Leisure Reading - Stunning Indian - Vinoth Kumar
A small talk, about the delay in arriving to office in India, between an Indian and an American.
Indian: Hi Sir, Good Morning.
American: Hi, Meeting is scheduled at 10 am. But I wonder, Why Indians show up only at 11 am.
Indian: It is our National Problem Sir; I will give you a detailed explanation.
American: Yeah, Tell me.
Indian: You Americans will have a brand new BMW/ AUDI/ FERRARI….etc; cars (in USA) and reach office at 100 mph in 15 mins (even though office is morethan 30 km far away). Even while raining you will switch on your wiper and go.
But we Indians in India, need to struggle and walk to Bus Stand for nearly 1.5 km from our house, Which is similar to a jungle safari in Amazon Rainforest (during rainy days)
When we arrive at Bus stand, Bus will arrive delayed with morethan 120 people in it, which has the capacity of only 60 passengers.
Eventhough we come by bike/ car, there is no chance of shifting gears beyond 3rd, because of the ditches and dumps in the roads, which look similar to the craters in mars.
You guys drive vehicles only on the roads, but we need to drive through rivers, lakes, ponds and sometimes even through oceans during rainy days.
And moreover, the traffic rules in USA will remain standard for years, but in my country it is like the sales ratio during festivals, which keep on changing twice a month.
Is this Explanation enough?
American: Oh Oh Oh ! Enough ! Funny Indians.
Indian: Not Funny Indians, We are Stunny Indians.
10 Things You Never Knew About: Mickey Mouse
10 Things You Never Knew About: Mickey Mouse
"I hope that we never lose sight of one thing--that it was all started by a Mouse." - Walt Disney
Fact One: Mickey was not the first-choice name for Walt Disney's soon-to-be-epic character. In fact, when Disney first sketched him on a train with his wife Lillian, he envisioned him being called 'Mortimer Mouse.' However, his wife didn't like the name and thus, 'Mickey' was born.

A Church Made with Bones
A Church Made with Bones
There is a creepy crypt under a church in Rome that has two names, Our Lady of the Conception of the Capuchins and Santa Maria Della Concezione. This church's designer was Antonio Casoni. The crypt is decorated with skeletal remains that once belonged to 4,000 friars and were collected between 1528 and 1870. Now these human bones are arranged in ornaments. This Capuchin Crypt is a well-known ossuary that attracts tourists from all over the world. It has several rooms, and you can glance inside them after the jump.
