Head honcho of the $16.5 billion Reliance Industries Limited, Mukesh Ambani

role in India 's 1998 nuclear weapons tests established Kalam as a national
hero. For all his work in his present capacity as President of the world's
largest de mocracy, Kalam draws an annual remuneration of Rs 6,00,000 or Rs
1.14 per minute.

DON'T start calculating your salary. Such currency (fraction of paise) is yet to be invented.

Three Worst Men

There were three men competing to see who the worst one in the world is.

The first one attacked a woman and raped her so savagely that she fainted. He turned to the others and said, "I am the worst one of all."

The second man stepped up and beat her until her teeth fell out and she bled from her nose and ears until she was almost dead. He turned to the others and said, "No one can be worse than me."

The third one stepped up, smiled coldly, and said, "No, I am the worst one even though I just stood by and watched, because this woman is my sister.

The woman here represents Lebanon and Palestine.
The first man is Israel.
The second is America & the West.
The third is the Arab world that stood by and did nothing.
