[www.keralites.net] Khatte-mitten khabhrain from around the world or 7/5/13

 

 
Father: Yeah, that is no problem.
 
Boy: Good. Change it to twenty rupees.

Weird world…
 
90-year-old does backflip; goes viral.
 
A video of a 90-year-old woman doing a double backflip has gone viral. The lady, June, posted the stunt on a video-sharing file nearly two years ago. But, for some strange reason, this video has gained sudden popularity with the netizsens and it boasts of over 700,000 hits.

Tongue very much in cheeks…
 
Let's have some new clichés.
 
**
 
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.

Line Maro
 
Is your name 'swiffer'? 'Coz you just swept me off my feet.
 
(Me: No, u were swept off ur feet cos. u r a lightweight..)

From the world of science…
 
Device that can detect TB in just three ours.
 
A new microfluidic device cuts down detection time for TB and other important bacterial infections from two weeks to a couple of hours, with no false positives.
 
A handheld diagnostic device that Massachussets General Hospital investigators first developed to diagnose cancer has been adapted to rapidly diagnose TB and other important infectious bacteria.

Nuts as important as milk for kid's bone..
 
Lots of nutrients are key or children to have healthy bones. One of these is magnesium – found in nuts esp. almonds..
**
 
Two cups of coffee a day can lower the risk of colon cancer by 25%.

News from the city…
 
Three young men drowned in Aksa beach.
 
(Me: Aksa near the suburb of Malad in Mumbai is a known treacherous beach and news of people getting drowned there has become boringly monotonous. People go for swims in the beach willfully disregarding safety precautions and then the affected families – and the public too join them – start strongly complaining against the local administration. And true to our weak work 'culture', two of the three lifeguards were missing at the beach when the tragedy occurred.
 
Very similar are the other members of public who invest in known fly-by-night chit funds or ponzi schemes and who complain about lack of stringent safety regulations in place.
 
No amount of government regulations will help if people are hellbent on doing their own thing)

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" truly said, Albert Einstein

Deft definition…
 
Schadenfreude: a malicious satisfaction in the misfortunes of others.

"An abstract noun," the teacher said, is something you can think of, but can't touch. Can you give me an example?"
 
"Sure," a boy replied. "My father's new car."
