Delivered:
Sardar sent a SMS to his pregnant wife. Two seconds later a report came
to his phone and he started dancing. The report said, "DELIVERED".
Smart Sardarji:
A Sardarji and an American are seated next to each other on a flight
from Los Angeles to New York. The American asks if he would like to play
a fun game.
The Sardarji, tired, just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines
and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The American persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of
fun. He says, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer,
you pay me five dollars, and vice versa."
Again, he declines and tries to get some sleep.
The American, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer,
you pay me $5,and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."
This catches the Sardarji's attention and, figuring there will be no end
to this torment, agrees to the game.
The American asks the first question: "What's the distance from the
earth to the moon?"
The Sardarji doesn't say a word, reaches into his wallet,pulls out a
$5.00 bill, and hands it to the American.
"Okay," says the American, "your turn".
He asks, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four
legs?"
The American, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer & searches all his
preferences........no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem
and searches the Internet and the Library of Congress... no answer.
Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers but to no
avail.
After an hour, he wakes the Sardarji and hands him $500.
The Sardarji thanks him and turns back to get some more sleep.
The American, who is more than a little miffed, stirs the Sardarji and
asks, "Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, the Sardarji reaches into his purse,hands the american
$5,and goes back to sleep.
Sardarji Jokes:
A sardarji comes up to the Pakistan border on his bike. He's got two
large bags over his shoulders.
The guard Iqbal stops him and says, 'What's in the bags?' 'Sand,'
answered the Sardarji.
Iqbal says, 'We'll just see about that. Get off the bike.'
Iqbal's guard takes the bags and rips them apart, he empties them out
and finds nothing in them but sand. He detains the sardarji all night
and has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is nothing but
pure sand in the bags. Iqbal releases the sardaji, puts the sand into
new bags, hefts them onto the sardarji's shoulders, and lets him cross
the border.
A week later, the same thing happens. Iqbal asks, 'What have you got?'
'Sand,' says the Sardarji.
Iqbal does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain
nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to the Sardar, and crosses the
border on his bike. This sequence of events is repeated every day for
three years.
Finally, the Sardarji doesn't show up one day and the guard, Iqbal,
meets him in a 'Dhaba' in Islamabad.
'Hey, Buddy,' says Iqbal, 'I know you are smuggling something. It's
driving me crazy. It's all I think about...I can't sleep. Just between
you and me, what are you smuggling?'
The Sardaji, sips his Lassi and says, 'Bikes'
Race to the Sun:
Two Sardarjis, both student of I.I.T, Kanpur, were talking about the
American Astronauts.
One said to the other, "What's the big deal about going to the
moon-anybody can go to the moon. We are sardars we will go direct to the
sun."
"But if we get within 13 million miles from the sun, we'll melt."
And the first answered, "So what, we'll go at night."
Did man really set foot on the moon? Shocking : See what NASA has done (Long but worth reading)
Did man really walk on the Moon or was it the ultimate camera trick, asks David Milne?
In the early hours of May 16, 1990, after a week spent watching old video footage of man on the Moon, a thought was turning into an obsession in the mind of Ralph Rene.
"How can the flag be fluttering?" the 47 year old American kept asking himself when there's no wind on the atmosphere free Moon? That moment was to be the beginning of an incredible Space odyssey for the self- taught engineer from New Jersey.
He started investigating the Apollo Moon landings, scouring every NASA film, photo and report with a growing sense of wonder, until finally reaching an awesome conclusion: America had never put a man on the Moon. The giant leap for mankind was fake.
It is of course the conspiracy theory to end all conspiracy theories. But Rene has now put all his findings into a startling book entitled NASA Mooned America. Published by himself, it's being sold by mail order - and is a compelling read.
The story lifts off in 1961 with Russia firing Yuri Gagarin into space, leaving a panicked America trailing in the space race. At an emergency meeting of Congress, President Kennedy proposed the ultimate face saver, put a man on the Moon. With an impassioned speech he secured the plan an unbelievable 40 billion dollars.
And so, says Rene (and a growing number of astro-physicists are beginning to agree with him), the great Moon hoax was born. Between 1969 and 1972, seven Apollo ships headed to the Moon. Six claim to have made it, with the ill fated Apollo 13 - whose oxygen tanks apparently exploded halfway being the only casualties. But with the exception of the known rocks, which could have been easily mocked up in a lab, the photographs and film footage are the only proof that the Eagle ever landed. And Rene believes they're fake.
For a start, he says, the TV footage was hopeless. The world tuned in to watch what looked like two blurred white ghosts throw rocks and dust. Part of the reason for the low quality was that, strangely, NASA provided no direct link up. So networks actually had to film man's greatest achievement from a TV screen in Houston - a deliberate ploy, says Rene, so that nobody could properly examine it.
By contrast, the still photos were stunning. Yet that's just the problem. The astronauts took thousands of pictures, each one perfectly exposed and sharply focused. Not one was badly composed or even blurred.
As Rene points out, that's not all: The cameras had no white meters or view ponders. So the astronauts achieved this feet without being able to see what they were doing. There film stock was unaffected by the intense peaks and powerful cosmic radiation on the Moon, conditions that should have made it useless. They managed to adjust their cameras, change film and swap filters in pressurized suits. It should have been almost impossible with the gloves on their fingers.
Award winning British photographer David Persey is convinced the pictures are fake. His astonishing findings are explained alongside the pictures on these pages, but the basic points are as follows: The shadows could only have been created with multiple light sources and,in particular, powerful spotlights. But the only light source on the Moon was the sun.
The American flag and the words "United States" are always Brightly lit, even when everything around is in shadow. Not one still picture matches the film footage, yet NASA claims both were shot at the same time.
The pictures are so perfect, each one would have taken a slick advertising agency hours to put them together. But the astronauts managed it repeatedly. David Persey believes the mistakes were deliberate, left there by "whistle blowers" who were keen for the truth to one day get out.
If Persey is right and the pictures are fake, then we've only NASA's word that man ever went to the Moon. And, asks Rene, "Why would anyone fake pictures of an event that actually happened?"
The questions don't stop there. Outer space is awash with deadly radiation that emanates from solar flares firing out from the sun. Standard astronauts orbiting earth in near space, like those who recently fixed the Hubble telescope, are protected by the earth's Van Allen belt. But the Moon is to 240,000 miles distant, way outside this safe band. And, during the Apollo flights, astronomical data shows there were no less than 1,485 such flares.
John Mauldin, a physicist who works for NASA, once said shielding at least two meters thick would be needed. Yet the walls of the Lunar Landers which took astronauts from the spaceship to the moons surface were, said NASA, about the thickness of heavy duty aluminum foil.
How could that stop this deadly radiation? And if the astronauts were protected by their space suits, why didn't rescue workers use such protective gear at the Chernobyl meltdown, which released only a fraction of the dose astronauts would encounter? Not one Apollo astronaut ever contracted cancer - not even the Apollo 16 crew who were on their way to the Moon when a big flare started. "They should have been fried", says Rene.
Furthermore, every Apollo mission before number 11 (the first to the Moon) was plagued with around 20,000 defects a-piece. Yet, with the exception of Apollo 13, NASA claims there wasn't one major technical problem on any of their Moon missions. Just one effect could have blown the whole thing. "The odds against these are so unlikely that God must have been the co-pilot," says Rene.
Several years after NASA claimed its first Moon landing, Buzz Aldrin "the second man on the Moon" was asked at a banquet what it felt like to step on to the lunar surface. Aldrin staggered to his feet and left the room crying uncontrollably. It would not be the last time he did this. "It strikes me he's suffering from trying to live out a very big lie," says Rene. Aldrin may also fear for his life.
Virgil Grissom, a NASA astronaut who baited the Apollo program, was due to pilot Apollo 1 as part of the landings build up. In January 1967, he hung a lemon on his Apollo capsule (in the US, unroadworthy cars are called lemons) and told his wife Betty: "If there is ever a serious accident in the space program, it's likely to be me."
Nobody knows what fuelled his fears, but by the end of the month he and his two co-pilots were dead, burnt to death during a test run when their capsule, pumped full of high pressure pure oxygen, exploded.
Scientists couldn't believe NASA's carelessness - even a chemistry students in high school know high pressure oxygen is extremely explosive. In fact, before the first manned Apollo fight even cleared the launch pad, a total of 11 would be astronauts were dead. Apart from the three who were incinerated, seven died in plane crashes and one in a car smash. Now this is
a spectacular accident rate."One wonders if these 'accidents' weren't NASA's way of correcting mistakes," says Rene. "Of saying that some of these men didn't have the sort of 'right stuff' they were looking."
NASA wont respond to any of these claims, their press office will only say that the Moon landings happened and the pictures are real. But a NASA public affairs officer called Julian Scheer once delighted 200 guests at a private party with footage of astronauts apparently on a landscape. It had been made on a mission film set and was identical to what NASA claimed was they real lunar landscape. "The purpose of this film," Scheer told the enthralled group, "is to indicate that you really can fake things on the ground, almost to the point of deception." He then invited his audience to "Come to your own decision about whether or not man actually did walk on the Moon."
A sudden attack of honesty? You bet, says Rene, who claims the only real thing about the Apollo missions were the lift offs. "The astronauts simply have to be on board," he says, "in case the rocket exploded. It was the easiest way to ensure NASA wasn't left with three astronauts who ought to be dead." he claims, adding that they came down a day or so later, out of the
public eye (global surveillance wasn't what it is now) and into the safe hands of NASA officials, who whisked them off to prepare for the big day a week later.And now NASA is planning another giant step - Project Outreach, a 1 trillion dollar manned mission to Mars. "Think what they'll be able to mock up with today's computer graphics," says Rene Chillingly. "Special effects was in its infancy in the 60s. This time round will have no way of determining the truth."
9 SPACE ODDITIES:
1. Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven air flow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air.
2. A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Landerlifting off the Moon. Who did the filming?
3. One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who took the shot?
4. The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.
5. The Moon landings took place during the Cold War. Why didn't America make a signal on the moon that could be seen from earth? The PR would have been phenomenal and it could have been easily done with magnesium flares.
6. Text from pictures in the article said that only two men walked on the Moon during the Apollo 12 mission. Yet the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera. Who took the shot?
7. The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his shadow? And why is the flag fluttering if there is no air or wind on the moon?
8. How can the flag be brightly lit when its side is to the light? And where, in all of these shots, are the stars?
9. The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust. The powerful booster rocket at the base of the Lunar Lander was fired to slow descent to the moons service. Yet it has left no traces of blasting on the dust underneath. It should have created a small crater, yet the booster looks like it's never been fired.

HARD WORK AND DETERMAINATION PAYS!!
Naga Naresh Karutura has just passed out of IIT Madras in
Computer Science and has joined Google in Bangalore .
You may ask, what's so special about this 21-year-old when there
are hundreds of students passing out from various IITs and
joining big companies like Google?
Naresh is special. His parents are illiterate. He has no legs
and moves around in his powered wheel chair. (In fact, when I
could not locate his lab, he told me over the mobile phone, 'I
will come and pick you up'. And in no time, he was there to
guide me)
Ever smiling, optimistic and full of spirit; that is Naresh. He
says, "God has always been planning things for me. That is why I
feel I am lucky."
Read why Naresh feels he is lucky.
Childhood in a village
Looking back, one thing that surprises me now is the way my
father taught me when I was in the 1st and 2nd standards. My
father would ask me questions from the text book, and I would
answer them. At that time, I didn't know he could not read or
write but to make me happy, he helped me in my studies!
Another memory that doesn't go away is the floods in the village
and how I was carried on top of a buffalo by my uncle. I also
remember plucking fruits from a tree that was full of thorns.
I used to be very naughty, running around and playing all the
time with my friends. I used to get a lot of scolding for
disturbing the elders who slept in the afternoon. The moment
they started scolding, I would run away to the fields!
I also remember finishing my school work fast in class and
sleeping on the teacher's lap!
January 11, 1993, the fateful day
It was my fault; I fiddled with the door latch and it opened
wide throwing me out. As I fell, my legs got cut by the iron
rods protruding from the lorry. Nothing happened to me except
scratches on my legs.
The accident had happened just in front of a big private
hospital but they refused to treat me saying it was an accident
case. Then a police constable who was passing by took us to a
government hospital.
First I underwent an operation as my small intestine got
twisted. The doctors also bandaged my legs. I was there for a
week. When the doctors found that gangrene had developed and it
had reached up to my knees, they asked my father to take me to a
district hospital. There, the doctors scolded my parents a lot
for neglecting the wounds and allowing the gangrene to develop.
But what could my ignorant parents do?
In no time, both my legs were amputated up to the hips.
I remember waking up and asking my mother, where are my legs? I
also remember that my mother cried when I asked the question. I
was in the hospital for three months.
Life without legs
|
Words are inadequate to express my gratitude to Prof Pandurangan
and all my lab mates; all were simply great. I was sent to
Boston along with four others for our internship by Prof
Pandurangan. It was a great experience.
Joining Google R&D
Morgan Stanley selected me first but I preferred Google because
I wanted to work in pure computer science, algorithms and game
theory.
I am lucky
I get help from total strangers without me asking for it. Once
after my second year at IIT, I with some of my friends was
travelling in a train for a conference. We met a kind gentleman
called Sundar in the train, and he has been taking care of my
hostel fees from then on.
I have to mention about Jaipur foot. I had Jaipur foot when I
was in 3rd standard. After two years, I stopped using them. As I
had almost no stems on my legs, it was very tough to tie them to
the body. I found walking with Jaipur foot very, very slow.
Sitting also was a problem. I found my tricycle faster because I
am one guy who wants to do things faster.
One great thing about the hospital is, they don't think their
role ends by just fixing the Jaipur foot; they arrange for
livelihood for all. They asked me what help I needed from them.
I told them at that time, if I got into an IIT, I needed
financial help from them. So, from the day I joined IIT, Madras
, my fees were taken care of by them. So, my education at the
IIT was never a burden on my parents and they could take care of
my sister's Nursing studies.
Surprise awaited me at IIT
I got a letter from my department that they had arranged a lift
and ramps at the department for me. It also said that if I came
a bit early and checked whether it met with my requirements, it
would be good.
Second surprise was, the Dean, Prof Idichandy and the Students
General Secretary, Prasad had located a place that sold powered
wheel chairs. The cost was Rs 55,000. What they did was, they
did not buy the wheel chair; they gave me the money so that the
wheel chair belonged to me and not the institute.
My life changed after that. I felt free and independent.
That's why I say I am lucky. God has planned things for me and
takes care of me at every step.
The world is full of good people |
