Little Johnny Wants to Settle Down!!!

Little Johnny and Little Lisa are only 10 years old, but they know that they are in love. One day they decide that they want to get married, so Johnny goes to Lisa's father to ask for his blessing.

Johnny : Mr. Jones, me and Lisa are in love and I want to ask you for your blessing.
Mr. Jones : Well Johnny, you're only 10. Where will you two live?
Johnny : In Lisa's room.
Mr. Jones : Why in Lisa's room? Why not yours?
Johnny : It's bigger than mine and we can both fit there nicely.
Mr. Jones : Okay then how will you live? You're not old enough to get a job.
Johnny : Hmmmm...
Mr. Jones : How will you afford food and rent?
Johnny : With our allowance. Lisa gets 5 bucks a week and I get 10 bucks a week. That's about 60 bucks a month, and that should do us just fine.

By this time Mr. Jones is realizing that Johnny has put much thought into this. So, he thinks for a moment trying to come up with something that Johnny won't have an answer to.

Mr. Jones : Johnny, it seems like you've got everything all figured out.
Johnny : Yes I did.
Mr. Jones : I just have one more question for you.
Johnny : What is it?
Mr. Jones: What will you do if the two of you should kids of your own?
Johnny (shrugging his shoulders) : We've been lucky so far.

Mr. Jones faints.

The King of Pop, MJ.

King of Pop, Michael Jackson is no more. He died of Cardiac Arrest on 25th June, 2009. He was 50. The whole music world is in shock and so am I. Though he was surrounded by lot of controversies, he is a legend. The King of Pop.

I still remember when he toured India and his album History came out. I asked my dad to buy me the cassette and my father said.. "What is there in it? He's just shouting and we can' even understand what he's singing." It was 120 Rs. in those days (Well was in India then and 120 was a lot of money in those days). And of course there was no Internet for free download... :).... Anyhow I ended borrowing the cassette from my friend and listening to it.. and it was just awesome.

His performance at the MTV awards in 1996 was the best I ever saw and I can't comment on his moonwalk. Even words are too less for the act. He is one of his kind. The Legend. The world will miss the great pop singer and his moon walk. I dedicate this post to the greatest Pop singer of all times. MJ may your soul rest in peace. The world will miss you.

Here is the video of his album History teaser....

Srikar's 1st B'day

Today is Srikar's first birthday. We decorated the house with ribbons and balloons. Srikar cut the cake in the evening and we all wished him best wishes on his B'day. We didn't celebrate it in a grand way because he recently had surgery and we don't want him to feel stressed. To know Srikar better check his blog here.

Many Many Happy Returns of the day Srikar. Happy Birthday. Wish you all the happiness in the world.

My Phone, iPhone (OS 3.0)

Well well well.. The long awaited iPhone OS 3.0 is out.. I had to try for a long time installing it on my iPhone.. but it was giving me the same error again and again.. "Servers are unavialabe. try again later.. blah blah blah... " So tried again and again.. but didn't work.. So some how my internet got disconnected.. and suddenly I saw on my laptop it was installing... So by some network trick.. my iPhone got upgraded..

So the trick is .. if while updating ur iPhone to OS 3.0 it says that servers are not avilabe just disconnect your internet connection.... it works... but remember you have to disconnect your internet only after you click update in ur iTunes.. Once you do this.. your iPhone is all ready with the new OS 3.0..

So whats so good about this OS 3.0.... The best feature is ofcourse the copy and paste option which was missing all this time.. The other one is the voice recording.. now that is also a cool feature that is added to the iPhone.. The new address book is good... the call history is different.. you can now see the dialed called and received calls in a different way.. better than before.. hmm.. what else? oh ya.. another cool feature.. you can now shuffel while playing your songs just by shaking your iPhone.. cool ain't it..

So over all the new OS 3.0 is good.. But anyway my contract is getting over in another 2 - 3 months.. I am eyeing the new iPhone 3gS.... hopefuly I will buy that one...

My Social Networks and Blogs

With so many social networks around I remember the first time I opened an account in Orkut. I always felt its waste of time for creating so many accounts in so many different networks like myspace, facebook, Hi5, etc..., etc.... I still get requests from my friends to join these networks but never felt like joining these networks. I feel its too much effort to open so many accounts in every network.. My friends say facebook is good.. and so is myspace.. but I never had interest in them.. only orkut is the social network which I use... here's my profile link from orkut.. Click Here.

Now regarding blogs.. when I first came to know about blogs... I thought as I don't have a lot of writing skills.. why bother... but opened an account any how.... well comes along with your gmail account so whats the harm.. first few days... full posting in the blog.. then in the middle... total stop.. then again I don't know what happened... seeing some blogs online.. I really felt I write much better... thus this blog... which is more frequent now a days..

Recently I also stated another blog.. its called "My Photo Blog." Well its not exactly my photos.. :) but it will also contain the pictures of places I have been too.. ... ;)..... its just a fun blog.. with more funny pictures I find online.. or pictures that come to me in emails.. Click Here... Viewer Discretion is Advised.. lol :P

So one day I was watching news and on Larry King saw that Aston Kutcher crossed a million followers on twitter..I was amazed.. WTF is twitter?? So went to twitter website... tried to figure out what twitter is.. 140 characters is too less I thought.... and finally I have a twitter account too.. To follow me just Click Here... Twittering if fun.. just login when you want and just type whats going on.. its just that simple.. Although I have just 10 followers right now, Hopefully I will have a million followers one day... lol....

I don't know how many of above I can accomplish.. Lets see.... ;)

In the end I wish myself a very very Happy Birthday!!!

Lack of Knowledge!!!

Hi,
Lot of misunderstandings arise due to lack of proper knowledge and lack of communication. The other person tend to tell something and we understand something else if we are not sure what the person is talking about and vise-versa. If we are telling something to someone and they have no idea about what we are telling it may be confusing and may lead to misunderstanding. I came across a very very funny story and wanted to share.. Have fun...

In the days when you couldn't count on a public toilet facility, an English woman was planning a trip to Africa. She was registered to stay in a small guest house owned by the local schoolmaster. She was concerned as to whether the guest house contained a WC. In England, a bathroom is commonly called a WC which stands for "Water Closet". She wrote to the schoolmaster inquiring of the facilities about the WC.

The school master, not fluent in English, asked the local priest if he knew the meaning of WC. Together they pondered possible meanings of the letters and concluded that the lady wanted to know if there was a "Wayside Chapel" near the house . . . a bathroom never entered their minds.

So the schoolmaster wrote the following reply:

Dear Madam,
I take great pleasure in informing you that the WC is located 9 miles from the house. It is located in the middle of a grove of pine trees, surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and is open on Sundays and Thursdays. As there are many people expected in the summer months, I suggest you arrive early. There is, however, plenty of standing room. This is an unfortunate situation especially if you are in the habit of going regularly.

It may be of some interest to you that my daughter was married in the WC as it was there that she met her husband. It was a wonderful event. There were 10 people in every seat. It was wonderful to see the expressions on their faces. We can take photos in different angle. My wife, sadly, has been ill and unable to go recently. It has been almost a year since she went last, which pains her greatly.

You will be pleased to know that many people bring their lunch and make a day of it. Others prefer to wait till the last minute and arrive just in time. I would recommend your ladyship plan to go on a Thursday as there is an organ accompaniment. The acoustics are excellent and even the most delicate sounds can be heard everywhere.

The newest addition is a bell which rings every time a person enters. We are holding a bazaar to provide plush seats for all since many feel it is long needed. I look forward to escorting you there myself and seating you in a place where you can be seen by all.

With deepest regards,
The Schoolmaster.

The Woman fainted reading the reply........and she never visited Africa.

So if the English Woman had written clearly what a WC means the schoolmaster had replied in a different way and if the schoolmaster had a knowledge of what WC means there would been a proper reply and we would not been laughing so badly as we are right now... :P
