…….I mean in a nutshell … by Vishnu Hathiramani vishnu@skybraodband.com.ph

There was a big commotion in an Indian city recently. It started when a NRI filed a complaint that he lost his BB. The newspaper reported that this NRI lost his wife [BIBI in Hindi]. It was his Black Berry.
I was in Hong Kong recently. Despite the financial crisis, HK life goes on. But without new gizmos and products. People are doing with their limited funds. No more big talk as before. Crisis is the master of humility as they say.
Jokingly Sta-bucks is now known as “StarCoins”. No more bucks only coins are remaining. In states formerly this outlet used to sell just a cup of coffee costing US$ 3.99. The crisis condition has now forced this outlet to also provide in the same price a small sandwich or a snack. Wi-Fi is still free.
Slum Dog Millionaire has been watched by many. There is no fixed opinion on this movie. Many loved it, many hated it and many did not understand it. I loved it. Hollywood will now welcome Bollywood in their arena. The 1Billion Indian market population is too big to miss. Realization comes late. I was in Kowloon side of HK and one store had a 1000 pcs. of this CD'S for sale. It will sell out in 2 days. Just one store out of the many in Chung King arcade.
Holiday Inn Golden Mile in Hong Kong is still a great hotel to stay in. Comfartable beds, great service and great location. The Chinese food at HIGM LOONG YUEN [did I get it right?] is Mmmmmmmm and delicious.
Some good Indian movies I saw recently were: AMAR, BILLU BARBER, JUGAAD AND SDM. I got some MP audio CDs. The cost of one is about 2 US$ and you would have about 200 songs in it. A very cheap and useful investment. Remember that your audio equipments too have to be MP compatible.
I was a recipient of some good Sindhi movies from Dubai. Sindhis all over the world must get the full range of Sindhi movies from DUBAI, co-share the cost and let each and every Sindhi watch the movie. This is the only way our Sindhi culture and religion.
Face book is definitely a great product and enjoyed by many. Unfortunately it now is being used by some for not some good mean and use. The saying that “A man is known by the company he keeps” is so true in the pictures of face book. Log on to the site of a face book registrant and looks at his or her pictures. You would know the kind of friends he has, lifestyle he leads, clothes he wears and places he goes too.
HOW THE FIGHT STARTED
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MANY BATTLE SCARRED VETERANS [from the European region].
My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'an inch of dust!!'
And then the fight started...
My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.' I bought her a scale. And then the fight started...
When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive... so, I took her to a gas station. And then the fight started...
After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.
She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'
And then the fight started...
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.
My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'
'Yes,' I sighed, 'she’s my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'
'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'
And then the fight started...
I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
"I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please."
He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?""
Nah, she can order for herself." And then the fight started...
A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.' And then the fight started.....
My wife asked me if a certain dress made her butt look big. I told her not as much as the dress she wore yesterday. And then the fight started.....
A man and a woman were asleep like two innocent babies. Suddenly, at 3 o'clock in the morning, a loud noise came from outside. The woman, bewildered, jumped up from the bed and yelled at the man 'Holy crap. That
must be my husband!'
So the man jumped out of the bed; scared and naked jumped out the window.
He smashed himself on the ground, ran through a thorn bush and to his car as fast as he could go.
A few minutes later he returned and went up to the bedroom and screamed at
the woman, 'I AM your husband!'
The woman yelled back, 'Yeah, then why were you running?' And then the fight started.....
I asked my wife, "Where do you want to go for our anniversary?" It warmed my
heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.
"Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said.
So I suggested, "How about the kitchen?" And that's when the fight started....
My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"
"No," she answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?"
She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying "Yes." So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."
And that's when the fight started....
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first: the truck, the car, e-mail, and fishing, always something more important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then
went into the house. I was gone only a few minutes. When I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. 'When you finish cutting the grass,' I said, 'you might as well sweep the driveway.'
And then the fight started...
Jhule Lal.
