You should be definitely a great professional like the masters from the mobile ringtones or monophonic ringtones providers, to finish your nice information. Not any common man can.
For those under the impression that NRI's shun India and do nothing for their country, should study the state of 'Gujrat'. Most of the funding for creating businesses and indusrtial development is done by non-resident gujratis. Ofcourse much needs to be done on the bureaucracy involved and is being done.

After 60 years though a lot has changed yet the differences in the mind surge and inevitably the discrimination happens at the work place.
They couldnt protect their homeland from outside Invaders the country is just being projected as the Country of Gods. The high flyers in the US, UK (So called Successful NRIS) dont treat the fellow indians with respect. They have their own inhibitions and reservations and easily blend to the western lifestyle with absolute disregard to the abject poverty back home. So people seeing money drift and start converting their faiths because of additional difficulties.
When it boils down to money even the closest Indian begins to act to ones detriment. There is a huge burden in terms of the corporate talent and heavy competition drives them crazy to even change ones faith.
I would definitely Rate China as superior to India in terms of these factors....
"Awwww Novi, did you have to say that????
Now I will have to picture you gulping down fish eye balls every time we have coffee!!!! Not nice, really!"

Good Night Mystica

CharanSanitwong arranged to meet people for a drink at Orion this evening, I though you went out with them too.
One time I was desperate (not house husband) and decided to cook duck at home. Opted for sweet and sour duck.
Ended up eating it all alone. They "love" me at home to the extent they did not like to try it :(((((((((

Yes we do missed assam fish head in Singapore ... my favourite part is the fish eye balls :D
there are two Thai restaurant in Al Mirqab street.
1. Used to be call Thai Snack now Amjad. Own by thai family and now very popular. Same place with Thai Massage for men. Our favourite dishes is Larb Kai (thai chicken salad) and Fish in Lemon Sauce.
2. Far East Restaurant, a little bit more up market than thai snack ... i know the lady who own the place. The food is good and the waiter speak better english than Thai Snack's waiter :D. Make sure you try the fish cake and their sukiyaki.
the rest of thai restaurant :
3. The third one is call thai noodle down the souq. Can't really explain where it is ... we havent been there for ages more than a year. Somewhere off the Grand Hamad Street (not sure about the street name, but it is the street where all the bank headquarter located.
4, Thai noodle have a branch in Mesaieed.
5. Thai Chi (in Villagio).
So in total there is 4 thai restaurant in Doha.
You're welcome! you didn't go to Orion this evening? I am drinking coke tonight had a hangover this morning and I want an early night that would be mid night!
Yeah, true enough Apple, but lately The US library of Congress and Encyclopedia Britannica web sites are lagging too much from my end.
Parentesis stuff just confuses me a bit.
Any how is good information.....
Too many INDIANS acquiring information.
LOL:)

Thank you
Not sure, but I think that's the only Thai restaurant there! after the Nokia showroom I think! Their duck dish is a bit sweet but very delicious! I'll check it tomorrow for you, okay?

Amnesia was simply talking about NUMBERS and ALGEBRA. Not about the language
Amnesia wrote:
The English (which was originally Arabic) and the Arabic (which was originally Indian) number systems were created around the same time at different parts of the world.
My research on the foundation of the English language is listed as follows according to Wikepedia as:
English is a West Germanic language that originated from the Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain by Germanic settlers and Roman auxiliary troops from various parts of what is now northwest Germany and the Northern Netherlands.
Initially, Old English was a diverse group of dialects, reflecting the varied origins of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms of England. One of these dialects, Late West Saxon, eventually came to dominate. The original Old English language was then influenced by two waves of invasion. The first was by language speakers of the Scandinavian branch of the Germanic family; they conquered and colonized parts of Britain in the 8th and 9th centuries. The second was the Normans in the 11th century, who spoke Old French and ultimately developed an English variety of this called Anglo-Norman.
These two invasions caused English to become "mixed" to some degree (though it was never a truly mixed language in the strict linguistic sense of the word; mixed languages arise from the cohabitation of speakers of different languages, who develop a hybrid tongue for basic communication).
Cohabitation with the Scandinavians resulted in a significant grammatical simplification and lexical enrichment of the Anglo-Frisian core of English; the later Norman occupation led to the grafting onto that Germanic core of a more elaborate layer of words from the Romance branch of the European languages. This Norman influence entered English largely through the courts and government. Thus, English developed into a "borrowing" language of great flexibility and with a huge vocabulary.
Incredibly Amazing theories with facts!
MAYBE WE SOULD ASK jaunty, and many English Scholars that roamed this web site.
Sorry mate you left your self wide open for his one....
Cardinal OF QATAR LIVING
Do you mean FarEast Restaurant
Red Pope. I know u hate communists being a church man
But at least mention the author George Orwell
They serve duck dish at Thailand restaurant in Al Nasser St.
I have to agree with you partially in algebra thing.
But for the English part I have to disagree on it.
Is that a theory of a Plot or a Conspiracy Theory against the ENGLISH language?
Incredibly Amazing theories!
My confession booth is open for Conspiracy theories against the English Language....

Have anyone tried it? Very authentic Chinese soup. Mind you, we cannot say Chinese in general. It depends on what part of hina are we talking about.
Anyhow that Black Chicken soup looks yucky but tastes yummy. Imagine yourself having a bowl filled with gensing roots and something black with it.The chicken has black skin, meat and bones. Am sure I was not dreaming :)
Another 10% we agree upon.
Am wondering, which restaurants here have nice duck plates?
Doha Club used to have a good one, but unfortunately it is closed for good :(
Amazing feats.
However here are a few points.
The English (which was originally Arabic) and the Arabic (which was originally Indian) number systems were created around the same time at different parts of the world.
Algebra was a Muslim / Arabic creation.
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/HistTopics/Arabic_mathematics.html
Actually the world Algebra comes from the Arabic word Al Jabr, which means, to reunite.

Yeah there is a hell lot of discrimination amongst the Indians at the work place....
Why do you hate durian? it's very delicious! yummy durian. I am going to Davao and Jolo next year just for durian.
Thats where India fails They rent them out.....
I found a few on the net, although I'm not sure I'll ever actually attempt to make it myself, but all information helps so I would be happy to see your secretary's version of this dish.
Cheers
I read an article the The Times a couple of weeks ago (I think) which said that a huge percentage of Indians now go to the USA rather than UK for their education.
You are on the receiving end of the brain drain from India lol
Jauntie - I lived in Singapore for many years so have been to lot of joints. Now there are variations of Fish head Curry. Chinese Fish Head Curry, Malay Fish Head Curry etc etc. My Secretary knows how to prepare it and she told me that she will write the recipe for me next week :) want to have a copy:)
With a population of more than 1bn producing a good store of brains there is no reason why India should not be able to take its rightful place in the world.
Firstly, India has to keep the 'brains' in India and not rent them out to the rest of the world at a low rate.
Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. Mahatma Gandhi
sounds about right, because there was nothing on the other side of the road apart from a wall! lol
I take it you've been there? It was a fabulous meal. I've tried to find recipes on the internet to make it myself, but it could never be the same as the dish I had that day. :(
Mystica - I hate Durian. Can't stand the smell if it is even 500m away
Jauntie - That is the world famous Muttu Fish Head Curry Restaurant at Race Corse Road off Serengoon Road near little India
The friend we bumped into in Singapore now works in Doha (another coincidence of the ex-pat globe trotting community). When he gets back from his hols I will ask him the name of the restaurant, cos now *I'm* curious also!
It was a few years ago, now, and a friend took us to the restaurant. I just remember it was down a back street somewhere, almost the only 'shop' in the road.
They put a big banana leaf on the table in front of each of us and sat the big bowl of fish head curry in the centre of the table, then they spooned rice and pickles etc on to the leaf and we ladled our curry on to the leaf and ate it from there.
yummy! in Thailand some hotels has picture of a durian fruit and says no durian allowed!
I love durian the thing with duria, it's like eating the best fruit inside the stinky toilet!
The NRI Na raha indian population trying desperately to change and rationalise the thinking of Modern India. Yet its only the IITS, IIMs and the professional medics who are given credit for their work in the US and not the underpriveledged who have to perish with dreams endless beyond their reach...... Gradual change will it help a democratic nation like India which battles all reslience and yet accepts globalisation in the right stride even when it manifests into terror...
Who will solve the crisis will it be the Brain Drain that should reverse and eventually rise as One India or an India with a 100 castes and communities and yet portraying as secular.
Lets accept it Noone can change india unless the onus is shouldered by the 1 bn population
Jauntie - Anyone's Singapore trip is not completed until they eat a Fish Head Curry. Do you know the real stroy of inventing Fish Head Curry. It was invented in Singapore nto India.
Which restaurant You ate Fish Head Curry. Muttu's?
Eventually bit the bullet and had a fish head curry in Singapore. It was a b s o l u t e l y DELICIOUS!!
I love the notices at the entrance to the Mass Transport stations in Singapore which say Durian fruit is banned. hehehe
And NO I didn't try it!
Canarybird - Have u tried Turtle Soup
What I'm trying to say is, that you heard people say these things about the country you mentioned, I am referring to those people who think badly about this other country like Thailand and India! Sorry! for the misunderstanding.
Cheers! what we're having tonight? Stella again?
Hmm In some countries they are a speciality the same as sheeps brains, however not knowing where and animals feet have been better to stay with the things you know. However, having said that I would not accept the waiter telling me what to eat.
When I was in Beijing I ate all kinds of things including fried scorpion on a biscuit so there you are.
Have a good weekend
I tried to order sheeps trotters in a very large restaurant in Jeddah (yonks ago). There was a crowd of about 8 of us and the waiter was a very English Butler type of Jeeves person wearing black tie and tails.
He looked down his nose at me and said: You wouldn't want those, madam.
I said I did, He said choose something else. hmmmm
He wandered around the table to take other orders then came back to me and I ordered something else 'exotic looking' from the menu.
He said: You don't want those, madam.
I said I did
He said I didn't
Eventually, after my husband pulled me off this guy, I ordered a lamb dish.
I was FURIOUS !!! lol
The chicken feet are very special and a kind of delicatessen. Whe I was in Hong Kong my ex-husband ordered them the (menu just had badly taken photos) so when they came he couldn't eat them and I had to an ask tha have the dish changed. The restaurant was very good they understood immediately that he had not idea what he ordered.
I read a lot about China, and really want to visit it sometime. Food problem is more severe for me as I am veggie...No problem I won't forget to carry a loads of Maggy Noodles packets with me.

Out of curiosity ... have you try to eat snakes?
Alexa ... i will swap Qatar anytime with living in China ... consider yourself fortunate you experience living in that area. By race i am chinese, the closest i been living in Chinese community is Singapore lol.
Jauntie ... did you eat the 'chicken feet' in the end? Or maybe jst try a bit???? lol
When we were living in Hong Kong we were at a company dinner and one of the courses which arrived in front of me was 'chicken feet'. I asked the Chinese bloke sitting next to me how he knew they were chicken and not duck feet. He pointed at the middle of the table and said 'because I can see the rest of it's body over there'!
I looked and sure enough there was this footless chicken as the centre piece on the table.
:o)
I agree about the poor females who opt to do that a profession, they cannot find a better job with no education. But what about the men who go to such ladies... I don’t think it can be justified in any way. They can help these ladies by giving that money as charity.
LOL... Gypsy Gal....Well, I have tried really hard to not to address HIM directly...but You see, he wins as usual...LOL
I knew that I was Sarat's 'Most Wanted' since yesterday, but suddenly he had shifted his focus to SD...and I ve left heart broken...LOL
BTW where are our regular QLers? I am searching for them !!!!!
[img_assist|nid=22259|title=Fruity..Kitty|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=135|height=180]
who cares really? Everyone has a right to make a living the way they want who are we to decide or to criticize.
Some prostitutes feel this is their calling in life and do it because they enjoy it.
Considering poor people, although I feel being poor in the world is unjust, there is enough money in the world that everyone could have a proper income but no one is interested in sharing that money. It is spent on unecessary wars and weapons.
"Sitting on a pot of gold"
Where were you? Sarat was missing you yesterday? Wonder why some people don't learn from their mistakes... decent people will have lots to do in a foreign country than to find search where he can find a prostitute..lol
"Richard, agree on the Chinese food, horrid, lived there 2 years....the things they describe as food are simply staggering.....for example : Duck's feet....I mean really, why would you want to eat that????"
----> You make me craving of Duck's feet now. On our last hols i took my son on the local chinese restaurant (Dim Sum), and he pigged out chicken claws :D Should see my husband face when we enjoying our 'chicken feets' lol.
There is no country which is prostitution free be they rich, developed, developing or poor country all have their Red light district
where did the original thread get lost here. Broken hearts, prostitution, Thailand, and not to foget CharantSanitwong being his usual happy aggresive self!!!
I have neither said this (India is a prostitution free country) utterly BullSh****t in any of my post nor have I bashed Thailand for this one thing. This is the very oldest profession on earth and going to last forever. Please read carefully my Dear. Its you who is making the shame to Thailand I think.
[img_assist|nid=22259|title=Fruity..Kitty|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=135|height=180]
What's wrong with you?
Bashing Indians makes you happy?
Take a notebook and write 1000 or more times "I hate India and Indians".
May be that will improve your health.
God bless you friend.
India is a prostitution free country Ha Ha Ha ever been to red light district in Bombay.
I dont consider this as judging people.
Personally, even for being a man who likes ladies and fun, won't consider going to Bangkok for example
Also won't consider going to Europe or any country that has security mania. Cannot stand and will not allow a police dog to smell me.
I opted to stay here during Summer and not go to my country as I do every year coz of high risk of bombs and war.
So dear. There is nothing wrong in what Alexa said.
On the other hand I understand and value much your opinion and the honest and sensitive feeling towards the poor.
God bless you
Buddies! chat you again tomorrow!
Alexa said Oh my!! Where are we to go ...
Oh my!!
Where are we to go for our holidays....
In India there is garbage...
In America you can get bombed...
In Europe there is racism and it is expensive....
In Thailand there are prostitutes....
This is what I'm saying! Alexa is saying this is what other people is saying!
We cannot take things like that
I did not read the whole thread but I have noted ur post about prostitution.
I don't see people judging others. Saying the someone is a prostitute? so what? what if that girl or boy opted or was forced to such profession? we are talking about a phenomenon and not judging them.
Being poor is something we understand. Everywhere there is the poor and the rich. But being poor does not justify being diry. Those are not related. You might someone who is rich, yet dirty.
There are things beyond our control. Once I was late in the office and the guy from whom I used to buy newspapers asked me for a lift. My God. I picked him but was about to suffocate from the smell. So now I don't dare pick anyone whom I know need transport desperately coz of that. I know you would tell me he is staying all the day in the heat and sweating. Thats true but a daily shower and clean cotton clothes would minimize the effect.
I don't think I'm in a wrong thread am I? I am accompanied with Stella beer.
But I think Indian has right to be proud as other country is! After all there maybe a competition but when it comes to humanity people should be all the same in each mentality if you are kind enough to appreciate each and everyone!
You OK? Maybe posting in wrong forum? :P
I'm off to bed, so will say good night now. Sweet dreams.
I feel so sad the way people compare other people to themselves! some people think they are lucky but what about those who are not lucky?
Is not even for you to judge people! they are also human being! I've been in Thailand and spoke to some woman! believe me if I were a Billionaire? I will do everything to help them! Hearing stories from this people? my heart is broken into pieces! so how could you people even think to criticized them? Shame! so many people who have kind hearts but nobody notices them!
You did not sleep also?
I know being in tears, specially like yours won't help you sleep.
Thought you were watching the eclipse:)
Am still up. Bad boy HUH?
Well not kicked out of bed. Being Home Alone episode 8,
Actually got some work to finish.
Sweet dreams
for holiday, the one I love most is India especially Goa is my favorite. Thailand of course is great too! and the rest are all appreciated. poverty is everywhere, you just have to know how they suffer to appreciate their kindness and sweetness. pity for those people who live in poverty life is so unfair for them!
Yes I'm still up - just about! Thinking of heading to the land of dreams very soon.
You are both up late/early too! Got kicked out of your beds?
UHMMMMMM somebody is still awake

Who are What are Lashkar-e-Taiba, please.
Yes the article IS about outside terrorist attacks, rather like the bombings you are referring to in London and New York ergo nowhere is safe.
If the number of heroes is not equal to the number of heroines, the excess heroes/heroines will
a) die
a) join the Red Cross and take off to Switzerland before the end of the movie.
If there are 2 heroes in a movie, they will fight each other savagely for at least 5 minutes (10 if they are brothers).
Any court scene will have the dialogue "Objection milord". If it is said by the hero, or his lawyer, it will be sustained. Else, it will be overruled.
The hero's sister will usually marry the hero's best friend (i.e. the second hero). Else, she will be raped by the villain within the first 30 minutes, and commit suicide.
In a chase, the hero will always overtake the villain, even on a bullock-cart, or on foot.
When the hero fires at the villain(s), he will never
a) miss
a) run out of bullets.
When the villain fires at the hero, he will always miss (unless the hero is required to die).
Any fight sequence shall take place in the vicinity of a stack of
a) pots
a) barrels
a) glass bottles, which will be smashed to pieces.
Any movie involving lost and found brothers will have a song sung by
a) the brothers
a) their blind mother (but of course, she has to be blind in order to regain her sight in the climax)
a) the family dog/cat.
The amazing thing is that these folks remember the song after 20 years in the movie, and you can't remember it 2 minutes after coming out of the theatre.
Police inspectors (when not played by the hero) come in three categories:
a) Scrupulously honest, probably the hero's father - killed by the villain before the titles.
b) Honest, but always chasing the anti-hero, saying "Tum kanoon se bach nahin sakte", only to pat him in the back in reel 23. Usually, this inspector's daughter is in love with the anti-hero.
c) The corrupt inspector, (usually the real villain's sidekick) unceremoniously knocked about by the hero(s) in the climax.
But Richard read it again only 3674 lives and that too in terrorism which is perpetrated by other outside forces (everyone knows). And the fact is that now the whole world is suffering from terrorism. I heard that 9/11 only had claimed more than 5000 lives.
Well and what about 1st and 2nd world wars? Can you please provide the exact number of lives claimed by racism?

Now I see it:
"DELHI DIARY Horrors in Hyderabad"
By A K B Krishnan
Very interesting!
Oryx - Exchange rate 1 Riyal = 450 Uganda Shillings right. Return flight DOH - DBX - AdisAbba - Entabbe and return QR2500. very tempting
Oryx - I am going to UGANDA
Since 2004 India has lost more lives to terrorist incidents than all of North America, South America,Central America, Europe and Eurasia put together. India alone lost 3,674 lives over this period to terrorism.
One country that has known terrorist violence for decades is India. One country that constantly fails to do anything about preventing the next terrorist violence is also India.
I took the above from today's editorial in the Gulf Times written by AKB Krishnan, an Indian.
Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. Mahatma Gandhi
The name of the movie would be "Goa to Bombay".
Madhuri has to be Rose and who else but Shahrukh as Jack. Madhuri's fiance would be Gulshan Grover who mutters "bad man" every time he sees Shahrukh.
Amitabh Bacchan would make a guest appearance as the Ship's captain and would be waltzing with Madhuri during the party. Of course, he would not die.
Shahrukh will be travelling with his sister and 5 other chamchas from college plus 50 extras who are well trained in every dance sequence in the world.
The movie would only last for 7 hours. Thanks to great piece of editing,there would be only 22 songs in the movie out of 30 in the CD.
The ship would be overflowing with extras whom you normally find in movies that have a court scene full of people or a slum full of aam-janta.
The ship will start sinking, not because of the iceberg but because of excessive on-board population.
The infamous lovemaking in the back seat of the car would be replaced with a song in the Swiss Alps.
Best friend of Shahrukh will save his sister from being raped during the chaos.The sister will instantly fall in love right after this and she will also get a song or two.
Remember Rose changing her mind about jumping into the water? In our case, Madhuri changes her mind, since...since... the ship is moving along a creek and the water stinks!
How can we forget the painting scene? Shahrukh would be painting Madhuri's portrait with Madhuri fully covered minus the locket (Censors yaar!).
This is to be followed by a dance number, with extras of course, in an art gallery.
Shahrukh would eventually find his long lost mom Aasoo Devi on the ship. Only during the climax would Aasoo Devi tell Shahrukh about how Gulshan troubled them.
Shahrukh would then yell, "Kutte mein tera khoon pee jaaoonga". The ensuing fight would only last for an hour.
There would be an antakshari for the "drowners" conducted by Anu Kapoor instead of the trio playing the violin.
Most important!! The number of times the word "Bachaoooo" would be yelled would be a record in the history of cinema.
"Raaaabert...Captain se ja ke kaho ke agar apni maa or bahen ko zinda dekh na chahte ho to naav ko Hindustaan kee sarhado se hamesha hamesha ke liye bahoootdoor le le."
there r two Congos I suppose.........r both a mess? Because I think I might b going over to the smaller congo (thats what they said) for some business. Any help?
Swissgirl, better you go to London or Pearl of Indian ocean and have a nice smell of fresh flesh...if you are not chased ritually by some gang to death or bombed....well, can't say now 'lol'
[img_assist|nid=22259|title=Fruity..Kitty|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=135|height=180]
Where is the only place in the world where a Malayalee doesn't work hard?
Keralam (Kerala)
Swissgirl39- go to kerala to smell the nice odor coming out from garbage piles along the streets. You will never get that experience in your lifetime. Very good lush green garbage.
yep ur damn too right, but as I said earlier, lets put those grievances apart and lets make this world a better place at least for our children, atleast we can try :-)
swiss girl - even better - look at africa! wow
I have been to 20 countries there.... you wont be bored - lush green - impressive animals and people are nice and chatty
swissgirl39 - being there few times. I was bored to death after office hours even you stay at a 5 star hotel. look for elesewhere in India.
swiss girl if you want to see the back waters of kerala... come and visit my neighbour.. esp when he is cooking

Kerala is an amazing place of amazingly friendly people. Do you know its called 'God's own country'? Though I am not from that region I had been there 3 years back for holidays. Excellent experience!!! Lush green landscape, dense forests, magic Tea gardens and calm backwaters!!!! Its all enchanting!!!!!!
Well, your choice, visit Kerala or 'pearl of Indian Ocean'. In latter place you may never know when you will be bombed....lol.....

chitty I didnt stay in Kampala
my night life consisted of sticking my head outside a tent and checking there was no wild life so i could go for a wee wee.
i stayed in the zoo in entebbee but the monkeys were hanging around and going to the loo was scary - i had to take a stick to whack the critters away
however i did go to the market in Kampala and I bought a second hand pair of reeboks for 8US, an addidas fleece and a t-shirt and a pork pie and a packet of smokey bacon crisps
please note the food wasn't second hand!
Here in the travelling Agencys Kerala is promoted for a good and intresting Place for hollidays.So you say they are wrong?

Oryx - How is nightlife in Kampala.
Swissgirl39 - you are talking about a place where they start work at 10.00am and finish at 4.30pm (5 days a week). Dead after 6.00pm
Don't even think about it
richard - interesting what you said about chinese food
the best place to eat Indian food actually is Manchester
i have also eaten excellent chinese food in china town there
Chitty
Uganda is lovely and green and because it was english you can drink ribena and eat pies and because it is africa you can have a hippo walk past your tent.
rwanda - beautiful but left me uneasy..standing room only - over populated
kenya - the masai mara is majestic no wonder the brits took it for themselves
ethiopia is green and mystical
congo - surprise is a mess
You are talking about the nation which once claimed that "The Sun Never Sets on them" ? well, the sun has finally set on them and in the darkness now has risen the Gun and Gang culture!!!!
Hint answer : It is not India and Qatar too, for sure....lol....
More hints : Turn any Newspaper thruout the world to get the name.

Bravo IMI
spread peace
For the sake of God my dear friends..
Lets not get into who is good and who is bad, which culture is good and which culture is bad.. We all know that all the existing cultures of this Mother Earth have both the Good & Bad in them.
All the countries & Cultures are good.. We talk about being in a Modern World, and most of us all Educated. If our mentality remains so small towards our one race named HUMAN's I am sorry to say this world will soon turn in to HELL. For sure no one here is a politician, and no one runs or works for any as such hate group.
So we all living in this small pretty place named qatar, promote Healthy Debates.. Why are we all in a rush to bash up people based on culture here..
I love Pakistani's, Indian, Chinese, Egyptians and rest of the communities.. coz they were all created by one divine power named GOD..
Spead Love Not War.. Spead Happiness Not Hate... After all a coin always has 2 sides..
Yalla.. Peace Time.. No Hard Feelings.. We all are Humans.. and let us begin to respect each other.. coz if you give respect you get respect..

Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary. Mahatma Gandhi
I am a good reader and I really didn’t want to peep into this U turned thread of discussion on a very healthy and eminent achievements that India has made over the years, but I couldn’t help writing something to give a piece of my mind. Either its ind-china or ind – pak war, I still do not know the reason why certain nationals(no hard feelings) feel good to see /study them fighting. Is it a pride of honor to push people to fight? Although the history is very clear, they came, they looted and then they escaped in the night, leaving two nations stranded and fighting for certain reasons unresolved and on a damn purpose.
Please people, let us support the good things among nations. Let us forget the harshness’s of the past, let us not allow any one to throw remarks at specifically Asians. I believe Asians should feel proud that they have given this world a civilization to work on and a meaning to live a harmonious life. WoW to Indians though I am not an Indian :-)
make this world a better place for our children
God bless u all...!!!!
I was planning on a Beijing trip this Eid, but now i'm reconsidering that plan. Maybe I'll go with plan B - Salsburg.
Oryx - How is UGANDA
Btw I don't think we should refer to them as Indians anymore. I think they prefer to be called Native Americans. Its more polite.

outside of China is great. Inside of China its terrible. Spent a week in Beijing most of it in the bathroom.
Indians are much better. I like their tepees and wigwams and the way they can communicate using smoke signals. Its a shame though that aren't many buffaloe left to hunt.

you wouldn't be impressed with the Chinese if you saw the crappy dogs bollocks of a mess they make with road building in Africa.
and what they get up to in Burma.
Great food crappy shoddy builders... nothing decent since the great wall.
I don't think we studied the Ind-Pak war in school or college... we did the China-India war coz that was more significant and they put up a better fight... :-P
actually Greenthing if you shake your head back when you talk to Indians, they usually understand more of what you say!!
Man oh man what's with the shaking of the head business! I ask a question, I want a yes or no answer not a shake of the head that could mean anything, and usually means....'I don't understand what you're saying but if I shake my head maybe you'll leave me alone and won't give me any work to do'
May I also remind you that the cause of the Kargil (1999) war was the infiltration of Pakistani soldiers and Kashmiri militants into positions on the Indian side of the Line of Control, which serves as the de facto border between the two nations. Directly after the war, Pakistan blamed the fighting entirely on independent Kashmiri insurgents; however, documents left behind by casualties and later statements by Pakistan's Prime Minister and Chief of Army Staff showed involvement of Pakistani paramilitary forces...
India represents almost ¼ of the total world population. Some achievers must be their.
Cast system still exists and practiced,
Women abuse still exists and practiced, and so on.
69% Americans use Internet & 5.5% Indians only.
America has 30.30% airports of the world & India has only 0.70%.
Approximate 300 million film tickets are sold every year in India. How much it will take to selling 300 million tickets in the State of Qatar if we all start watching movies every weekend?
India was never able to invade any country in her last 10000 years of history.
India was not able to protect herself either from the invaders!
When someone does good he is labeled Indian. When someone does less he is labeled not Indian. Lots of racism.
Almost everything is regarded as God (including yourself). Good philosophy but then lots of people put themselves on top of everything else as this philosophy creates conflicting ground reality.

pity they dont live in Qatar
1) Who stares all the time?
2) who curb crawls women?
3) Who just has to rub past you in the supermarket?
4) Who spits copiously?
5) Who crashed into my car and didn't apologise at all?
6) Who tried to grab me on the Corniche?
7) Who ended up cooling off for a week at the Emir's pleasure for harrassing me and drunk driving in City Centre car park?
Hint answer: It isn't the Qataris - that is for sure.

Hats Off to Indians!!!!!!!
We didn't loose part of our Country, we gave it to Pakistan and China because we are very generous. Who told you we cant pronounce Seventeen? Please don't generalize....

On the 3rd of December 1971, the Pakistani Air Force (PAF) struck a number of Indian airfields in northern India. By midnight, India was officially at war with Pakistan. Two weeks later, the war was over. The Indian Army had overrun erstwhile East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and taken 93,000 POWs. It was one of the swiftest military campaigns in recent history...

Indians are perfect just like other nationalities having rich history (ex: Egyptains)......but do you realy think that those living in Qatar are considered a sample......i dont think so because 80% of them are semi educated.
