Letter To Bill Gates…
May 9, 2007
I got this funny letter as a forward and thought I would publish it here… I seriously dont know why these Sardarjis are made fun of like this, but this one is quite funny…
Dear Mr Bill Gates,
This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab. We have bought a computer
for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your
notice.
1. After connecting to internet we planned to open an e-mail account and whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only ****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we type appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware vendor Santa Singh and he said that there is no problem in keyboard. Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is.
2. There is a button “start” but there is no “stop” button. We request you to check this.
3. A small doubt, is there any ‘re-scooter’ available in the system? I find only ‘re-cycle’, but I own a scooter at home.
4. There is ‘Find’ button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ‘find’, but we were not able to trace. Is it a bug?
5. My child learnt ‘Microsoft word’ now he wants to learn ‘Microsoft sentence’, so when you will provide that?
6. I brought computer, CPU, mouse and keypad, lekhin there is only one icon with ‘My Computer’, remaining ka kya huwa?
7. Aur ye to kamal hai, windows says ‘My Pictures’ lekhin there is not even single photo of mine, So when you will keep my photo in that?
9. There is ‘MICROSOFT OFFICE’, what about ‘MICROSOFT HOME’? I use the PC at home only.

When you feel bored… What should you do?
March 22, 2007
Hi,
When you feel bored, here are some things you can do..
> THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
1. Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show:
Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes
See a variety of blobs, stars and flashes. Try to make out shapes and see if your subconscious is trying to send you a message.
2. See how long you can hold a note:
Amusement Potential: 4-20 minutes
Not that much fun, but it sure passes the time. Play with a friend, or try to beat your own personal best. Inhale deeply and then try and make a noise for as long as you can. Earn extra points for making your partner laugh or ending on an amusing note.
3. Try to not think about penguins:
Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes
This is especially hard, because by trying too much, you remember what you are trying to avoid thinking of. If you try too little, you end up thinking about penguins anyway.
4. Use your secret mind power:
Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes
Pick a passer by and try to use your mind power to command them to do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true, so you can convince yourself that you really have super human powers and waste even more time trying them out
.
5. Pretend you’re a robot:
Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes
Walk down the street with mechanical movements, adding ‘zzzzzt’ sounds with each motion. Pretending to have a motor broken in, say, your left hand, can add at least 30 seconds more entertainment. Though of course if you care about what the others passing by, will think of you, better avoid this
.
6. Scratch yourself:
Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes
Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn’t that feel pretty good?
7. Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning:
Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes
Pick a random word out of a magazine and say it aloud to yourself until it becomes a meaningless set of noises.
8. Hurt yourself:
Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes
What is pain? Why is it unpleasant? There’s nothing physical about it – it’s all in your mind. Plus, after pinching yourself for a while, boredom will seem nice next to being in pain.
9. Try to swallow your tongue:
Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes
There’s not much to say about this one. It is possible, but really stupid.
10. Pretend to be a car:
Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes
Make appropriate revving noises in your head as you walk along and add a racing commentary as you pass strangers in the street. Use blinking eyes as indicators for extra authenticity.
11. Get yourself as nauseated as possible:
Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes
Best achieved by looking straight up and spinning around. Try to be so dizzy you can’t even stand up. This is also entertaining due to the “makes boredom seem a lot better” effect.
12. Make a low buzzing noise:
Amusement Potential: 15-30 minutes
Hours of fun in libraries (and in boring classes)! Keeping a totally straight face and looking nonchalant, make a low pitch humming/buzzing noise and see who reacts.
13. If none of the above are good enough, do what i am doing right now, write a stupid post and bore others as much as you can
.

Make three correct guesses consecutively and you will establish yourself as an expert.
When you don’t know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
Always tell her she is beautiful, especially if she is not.
The man who can smile when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.
When you don’t know what you are doing, do it NEATLY.

MARRIAGE
March 13, 2007
I recently read that love is entirely a matter of
chemistry. That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste.
- David Bissonette
When a man steals your wife, there is no better
revenge than to let him keep her.
- Sacha Guitry
By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll be
happy. If you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.
– Socrates
A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking; the
husband gives and the wife takes.
Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us
from achieving them.
– Dumas
The great question… which I have not been able to
answer… is, “What does a woman want?
– Freud
I had some words with my wife, and she had some
paragraphs with me.
“Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We
take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight,
dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.”
- Henny Youngman
“I don’t worry about terrorism. I was married for two
years.”
- Sam Kinison
“There’s a way of transferring funds that is even
faster than electronic banking. It’s called marriage.”

“I’ve had bad luck with both my wives. The first one
left me and the second one didn’t.”
- Patrick Murray
It’s true that all men are born free and equal,
but some of them get married!
Two secrets to keep your marriage brimming
1. Whenever you’re wrong, admit it,
2. Whenever you’re right, shut up.
– Nash
You know what I did before I married? Anything I wanted to.
– Henny Youngman

to interrupt her-

Proof?!
March 9, 2007
Harward maths proof of the most important theorem of life!
1. To find a woman, you need time and money,therefore,
woman = time x money.
2. “Time is Money”, so,
time = money
3. Which implies,
woman = money x money
therefore woman = (money)^2
4. “Money is the root of all problems”, so,
money = sqrt(problems)
5. Therefore,
woman = (sqrt(problems))^2
woman = problems!
Hmmm, i dunno, but i believe its sort of true!
