Its official now.
Mothers-in-law can safely kick their daughters-in-law.
Whats more, they can threaten and and recycle their used clothes too.

Look at it this way-
If the daughter-in-law's mother had kicked her when she was at her home and given her old clothes of her sister, would she have complained?
So why does she complain now?
Afterall if her mother had kicked her properly then, she would not have to be repaired now.
So any way you look at it - "Its Saas Andher Bahu Baahar" (similar sounding to Baba Ramdev's Pranayam?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Allegations that appellant No 2 (mother-in-law) kicked the respondent (daughter-in-law) with her leg and told her that her mother is a liar may make out some other offences but not the one punishable under Section 498A. "
"Similarly her allegations that the appellant No 2 poisoned the ears of her son against the respondent; she gave two used lady suits of her daughter to the complainant (daughter-in-law) and has been giving perpetual sermons to the complainant could not be said to be offences punishable under Section 498 A", it said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is something in it for the sons too. Now they need not fret over their ears getting poisoned from either side.
And if his mother can kick her, why not he too enjoy doing his bit.

STRINGS OF SAFETY
In these uncertain times of road safety, using religious festivals in this fashion to enhance safety for the young world is most welcome.
The people who thought this out, need to be given a good round of applause.
And unlike the subterfuge of mixing business with religion, this was all about infusing more logic and spirituality in to religion.

BIHAR FEELS THREATENED
It seems Maharashtra is ahead of Bihar in the number of crimes committed (..errr atleast reported) So the link below suggests
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/news/city/mumbai/State-ahead-of-Bihar-in-crimes/articleshow/4854034.cms
A detailed list of other crimes (in 2008), not seen in the link but shown in the paper based version of the news paper, goes like this :
Dacoities; Robberies; Burglaries; Thefts
1085; 3031; 16004; 52860 for Maharashtra
640; 1536; 3343; 14143 for Bihar
Thats awesome figures for Maharashtra. Bihar may look to out gun the Marathi Manoos next time around.
But what perplexes me is this - How to distinguish between burglary, theft, dacoity and robbery?
Each obviously looks to be a different profession.
Looking at the figures we may safely assume that while theft is a mass oriented profession with lower skill requirements, Dacoity is a class phenomenon with higher specialisation.
Also that the dacoits may have to ensure a basic minimum number of personnel and a threshold sum , otherwise they face the ignominy of being called thieves.
I pity the policemen who have to not only find the criminals but also do the exact required classification.

Are These Laws For Real ?
Sunshine.co.uk, an online travel agent, has launched a guide that warns travellers about the dos and don'ts in many foreign cities.
The travel advisory goes like this :
http://in.news.yahoo.com/139/20090730/385/ten-new-guide-tells-holidaymakers-about.html
Are these for real?
Look at point no.6
(6. In Florida, any unmarried woman who parachutes on a Sunday could be jailed. Singing while wearing a swimming costume is also prohibited.)
Whats that? Are they tring to protect- the Unmarried women, Parachute or Sunday?
Point no. 8
(8. In Hong Kong the wife of a husband who commits adultery is legally entitled to kill the mistress in any manner desired, and the husband with just her bare hands.)
Thats called killing two birds with the same stone. Mistress eliminated by Mrs. Mrs eliminated, by Mr in self defence, while trying to kill her husband. Thats called a 360 degree legal protection for the Mr.
(4. In Thailand, it is illegal for anyone to leave a building without wearing their pants.)
what is the average Thai ? A Perennial pant hater?

To Be Frisked Or Not To Be Frisked?
I do not wish to pass any moral judgement on the issue of Our Ex-President Abdul kalam being frisked by the Continental Airlines.
The man himself seemed to be least bothered about it, unlike Praful Patel (Union Aviation Minister) who appeared to be fuming.
But have a look at some of the 'frisking related episodes' that have happened.
1) In November 2007, Union defence minister A.K. Antony informed the Rajya Sabha that the civil aviation ministry had turned down his ministry’s request to exempt the three service chiefs from being frisked at Indian airports.
Subsequently, after the furore and heated debate, the service chiefs were excluded from being frisked.
2) Robert Vadra is excluded from being frisked when accompanying his wife or mother-in-law, both of whom obviously are not in the list.
3) George Fernandes was reportedly asked to take off his shoes and socks at a US airport. He did feel the insult.
4) Somnath Chatterjee once cancelled his trip to Australia when officials insisted on making a physical search. He probably took it as the exploitation of a 'poor communist' by the 'capitalists' and since "Inquilabs" dont work at the emigration counter he might have decided to return.
In the 1980s, the list of those exempted from being frisked at Indian airports was limited to the President, Prime minister, Chief justice of the Supreme Court, Lok Sabha speaker and State Governors.
Today,the list also includes the three Service Chiefs, the Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, the Attorney General of India and all Bharat Ratnas, Ex-Presidents and Ex-Prime ministers.
The rest like Robert Vadra et al are more likely to be the unoffical " green card holders".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The former US vice-president Al Gore was once stopped for extra screening at an American airport (by then he had completed his term and had become a private citizen) He said he was “more than happy to do his part for airport security" .
The people there would probably have pushed him in to the cubicle for a thorough search and later patted him on the soulder saying "Hey Gore, man you did a good job there".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is that irks (Abdul Kalam is not that type I guess) the VVIPs on being frisked?
Is it that they get the feeling that they are being doubted as a terrorist, or that they cannot be believed?
Or is it that they have hugely bloated egos and hence see themselves above the laws of the land?

The Face Book Story....
Those facebook buffs need to go through this link too :-
http://www.doublex.com/section/work/appallingly-sexist-origins-facebook
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Facebook began in 2003 with two Harvard students: the now-famous programmer Zuckerberg, 25, and his classmate Eduardo Saverin, 26, who bankrolled the original operation and is no longer affiliated with the company. Both, according to the book, were self-proclaimed nerds who couldn’t get a date to save their life. The connection between not getting any and inventing Facebook would seem preposterous, if Mezrich weren’t so consistent in portraying Facebook’s founders as sexually frustrated. He measures each step of Facebook’s success in sexual currency.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is written there may or may not be true. But what needs to be undertood is :-
1) All good things may not have been started with a holy attitude.
2) Even nerds are inetrested in girls. None escapes them.
3) At the bottom of every pyramid is a female. She decides if this Pyramid is to be felled or to inspire someone else to make another pyramid - in her honour that is.

A Heart Burn - Hollywood Style
--> Siena Miller suffered cleavage burn while filming new movie-->
Mon, Jul 20 09:47 PM
London, July 20 (IANS)
Hollywood actress Sienna Miller has revealed she burnt her cleavage while filming her new movie 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra'.
The actress who plays femme fatale The Baroness in the movie suffered the accident after getting too near to a controlled explosion, reports contactmusic.com.
'Luckily, it wasn't my breasts, it was the bit in-between. It got a bit burnt when an explosion got a bit close,' she said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Even the fire seems to be picky and choosy on what to burn.
On second thoughts I felt this could be a promotional stunt too - "Hey, its simple. If cleavage gets burned then, surely, there is ample of that in the movie." (Other wise why the hell should that alone get burned leaving everything else intact?)
If this stunt is not enough, then I guess, they will keep burning other things as well.
