A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said:"I
God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the
street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?
Would there be abandoned children?
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an
untrimmed beard.
He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and
he said to the barber:

> is the richest country in the world!
> Wondering how? It's really amazing.

1) Don't put your mobile closer to your ears until the recipient answers, Because directly after
dialing, the mobile phone would use it's maximum signaling power, which is: 2watts = 33dbi.
Please Be Careful. Please use left ear while using cell (mobile), because if you use the right
one it may affect brain directly. This is a true fact from Apollo medical team.

NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME TO MAKE YOUR REGULAR ANUUAL GOOD RESOLUTIONS
NEXT WEEK YOU CAN BEGIN PROVING HELL WITH THEM AS USUAL...
anything, DO YOU? YOU wouldn't dare to eat in public during Ramadan, in Dubai . YOU would not dare
to go out without your head covered in Jeddah.
YOU would not dare to buy an employee of the telephone exchange in London at 10 pounds (Rs.650) a
month to, 'see to it that my STD and ISD calls are billed to someone else.'YOU would not dare to speed
beyond 55 mph (88 km/h) in Washington and then tell the traffic cop, 'Jaanta hai main kaun hoon (Do you
know who I am?). I am so and so's son. Take your two bucks and get lost.' YOU wouldn't chuck an empty
coconut shell anywhere other than the garbage pail on the beaches in Australia and New Zealand .
Why don't YOU spit Paan on the streets of Tokyo ? Why don't YOU use examination jockeys or buy fake
certificates in Boston ??? We are still talking of the same YOU. YOU who can respect and conform to a
foreign system in other countries but cannot in your own. You who will throw papers and cigarettes on the
road the moment you touch Indian ground. If you can be an involved and appreciative citizen in an alien
country, why cannot you be the same here in India ?
In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan .
Will the Indian citizen do that here?' He's right. We go to the polls to choose a government and after that
forfeit all responsibility.
We sit back wanting to be pampered and expect the government to do everything for us whilst our
contribution is totally negative. We expect the government to clean up but we are not going to stop
chucking garbage all over the place nor are we going to stop to pick a up a stray piece of paper and
throw it in the bin. We expect the railways to provide clean bathrooms but we are not going to learn the
proper use of bathrooms.
We want Indian Airlines and Air India to provide the best of food and toiletries but we are not going to stop
pilfering at the least opportunity.
This applies even to the staff who is known not to pass on the service to the public.
When it comes to burning social issues like those related to women, dowry, girl child! and others, we
make loud drawing room protestations and continue to do the reverse at home. Our excuse? 'It's the
whole system which has to change, how will it matter if I alone forego my sons' rights to a dowry.' So
who's going to change the system?
What does a system consist of? Very conveniently for us it consists of our neighbours, other households,
other cities, other communities and the government. But definitely not me and YOU. When it comes to us
actually making a positive contribution to the system we lock ourselves along with our families into a safe
cocoon and look into the distance at countries far away and wait for a Mr.Clean to come along & work
miracles for us with a majestic sweep of his hand or we leave the country and run away.
Like lazy cowards hounded by our fears we run to America to bask in their glory and praise their system.
When New York becomes insecure we run to England . When England experiences unemployment, we
take the next flight out to the Gulf. When the Gulf is war struck, we demand to be rescued and brought
home by the Indian government. Everybody is out to abuse and rape the country. Nobody thinks of
feeding the system. Our conscience is mortgaged to money.
Dear Indians, The article is highly thought inductive, calls for a great deal of introspection and pricks
one's conscience too. I am echoing J. F. Kennedy's words to his fellow Americans to relate to
Indians..
