WORLD NATIONS


A world wide survey was conducted by the UN.

The only question askedwas:

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the foodshortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure,

In Africa they didn't know what 'food'meant,

In India they didn't know what 'honest' meant,

In Europe theydidn't know what 'shortage' meant,

In China they didn't know what'opinion' meant,

In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant,

In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant, And

in theUSA they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant!

SUPPORT GOVT ON PETROL PRICE HIKE!



I filled up my bike's fuel tank, and I thought fuel has become really expensive after the recent price hike.

But then I compared it with other common liquids and did some quick calculations, and I felt a little better.

To know why, see the results below - you'll be surprised at how outrageous some other prices are !

Diesel (regular) in Mumbai : Rs.36.08 per litre

Petrol (speed) in Mumbai : Rs.52 per litre

Coca Cola 330 ml can : Rs.20 = Rs.61 per litre

Dettol antiseptic 100 ml Rs.20 = Rs.200 per litre

Radiator coolant 500 ml Rs.160 = Rs.320 per litre

Pantene conditioner 400 ml Rs.165 = Rs.413 per litre

Medicinal mouthwash like Listerine 100 ml Rs.45 = Rs. 450 per litre

Red Bull 150 ml can : Rs.75 = Rs.500 per litre

Corex cough syrup 100 ml Rs.57 = Rs. 570 per litre

Evian water 500 ml Rs. 330 = Rs. 660 per litre Rs. 660 for a litre of WATER???!!! And the buyers don't even know the source (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)

Kores whiteout 15 ml Rs. 15 = Rs. 1000 per litre

Cup of coffee at any decent business hotel 100 ml Rs. 50 => Rs. 500 per litre

Old Spice after shave lotion 100 ml Rs. 175 = Rs. 1750 per litre

Pure almond oil 25 ml Rs. 68 = Rs. 2720 per litre

And this is the REAL KICKER...

HP deskjet colour ink cartridge 21 ml Rs.1900 = Rs.. 90476 per litre!!!

Now you know why computer printers are so cheap ? So they have you hooked for the ink !


So, the next time you're at the pump, don't curse our honorable Petroleum minister - just be glad your car doesn't run on cough syrup, after shave, coffee, or God forbid, printer ink !

When Income Tax slab were increased and overall benefit one got was almost 12000 Rs. in a year, tax saving.

In comparision to this, 50 Rs increase in per lpg cylindar would cost yearly average of> 600 Rs. would n't pinch Indian Middle Class.....So support this Government and Brave Manmahon Singh for taking this right step.
