A student visited his old school, 20 years after his graduation, and met an old economics professor of his. The professor happened to be grading exam papers, and the student was surprised to notice that the questions were exactly the same as they were two decades ago. He asked the professor about the possibility of the leakage of the exam paper such that the students would have known the questions in advance.
The professor smiled wryly and answered, "Don't worry about that, my dear boy. I've changed the answers every year".
(Me: You may take this as humour at your own peril!)

Tweet of the day: "@fakingnews BREAKING" Another Bansal nephew arrested trying to sell Railway Minister's post"
 
(Me: This is a fake news please. Be that as it may say, with corruption in the country having reached the stratosphere, looks ANYONE could even land the PM's gaddi if he is prepared to pay the right price...)

News of the day…

New Delhi: CAG report commands respect and cannot be brushed aside but it cannot be the final word on any issue, the apex court said on Thursday while nothing that the auditor's findings cannot be gospel truth as it is subject to scrutiny by Parliament.
 
The court's remarks assumes significance in the wake of the recent controversy over CAG's figure of the estimated loss to public exchequer due to coal blocks and 2G spectrum allocation scams.
 
(News courtesy: TOI, Mumbai edition, 10/5/13).
 
(Me: There is a tendency among our vocal sections of intelligentsia and media pundits to uncritically wah-wah everything that the CAG says. The grave problem in India, our 'pundits' will accept even the Supreme Court's verdict with grace, only if it is in line with their quixotic beliefs and thinking..)

At a dinner party, the guest of honour was about to deliver his speech when his wife, sitting at the other end of the table, sent him a piece of paper with the word "KISS' scribbled on it.
 
A guest seated next to the speaker said, "So your wife has sent you a kiss for good luck. She must love you very much."
 
The speaker replied, "You don't know my wife. The letters stand for 'Keep it short, Stupid'."
