Kamalji’s Masala News – Space Toilet,Cat Slapping

Orissa Villager Fined  Rs. 120/- for Slapping Cat –TOI  pg 9  30/5/08

On Tuesday village elders at Eakarunkha in Nuagaon block of Orissa sat to hear a strange case, and delivered a strange judgement.

Keen on a lip smacking rice and fish meal,Akshay had purchased the fish.But even before  his wife could prepare  a dish,the cat sneaked in and polished the fish off.

Akshay’s wife caught the pussy in the act and informed him,who, flew into a rage,stormed his neighbour Rabindra’s house and started beating their pet cat with a stick,causing a minor head and leg injuries to the pet.

The Panchayat ruled in Rabindra’s favour, and asked Akshay to cough up a fine of 120/- within two days.

My comments – How the hell can u lose the fish, and then pay up the fine.I would have had the cat for dinner instead.

Something similar had happened to me a few years back.My maid was washing my fish in the tap in the lawns, and she came to bring a dish toput the washed fish in, when she went back , a cat took the bag of fish and ran.She yelled to me, and I took a stick and ran after the cat, who dropped the bag and went away.

My wife was like throw away the fish, the cat may have licked  it, and u will die etc.I said from the shop where I buy the fish,so may cats move around there, they could lick it there too, the shopkeeper is going to throw it away or what ? I prayed to thelord and had the fish cooked, and I am alive to tell the tale today.

2)      SOS From ISS – Send Pumber – TOI 29/5/08

The International Space Station ( ISS ) lone toilet is broken,leaving the crew with no where to go.So when Discovery visits it next week, a plumber is expected to go and fix it there.

My Comments

But these are Russian and American scientists at work up.Why worry if the toilet dosnt work.Be like the Indians, every wall is yr toilet, but here since there are no walls, u can pee in space, what an expierence that must be really, knowing the whole earth is down there, as also the other planets nearby.Many people would pay to go up, and do this for a big price really.

This is the picture i clicked in Jakarta,Indonesia in a toilet, where they wanted to say that save Water.This picture is apt for the astronauts whose toilet is not working up there.

You can see me clicking the pic

   



At the Mumbai Airport i found this kid having a good time, and took his pic.Avoided the mom's, i dont want to hauled up by the cops u see.I am a decent chap.He loved being in the trolley, and listening to music.Heaven eh !




This is the view from my room in Mumbai Worli Sea Face.I just love being in the room, having tea, and reading some novel, with the lovely sea breeze coming in.dont feel like going anywhere really.And i can see right from Nariman Point to Sea Rock,Bandra, no big buidlings in front of ours, just the small ones.

and now it will be rains in June, with the waves coming over the shore, and i will go and stand there under them and get drenched, its been years since ive done that.And with the lovely Hilsa Fish my mom will feed me, with Prawns, and other delicasies, life should be heaven.


Who dosnt know Micheal Pinto in Mumbai.they have some of the best one liners i ahve ever read.
And here they say they can send Ashes by courier too.anybody want some ? Let me know

They had one advt which was my favourite

When you Drop Dead,Drop in.

The other one was something like this.

We are the last persons to let you Lie in Peace.

If i was the boss of this , i would have a new poem like this

When somebody of yours Drops Dead,
Come to Pinto's, we will dress the hair on his head,
We will dress him with the help of a pretty Nurse,
The prettier she is, lighter will be your Purse.

Chicks Chicks Chicks

I had gone to  a Tailoring unit of ours , and just outside it there was this chap on a cycle selling baby chickens.The small ones were like  6 for 50/- and the big ones like  2 for 50/-.The chciks were of various colours, very cute, and i asked the fellow do people eat them ? He said no they just keep them as pets .

And the best part was kids were bargaining with the fellow " Bhaiya 25 mein 4 de do etc.And even the elders were bargaining.

My friend told me this guy was expensive.You still get them for like 3 or 4 bucks in the cuty per chick.I said what if i eat them.He said they are so small, even a 100 wont fill u Kamal.thats where i stopped dreaming.Cute Chicks.

 


Well i hope u are sleeping by now.This is a long one.Have exhaused all the photos in my arsenal, and will now have to take more , soi be ready for next week.Bye and Ciao.
