A visit to neighborhood "desi" store enlightened me about the dal crisis which we would endure for the next few months. The prices have skyrocketed. It seems the crop failed in india and so the govt. has banned export of dals.
This used to be our staple diet as grad students. Any desi student would vouch for the mastery he attained in cooking dal. We were proud to have invented a variety of homegrown recipes like thin "watery" dal, thick "gravy" dal, spicy dal, well cooked "burnt" dal and the rest is left to creative thinking ability of the readers. One of my rommie was so obsessed with dal that he used to cook it without fail during each and every cooking turn he had. "Happy" r u listening ? :)
Especially for vegans like me, this is a good source of protiens. So for the time being get used to buyin these "DALS" at a premium price.

Technical Support for Wives
Dear Tech Support
6 months back I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the Flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as: Football 5.0, Basketball 4.3 and Cricket 3.0.
Conversation 8.0 no longer runs; it simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, to no avail. What can I do?

Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.
Try entering the command: C:/I-THOUGHT-YOU-LOVED-ME to download Tears 6.2, which should automatically install Guilt 3.0. If that application works as designed Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5. But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 1.
WARNING: Beer 6.1 is a very nasty program that will create Snoring Loudly.
CAUTION: Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law. This is not a supported application and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.
You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck, Tech Support.

Salaam Mumbai
Around 200 people killed.
More than 400 injured.
Targetting the lifeline "local trains" of Mumbai during the peak hours.
Well whats the point that these so called militants are tryin to drive through.
Create rift and communal disharmony ? This city of mine has seen and endured enough.
These militants should be hanged without any trial. Why waste the tax payer's money. The 1993 blasts trial is still going on..
May all the departed souls rest in peace.
Will the people ever get justice or as rightly said by Sunny Deol in Damini

Gates, Buffet and the list should go on....
Kudos to Gates and Buffet for donating mammoth sums for problems affecting the world.
Other people who are lucky to have amassed vast wealth should follow their steps.
As per our capacity we should do our bit for humanity after all "Charity Begins at Home"
I hope our own Lakshmi Mittal joins this elite group.. Mr Mittal are u listening ??
