…….I mean in a nutshell … by Vishnu Hathiramani vishnu@zpdee.net
I would like to greet all the Fathers a Very Happy Father’s Day, which falls on the third Sunday of June. This year it is June 15th. Remember Mother’s day falls on the second Sunday of May.
I would like to make special mention of my son Vishal who has just become a Father recently. I am sure this will be the most memorable Father’s Day of his life, being his first child. His wife Parveen, mom Heena [my wife] & I are extremely overjoyed.

Saw two good movies of DVD. The first one is Lust and Passion, a Chinese movie subtitled in English. Excellent movie with a setting of Shanghai and Hong Kong era 1940’s. Surprisingly, Anupam Kher was in the movie. As a warning, some scenes are very sex oriented. Bedroom watching only, when all kids are asleep.
Another good movie “Contender” is a must watch. American Politics. Do not reveal the end to your friends.
Would anyone know if the DVD copy of the comedy 2007 movie “LOINS OF PUNJAB” has been released and where to secure it? Would appreciate a email at Vishnu@zpdee.net
The Lakers are up against Boston in the finals. The question here is: Will IPL beat the world audience of NBA, in the near future?
Indian Government policies were to have different pricing for tourists visiting sites in India. Formerly, an Indian used to pay Rupees 50 but an NRI INDIAN must pay 750 rupees. Now the government has slashed the prices to rupees 250 for visiting the Taj Mahal, Qutab Minar or the Ajanta and Ellora caves. Other monuments prices have been reduced to Rupees 100. Good move.
OCI introduced by the Indian government must be secured by all Sindhis, if holding a foreign passport and no dual citizenship also. Costing US$ 300 it gives many privileges up to the 4th generation with some exceptions. Look at the privileges: Life time free visa to India, all rights given to Indian nationals except for these two conditions: The first is that you cannot run or enter any election sphere in India. The second is that you cannot buy two kinds of properties in India, which is Agricultural and Plantation land. You could buy residential, commercial, Industrial and more. You are considered as good as an Indian national. As a foreigner OCI card holder you do not have to report to the Indian immigration, as generally foreign passport holder have to do.
To get precise and clear rules, log on to www.rpindia.info [embassy section]. Look for the free 100+ pages NRI book, which can be read or downloaded.
Enhance your memory and have a nice party game.
In a party, ask the guests the meaning of “24 H in a D”. If no one could guess, offer a prize and tell them to add two words: A and Y in one of the alphabet. It means 24 hours in a day. This would then set the mood for the party game.
Then pass on these questionnaires, one sheet per table. All the winners of the winning table should then get a wine bottle each. The list is:
7 D in a W 12 M in a Y 2 W of a B 9 L of a C 3 H of a C 7 D of SW 9 M in a P
8 T of a O 7c of the W 10 Y in a D 28 D in F 5 F in a F 366 D in a L Y
7 C of the R 60 S in a M 26 L of the A 4 C of a S 12 D of C 4 T S of a P 10 C of G
Interesting?!?!? The answers are in the end of this article.
Thank you my friend from the Philippines for these jokes.
Girl: 'When we get married, I want to share all your worries, troubles and lighten your burden.'
Boy: 'It's very kind of you, darling, but I don't have any worries or troubles.'
Girl: 'Well that's because we aren't married yet.'
A wife asked her husband: 'What do you like most in me, my pretty face or my sexy body?'
He looked at her from head to toe and replied: “I like your sense of humor”
