"Women's banks will be a boon in areas where caste, class and gender create a power-based intimidation" – Ajit Ranade in Mumbai Mirror 2/3/13
(Me: In a tweet yesterday, a worthy poet turned journalist turned columnist lampooned the government's decision, as contained in the budget speech, to launch exclusive women's banks. One always finds that Indian journalists are all snobs – the more hotshot the person is, the worse his snobbishness – who mistake their ability to peddle misinformation and dysinformation for know-all expertise..)

Astrologer tries selling his daughters for Rs.10 lakh
On Friday, the Kerala government ordered a probe into an allegation made against an astrologer cum temple priest for trying to sell off his two minor daughters for Rs.10 lakh.
(Me: LOL – it's a tragic-comic ironical event: (2) an astrologer himself couldn't foresee his own future and (2) worse, he is a temple priest, too, who couldn't get his own wishes fulfilled by his Gods and Goddesses who he tries to propitiate on behalf of thousands of devotees!)

Pun Fun…2 – old, but still gold…
It was two o'clock in the morning, and a husband and wife were asleep, when suddenly the phone rang.
The husband picked up the phone and said, "Hello?... How the heck do I know? What am I, the weatherman?"… and slammed the phone down.
The wife rolled over and asked, "Who was that?"
Said the husband, "I don't know. Some guy who wanted to know if the coast was clear."
