Some Big Fish Catches

Worlds largest snake

EJ3SEG6TUBEPINATCNV9

A python found in

Indonesia is 14.85m (49ft)

long and has a maximum

body circumference of

85cm (almost three feet)

and weighs 447kg (70

stone, 3lbs).

It was captured by a 58-

year-old python expert

from east Java who was

summoned to Jambi after

locals, who stumbled upon

it while foraging for wood,

were too afraid to

approach it.

The expert reportedly

needed 65 helpers to snare

the python and the

blessing of tribal leaders as

pythons are regarded as

deities by many locals.

The python is proving to be

a major attraction for the

zoo, as about 700 people

visit the Curugsewu zoo

every day to admire the

new but rather lazy star.

RELIGIOUS JOKES

JOKE NO 1 : SATAN VISITS CHURCH

One bright, beautiful

Sunday morning,

everyone in tiny

Jonestown wakes up

early and goes to their

local church. Before the

service starts, the

townspeople sit in their

pews and talk about

their lives and their

families.

Suddenly, at the altar,

Satan appears!!

Everyone starts

screaming and running

for the front entrance,

trampling each other in

their determined efforts

to get away from Evil

Incarnate. Soon,

everyone is evacuated

from the church except

for one man, who sit

calmly in his pew,

seemingly oblivious to

the fact that God's

ultimate enemy is in his

presence. This confuses

Satan a bit. Satan walks

up to the man and says,

"Hey, don't you know

who I am?" The man

says, "Yep, sure do."

Satan says, "Well, aren't

you afraid of me?" The

man says, "Nope, sure

ain't."

Satan, perturbed, says,

"And why aren't you

afraid of me?" The man

says, "Well, I've been

married to your sister

for 25 years."

JOKES

A blonde goes to the

hospital to know

whether she is pregnant

or not. The doctor does a

scan and tells her she is

going to have twins. The

blonde bursts out in

tears and the doctor asks

why? He asks , do you

not want twins? The

blonde says, no, its just, i

dont know who the 2nd

dad is!!

Indias top 10 corruption

An average Indian citizen is
hard working and diligent,
but it is the people in
charge of the system (The
Babu's) or with whom the
power lays, that act as a
cancer spreading the
venom, slowing down
progress and what all not.
But, somewhere down the
line, we ourselves are
responsible for allowing
and being taken for a ride
by these people, aren't we?
However, it is during a
multi-thousand crore scam,
that a tax-payer actually
realizes the heartburn of
being cheated from his
valued contribution of
funds towards the
development and well-
being of the nation. But,
that's what a scam, be it
big or small, means – the
act of swindling by some
fraudulent scheme or
action.
The Top Scams in
India
1) 2G Spectrum Scam
We have had a number of
scams in India; but none
bigger than the scam
involving the process of
allocating unified access
service licenses. At the
heart of this Rs.1.76-lakh
crore worth of scam is the
former Telecom minister A
Raja– who according to
the CAG, has evaded norms
at every level as he carried
out the dubious 2G license
awards in 2008 at a throw-
away price which were
pegged at 2001 prices.
2) Commonwealth
Games Scam
Another feather in the cap
of Indian scandal list is
Commonwealth Games
loot. Yes, literally a loot!
Even before the long
awaited sporting bonanza
could see the day of light,
the grand event was
soaked in the allegations of
corruption. It is estimated
that out of Rs. 70000 crore
spent on the Games, only
half the said amount was
spent on Indian
sportspersons.
The Central Vigilance
Commission, involved in
probing the alleged
corruption in various
Commonwealth Games-
related projects, has found
discrepancies in tenders–
like payment to non-
existent parties, will-ful
delays in execution of
contracts, over-inflated
price and bungling in
purchase of equipment
through tendering – and
misappropriation of funds.
3) Telgi Scam
As they say, every scam
must have something
unique in it to make
money out of it in an
unscrupulous manner- and
Telgi scam had all the
suspense and drama that
the scandal needed to
thrive and be busted.
Abdul Karim Telgi had
mastered the art of forgery
in printing duplicate stamp
papers and sold them to
banks and other
institutions. The tentacles
of the fake stamp and
stamp paper case had
penetrated 12 states and
was estimated at a
whooping Rs. 20000 crore
plus. The Telgi clearly had a
lot of support from
government departments
that were responsible for
the production and sale of
high security stamps.
4) Satyam Scam
The scam at Satyam
Computer Services is
something that will shatter
the peace and tranquillity
of Indian investors and
shareholder community
beyond repair.Satyam is
the biggest fraud in the
corporate history to the
tune of Rs. 14000 crore.
The company's disgraced
former chairman
Ramalinga Raju kept
everyone in the dark for a
decade by fudging the
books of accounts for
several years and inflating
revenues and profit figures
of Satyam. Finally, the
company was taken over by
the Tech Mahindra which
has done wonderfully well
to revive the brand Satyam.
5) Bofors Scam
The Bofors scandal is
known as the hallmark of
Indian corruption. The
Bofors scam was a major
corruption scandal in India
in the 1980s; when the
then PM Rajiv Gandhi and
several others including a
powerful NRI family named
the Hindujas, were accused
of receiving kickbacks from
Bofors AB for winning a bid
to supply India's 155 mm
field howitzer.
The Swedish State Radio
had broadcast a startling
report about an
undercover operation
carried out by Bofors,
Sweden's biggest arms
manufacturer, whereby $16
million were allegedly paid
to members of PM Rajiv
Gandhi's Congress.
Most of all, the Bofors
scam had a strong
emotional appeal because
it was a scam related to the
defense services and India's
security interests.
6) The Fodder Scam
If you haven't heard of
Bihar's fodder scam of
1996, you might still be
able to recognize it by the
name of"Chara Ghotala ,"
as it is popularly known in
the vernacular language.
In this corruption scandal
worth Rs.900 crore, an
unholy nexus was traced
involved in fabrication of
"vast herds of fictitious
livestock" for which fodder,
medicine and animal
husbandry equipment was
supposedly procured.
7) The Hawala Scandal
The Hawala case to the
tune of $18 million bribery
scandal, which came in the
open in 1996, involved
payments allegedly
received by country's
leading politicians through
hawala brokers. From the
list of those accused also
included Lal Krishna Advani
who was then the Leader
of Opposition.
Thus, for the first time in
Indian politics, it gave a
feeling of open loot all
around the public,
involving all the major
political players being
accused of having accepted
bribes and also alleged
connections about
payments being channelled
to Hizbul Mujahideen
militants in Kashmir.
8) IPL Scam
Well, I am running out of
time and space over here.
The list of scandals in India
is just not ending and
becoming grave by every
decade. Most of us are
aware about the recent
scam in IPL and
embezzlement with respect
to bidding for various
franchisees. The scandal
already claimed the
portfolios of two big-wigs
in the form ofShashi
Tharoor and former IPL
chief Lalit Modi.
9,10) Harshad Mehta &
Ketan Parekh Stock
Market Scam
Although not corruption
scams, these have affected
many people. There is no
way that the investor
community could forget
the unfortunateRs. 4000
crore Harshad Mehta scam
and over Rs. 1000 crore
Ketan Parekh scam which
eroded the shareholders
wealth in form of big
market jolt.
So, can we live a scam-
free life in India for a
while now?

Worlds costliest house

The house (called Antilla)
is being valued at Rupees
4000 crores and will be 173
metres tall. Normally that
is the equivalent of a 60
storeyed tower, but in this
case each floor is more
than twice the height of a
normal floor, with the
result that the building will
only have 27 floors when
completed. Given the
prevailing state of
skyscrapers in Mumbai, this
building will be more than
twice as tall as the earlier
tallest buiilding. The view
from the top will be
breathtaking, no doubt.
Some other absurd facts
about this'house'..
1. 3 helipads on top. Mumbai
corporation has not given
permission for making this
operational yet.
2. Hanging gardens within the
structure
3. Swimming pool within the
structure
4. A two storey Health centre
5. Parking space for 168 cars
(6 floors). I initially thought
that meant there will be a
mini office in the building
but apparently that is not
the case. All these cars will
belong to Mukesh Ambani!
Just in case you are
interested, he drives a 5
crore Maybach now.
6. A floor exclusively for
servicing these automobiles
within the building.
7. A floor for Home theatre –
sitting capacity of 50
Most absurd of all, the
house will have a staff of
600 to do the maintenance
activities. That gives a ratio
of 1:100 for people living in
the house and those who
are paid to take care of it.
The six lucky ones are the
man himself, his wife, his 3
children and his mother
Kokilaben. The family will
be moving in from their
old home'Sea Wind' which
was a 14 floor building at
Cuffe Parade.
In fairness, Mukesh bought
the property in 2002. So he
has not spent anywhere
close to the $1 billion
people are now valuing the
property at. And it is not
just him, plenty of other
rich tycoons have indulged
in their residences. Two
people who immediately
come to mind are Mittal &
Gates.
UK-based steel tycoon
Lakshmi Mittal (he is still
an Indian citizen though)
bought the most expensive
house in London last year,
paying £60m for a place in
Kensington Palace
Gardens.Microsoft founder
Bill Gates had built as
technology showpiece
several years back. The
house is reputed to have
cost upwards of $100
million. I will write about
this particular property
sometime in the future. It is
much more interesting
than the Ambani house,
because Gates tried to
implement many new, yet
to be proven technologies
in his blueprint.
The world,s Most expensive
home
skyscraper being built in
Mumbai by Mukesh
Ambani, the richest person
in India, could be the
world's largest and costliest
home with a price-tag
nearing two billion dollar,
according to Forbes
magazine.
"When the Ambani
residence is finished in
January, completing a four-
year process, it will be 550
feet high with 4,00,000
square feet of interior
space," Forbes said in a
report on its website.
Earlier in March, Mukesh
Ambani was ranked as the
fifth richest person in the
world with a net worth of
43 billion dollars by the
Forbes magazine in its
annual list of world's
wealthiest billionaires.
While Lakshmi Mittal, who
is an Indian citizen was
ranked higher at fourth, he
is a British resident. Among
resident Indians, Mukesh
was ranked at top.
"The only remotely
comparable high-rise
property currently on the
market is the 70 million
dollar triplex penthouse at
the Pierre Hotel in New
York, designed to resemble
a French chateau, and
climbing 525 feet in the
air," Forbes said in its
report titled, "Inside The
World's First Billion-Dollar
Home."
Mukesh Ambani heads
India's most valuable firm
Reliance Industries, an oil
and petrochemicals giant.
"Like many families with
the means to do so, the
Ambanis wanted to build a
custom home. They
consulted with architecture
firms Perkins + Will and
Hirsch Bedner Associates,
the designers behind the
Mandarin Oriental, based
in Dallas and Los Angeles,
respectively," the report
said. "Plans were then
drawn up for what will be
the world's largest and
most expensive home: a 27-
story skyscraper in
downtown Mumbai with a
cost nearing 2 billion
dollars."
According to Forbes,
Mukesh, along with his wife
Nita Ambani and three
children, currently live in a
22-story Mumbai tower.
The report further noted
that the cost for the
Ambani residence, called
Antilla whose shape is
based on Vaastu, would be
more than a hotel or high-
rise of similar size because
of its custom
measurements and fittings.
While a hotel or
condominium has a
common layout, replicated
on every floor, and uses
the same materials
throughout the building,
the Ambanis' home has no
two alike in either plans or
materials used, it said.
"At the request of Nita
Ambani, say the designers,
if a metal, wood or crystal
is part of the ninth-floor
design, it shouldn't be used
on the eleventh floor, for
example. The idea is to
blend styles and
architectural elements so
spaces give the feel of
consistency, but without
repetition," it said.
"Atop six stories of parking
lots, Antilla's living quarters
begin at a lobby with nine
elevators, as well as several
storage rooms and lounges.
Down dual stairways with
silver-covered railings is a
large ballroom with 80 per
cent of its ceiling covered
in crystal chandeliers."
The report said that
Ambanis plan to use the
residence occasionally for
corporate entertainment
also and they want its
interiors to have a
"distinctly Indian" look and
feel.
"The top floors of
entertaining space, where
Ambani plans to host
business guests (or just
relax) offer panoramic
views of the Arabian Sea…
For more temperate days,
the family will enjoy a
four-story open garden," it
noted.
