Emperor's new clothes?


Dehydrated water? Unbelievable! An oxymoron!!!

Think Again!!!
"It is a patented product and we began "manufacturing" it in the 1960's when space flights began" according to the company...
well, a need was definitely there for the astronauts, but what does it contain and how?

Past, present and future

Saw this great line on a friend's status message:
"Past...perfect, present....continuous, future....tense!!!"

My mother

It seems that when my cousin was in 3rd std, she entered an elocution competition. The topic given was "My mother".
She started her elocution competition with the line "My mother is very useful to me....!!!"

Wordless love story

Way of addressing

The way some Indians address their friends indicates the area they have mostly likely spent their childhood/college time. Take for example the following addresses:
Thanks yaar
Thanks di
Thanks maga
Thanks re
From my non-scientific analysis, I have so far identified some of the places these are most commonly used. 'maga' is from Karnataka where maga literarily means son. Sentences ending with 're' are from Mumbai. Usually people using 'di' are from Tamilnadu while yaar is a commonly used in North India.
So when you hear someone talk to their friends, you can atleast make out where they have most likely been brought up in. There is no gaurantee however as people may want to sometimes portray a certain image and may use a certain style to be identified with.
