My dog is like ... ... ...

My dog is like ... ... ...

Here's a gem that I received from one of the email-groups that I'm a member of.

While I was unable to verify the veracity, it is claimed that the stuff below was originally written by the famous Nani Palkhiwala.

To say the least, many of us would very well think along similar lines, considering the extent to which the political class have been taking the country to the cleaners.

Unfortunately, the better human beings among us consciously choose to "never enter politics" - When such is the situation, how do we expect the political system to be cleaned up??? I have no answers - at least as yet.

How true it is !!!!!! Nani Palkhiwala eminent Lawyer wrote on 16 January 1984.

"The picture that emerges is that of a great country in a state of moral decay. The immediate future seems to belong to the doomsayers rather than to cheer mongers. We suffer from a fatty degeneration of conscience, and the malady seems to be not only persistent but prone to aggravation. The life style of too many politicians and businessmen bears eloquent testimony to the truth of dictum that the single minded pursuit of money impoverishes the mind, shrivels the imagination and desiccates the heart.

The tricolour fluttering all over the country is black, red and scarlet - black money, red tape and scarlet corruption."

My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day.

He has his food prepared for him.

He can eat whenever he wants, 24/7/365.

His meals are provided at no cost to him.

By the way he does not need to pay for medical insurance He visits the doctor once a year for his checkup, and again during the year if any medical needs arise.

For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.

He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up.

He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep.

He receives these accommodations absolutely free.

He is living like a King, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever.

All of his costs are picked up by others who go out and earn a living every day. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick in the head.......

My dog is like the Indian POLITICIAN!

How (and How much) the Internet damages the Environment

How (and How much) the Internet damages the Environment

Take a look at:

And all along we've been freaking out with our emails, tweets, facebook shares and what not, thinking that we're doing no damage to our beloved Planet Earth!

And what's surprising is that even this piece of wisdom came to me though the net and I'm further passing it on to all of you through the net!

Perhaps we ought to rethink our priorities and consider the necessity of the quantum of time that we invest on the net. Perhaps it would be better to go for a walk to the beach or the mountains!
