  • which is better ? "personal loan" or "loan against property" ? or other option available with less interest?

    Looking for a loan from a Bank. totally in confusion between "personal loan" and the "loan against property"..

    the main points I am disturbed with are : "interest rates" and the "pre-payment charges"....as I may wind up the loan before the tenure !

  • Hi everybody, dont you think that some "repeat questions" have become so common and regular ?

    Dont you think that some questions especially with regard to "length of the pe*** and with regard to "weight reduction" are getting repeated very frequently nowadays ?

    (inspite of the regulation that similar questions are "not" to be repeated ?

    your feelings would be appreciated !

  • miscommunication ?

    Miscommunication

    A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, 'What are the grounds for your divorce?'

    She replied, 'About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by.'

    'No,' he said, 'I mean what is the foundation of this case?'

    'It is made of concrete, brick and mortar,' she responded.

    'I mean,' he continued, 'What are your relations like?'

    'I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents.'

    He said, 'Do you have a real grudge?'

    'No,' she replied, 'We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one.'

    'Please,' he tried again, 'is there any infidelity in your marriage?'

    'Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes.'

    'Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?'

    'Yes,' she responded, 'about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do.'

    Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, 'Lady, why do you want a divorce?'

    'Oh, I don't want a divorce,' she replied. 'I've never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He said he can't communicate with me!!'

  • Resevation in India...? Readers opinions are welcome !?

    Ant & Grasshopper*

    (OLD VERSION....)

    The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.

    The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.

    Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold. *

    (MODERN VERSION...)

    The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.

    The Grasshopper thinks the Ant ' s a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.

    Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

    *NDTV, BBC, CNN * show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

    The World stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper allowed suffering so? *

    Arundhati Roy ** *stages a demonstration in front of the Ant ' s house . *

    Medha Patkar** *goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.*

    Amnesty International and Koffi Annan *criticizes the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

    The *Internet* is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) . *

    Opposition MPs *stage a walkout. Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

    CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers. *

    Lalu Prasad *allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the ' Grasshopper Rath ' .

    Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the ' *Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act ' *[POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter.*

    Arjun Singh *makes '*Special Reservation *' for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions & in Government Services.

    The Ant; fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes; its home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.

    Arundhati Roy calls it ' *A Triumph of Justice* ' .

    Lalu calls it '*Socialistic Justice *' .

    CPM calls it the ' *Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden *'

    Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the *UN General Assembly*. *

    Many years later*

    The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in *Silicon Valley* .

    100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India ...

    because of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the Grasshoppers, *India is still a developing country!!!*

  • guardian angel ? really ?

    A Man was walking down a street when he heard a voice from behind, 'If

    you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill

    you.'

    The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him. The man was

    astonished.

    He went on, and after a while he was going to cross the road. Once

    again the voice shouted, 'Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a

    car will run over you, and you will die.' The man did as he was

    instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him.

    The man asked. 'Who are you?'

    'I am your guardian angel,' the voice answered.

    'Oh, yeah?' the man asked 'And where the hell were you when I got

    married?'
