Matters
Many
rooms in the Taj
Mahal have remained sealed since Shah Jahan's

inaccessible to the public. Oak asserts they contain
a headless
statue of Shiva and other objects commonly used for
worship rituals in Hindu temples

Green
Planet
Ancient forests
provide the world with clean, fresh water, support as much as 90% of
the earth's land-based species, and play a critical role in shaping
the world's climate. Yet every two seconds a forest zone the size of
a soccer pitch is logged or burned.

Legendary
Deaths
One of the most
notorious villains in history, Attila's army had conquered all
of Asia by 450 AD--from Mongolia to the edge of the Russian
Empire--by destroying villages and pillaging the countryside.
How he died: He got a nosebleed on his wedding night

Terorisom
Despite the continued
activities of some Marxist and Maoist groups in India, Nepal, the
Philippines, Japan and some countries of Latin America, terrorism
inspired by ideology is on the decline after the collapse of the
communist state in the erstwhile USSR and other countries of East
Europe.

Pak
Jokes
A big Sardar walked
into a bar with his pet tiger on a leash and asked the bartender,
"Do you serve Pakistanis here?". "Sure we do,"
replied the bartender. "Good," said the Sardar. "Give
me a beer, and one Pakistani for my tiger."

Sardarji
Special
Our sardarji was
filling up an application form for a job. He promptly filled the
columns titled NAME, AGE, ADDRESS etc. Then he came to the column
Salary Expected. He was not sure as to what to be filled there.
After much thought he wrote, Yes.
