 I had to
resign
from my job at Telco. I was reluctant to go, but
I
really did not have a choice. I was coming down
the steps of Bombay House after wrapping up
my
final settlement when I saw JRD coming up. He
was absorbed in thought. I wanted to say
goodbye to him, so I stopped. He saw me and
paused.
Gently, he said, 'So what are you doing, Mrs.
Kulkarni?' (That was the way he always
addressed
me.) 'Sir, I am leaving Telco.'
'Where are you going?' he asked. 'Pune, Sir. My
husband is starting a company called Infosys
and
I'm shifting to Pune.'
'Oh! And what will you do when you are
successful.'
'Sir, I don't know whether we will be successful.'
'Never start with diffidence,' he advised me
'Always start with confidence. When you are
successful you must give back to society. Society
gives us so much; we must reciprocate. Wish
you
all the best.'
Then JRD continued walking up the stairs. I
stood
there for what seemed like a millennium. That
was the last time I saw him alive.
Many years later I met Ratan Tata in the same
Bombay House, occupying the chair JRD once
did.
I told him of my many sweet memories of
working with Telco. Later, he wrote to me, 'It
was
nice hearing about Jeh from you.
The sad part is that he's not alive to see you
today.'
I consider JRD a great man because, despite
being
an extremely busy person, he valued one
postcard written by a young girl seeking justice.
He must have received thousands of letters
everyday. He could have thrown mine away, but
he didn't do that. He respected the intentions of
that unknown girl, who had neither influence
nor
money, and gave her an opportunity in his
company. He did not merely give her a job; he
changed her life and mindset forever.
Close to 50 per cent of the students in today's
engineering colleges are girls. And there are
women on the shop floor in many industry
segments. I see these changes and I think of JRD.
If at all time stops and asks me what I want
from
life, I would say I wish JRD were alive today to
see how the company we started has grown. He
would have enjoyed it wholeheartedly.
My love and respect for the House of Tata
remains undiminished by the passage of time. I
always looked up to JRD. I saw him as a role
model for his simplicity, his generosity, his
kindness and the care he took of his employees.
Those blue eyes always reminded me of the sky;
they had the same vastness and magnificence.

chairperson of the Infosys Foundation involved

To Be 26 again!
A man in his late forties was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday.
'I'd like to be twenty six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror ..
On the morning of her Birthday, he rose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her to Adventure World theme park on a bike. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything.
Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to the most happening pub where he ordered and danced body to body
Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite chocolate. What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.
He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being 26 again?
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed .
'I meant my waist size, you Retard!!'
Moral of the story: No matter how attentively you listen to a woman, you are gonna get it wrong!!

UNO reporting that Radamel Falcao was born in 1984. A document from his school showing he's 29 years old
Monaco got ripped off if this is true.Serves them sugar daddies right.How does that effect his performance?i bet he'd do great for 4 years at least.
United bought RVP knowing he is 29,and that turned out great even though there were doubts of him being injury prone and all
