What if in 2050…

∙ The human race is on the verge of extinction as mobile phone radiation is life-threatening over lifelong usage.
(Or maybe the meek (mobile illiterate minority) have indeed inherited the Earth.)

∙ Global Warming turns out to be the biggest fraud as the human race is caught totally unawares by the coming of the next Ice Age.

∙ The entire human race goes insane as it fails to distinguish between Actual Reality and Virtual Reality. Virtual Insanity is the epidemic that goes way beyond tuberculosis, AIDS and cancer.

∙ Gambia becomes the 54th country to get atomic bombs as nuclear Armageddon is indeed a reality.

∙ Women dominate every profession in the world as most men end up becoming househusbands.
(Husband in fact comes from the word housebound!)

∙ The world achieves its dream of being paperless and hence ecofriendly only to have a supervirus wreak havoc on the Internet Cloud, rendering the world back to the pre-computer age.

∙ Finally there is no progress in the world as World War 3 has transported mankind back to the Stone Age.

∙ Lukas Rise-ol beats Ra-fell Nadal.
Roger that?

(June 29)

(June 28)

∙ Dollar to Rupee: Tum kitne gire hue ho!

(June 23)

∙ Like Brangelina, Singur should be renamed Mamatata.

(June 22)

∙ ELEMENTS of Adarsh…
Crores vanished in the AIR as they poured WATER on the dreams of honest defence personnel. Now all evidence has been destroyed in a FIRE and Justice will be forever buried in the EARTH.

Bhrastachaar itna bad gaya hai ki uska naam ab Bharshtapaanch rakhna padega.

(June 21)

∙ It’s called Rashtra“pati” because all husbands are generally useless and don’t have a say in the decisions of the house.

(June 19)

∙ It’s so funny that on Facebook every status sounds grand, every picture looks good, every link sounds important, every friend feels true and every trivial activity is hallowed. All that is ignored in real life mysteriously becomes magnified manifold when made virtual.

∙ I just love Aamir Khan’s passion, tears and commitment.
To think he’s just getting a measely Rs 3 crores per episode for doing exactly that.
Dhana Jayate!

∙ PJ of the day…
Why is the UPA like a cake?
Because both are great when fresh, but stink when they’ve been around for too long.

∙ The Congress ate Rs 5.50 from the Rs 7.50 petrol hike and gave back Rs 2 to the common man saying: Tu do kha!

Dost dost na raha, Pyari Pyari na raha...

(June 2)

∙ Annual Appraisal
PM: I have just one question. Is any of us guilty?
CBI: No! You are all innocent.
PM: Your grade is “Outstanding”! Keep it up.
