The Beggar
Two college students, Akshay and Sunil, are sititng in a taxi in Mumbai when a beggar approaches them asking for spare change. Akshay adamantly rejects the man in disgust. Sunil, on the other hand, whips out his wallet, pulls out a couples of notes and gladly hands them over to the beggar with a smile. The beggar thanks him kindly and then continues to other taxis. Akshay is outraged by his friend's act of generosity. "What on earth did you do that for?" yells Akshay. "You know he's only going to use it on cigarattes and alcohol."
Sunil replies, "And we weren't?"

where there is deal, cut;
where there is pact, brokerage;
where there is bill, fee.
Oh, Apolitical... » READ MORE
India’s not playing too well,
Defeat has a sour smell,
Tired bowlers can take no wickets,
Flashy bats keep punching their tickets,
Blame it all on the IPL.
Among the ruins, standing tall,
Is the man we call The Wall,
Dravid, recalled to the one-days,
For the BCCI may as well say,

Once upon a time, you really hadn't arrived in Indian politics unless you'd had footwear hurled at you. But things change fast in politics and the flavour of the day is the slap.
