The Place To Be

Cars and more Cars !

Hi guyz...
Personally, i love the mean machines, but not as far as making a blog on them.. But,Dhruv(my bro) has done that (he's a freak abt cars), he's called it Cars and more Cars; and if u like the roaring Mustang or sleek Carrera, his blog is the place to be(lol :-) ) !! You can check it out here.

PS : Please post nice comments on his blog, coz he is en-route to making a new blog about guns... So, u know, to stay safe from practical usage of any of them, i posted nice comments on his blog.. I advise you do the same.. :-) (kiddin dhruv...) and i wonder if its gonna be calld Guns and More Guns...

Sandstorm

Hey all !!
Howz you doin ?? As i was travelling in my cousin's car,he put in a CD and i loved one of the tracks, it sounded vaguely familiar and is really a rocking song.. Wonder how many of you have heard it, but "Sandstorm" by "Darude" is one song you wont regret downloading..
All the same Brazil tamed Ghana, and Spain crashed out as Zizou showed his class, leading his team to a 3-1 victory sealing a place against the mighty Brazilians in the quarters... Next 2 matches being only on 30 June : Germany Vs Argentina ; Italy Vs. Ukraine.. Gonna be hell of a night !!

Economics

Hey guys...
Personally i luv economics as a subject, but a joke on it is even better... This one's really nice and comes under the category of sensible jokes...

TRADITIONAL ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies and the economy grows.
You retire on the income.

INDIAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
You worship them.

PAKISTAN ECONOMICS
You don't have any cows.
You claim that the Indian cows belong to you.

AMERICAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
You sell one and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
The cow drops dead.
You put the blame on some nation with lots of cows & naturally that nation will be a danger to mankind.
You wage a war to save the world and grab the cows.

FRENCH ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
You go on strike because you want three cows.

GERMAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
You reengineer them so that they live for 100 years, eat once a month and milk themselves.

BRITISH ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
They are both mad cows.

ITALIAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
You don't know where they are.
You break for lunch.

SWISS ECONOMICS
You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you.
You charge others for storing them.

JAPANESE ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
You redesign them so that they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow.
You then create cute cartoon cow images called Cowkimon and market them worldwide.

RUSSIAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
You count them and learn you have five cows.
You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.
You give up counting and open another bottle of vodka.

IRANIAN ECONOMICS
You have two cows.
You don't know economy.
You choose one as the leader of your country and the other as the president.

:-) Hope u enjoyed the joke.. Sorry countries no hard feelings a joke is a joke...
Bye for now.. Tc... Keep smilin !! :-)

Switzerland... Penalised & Heartbroken

Hey guys.
Finally my wish came true and the first penalty shootouts of the Fifa World Cup 2006.. Throughout the 90 minutes of the match(Ukraine Vs. Switzerland), and the extra 30 minutes,I was wishing and hoping no one scored.. And then after a long wait, the penalty shootouts arrived... Ukrainian goalie Shovkovskyi wasnt the least bothered as the Swiss hammered the kicks onto the bar or directly at him...Surprisingly,the Swiss, who haven't conceded a single goal in the tournament,failed to convert from the spot.. So Ukraine nabbed a 3-0 victory and booked themselves a spot against Italy in the quarterds on Friday.. But before that we habe the mighty Brazilians facing the newbies Ghana tonight (IST), lets just hope Ronaldinho shows us his best form which he has been talking about in the last few days... Till then bye for tomorrow, coz tomorrow never dies !! :-)

Portugal Vs Holland - A Rugbyish Encounter

Hey all..
The people of the world are now divided into 2 parts.. the ones who saw the Portugal vs Holland football match, and the ones who didnt... N I'd say the latter missed an amazing match of violent football...
The goal scorer for the match was Maniche, following a beautiful cross from Deco and a gentle tap by Pauleta..He did it again, as he did in Euro 2004,being the lone scorer against Holland..
16 yellow cards and 4 red cards constituting the match, very frequently the players got into tussles.. Deco got suspended for no reason,or rather no fault of his.. and Scolari (Portugese coach, ex-Brazilian Coach who led them to WC victory in 2002) was Fuming... and the match finished, with 6 minutes extra time in the second half, with 9 players a side... And I guess the Man of The Match award should go to Refree Valentin Ivanov..
Portugal, though having qualified, now have 4 of their players in serious trouble... Deco and Costinho suspended for the next match,Luis Figo may face disciplinary action by FIFA, and from the way Christiano Ronaldo was in tears after being taken off because of a mighty blow to his right thigh,he's unsure for the next match as well..
But Portugal may take respite from the unsettled performance of the English against the Ecuadorians, with Beckham being the lone scorer.. Flashes of brilliance from Steven Gerrard came now and then but none of them resulted in the back of the net..
So both England and Portugal have a herculean task at hand, facing each other in the quarters next weekend, an awesome match to look forward to..
As Ecuador and Holland take a flight back home, I wish them a safe and happy journey...
Bye and tc...

Everybody (He's Back)

Heyy guyz
He's arrived in Germany amongst so much criticism..
He was called fat, overweight, unfit. and yet he's back...
There's no denying Ronaldo's brilliance in the Brazil vs. Japan game and he's given his critics no opportunity whatsoever to come back at him...
Inspite of his poor performance in the first, and average in the second game, the Brazilian came back with a bang in the third...
Let's just hope he's for real, and the nightmare of his 1998 World Cup failure doesnt haunt him any more than it did in the first two games..
(though my personal favorites are Kaka and Lionel Messi :-) i felt it was right to post about Ronaldo's return.. he deserves it... Keep the samba up ..)
Ok bye guyz i gtg.. (hope u subscribed to my blog.. dn worry it will be updated daily.... ok misha ??? :-) )
bye tc

CRY

Hey Guys...

Most of us have heard about CRY right ???? Child Relief and You... Aha.. Here's the catch... Coz now CRY is Child Rights and You...
Yea.. Its more than just providing them pieces of clothing or some toys temporarily...but to ensure they get the rights they deserve.. Childhood can and must be preserved. Children have the right to survive, develop, be protected and participate in decisions that impact their lives.

• 40% of India's population is below the age of 18 years which at 400 million is the world's largest child population.
• At 17 million, India is home to world’s largest population of child labourers (this is the official figure, activists claim the actual number is closer to four fold)
• Less than half of India's children between the age 6 and 14 go to school.
• One in every ten children is disabled in India.
• Only 38% of India's children below the age of 2 years are immunized
• Almost one in every five children in India below the age of 14 suffers from diarrhea, an easily preventable disease.

So supporting CRY is almost another of our Fundamental Duties... You can do it right from your house.. visit CRY
Or.. to directly access the shop which houses wonderful pieces of art made by children with prices startin at Indian Rupee 1 (0.0217 USD),click here..
If you cant buy the stuff, please at least make a conscious effort to at least spread the awareness.. Even small acts done by you can bring big smiles to the faces of the suffering young generation of India..

Disclaimer: In the above article some portions are in bold.. This is done to indicate the fact that these are taken directly from the official website of CRY, so as to not cause any confusion regarding their aims and objectives. It has been done in the interest of CRY. Any one having disputes regarding this may please contact the author of The Place To Be.
