Hijacking a plane was CHILDS PLAY under her . Who on earth gave her the title IRON LADY?

It was the army which won the war without her knowledge in 1971. She like her father was always sympathetic towards Pakistan hence she lost on the table a war that was won on the battlefld

One night a guy goes to get a room in a hotel. "Hello, I want a single room for the night please." "Fine, sir, here's one of our best rooms. Room 13," says the concierge and hands him the key. The guy goes upstairs, takes a shower and gets straight into bed.
At about 2 0'clock in the morning, two gorgeous naked women come in and slide under the covers. When he realizes what is going on, he starts screwing both of them. He can't believe what's happening. Next morning, still surprised by last night's events,
he goes downstairs to settle the bill. "How was your room sir?" asks the receptionist. "Excellent, I will come back again. What do I owe you?" asks the man.
"Well. actually, sir, we are doing a promotional offer.

A man in his late 40s was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror.

Since her birthday was not far off he asked her what she'd like to have for her birthday.

'I'd like to be 26 again', she replied, still looking in the mirror
On her birthday morning, he got up early, made her a nice big cup of coffee & then took her to Adventure World theme park on a bike.

What a day!

He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything....
5 hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling & her stomach felt upside down.

He then took her to the most exotic restaurant where they ate and danced like never before. Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda, & her favorite chocolate.

The 2012 Australian Poetry Competition held in Sydney Opera House had come down to two finalists;

A) The university graduate.
B)An old aboriginal.
They were given a common word, and then allowed two minutes to reflect on the word and recite a short four line poem that contained the word.

The word they were given was ' TIMBUKTU '.

First to recite his poem was the university graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said
Slowly across the desert sand,
Trekked a lonely caravan
Men on camels two by two
Destination - Timbuktu .

The crowd went crazy! No way could the old aboriginal top that, they thought.

The old aboriginal calmly made his way to the microphone and recited;

Interesting Read- 1971 A war won on the battlefield but lost on the table.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto came to Simla as the head of a defeated nation with nothing to bargain. 93,000 Pakistani prisoners were in India and the tehsil of Shakargarh
as well as large tracts of desert were under Indian occupation.

The Pakistani State itself was tottering & the only card Bhutto had was to play on the Indian need to have a viable Pakistan survive.Using his weakness dexterously,
Bhutto made sure that India could never drive a hard bargain.

All that Pakistan conceded at Simla was that it would not use force to solve the Kashmir problem and it would deal with the issue bilaterally. It is indeed astonishing that a militarily weak and defeated nation
