Ministers and movies

The Maharashtra Government ministers will watch the latest money grossing Aamir Khan movie "3 Idiots" to see if it has influenced students in the KEM ragging case. Given what is happeneing everyday, how many different movies must the ministers watch ? And when will they govern ? (Link)

Ragging has been going on for years,
Reducing sincere students, to tears,
To avoid events like these
The minister, 3 Idiots" sees,
There will be no action, a parent fears....

Life as in movies OR movies depicting life,
Violence and Corruption at the point of a knife,
Womanizing and molesting
They seem to be testing
The patience of the citizens facing this strife

Lacking implementation , are the laws,
The government blind to all its own flaws,
Indiscipline is in season,
Cinema cant be the only reason,
Have they ever investigated, the actual cause ?

The case of the Veldona Lozenge

Scientists in Australia have developed a lozenge contain very small amounts of Inreferon Alpha, that works against all flus and colds including swine flu. (Link)

The pharmaceuticals are really upset,
Profit margins havent been met,
With the swine and flu,
Coming to a city near you,
Selling vaccine was going to be a sure bet.

Now an Aussie prof simply comes by,
And shows a lozenge you can try,
100% cheaper and new,
Now you dont need Tamiflu,
And the vaccines are left high and dry...

The Sound of Earworm

Earworms are those songs that get lodged in your cranium, playing over and over and over. There's been surprisingly little published research on the phenomenon, although that hasn't stopped popular science writers like Oliver Sacks from speculating about it. There's an 'expert' in the form of Professor James Kellaris at the University of Cincinnati, but his investigations all appear to be unpublished. That hasn't stopped Kellaris' university from hosting a website devoted to earworms. And there's also an online earworm exhibition at San Francisco's Exploratorium. [Link]

A scientist James Kellaris invented a term

My humming song he called an 'Earworm'

Imagine someone who hums

A song when earworm squirms!

Zoologist are you, James? Let's confirm!

Faster methods

Demands for smaller states across the country. Leaders adopt "fasts unto death". (LINK)

Bundelkhand, Harit Pradesh and Purvanchal from Uttar Pradesh
A state each for Garos and Khasis from Meghalaya
Gorkhaland from West Bengal
Bodoland from Assam
Coorg in Karnataka
Vidarbha in Maharashtra
Saurashtra in Gujarat
Mithilanchal in Bihar
Mahakosala in Orissa
Ladakh & Jammu in J&K

Want your own kingdom ? Just undertake a fast,
The threats have always worked in the past,
Have guys run helter skelter,
Aided by maybe a stone pelter,
Burn some buses and maybe have a blast....

Leaders in ICCUs, oxygen at the nose,
Thinking what a great victory over all the foes,
With Z seciurity cover,
And the Doctors hover,
They sleep as outside others come to blows...

Yet what of the farmer, troubled by the rain,
Sometimes none, and then a flood yet again,
Its another interminable wait,
Nothing achieved by a new state,
The ordinary man just carries on with the pain.....

Cathedral statues replace shoes as weapons

Italian Premier hit by a statue of the Milan Cathedral . Now in hospital with a broken nose, broken teeth and cut lips. LINK


First the fashion was throwing shoes,
Then the definition turned a bit loose,
Now statues are the latest,
For impact they're the greatest,
From where to hurl, you can always choose

A cathedral statue is real dense,
As a weapon it makes good sense,
The Italin PM sure has foes,
They threw and broke his nose,
Captured nicely on a telephoto lense....

The Dirty Truth About Health

It's said that cleanliness is next to godliness -- but super-clean parenting can put kids at risk of developing heart disease, a new study has revealed. Researchers have carried out the study and found that assiduous attention to cleanliness depresses a developing immune system, which can lead to cardiovascular problems in kids later in life. [Link]

There was a beauty from Adelaid

Who never saw her Doctor, she said

"You're healthy and pretty

'Cause you are so dirty"

Says the research of Thomas McDade!
