A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation.

"You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one," the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. "The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon, our space ships have visited Mars. We have nuclear energy, electric and hydrogen cars, computers with light-speed processing and...," pausing to take another drink of beer.

The older man took advantage of the break in the student's litany and said, "You're right, son. We didn't have those things when we were young... so we invented them. Now, what are YOU and your bunch doing for the next generation?"

The applause was resounding.

Billa was fabulous.. Ajith and Vishnuvardhan have strived hard to give a worthy remake of the Rajnikanth movie and it shows !

If any one reading this post has read any of William Dalrymple's books be kind enough to drop their drop!!

I need to just chat about that ..

Three men on a train noticed that three women had only one ticket between them. They said, "How are you going to travel on one ticket?" One woman said, "Watch and learn."

A bit later, the three women all crammed into a bathroom and when the conductor came around, he knocked on the door and said, "Ticket please!" One single arm extended from the bathroom and he took the ticket and went on his way.

The men thought it was a clever idea after all. On the return trip, the men bought only one ticket for the three of them and noticed that the women didn't buy any.

One man asked, "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" One woman said, "Watch and learn," A while after the trip started, the three men crammed into one bathroom and the three women crammed into another. A few seconds later, one woman came out of the bathroom, knocked on the door of the other bathroom and said, "Ticket please!"
