Somebody please give Kellogs Iron Shakti to the guys who made that Complan ad! The ad says that children who drink it grow twice as much. Complan drinking children grew 6cm, whereas other kids grew only 3cm. Fair enough. But why the hell is the scale measuring the children in feet and the sub-division in centimetres?
No child in the ad points that out. Seems complan-drinking children grow tall, not smart!
“The beggars are creating an awareness campaign among politicians and the public-at-large for a minimum alms rate.”: Beggars, choosers- Hindustan Times
I would usually not pay attention to a news piece like this, attributing it to general Air Rage:
“Scores of Chinese air passengers smashed computers and desks and clashed with police Tuesday after a night stranded at an airport without accommodation, state media said.”: Angry, late, tired passengers make computers crash | Oddly Enough | Reuters
But when this happens:
There have also been cases in which passengers, after delayed arrivals, have refused to get off the planes in protest.
I think it’s really cool!
A consultant psychiatrist at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Khandelwal records fascinating vignettes of daily life at himalayanadventurer.blogspot.com.

Why is it so difficult to have that blogspot URL as a link in the article? This was a web-based article. And all that is web-based is better when it is hypertext. Go digital, but continue thinking paper. Classic , innit?

In today’s news:
But the actor did not interact with the media or shake hands with any of the policemen.
Thank God for that, that would have been worse than the crimes he was convicted for. Absolutely non-bailable stuff. Lucky Sanjay – saved himself from going back again.

The next time your parents tell you, you have to live somewhere, you really don’t! Just ensure that you have “strong expression”.

Perhaps it has got to to do with all the obesity news? Sorry. I can’t write any further. Have to get off the floor and stop laughing!
It wasn’t the monkeys, and even you know that.
When you say, Monkeys Kill Delhi Deputy Mayor, you don’t really mean it, do you? Obviously the guy fell down from a terrace and died.
SS Bajwa suffered serious head injuries when he fell from the first-floor terrace of his home on Saturday morning trying to fight off the monkeys.
Delhi Deputy Mayor dies due to fall, while (or should that be ‘after’) fighting monkeys, is a much better headline. But then, who has the space, who has the space…
Imagine, for RSS readers worldwide, you might actually imagine that the Dep. Mayor of the Capital of the seventh largest country fights monkeys.
Ah…well.

Er…ok.
