Human bones rain on homes after landslide at 'Dracula' churchyard…
The legend of Dracula has returned to haunt a seaside town… after a cascade of human bones. And residents of Whitby, North Yorkshire – famously featured in Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel about the blood-thirsty count – are not facing a real-life horror story. A landslide has opened up graves in an ancient cliff-top churchyard, causing remains to slither down on their homes. Heavy rain has left locals in the shadow of the 1110 AD church living in fear. The Rev David Smith, canon of St Mary's church, said the cemetery hadn't been used since 1865.

Tweet of the day: "Poor Mr Sushil Shinde. In the power ministry he did not feel powerful. In the home ministry he is not at home"

Office Manager on the phone: "I had to quit drinking coffee. It keeps me awake during staff meetings!"

If lawyers are disbarred and clergy men defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed and dry cleaners depressed?
Laundry workers could decrease, eventually becoming depressed and depleted! Even more bedmakers will be debunked, baseball players will be debased, landscapers will be deflowered, bulldozer operators will be degraded, software engineers will be detested, and even musical composers will eventually decompose!
(Me: WOW! Am left speechless, for once!)

News of the day…
Delhi braveheart's story leads to spurt in organ donations.
New Delhi: The Junejas of Geeta Colony in east Delhi tragically lost their son, Anmol, 21, in a road accident early last month. But their brave decisions to donate all his organs as the body lay in brain-dead state – an act that gave the gift of life to 30 people – has now inspired many others to follow the example.
AIIMS has reported a three-fold increase in the number of such donations in the month after Anmol's story first appeared.
(Me: The news is worth sharing by all my friends… When a person is brain-dead, h/she can never be revived and that's the time to donate the person's organs)

Depressing news…
Over 70% - or 840 million people in absolute terms - of Indians face malaria risk, according to the World Malaria Report 2011.
(Me: The single most culprit is our over, over, over-population leading to abysmally poor hygiene and sanitation providing the right conditions for mosquitoes to breed and multiply, and all we Indians including our government does is, beating about the bush)
