JOKES ON THE START OF THE NEW YEAR
In some remote village of India, one masterji is teaching
the Mahabharat katha to class 6 students.
He is at the 'krishnajanma' part of it.
Masterji: "Kansa heard the Akashwani that his sister's
8th child is going to kill him. Kansa furious then ordered
to put Vasudev and Devki behind the bars. When the first son is
born, Kansa kills him by poisoning... second child is born and
Kansa throws him off the mountain peak...third child is born..."
Now Ramu, who is smartest of the lot, puts up his hand.
Masterji, I have a doubt (sounding nervous and confused)
Masterji: "Ramu bete, whole India does not have
doubt in mahabharata then how come you have one?"
Ramu : Masterji, if Kansa knew that Devaki's 8th
child was going to kill him, WHY THE HELL DID HE
PUT VASUDEV AND DEVAKI IN THE SAME CELL ?
Masterji fainted.........................
The Indian & The Porsche
An Indian parks his brand new Porsche in front of the office
to show it off to his colleagues.
As he's getting out of the car, a truck comes speeding along
too close to the kerb and takes off the door before speeding off.
More than a little distraught, the Indian grabs his mobile and
calls the police.
Five minutes later, the police arrive. Before the policeman has
a chance to ask any questions, the Indian starts screaming hysterically:
"My Porsche, my beautiful black Porsche is ruined. No matter how long
at the panel beaters it'll simply never be the same again!"
After the Indian finally finishes his rant, the policeman shakes his
head in disgust: "I can't believe how materialistic you bloody Indians
are," he says. "You lot are so focused on your possessions that you
don't notice anything else in your life."
"How can you say such a thing at a time like this?", snaps the Indian.
The policeman replies, "Didn't you realise that your right arm was torn
off when the truck hit you."
The Indian looks down in absolute horror "F***ING HELL!!!!!!"
he screams........ "Where's my Rolex ????..."

Based on a True Story from one of the software firms in Silicon Valley:
contributed by Rupali Patel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice at a Software firm in Silicon Valley - from Human Resources Director
To all Hindi-speaking staff
It has been brought to our attention by several officials visiting
our corporate headquarters that offensive language is commonly used by
our Hindi-speaking staff. Such behavior, in addition to violating our
policy,is highly unprofessional and offensive to both visitors and
colleagues.
Staff will IMMEDIATELY adhere to the following rules:
Words like "CHUTIYA,GANDU" and other such expressions will not be used for
emphasis, no matter how heated the discussion. You will not say "CHUTIYE
AKKAL NAHI HAI KYA TEREKO" when someone makes a mistake, or "MAA CHUDI
BEHENCHOD" when a major mistake has been made. All forms derived from the
verb "CHOD"are inappropriate in our environment.
No project manager, section head or administrator, under any
circumstances, will be referred to as"GADHA", or "CHUTIYA". Lack of
determination will not be referred to "KAAMCHOR SALA",and neither will
persons who lack initiative be referred to as "AALSI BHOSADIKAA", or
"MADARCHOD".
Unusual or creative ideas from your superiors are not to be referred to
"FUCK ALL". Do not say "GAND FADU" if a person is persistent, or if a task
is heavy to accomplish. In a similar way, do not use "GAND FATI NA", if a
colleague is going through a difficult situation.
Furthermore, you must not say "BHOSADE MEIN GAYA" when matters become
complicated. When asking someone to leave you alone, you must not say
"FUCK OFF". Do not ever substitute 'May I help you?' with "BOL TERI KAISE
GAND MARUU"?
When things get tough, an acceptable expression such as 'We are going
through a difficult time' should be used, rather than "MAA CHUDI PADI HAI"
or "GOTI MUH MEIN HAI" No salary increase shall be ever referred to as
"KHAIRAAT BAATI HAI".
Under no circumstances should you call our elderly corporate partners
"BADHIR LAVDA". Last, but not least, after reading this memo please do not
say "YE KAGAJ GAND PONCHNE KE LAAYAK BHI NAHI HAI". Just keep it clean and
dispose off it properly. We hope you will keep these directions in mind.
Sincerely,
Human Resources Director

* What do they call French Toilet in Bihar ?
La loo

security guard told Laloo "WAIT SIR" for which Laloo replied "65Kgs"
and moved on...
* Once Laloo wanted to know the time difference between Bihar and Las
Vegas. So he called up the Tourist department and asked them "Ji could
you tell me the time difference between Patna and Las Begas...".
The man at the other end replies "One second sir..." and Laloo
immediately replies "thank you" and puts the phone down.
* Laloos family planning policy..
"Don't have more than two children in one year"
* At a bar in New York, the man to Laloo's left tells the bartender,

SINGLE." The bartender approaches Laloo and asks, "AND YOU, SIR?"
Laloo replies: "LALOO YADAV, MARRIED."

very surprised. "You Japanese are very inepicient," he stated "Give me
three days and I will turn Japan into Bihar"

How some Indian marriages start -- The awkward first phone call
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Scene: The Girl is a 23 year old investment banker working
in New York. The Boy is doing his residency in Boston and was
given her number by his mother, who is a friend of the Girl's
aunt's brother-in-law's cousin's uncle's wife in Chicago.
Monday night, 10 pm
Girl: Hello?
Boy: (Shit, she's home!) Umm, hi! Is this ---?
Girl: Speaking.
Boy: My name is ---. I don't know if you know who I am-
(God, what if she doesn't know who I am? I'll sound like
a complete idiot.) Hell, I already sound like a complete
idiot. I don't even know why I'm doing this!)
Girl: Oh, you live in Boston, right?
Boy: Yeah. (Ok, she was told about me, that's a fucking relief.
I wonder what she was told - "He's a resident, tall, and
fair, and he graduated from Ivy League school!" God, she
probably hates me already!)
Girl: Yeah, my mother mentioned you had my number.
(I can't believe he actually called!)
Boy: So, how are you? Oh yeah, that's real original, but what the
hell else I am supposed to say- Umm, hi, I don't know you,
but do you want to be wife?)
Girl: I'm fine. And you? (Ok, this is off to a great fucking start)
Boy: I'm good.(Ok, think, think!) So, I heard you're an investment
banker? (Oh, that's a real winner. Now I can be a bad
conversationalist and an idiot!)
Girl: Yes.
Boy: (Ok, she is not helping me at all!) Where do you work?
Girl: Merrill Lynch.
Boy: Hey, that's a great firm! (I sound like a complete moron.
I should just hang up except my mother would somehow find
out and kill me!)
Girl: Yeah, it's a nice place to work. (God, this guy sounds
like a complete loser)
Boy: So...(Stall ,stall!)
Girl: So you're doing your residency in cardiology?
(Like my mom didn't tell me that 500 times already!)
Boy: (Ok, I can handle this...) Yeah, I'm in my second year.
(Alright, now say something else, but what do I say? Do you
drink and have sex? Cause if you want to marry me, you can't
be one of those goody goody South Asian girls who think if
they kiss a guy they've practically gone all the way)
So, what do you like to do in your free time?
Girl: (Umm... get wasted...) Oh, you know, hang out with my friends,
go to movies.
Boy: Where do you like to hang out in NY?
Girl: (Shit, what am I supposed to say? This guy could be some
religious freak! I can't say bars - I'll say clubs, you can
go to clubs and not drink...) Oh, sometimes we go to the
movies, or there's a couple clubs that are good... (That
was good, I made it sound like I like clubs, but I'm not
really into them...)
Boy: (Ok, she goes to clubs, that's a good sign. If she was really
religious she wouldn't do that.) Yeah? I like to dance also.
Girl: (He likes to dance- that's a good sign. He can't be that
stiff!) So where do you hang out in Boston?
Boy: (Should I say it- alright, I'll say it, what the hell!)
Umm, the same, bars, clubs, stuff like that.
Girl: (He said bars! So he probably drinks. Good sign. I should
explore this further...) Are there any good bars in Boston?
Boy: Yeah, there are some nice ones, I mean, I'm not a huge drinker,
but I like having a good time. (Ok, that gives the impression
of someone who enjoys drinking but is not an alcoholic -
pretty good, if I do say so myself!)
Girl: (That sounds really positive. This guy sounds kind of cool.
But if he's so cool why is he calling me? Shouldn't he have
a girlfriend? Or not need to call random girls his mother
tells him about? God, what if he's completely ugly? Or has
never been kissed?)
Yeah, me too. Although I hope my parents never find out.
Boy: Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. (I wonder if she's butt)
Girl: (Ok, so he didn't freak out at the living a double life
reference- another good sign. I just wish I knew what he
looked like...) So...
Boy: (Or she could be really fat with a huge mustache. Well, there's
only one way to find out!) So, I know this sounds a little
crazy, but I'm visiting some friends in NYC next weekend and
I wonder if you'd want to get together for coffee sometime.
Girl: (Coffee. That's totally safe. If he's totally nasty I can have
a quick espresso and run like hell!) Yeah, that sounds great.
Boy: (Alright that went pretty well. Coffee's pretty harmless. And
who knows, maybe she'll be cool. Now I have to get the hell
out of this conversation...)
So I have your e-mail, should I just e-mail you soon and
we can figure it out?
Girl: (E-mail is sooo much better than the phone. Thank God for
e-mail!) Yeah, just e-mail, I check it all the time at
work, so- (God, this is getting painful)
Boy: Alright, I'll e-mail you soon.(Meaning in two days cause
I don't want to look too desperate, but at the same time
I don't want to look like I'm trying not to look too desperate)
Girl: Cool. Well, I'm glad you called. (I think...)
Boy: Me too. Well, I'll see you soon.(Please be hot, please be hot!)
Girl: Alright. Bye. (I can't believe he called! Too late to back out
now. Besides, maybe he's cool. He didn't sound so bad on
the phone. I really hope he's not a virgin.)
Boy: Bye.(I did it! I am the man. I think she wants me. Yeah, she
definitely wants me..... I hope she has nice breasts.....)

A judge irritated by a lawyer's behaviour, admonished him,
"You are crossing the limits."
"Kaun Saala aisa kehta hai," roared the lawyer.
"How dare you call me saala ? I'll have you charged for
'contempt of court'," said the judge angrily.
"My lord misunderstood me," replied the lawyer coolly, "I do not

A sardar PHd in Atomic Physics goes for an Interview all the way from
Chandigarh to Delhi for the post of a Prof. Once he reaches there he
is told that the vacancy is already filled and that he can go back.
The Sardar insists that he be interviewed. After much ado,
the interviewer agrees to interview the Sardar and says,
"I will ask you 2 questions and both the questions have 2 parts. If you
answer majority, i.e., 3 out of the 4 questions, I will employ you
even at the cost of the selected candidate."
The sardar agrees. The Interview goes like this:
Interviewer (IVR) : "Koo Chug Chug... Kya hai?"
Perplexed Sardar(PS) : "Saab yeh to Train hai"
IVR: "Excellent. Woh Shatabdi tha ki Rajdhani?"
Zapped PS : "Yeh Kaise batha sakthe hain??"
IVR : "Please Sardarji, I am the one to ask questions. Give answers only."
PS : "O.K. Aapne badi jaldi Jaldi Chug Chug bole, tho it must be Shatabdi."
IVR : "Nahi Sardarji, woh Rajdani tha. Koi baath nahin, do our sawaal hain.
Aap theek se jawab denge tho naukri mil jayegee."
IVR (showing his hand like an aeroplane taking off) :
"Yeh kya hai: ZZZzzzzzz00000mmmm."
PS : Yeh tho aerplane hain saab.
IVR : "Excellent sardarji! Yeh last sawaal ka jawab dedenge tho Naukri aapki hi hai.
Woh Indian Airlines tha ki Jet Aiways??"
PS : "Saab aap ajeeb sa sawwal phoochthe ho. Anyway Aap ne badi Uncha haath dikaye they,
isliye, woh Indian Airline Hogi?"
IVR : "Sorry sardarji, woh Jet Tha. Koi Baath Nahin. Aap ne do saie jawaab diye.
Ek aur saie jawaab diye hote tho mein aap ko eh naukri de detha."
An Obviously bugged sardarji said : "Koi baath nahin saab, mein bhi aap se do sawaal
phoochna chahunga. Aap jawab dedenge tho samjunga ki aap ne teek interview liya."
A rather happy IVR said : "Teek hai sardarji poocho."
PS (after making a oval shape with his index and middlfinger and showing it to IVR): "Yeh Kya hai?"
A zapped IVR : "Yeh kya kar rahe ho sardarji?"
PS : "Ab, mein sawaal phoochrahahun. Aap jawwab deejiye."
IVR : "Yeh to Chooth Hein."
PS : "Yeh aapki MAA ki ya Behan Ki?"

Santa was bragging to his boss one day, "You know,
I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone,
anyone, and I know them."
Tired of his boasting, his boss called him bluff,
"OK, Santa how about Tom Cruise?" "Sure, yes, Tom
and I are old friends, and I can prove it."
So Santa and boss fly out to Hollywood and knock
on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise,
shouts, "Santa! Great to see you! You and your
friend come right in and join me for lunch!"
Although impressed, Santa's boss is still
skeptical.After they leave Cruise's house, he tells
Santa that he thinks his knowing Cruise was just lucky.
"No, no, just name anyone else," Santa says.
"President Bush," his boss quickly retorts.
"Yes, I know him, let's fly out to Washington."
And off they go. At the White House, George W.
spots Santa on the tour and motions him and his boss
over, saying, "Santa, what a surprise, I was just on my
way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in
and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up."
Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still
not totally convinced. After they leave the White
house grounds, he expresses his doubts to Santa, who
again implores him to name anyone else.
"The Pope," his boss replies.
"Sure!" says Santa. "My folks are from Poland,
and I've known the Pope a long time."
So off they fly to Rome. Santa and his boss are
assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when
Santa says, "This will never work. I can't catch the
Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I
know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and
I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope."
And Santa disappears into the crowd headed toward
the Vatican. Sure enough, half an hour later Santa
emerges with the Pope on the balcony. By the time
Santa returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart
attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Working his way to his boss' side, Santa asks, "What
happened?" His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine
until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the
man next to me said, "Who's that on the balcony with
Santa Singh?"

This joke is copyrighted by the co-author and is printed with his permission
There was once a Indian and an Pakistani who lived next door to
each other. The Indian owned a hen and each morning would look in his
garden and pick up one of his hen's eggs for breakfast.
One day he looked into his garden and saw that the hen had laid
an egg in the Pakistani's garden. He was about to go next door when he saw
the Pakistani pick up the egg. The Indian ran up to the Pakistani and told
him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Pakistani
disagreed because the egg was laid on his property.
They argued for a while until finally the Indian said, "In my
family we normally solve disputes by the following actions: I kick you
in the balls and time how long it takes you to get back up, then you
kick me in the balls and time how long it takes for me to get up, who
ever gets up quicker wins the egg."
The Pakistani agreed to this and so the Indian found his heaviest
pair of boots and put them on, he took a few steps back, then ran toward
the Pakistani and kicked as hard as he could in the balls. The Pakistani
fell to the floor clutching his nuts howling in agony for 30 minutes.
Eventually the Pakistani stood up and said, "Now it's my turn to kick you."
The Indian said, "Keep the damn egg!"

This joke my be a little crude for some of you out there.
A Pakistani tourist after a long walk in one of very fancy clean streets
of Delhi found himself needing to urinate badly. After a long search he
could not find any place to you-know, and eventually couldn't control
himself and chose a silent corner of a clean street to release himself.
As soon as he had just started you-know-what, a Delhi police official
approached him, "Hey, What do you think you're doing here?"
Pakistani tourist: "Sorry I have to Pee"
Police : "No PP here okay ? Follow me......"
The Police officer took him to a beautiful garden nearby with lots of
grass, flowers and singing birds around........
Police: "PP here..... and have a nice day".
Pakistani tourist : "Oh Sir, ....... that's very nice of you, is
this Indian courtesy?"
Police: "No.......this is The Pakistani Embassy!"

the Mahabharat katha to class 6 students.
He is at the 'krishnajanma' part of it.
Masterji: "Kansa heard the Akashwani that his sister's
8th child is going to kill him. Kansa furious then ordered
to put Vasudev and Devki behind the bars. When the first son is
born, Kansa kills him by poisoning... second child is born and
Kansa throws him off the mountain peak...third child is born..."
Now Ramu, who is smartest of the lot, puts up his hand.
Masterji, I have a doubt (sounding nervous and confused)
Masterji: "Ramu bete, whole India does not have
doubt in mahabharata then how come you have one?"
Ramu : Masterji, if Kansa knew that Devaki's 8th
child was going to kill him, WHY THE HELL DID HE
PUT VASUDEV AND DEVAKI IN THE SAME CELL ?
Masterji fainted.........................
The Indian & The Porsche
An Indian parks his brand new Porsche in front of the office
to show it off to his colleagues.
As he's getting out of the car, a truck comes speeding along
too close to the kerb and takes off the door before speeding off.
More than a little distraught, the Indian grabs his mobile and
calls the police.
Five minutes later, the police arrive. Before the policeman has
a chance to ask any questions, the Indian starts screaming hysterically:
"My Porsche, my beautiful black Porsche is ruined. No matter how long
at the panel beaters it'll simply never be the same again!"
After the Indian finally finishes his rant, the policeman shakes his
head in disgust: "I can't believe how materialistic you bloody Indians
are," he says. "You lot are so focused on your possessions that you
don't notice anything else in your life."
"How can you say such a thing at a time like this?", snaps the Indian.
The policeman replies, "Didn't you realise that your right arm was torn
off when the truck hit you."
The Indian looks down in absolute horror "F***ING HELL!!!!!!"
he screams........ "Where's my Rolex ????..."

Based on a True Story from one of the software firms in Silicon Valley:
contributed by Rupali Patel
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice at a Software firm in Silicon Valley - from Human Resources Director
To all Hindi-speaking staff
It has been brought to our attention by several officials visiting
our corporate headquarters that offensive language is commonly used by
our Hindi-speaking staff. Such behavior, in addition to violating our
policy,is highly unprofessional and offensive to both visitors and
colleagues.
Staff will IMMEDIATELY adhere to the following rules:
Words like "CHUTIYA,GANDU" and other such expressions will not be used for
emphasis, no matter how heated the discussion. You will not say "CHUTIYE
AKKAL NAHI HAI KYA TEREKO" when someone makes a mistake, or "MAA CHUDI
BEHENCHOD" when a major mistake has been made. All forms derived from the
verb "CHOD"are inappropriate in our environment.
No project manager, section head or administrator, under any
circumstances, will be referred to as"GADHA", or "CHUTIYA". Lack of
determination will not be referred to "KAAMCHOR SALA",and neither will
persons who lack initiative be referred to as "AALSI BHOSADIKAA", or
"MADARCHOD".
Unusual or creative ideas from your superiors are not to be referred to
"FUCK ALL". Do not say "GAND FADU" if a person is persistent, or if a task
is heavy to accomplish. In a similar way, do not use "GAND FATI NA", if a
colleague is going through a difficult situation.
Furthermore, you must not say "BHOSADE MEIN GAYA" when matters become
complicated. When asking someone to leave you alone, you must not say
"FUCK OFF". Do not ever substitute 'May I help you?' with "BOL TERI KAISE
GAND MARUU"?
When things get tough, an acceptable expression such as 'We are going
through a difficult time' should be used, rather than "MAA CHUDI PADI HAI"
or "GOTI MUH MEIN HAI" No salary increase shall be ever referred to as
"KHAIRAAT BAATI HAI".
Under no circumstances should you call our elderly corporate partners
"BADHIR LAVDA". Last, but not least, after reading this memo please do not
say "YE KAGAJ GAND PONCHNE KE LAAYAK BHI NAHI HAI". Just keep it clean and
dispose off it properly. We hope you will keep these directions in mind.
Sincerely,
Human Resources Director

How some Indian marriages start -- The awkward first phone call
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Scene: The Girl is a 23 year old investment banker working
in New York. The Boy is doing his residency in Boston and was
given her number by his mother, who is a friend of the Girl's
aunt's brother-in-law's cousin's uncle's wife in Chicago.
Monday night, 10 pm
Girl: Hello?
Boy: (Shit, she's home!) Umm, hi! Is this ---?
Girl: Speaking.
Boy: My name is ---. I don't know if you know who I am-
(God, what if she doesn't know who I am? I'll sound like
a complete idiot.) Hell, I already sound like a complete
idiot. I don't even know why I'm doing this!)
Girl: Oh, you live in Boston, right?
Boy: Yeah. (Ok, she was told about me, that's a fucking relief.
I wonder what she was told - "He's a resident, tall, and
fair, and he graduated from Ivy League school!" God, she
probably hates me already!)
Girl: Yeah, my mother mentioned you had my number.
(I can't believe he actually called!)
Boy: So, how are you? Oh yeah, that's real original, but what the
hell else I am supposed to say- Umm, hi, I don't know you,
but do you want to be wife?)
Girl: I'm fine. And you? (Ok, this is off to a great fucking start)
Boy: I'm good.(Ok, think, think!) So, I heard you're an investment
banker? (Oh, that's a real winner. Now I can be a bad
conversationalist and an idiot!)
Girl: Yes.
Boy: (Ok, she is not helping me at all!) Where do you work?
Girl: Merrill Lynch.
Boy: Hey, that's a great firm! (I sound like a complete moron.
I should just hang up except my mother would somehow find
out and kill me!)
Girl: Yeah, it's a nice place to work. (God, this guy sounds
like a complete loser)
Boy: So...(Stall ,stall!)
Girl: So you're doing your residency in cardiology?
(Like my mom didn't tell me that 500 times already!)
Boy: (Ok, I can handle this...) Yeah, I'm in my second year.
(Alright, now say something else, but what do I say? Do you
drink and have sex? Cause if you want to marry me, you can't
be one of those goody goody South Asian girls who think if
they kiss a guy they've practically gone all the way)
So, what do you like to do in your free time?
Girl: (Umm... get wasted...) Oh, you know, hang out with my friends,
go to movies.
Boy: Where do you like to hang out in NY?
Girl: (Shit, what am I supposed to say? This guy could be some
religious freak! I can't say bars - I'll say clubs, you can
go to clubs and not drink...) Oh, sometimes we go to the
movies, or there's a couple clubs that are good... (That
was good, I made it sound like I like clubs, but I'm not
really into them...)
Boy: (Ok, she goes to clubs, that's a good sign. If she was really
religious she wouldn't do that.) Yeah? I like to dance also.
Girl: (He likes to dance- that's a good sign. He can't be that
stiff!) So where do you hang out in Boston?
Boy: (Should I say it- alright, I'll say it, what the hell!)
Umm, the same, bars, clubs, stuff like that.
Girl: (He said bars! So he probably drinks. Good sign. I should
explore this further...) Are there any good bars in Boston?
Boy: Yeah, there are some nice ones, I mean, I'm not a huge drinker,
but I like having a good time. (Ok, that gives the impression
of someone who enjoys drinking but is not an alcoholic -
pretty good, if I do say so myself!)
Girl: (That sounds really positive. This guy sounds kind of cool.
But if he's so cool why is he calling me? Shouldn't he have
a girlfriend? Or not need to call random girls his mother
tells him about? God, what if he's completely ugly? Or has
never been kissed?)
Yeah, me too. Although I hope my parents never find out.
Boy: Yeah. I know exactly what you mean. (I wonder if she's butt)
Girl: (Ok, so he didn't freak out at the living a double life
reference- another good sign. I just wish I knew what he
looked like...) So...
Boy: (Or she could be really fat with a huge mustache. Well, there's
only one way to find out!) So, I know this sounds a little
crazy, but I'm visiting some friends in NYC next weekend and
I wonder if you'd want to get together for coffee sometime.
Girl: (Coffee. That's totally safe. If he's totally nasty I can have
a quick espresso and run like hell!) Yeah, that sounds great.
Boy: (Alright that went pretty well. Coffee's pretty harmless. And
who knows, maybe she'll be cool. Now I have to get the hell
out of this conversation...)
So I have your e-mail, should I just e-mail you soon and
we can figure it out?
Girl: (E-mail is sooo much better than the phone. Thank God for
e-mail!) Yeah, just e-mail, I check it all the time at
work, so- (God, this is getting painful)
Boy: Alright, I'll e-mail you soon.(Meaning in two days cause
I don't want to look too desperate, but at the same time
I don't want to look like I'm trying not to look too desperate)
Girl: Cool. Well, I'm glad you called. (I think...)
Boy: Me too. Well, I'll see you soon.(Please be hot, please be hot!)
Girl: Alright. Bye. (I can't believe he called! Too late to back out
now. Besides, maybe he's cool. He didn't sound so bad on
the phone. I really hope he's not a virgin.)
Boy: Bye.(I did it! I am the man. I think she wants me. Yeah, she
definitely wants me..... I hope she has nice breasts.....)

A judge irritated by a lawyer's behaviour, admonished him,
"You are crossing the limits."
"Kaun Saala aisa kehta hai," roared the lawyer.
"How dare you call me saala ? I'll have you charged for
'contempt of court'," said the judge angrily.
"My lord misunderstood me," replied the lawyer coolly, "I do not
call you saala, all I said was kaun sa law aisa kehta hai...

A sardar PHd in Atomic Physics goes for an Interview all the way from
Chandigarh to Delhi for the post of a Prof. Once he reaches there he
is told that the vacancy is already filled and that he can go back.
The Sardar insists that he be interviewed. After much ado,
the interviewer agrees to interview the Sardar and says,
"I will ask you 2 questions and both the questions have 2 parts. If you
answer majority, i.e., 3 out of the 4 questions, I will employ you
even at the cost of the selected candidate."
The sardar agrees. The Interview goes like this:
Interviewer (IVR) : "Koo Chug Chug... Kya hai?"
Perplexed Sardar(PS) : "Saab yeh to Train hai"
IVR: "Excellent. Woh Shatabdi tha ki Rajdhani?"
Zapped PS : "Yeh Kaise batha sakthe hain??"
IVR : "Please Sardarji, I am the one to ask questions. Give answers only."
PS : "O.K. Aapne badi jaldi Jaldi Chug Chug bole, tho it must be Shatabdi."
IVR : "Nahi Sardarji, woh Rajdani tha. Koi baath nahin, do our sawaal hain.
Aap theek se jawab denge tho naukri mil jayegee."
IVR (showing his hand like an aeroplane taking off) :
"Yeh kya hai: ZZZzzzzzz00000mmmm."
PS : Yeh tho aerplane hain saab.
IVR : "Excellent sardarji! Yeh last sawaal ka jawab dedenge tho Naukri aapki hi hai.
Woh Indian Airlines tha ki Jet Aiways??"
PS : "Saab aap ajeeb sa sawwal phoochthe ho. Anyway Aap ne badi Uncha haath dikaye they,
isliye, woh Indian Airline Hogi?"
IVR : "Sorry sardarji, woh Jet Tha. Koi Baath Nahin. Aap ne do saie jawaab diye.
Ek aur saie jawaab diye hote tho mein aap ko eh naukri de detha."
An Obviously bugged sardarji said : "Koi baath nahin saab, mein bhi aap se do sawaal
phoochna chahunga. Aap jawab dedenge tho samjunga ki aap ne teek interview liya."
A rather happy IVR said : "Teek hai sardarji poocho."
PS (after making a oval shape with his index and middlfinger and showing it to IVR): "Yeh Kya hai?"
A zapped IVR : "Yeh kya kar rahe ho sardarji?"
PS : "Ab, mein sawaal phoochrahahun. Aap jawwab deejiye."
IVR : "Yeh to Chooth Hein."
PS : "Yeh aapki MAA ki ya Behan Ki?"

Santa was bragging to his boss one day, "You know,
I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone,
anyone, and I know them."
Tired of his boasting, his boss called him bluff,
"OK, Santa how about Tom Cruise?" "Sure, yes, Tom
and I are old friends, and I can prove it."
So Santa and boss fly out to Hollywood and knock
on Tom Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise,
shouts, "Santa! Great to see you! You and your
friend come right in and join me for lunch!"
Although impressed, Santa's boss is still
skeptical.After they leave Cruise's house, he tells
Santa that he thinks his knowing Cruise was just lucky.
"No, no, just name anyone else," Santa says.
"President Bush," his boss quickly retorts.
"Yes, I know him, let's fly out to Washington."
And off they go. At the White House, George W.
spots Santa on the tour and motions him and his boss
over, saying, "Santa, what a surprise, I was just on my
way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in
and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up."
Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still
not totally convinced. After they leave the White
house grounds, he expresses his doubts to Santa, who
again implores him to name anyone else.
"The Pope," his boss replies.
"Sure!" says Santa. "My folks are from Poland,
and I've known the Pope a long time."
So off they fly to Rome. Santa and his boss are
assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when
Santa says, "This will never work. I can't catch the
Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I
know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and
I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope."
And Santa disappears into the crowd headed toward
the Vatican. Sure enough, half an hour later Santa
emerges with the Pope on the balcony. By the time
Santa returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart
attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Working his way to his boss' side, Santa asks, "What
happened?" His boss looks up and says, "I was doing fine
until you and the Pope came out on the balcony and the
man next to me said, "Who's that on the balcony with
Santa Singh?"

There was once a Indian and an Pakistani who lived next door to
each other. The Indian owned a hen and each morning would look in his
garden and pick up one of his hen's eggs for breakfast.
One day he looked into his garden and saw that the hen had laid
an egg in the Pakistani's garden. He was about to go next door when he saw
the Pakistani pick up the egg. The Indian ran up to the Pakistani and told
him that the egg belonged to him because he owned the hen. The Pakistani
disagreed because the egg was laid on his property.
They argued for a while until finally the Indian said, "In my
family we normally solve disputes by the following actions: I kick you
in the balls and time how long it takes you to get back up, then you
kick me in the balls and time how long it takes for me to get up, who
ever gets up quicker wins the egg."
The Pakistani agreed to this and so the Indian found his heaviest
pair of boots and put them on, he took a few steps back, then ran toward
the Pakistani and kicked as hard as he could in the balls. The Pakistani
fell to the floor clutching his nuts howling in agony for 30 minutes.
Eventually the Pakistani stood up and said, "Now it's my turn to kick you."
The Indian said, "Keep the damn egg!"

Mudhkar jara idhar bhi dekh jalim, ke tamanna hum bhi rakhte hai
Chut tere paas hai to kya, lund hum bhi rakhte hai!
Ehsan kissika kya lena, hum to muth pe guzara karte hai
Jab bhi yaad unki aati hai, ooth ooth dubara karte hai!
Dil to diya hai tuje, magar ek shart lagayi hai
Leni hai woh cheez, jo tune tango me chheepayee hai!
Sher kahe, shayri kahe, ya gaye koi gana
Teri nani pair oothye, choude mera nana!
Koun kehta hai ki lund yahan mutneko aata hai
Woh to chut ki yaad me aansu bahane aata hai!
Chut se jab khoon behne laga
Mirza Galib samje, bhonsada paan khane laga!
Har roz aadaab, aadaab kahatee thee
Jab aa dabayaa toh khafa ho gayee!

This joke my be a little crude for some of you out there.
A Pakistani tourist after a long walk in one of very fancy clean streets
of Delhi found himself needing to urinate badly. After a long search he
could not find any place to you-know, and eventually couldn't control
himself and chose a silent corner of a clean street to release himself.
As soon as he had just started you-know-what, a Delhi police official
approached him, "Hey, What do you think you're doing here?"
Pakistani tourist: "Sorry I have to Pee"
Police : "No PP here okay ? Follow me......"
The Police officer took him to a beautiful garden nearby with lots of
grass, flowers and singing birds around........
Police: "PP here..... and have a nice day".
Pakistani tourist : "Oh Sir, ....... that's very nice of you, is
this Indian courtesy?"
Police: "No.......this is The Pakistani Embassy!"

The Secret of Success
Thursday, December 01, 2005http://whohastimeforthis.blogspot.com/
The Secret of Success
Commenters on my previous post have correctly pointed out that a logic puzzle is probably a weak indicator of VC skills. So what is a strong indicator of success? The question reminded me of an encounter in 1990...
The first person I ever met from Bessemer was Neill Brownstein, one of Silicon Valley's pioneer venture capitalists (with investments like Ungermann Bass, Telenet, Maxim, Veritas and BusinessLand). At that interview, he asked me this question:
What do you think is the most common trait among successful venture capitalists?
I thought hard, trying to impress him. "Deep industry domain knowledge."
"No," he said.
"Um, analytical skills?"
"No."
Uh oh, I started grasping. "Rich network of contacts? Operating experience? Engineering background? Financial background? Skepticism? Patience? Sense of Urgency? Salesmanship? Decisiveness?" (the last of which I clearly didn't display)
"No."
"I give up. What is it?"
"Luck."
I have since followed Neill's advice.
Coincidentally, the second most important factor, I now believe, is a strong, stable platform with great mentors (like Neill and Felda) and smart partners.
