Masti: Sardar Jokes

Dangerous Buddy A paki goes to the doctor and as he touches every part of her body with her finger she says, "Doctor it hurts everywhere. My leg hurts, my arm hurts, my neck hurts, and even my head hurts!" The doctor asks, "Where you ever a friends with a Sardar?" "Yes I was." he replies. "why do you ask?" The doctor answers, "because your finger is broken!"


Dead Bird A Sardar and a paki were walking outside when the paki said, "Oh look at the dead bird." The Sardar looked skyward and said, "Where, where?"


This is is a letter from a sardarji mother to her son at school ... Pyaarey Puttar, Vahe Guru. I am writing this letter slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from your home, so we moved! I won't be able to give you the address as the last sardar who stayed in this house took the numbers with them for their next house, so they wouldnt have to change their address. This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure it works too well, last week I put in three shirts and pulled the chain and I HAVE NOT SEEN THEM SINCE. THE weather here isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first it rained for three days and the second time for four days. The coat you wanted me to send you, your aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket. We got another bill from the funeral home. It said that if we don't make the last payment on GRANDMA'S FUNERAL, she will come up again. Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass in the cemetery. Your sister had a baby this morning, I havent found out whether it is a boy or girl, so I don't know whether you are an aunt or uncle! Your uncle jatindar fell into a whiskey vat. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for 3 days. Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pick-up truck. One was driving and the other two were in the back. the driver got out, he rolled down the window and swam to safety. the other 2 friends drowned because they couldn't get the gate down. there isn't much more news at this time. nothing much has happened. love, mom p.s. i was going to send you some money, but the envelope was already sealed.

Cricket: Beckham back to get England on track

David Beckham gets a chance to put England's Euro 2008 qualifying campaign back on track against Estonia on Wednesday after a stirring return to the national side. Dropped after last year's World Cup by newly-installed coach Steve McClaren, the 32-year-old made an impressive comeback in Friday's 1-1 friendly draw with Brazil and is almost certain to start in Tallinn. McClaren's men certainly need the kind of Beckham cross which lined up John Terry, his successor as England captain, to open the scoring in the Wembley draw. Wayne Rooney [Images] is suspended, strike partner Michael Owen [Images] still lacks sharpness after long-term injury and Alan Smith made little impression against Brazil. It leaves a side who have hit nine goals in six qualifiers - eight of them against hapless Andorra - in need of goalscoring help from midfield and even defence. England's qualifying campaign is stalling badly, particularly in the wake of last weekend's results for their Group E rivals.

Business: Why is there no social component in startups in India.

What we lack is a medium of interaction. We talk about Techcrunch and how it empowers the startups in the valley, but the part that we miss is that the valley is well connected. Not on the internet, but also off it. Consider this. This February I decided to start working full time on an idea. I went looking for experienced entrepreneurs to get some idea about issues I had never thought about before, like pricing the product, or how to get a team together. Or what about financials, how to get the marketing strategy together. But the worst news was that I found none. The only couple of guys I met were those who did try to startup but the companies eventually closed down without making any money.
