Tom ,Tom ,you had cruised from far and came to our holy land
We have no clue who you are but you deserve a welcome with band
We love you for the money we have got for screaming Tom, Tom
And we promise to scream louder if you come again ,Hey Ram.

Mumbai: When Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise landed in Mumbai he was elated to find fans teeming outside the Mumbai airport to greet him. The star smiled and waved at his fans and got inside his car and left for his hotel. Moments later his so called fans were paid by a coordinator for turning up at the airport.
According to a news website, around 200 people were paid Rs 150 for playing the role of screaming fans at the airport when the Hollywood star arrived. A model coordinator had arranged for the junior artists to play the ‘role’ of Tom’s Indian fans.

Funnily enough, most of them had no clue who Tom Cruise was.

Yes sir, yes sir, three palms full.

The walmart guys think we are a bit dense
When it comes to our basic number sense
They do not absolutely mean any offence
As we are not brown sheep full of of wool
It makes sense to us to say three palms full
That way we grasp better their “fifteen” rule

He often works without interruption

“As always, I work without interruption and if occasionally I happen to look a beautiful girl in the face, it’s better to like beautiful girls than to be gay,” he tells a meeting at a motorcycle industry show in Milan (Berluscuni)

When it comes to pretty girls,
Berluscuni is a real workaholic
He often works without interruption
In any matter of fun and frolic.
Occasionally he looks at them
In the eye as a gesture symbolic.

In widely reported wiretapped conversations, Berlusconi brags of fending off a line of young women outside his door and “doing only eight girls, because I couldn’t do more.”

Berlusconi is no doubt a handsome hunk mainly
Who can make a sassy lassie feel pretty lonely.
Unluckily he can do girls upto a maximum of eight
Not one more humanly, weighed down heavily
You see, by many pressing matters of the state.

Google and wife have so much in common

http://www.thecrimsoncrow.com/2011/10/dear-google/

I love this google thing which is just like our dear wife .
We hardly get to complete a sentence in our whole life.

Both google and wife know what really we want to say
And suggest it helpfully as they care for us night and day.
They save our breath, with no strain on our minds, hurray.

Mid-day lunch will spoil the kids’ appetites for supper

They wanted to shape pre-schoolers into blooming red apples
A mid-day lunch would spoil their tender appetites for supper
Going hungry in between lessons would sharpen their faculty
Fed funds can be used for housing,that is a national priority.

A Staten Island couple stole at least $2.5 million in federal funds meant for nutritious meals for preschoolers, siphoning off the money to their own housing,
prosecutors asserted in a criminal complaint unsealed on Friday.

His hurricane reports are stinking

nisheedhi — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 04:49:59 +0000

The reporter is a sucker for realistic reporting
When the hurricane Irene hit the Maryland coast
All of a sudden he realised that shit had hit him
As an angry sea roared and poured raw sewage.
Not to be outdone,he called it just organic matter
It doesn’t taste great ,says he, in friendly chatter.

Mahatma Gandhi was so poor he had no money for salt

nisheedhi — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 06:09:10 +0000

Mahatma Gandhi was so poor that he had no money for salt
Gandhi had to walk all the way to Dandi to collect free salt
So poor was Mr. Gandhi, he had to walk barefoot on asphalt
With no money to travel from Sabarmati to Dandi, what a jolt!
Coming from indigent circumstances was surely not his fault
This must be borne in mind by every patriot worth his salt.

MK Gandhi lead the Dandi march for what main reason?

Lack of salt – Kedar Bhatia, Ruia College (Mumbai)
Gandhiji wanted to collect clothes – Nitin Rao, SIES College (Mumbai)

The result of a quiz conducted recently among college students on the occasion of India’s Independence day.The ignorance of the country’s history is hilarious.Or was that deliberate act of modern day cynicism?

Mahatma Gandhi had led India’s struggle for independence against the British and as part of the non-cooperation movement he launched the salt satyagraha i.e.marching to the sea shore at Dandi to make salt to protest against the imposition of the salt tax by the British government.

They have a right to post lewd pictures

nisheedhi — Fri, 19 Aug 2011 02:18:53 +0000

Thank God our kids’ democratic rights are protected
And no moral depravity on the part of the girls detected
Their right now stands vindicated to post pictures lewd
It ensures their academic growth ,enhancing their mood.

Fort Wayne – A federal court judge has ruled that an Indiana school district has violated the First Amendment rights of two teenage girls who were barred from participating in extracurricular activities after posting lewd pictures online taken at a summer sleepover.

Fitch upgrades standards of poor to rich

nisheedhi — Wed, 17 Aug 2011 17:24:52 +0000

America is triple A once again after an anxious week
The S&P guys were not right to rate its future bleak
They had found the country’s fundamentals rather week.
Luckily the Fitch guys are nice fellas with positive views
Their outlook is stable ,beating S&P in blacks and blues.
They have restored the triple A ,the nice guys from Fitch
America is richie-rich again, in this switch from Fitch
God’s there in heaven ,all’s right with it, not a hitch,
Truly a stitch in time ,upgrading by Fitch by a notch.
Else, on its fair name there would be such a big blotch.

(Reuters) – Fitch Ratings said on Tuesday it affirmed the United States’ top-notch credit rating at AAA, giving the world’s largest economy a reprieve after it was downgraded by Standard & Poor’s little more than a week ago.

The red dress folk are on beer runs for social redress

nisheedhi — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 04:15:48 +0000

The red-dress folk are on beer runs for social redress
Just a drinking club with a running problem,God bless
They merely like to drink and sing bawdy songs on beer
They are not here to oggle goggle-eyed girls or to leer
But only to do some good in charity and spread cheer.

“The Harriers, who style themselves as a “drinking club with a running problem, ” have recruited thousands of guest runners, walkers and layabouts to wiggle into crimson gowns and make their way from bar to bar in the French Quarter and Faubourg Marigny on Saturday.

Now in its 17th year, the New Orleans Red Dress Run has soared in popularity since its debut, growing from an initial field of about a dozen to a sprawling romp that draws participants from as far away as Chicago. About 7,500 men and women registered for the 2010 event, raising close to $200,000 for charity. Proceeds were divided among 50 local nonprofit organizations”
