Ni Cotine Code

-

Recently, I was asked to draft a mail, inviting all my team members for a birthday bash at the workplace...Incidentally, it so happened that it was scheduled on the 'anti-tobacco' day...and I had no choice, other than writing this....but believe me, it was a huge hit !!

Hi All,
PLEASE quit smoking now ! The next time you MAKE an attempt to smoke, buy YOURSELF nicotine replacements - Several Indian makes are AVAILABLE in the market, at afFORdable prices these days. The world sees THE BIRTH of a new tobacco consumer every DAY. It all starts in the name of fun and CELEBRATIONS initially. An addict, seldom realises that the death stick which is TO BE HELD between the lips, is going to baseball his/her life AT every run. We are soon to enter into THE THIRD decade of the 'Anti-tobacco' campaign, since it's inception, on May 31st 1988. Many debates have been on FLOOR IN several parliments across the globe regarding the ban on tobacco. Probably some kind of a Section, say 'C', should be introduced by the income tax WING AT the onset of the financial year 2006 - 2007, which gives a tax exemption for non-smokers ! Ladies and gentlemen, every time you throw a cigrette stub, please bear in mind that you are also throwing 5 PM (precious minutes) from your life. Kick your habit, TODAY !!

What you're about to read is an actual resignation note (unedited version) that my manager-friend received from one of his team members. "Hello, I will not cum in office from today onwords.I fell down in the road last friday while returning from the office near madivala flyover. I right leg and right shoulder got little damage. As per the doctor advise I have to take 30 to 45 days rest to recovar campletly. Since I going to Australia far MBA in feb last weak I Can't join the job again after my recovary far shart period. So I decided to dis-continue my work from today onwords. I really sorry far the inconvenience caused to resigning my job. Tanks for the great suport and copration from u r compayny. I yum resign." Atleast, 'I will not cum in office' was pardonable to a certain extent, since it gave my friend a hearty laugh. But, 'I yum resign' was the last straw to break the camel's back. After reading that last sentence, my friend felt like...

White snow and two dwarfs

It snowed 'monkeys and donkeys' in the east coast, yesterday. Don't get me wrong, they weren't scattered all around. Simply meant to use a different phrase, just for the heck of it. 'cats and dogs' are reserved only for rains, aren't they? Coming back to 'monkeys and donkeys', it had been snowing the whole of yesterday and Connecticut recorded an average of 10 - 12 inches. M y wife and I, kept gazing outside the whole day hoping for the storm to abate, so that we could have a romantic walk before the snow turns into ice. Atlast, it stopped around ten in the night. This was the moment we were waiting for. Both of us, fully armoured with thick winter clothing, finally stepped out of the house and walked towards the parking lot. There were heaps of snow all over the place and it took us a while to discover our black beauty, the Audi A4 , which was hidden under one of the mounds. As we started shovelling to unearth our car, we indulged in a deep convers...

Anthrax

The 'word web' software on my system tray defines anthrax as, "A species of Bacillus that causes anthrax in humans and in animals (cattle and swine and sheep and sheep and rabbits and mice and guinea pigs); can be used as a bioweapon" If you really think anthrax is a bio-chemical weapon and is manufactured only by terrorists, well then you are mistaken. The photo of the person shown above is neither a terrorist who belongs to al-qaeda, nor is he an accomplice of Osama. Yet, he looks like one and also plays a vital role in spreading the anthrax. He is none other than our own desi software engineer, who lives in Bangalore. Typically, this is the attire of the working class in Bangalore. Womenfolk are no exceptions. These people are the major revenue generators of the state, who mostly still ride a two-wheeler though they can afford a four-wheeler. This class of the working society, coupled with the rest, jointly manufacture bio chemical weapons of mass destruction, call...
