#OralHistory

Sir M Vishveshvariah went to meet Gandhiji. He sat down on a chair offered to him. Gandhiji chuckled.

Sir MV asked him why.
Gandhiji replied "You are wearing a suit, carrying a gold handled cane and have a gold watch in your pocket. So you have to sit on a chair.

I'm like the poor in this country who have only one cloth to wear and don't have a chair to sit on."

Sir MV replied "Mahatma, I'm the son of a poor temple priest who could hardly make two ends meet. I saw an Englishman ride in a carriage drawn by horses with a

gold handled stick, with all the people looking at him in awe. I decided that I should do better than him. So, I toiled hard, studied and earned this position.

If all our countrymen think like you, in the future, we will sit on the floor and others will rule us!"

@BarackObama

Joke ahead

It was Christmas eve of 2013 & God was fed up with the way mankind was evolving.

He took the tough decision of ending the human race & decided to inform the leaders. In a puff, @BarackObama , Vladmir Putin @KremlinRussia_E & India's very own #manmohansinghji

@MichelleObama

appeared before him

He told them
"Hi! I'm God & I wanted you top leaders to carry my message to humanity. I'm fed up with your lies & deceit, so I'm ending the world."
& puff . . . . they were gone.

Obama reappeared at the White House where @MichelleObama & the girls were

were decorating the Christmas tree. They wondered were he was gone but he didn't utter a word. Instead, he went to the Press Office & went live on TV & addressed the American people. He said

Joke ahead

A Teacher asked her young students to get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it.

The next day, the kids came back and 1 by 1, began to tell their stories

There were all the regular type of stuff till Janie said
''My daddy told me a

story about my Mom

My Mom was a Marine pilot in Operation Desert Storm in Iraq and her plane got hit
She had to bail out over enemy territory & all she had was a flask of whiskey, a pistol & a survival knife
She drank the whiskey on the way down so the bottle wouldn't break &
2/

then her parachute landed her right in the middle of 20 Iraqi troops
She shot 15 of them with the pistol, until she ran out of bullets, killed 4 more with the knife, till the blade broke & then she killed the last Iraqi with her bare hands."

Pin drop silence in the class!!!

Thread alert
IMHO
Biggest achievements of #ModiSarkarKe7Saal we take for granted:

1 Self-attestation: In 1-stroke, no need to hunt for "Gazetted Officers" who will inspect an original document before imperially affixing a signature on a duplicate. Your word wasn't good enough
1/

2 Digilocker: Single tamper-proof repository of all your important documents. Excellent Govt service, use it if you don't

3 Fuel price deregulation: No need to wonder how much subsidy GoI will release, for which product, how it'll be financed, how will the finance be repaid?

4 C-forms: Part of GST rollout but needs an honourable mention as it was a nightmare for MSMEs. Issued on security paper (the same secure printing as a cheque leaf), no need for maintaining a register, keeping stock, indenting from the Dept & then politely chasing them for a few.

#TwitterBanInIndia

A man driving on the highway was stopped by the highway patrol
Cop: Do you know why I stopped you?
Man: Coz you're a Brahmin & this is #BrahminicalPatriarchy at work?
C: No! My caste has nothing to do with this. You're driving on the wrong side of the road

@Twitter

M: I work for @Twitter & our community standards guide tells us we have to drive on the right side of the road
C: That guide was written in USA. You're now in India. You need to drive on the left
M: Though it's not the international standard, I'll strive to drive on the left

2/

C: No, no. If you drive on the wrong side I'll have to write up a ticket
M: Ok. I'll strive to drive on the left & tie up with India's opposition & NGOs to advocate we drive on the right. Can I go now?
C: I'm done! I'm writing a ticket
M: Now you're intimidating me! Fascist!

Think about this & connect the dots
1 There's a growing feeling the #CCPVirus leaked from the lab & didn't jump from animals in Wuhan wet market.

2. If it was a deliberate leak, it makes more sense to experiment with the smaller & hostile Vietnam or the puppet State of

North Korea or even Taiwan & bring them to their knees. Even their long-pending invasion of Taiwan would have been possible.

3. But Wuhan (China's industrial heartland & pharma manufacturing hub) being the epicentre, shows it has to be accidental

4. Also, if the leak had been deliberate, China would have known EXACTLY what the next steps would be & wouldn't have been caught off-guard. They were lost & confused in the initial days. And, no. They weren't pretending.
