Ant & Grasshopper


The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter,the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

Modern Version


The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.
Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that
Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.
Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticizes the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.
The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) .
Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.
CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers.
Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter.

Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation ' for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions & in Government Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes,it's home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.

Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'.
Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice '.
CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Down trodden '
Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.


Many years later...

The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon Valley .
100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India ...
As a result of losing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the Grasshoppers, India is still a developing country!

Blasts rock hyderabad on the weekend sat 25th of august 2007, but why whats the reason behind it ????? did it target hindu's or muslim's or christian's????? nah the communal aspect isnt in anyway related to the events if u think logically.
Think who is in power at the center, now think who rules Andhra now conclude, not much i need to add to it. 
To add to the political terrorist nexus i might also highlight the recent arrests of terrorist who were in safe hands and safely hiding in the ruling party's mla's houses, but the question is now after independence, has the ruling politics gotten better or worse?????I mean where is tht attitude of sevice to the nation tht our freedom fighters had then?????

Now we have the ad's of SRK telling we the ppl r the traffic and part of the stagnation of India's development but frankly what else can the ppl do other than pay ther taxes properly and watch the ppl in power use it or misuse it.
Ppl have to have more self respect and not vote for a 100 rs note some biryani/pulao and a packet of country liquor, only if every citizen is sincere towards voting for the right person no matter what the perks he might get outta voting for the other and only when the rule book and constitutions rule's r amended  and only if ppl at higher powers r also held accountable just as say a commoner might be, only then can India really be called a developed nation.
But do u think India can come out of all this easily, will ther be any amendment passed to make a member of parliament or the cabinet accountable without any loop holes????? I mean recently i saw tht even a bill tht supported the fact tht members of parliament be paid depending on the amt of work they do and pay cuts for the walk of and the disruption of parliament activity was rejected with an overwhelming majority.....i wonder.

My experiences at a well known govt. bank today was worth writing and asking ppl is it the case in the whole of India?????
Ok it was Saturday and it’s supposedly a half day tht these guys work on a Saturday I reached ther at arnd 11 and still out of arnd the dozen boxes wher ppl r suppose to be helping, there were just 3-4 boxes which were occupied by the staff and hilariously 2 of them wer facing problems with their computers!!!!! These ppl wher not able to log on to their com!!!!! Imagine now its like half an hr these guys took to figure out their computers and its working, with occasionally someone coming from internal dept. trying to help them a bit in figuring out the solution and then going back without anything being done actually. It was like they wer testing ther and not their for service!!!!!
It was really exhausting for me to see the pace at which the work was being done …..lol
If I had a camera ther wld really have had shot them and shown it to ya ppl. Tell me abt it is such a thing happening all over India!!!!!
One more question whats the point of a half day when everything starts working smoothly after 11:30 in the noon ppl.
Isnt it funny it shld be half an hour not half a day tht they shld be quoting.

The problems with GIRLS -:

If u TREAT her nicely, she says u are IN LOVE with her;
If u Don't, she says u are PROUD.

If u DRESS Nicely, she says u are trying to LURE her;
If u Don't, she says u are from CHENNAI.

If u ARGUE with her, she says u are STUBBORN;
If u keep QUIET,! she says u have no BRAINS.

If u are SMARTER than her, she'll lose FACE;
If she's Smarter than u, she is GREAT.

If u don't Love her, she tries to POSSESS u;
If u Love her, she will try to LEAVE u.(very true huh?)

If u don't make love with her., she says! u don't Love her;
If u do!! she says u are CHEAP.

If u tell her your PROBLEM, she says u are TROUBLESOME;
If u don't, she says that u don't TRUST her.

If u SCOLD her, u are like a CHACHA to her;
If she SCOLDS u, it is because she CARES for u.

If u BREAK your PROMISE, u Cannot be TRUSTED;
If she BREAKS hers, she is FORCED to do so.

If u SMOKE, u are BAD BOY;
If she SMOKES, she is a GENTLELADY.

If u do WELL in your exams, she says it's LUCK;
If she does WELL, it's BRAINS.

If u HURT her, u are CRUEL;
If she HURTS u, u are too SENSITIVE!!
& sooo hard to please!!!!!

Well its one thing tht makes me ponder when I look into the oh so many social networking sites hosted on the internet…..its one simple question perhaps u too wld be forced into thinking and coming onto a explanation for tht.

Why is it tht only girls have oh so many and by so many I mean so alarmingly many guys scrapping, initiating things sending frnds proposals and u know the stuff like tht.
Its simple and we have been seeing it all but ever wondered why?????

Ever seen a guys profile being flooded with frnds requests and scraps by girls unless he is a superstar or a person well known…..never is the answer I wld say, but sure works the other way round always here in India, but why ?????

Ok now I came up with one of a few logical explanations for this happening ( am sure u ppl wld highlight many more such reasons in time )

It’s the India factor probably where the girl thinks tht guys need to take the initiative and do stuff to impress her and make her feel special and if she wld do it then it wld be taken in the wrong way, ok point taken but girls cmon lets be practical guys and gals both make a couple, well atleast most of the times  so isn’t it an equal responsibility for both to keep the natures course going on and in the 21st century I guess u too wld be coerced into endorsing the idea.

This was one reason I cld think of…..am sure u ppl out there also wld now look into this fact some in a thoughtful way some in a humorous and a funny way.
Just a strange question tht came out in the open and tht of writing on it, so the next time u see this kinda thing happening look into it carefully it sure wld be intresting.

However strange the question might be though with so many ppl here am sure we wld come out with a more or less proper solution to this funny mystery .

Cheers till next time ppl

Hey ther ppl.....this is aditya here . Well am new into fropper and so am writing this blog basically introducing meself.
Well am from a city which was once happening but now somebody always makes sure in india tht development is the last priority( have a lot to say on tht maybe some other day i sure will ppl).
Iam from hyderabad and have just completed my graduation and now venturing into a new world wer i can do things and see things happen .
My college days wer full of bunkings, last bench discussions and irritating a few of those lecturers u know the kinda ones who hate us for just being on those benches back ther wer we have our own world .
Then ther wer the differnt groups each having its own unique tinge of style, fashion and  attitude ( ther wer really all types u cld think of ppl ).
Ours for most part of the college was a gang of  abt half a dozen guys each a handful in their own right we had the comp freak, we had the speedsters ( thats muah ppl  ) then we had the socialites too (lol) and yeah almost everything u need in a college to be a force to reckon with.We had our unique ways of wishing ppl on their bdays which soon became the trend almost throughout the entire college.
Well loads of stuff i cld write on our escapades in college but then thts for some other time.
But most of u wld agree tht the best part of the education stint of one is the school life isnt it?????Well written a lot for today will keep writing and if u had the patience to go through all this then cheers mate  ty for tht
