Sardar's Interview
One young
man went for an IAS Interview.
"When
did India get independence?" he was asked. "The
efforts began a few years earlier and final result
was in 1947" he replied. "Who was responsible
for our independence?". "There were so many. Whom
to mention?. If I name one it will be a injustice
to another." He replied." Is corruption
the number one enemy in our country?"."Some research
is going on the subject and I can answer with certainty
only after seeing the report" He replied.
The interview board was very pleased with his original and
thoughtful answers and asked him not to reveal the questions
to others, since they were planning to ask the same questions.
When he went out naturally others were curious to know what
was asked. He politely declined, but one persistent Sardar
would not leave him.
"At least tell me the answers" he pleaded,
and our friend obliged. Then it was the turn of this Sardar.
When he went inside, since his resume was slightly illegible,
the board member asked him."By the way, what is your
date of birth?" He replied, "The effort began
a few years earlier and final result was in 1947."
Somewhat puzzled, they asked another clarification. "What
is your fathers name?" He replied, "There were
so many. Whom to mention". If I name one it will be
injustice to another" The interviewer was incensed.
"Hey! are you mad or what?" He replied. "Some
research is going on the subject. I can answer with certainty
only after seeing the report."

The
little girl
One day a
little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes
at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother
had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast
on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively
asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mom?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something
wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while
and then said, "Momma, how come ALL of grandma's hairs
are white?"

The
survey
Recently
a worldwide survey was conducted by UN. The question asked
was "Would you please give your opinion about the food
shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey became a big flop. Because...
In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant
In Western Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant.
In Eastern Europe they didn't know what 'opinion' meant
In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant.
And in US they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant
