Ironies That Can Only Exist In India
India is a land of contradictions. While most of these contradictions arise from societal and economic issues, quite a few of them arise from our hypocritical attitude as well. The problem is that while all of us want these problems to disappear, we still stick to our “chalta hai” attitude and let things be as they are, waiting for someone else to clean up our mess. Ironical isn’t it. These things are even more so.
a. A BLACK CAT passing by the crossroad can stop hundreds of people what a RED LIGHT on traffic signal has failed to do for long time!!
b. Indians are obsessed with screen guards on their smartphones even though most come with scratch proof Gorilla Glass but never bother wearing a helmet while riding their bikes.

The Two Lions-Joke by Goa CM
Joke told
by Manohar Parrikar -CM of Goa at Pan IIT Meet in
Pune......
Two lions
escape from a zoo. One of the lions had been captured from the jungle, so he
runs back to the jungle. The other was born in the zoo itself - so is basically
a city-slicker. He vanishes into the city.
Three days
later the jungle-lion is recaptured - and returned to the zoo. A month passes,
then two, three..... but city-lion is not traceable! Finally, after six months
the city-lion is also recaptured and brought back to the zoo. Jungle-lion is
amazed to see his friend.
Jungle-lion: For God's sake, how were you able to
evade these guys for 6 whole months?!
City-lion: Kuchh nahi yaar! I just went to a
government department, and hid behind a huge pile of dusty files that they have
there.
Jungle-lion: But what did you eat
there?
City-lion: Arrey, there was an unlimited supply
of government servants. Whenever I ate one, they hired five more. Nobody did any
work anyway, so nobody missed the ones I ate.
Jungle-lion: Wow! But, then how did you get
caught?
City-lion: Galti kar gaya yaar... On the last day
I ate the chai-walla. Now, everyone missed their chai-walla & their chai!
They launched a massive hunt. And I got
caught!
