LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER
I am not sure of the author of this letter. But he speaks the mind of common man
LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER
Dear Mr. Prime minister
I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that.
Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India.
Enough is enough. As such after seeing terrorist attack carried out by about a dozen young boys I realize that if same thing continues days are not away when terrorist will attack by air, destroy our nuclear reactor and there will be one more Hiroshima.
We the people are left with only one mantra. Womb to Bomb to Tomb. You promised Mumbaikar Shanghai what you have given us is Jalianwala Baug.
Today only your home minister resigned. What took you so long to kick out this joker? Only reason was that he was loyal to Gandhi family. Loyalty to Gandhi family is more important than blood of innocent people, isn't it?
I am born and bought up in Mumbai for last fifty eight years. Believe me corruption in Maharashtra is worse than that in Bihar. Look at all the politician, Sharad Pawar, Chagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane, Bal Thackray , Gopinath Munde, Raj Thackray, Vilasrao Deshmukh all are rolling in money. Vilasrao Deshmukh is one of the worst Chief minister I have seen. His only business is to increase the FSI every other day, make money and send it to Delhi so Congress can fight next election. Now the clown has found new way and will increase FSI for fisherman so they can build concrete house right on sea shore. Next time terrorist can comfortably live in those house , enjoy the beauty of sea and then attack the Mumbai at their will.
Recently I had to purchase house in Mumbai. I met about two dozen builders. Everybody wanted about 30% in black. A common person like me knows this and with all your intelligent agency & CBI you and your finance minister are not aware of it. Where all the black money goes? To the underworld isn't it? Our politicians take help of these goondas to vacate people by force. I myself was victim of it. If you have time please come to me, I will tell you everything.
If this has been land of fools, idiots then I would not have ever cared to write you this letter. Just see the tragedy, on one side we are reaching moon, people are so intelligent and on other side you politician has converted nectar into deadly poison. I am everything Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Schedule caste, OBC, Muslim OBC, Christian Schedule caste, Creamy Schedule caste only what I am not is INDIAN. You politician have raped every part of mother India by your policy of divide and rule. Some elements of society are trying to divide Mumbai with north and south India. These elements were comfortably hiding last week in their holes like a rat does. Their activities month back were not less than terrorists, the only difference was no bullet.
Take example of former president Abdul Kalam. Such a intelligent person, such a fine human being. You politician didn't even spare him. Your party along with opposition joined the hands, because politician feels they are supreme and there is no place for good person.
Dear Mr Prime minister you are one of the most intelligent person, most learned person. Just wake up, be a real SARDAR. First and foremost expose all selfish politician. Ask Swiss bank to give name of all Indian account holder. Give reins of CBI to independent agency. Let them find wolf among us There will be political upheaval but that will better than dance of death which we are witnessing every day. Just give us ambient where we can work honestly and without fear. Let there be rule of law. Everything else will be taken care of.
Choice is yours Mr. Prime Minister. Do you want to be lead by one person or you want to lead the nation of 100 Crore people?

--- A Soldier's Letter To Our Dear President
| --- A Soldier's Letter To Our Dear President
While we awaited the pay commission bounty The IAS got there first and now, President Aunty We have no choice but to be blunt We are third class citizens, though manning the front The bureaucrats who decide things for us Have truly shown their animus And we who defend our dear nation Have again been shown our lower station
When the seventh pay commission comes around We will no doubt lose more ground Then Colonels would equal civilian clerks In salary, status and other perks Generals will wait on worn out chairs Outside IAS Officers' lairs
A once proud service is now so degraded That though their uniforms still be braided They are demoralised and wait to retire And then take up their pens to fire At those they served all their life In times of peace and in times of strife
The lesson from this, our children we tell Is that, if in life you want to do well And this, I am sure, every soldier endorses Do not ever join the forces
Just become a doctor or a pleader Perhaps, even better, a political leader Or an IAS officer, with his red light Why face the enemy, why risk a fight When the nation you guard does not value you much And treats you merely like a handy crutch To support the government in civil disorder Or when the enemy threatens the border But when the time comes to share the pie They get all antsy and ask - why???
So Madam President, hear us out A change is going to come about And we, the most courageous of all Will soon be replaced by the petty and small Alas, your government would be squarely to blame For this avoidable national shame |

Width of Railroad Tracks
Does the statement, 'We've always done it like that' ring any bells?
The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.
Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US railroads.
Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.
Why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.
Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing?
Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would
break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.
So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot.
Bureaucracies live forever.
So the next time you are handed a Specification/Procedure/Process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with it?' you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of the rear ends of two war horses... or two horses' asses.
Now, the twist to the story:
When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory at Utah . The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site.
The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains. And the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.
So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass.
And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important?
Ancient horse's asses control almost everything....
and CURRENT Horses Asses are controlling everything else!! You need look no further than Washington to confirm this. (WHY go all over Washington to learn about the obvious? Just peep into the WHITE HOUSE!) Incidentally, when the present incumbent was first elected and left his home state Texas for the first stint, all Texans assembled to consider renaming their State. Thus Texas of the yellow rose fame was unanimously abbreviated to
'TEX' ( Havn't figured out why yet??????? Tch, Tch, Tut, Tut! 'Cause they had finally succeeded in packing off their prize AS(S) to Washington, nay the White House itself !!! ..........however I now really feel sorry for the good folk of TEX......their prize AS(S) will be back soon like the Lone Star he always was.......they've now got to schedule another huge assembly to do the obvious.....the TEX-an Lame Duck will be taking over as 'Hon. Librarian at large' in his Pop's 'Bush Library' at Texas A&M, College Station/Bryan......so they've no choice but revert to the Lone Star state's original name......It has to be a unanimous decision with all bonafide Tex(ans) physically present in one place, as per their 'Yellow Rose Constitution' when the US annexed the then Texas from Mexico!!! )
HISTORICAL TRANSITION in THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
'HORSES' ASSES THEN; ASSES' ASSES NOW!_'_._,_.___
