THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"In a state where the ruler lives like a common man, the citizens live like kings do. And in the state where the ruler lives like a king, the citizens live like beggars do . "- KAUTILYA
News of the day…
Opposition demands a special session of Parliament to discuss violence against women
(For more sound and fury to add fuel to Indians' notoriety for being BIG talkers, seldom doers?)
Khushwant Singh in HT: "Castrate rapists, so they become incapable of repeating their crime again"
(Me: All right-thinking people, give him a thumbsup!)
Kiran Bedi: "Collective anger of people should now demand social/external audit of policing and police station functioning"
(Me: eminently advisable: if there can be Chartered Accountants and Cost Accountants for statutory/mandatory audit of firms to check malpractices/financial skullduggery by owners/promoters, or a CAG to keep a hawk's eye on government profligacy, why not similar ones of the law-enforcement agencies, too)
New year guffaws…
A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop high, the zoo officials put up a ten-foot fence. He was out the next morning, just roaming around the zoo. A twenty-foot fence was put up. Again he got out. When the fence was forty feet high, a camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo. "How high do you think they'll go?"
The kangaroo said, "About a thousand feet, unless somebody locks the gate at night!"

Son's courtesy towards parents…
Son saw his father looking at Viagra tables with curiosity. "Father, it is the best aphrodisiac of the present times, and you can try one, a gift from us, but make the most of it, as each costs ten dollars," he said.
Next morning, father left 110 dollars at b/fast table with a note. Thank you, son, find ten dollars from me and 100 dollars from your mother.
