Its BAN Ki-moon

A letter from United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki-moon’s “chef de cabinet,” Vijay Nambiar, chastising other U.N. executives for improper pronunciation and usage of Ban’s name.

For Indian Women...

White women's opinion of Indian women & an Indian’s response.
An article was written in particular magazine. A letter from a Caucasian woman requesting response from Indian men.
She wrote:
Dear Jamie,
I'm sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Indian male readers. I am a White female who is engaged to an Indian male-good-looking, educated and loving. I just don't understand a lot of Indian females attitudes about our relationship. My man decided he wanted me because the pickings amongst Indian women were slim to none. As he said they were either, too fat, too loud, too argumentative, too needy, too materialistic or carrying too much excess baggage. Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly approached by Indian men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world. If Indian women are so up in arms about us being with their men, why don't they look at themselves and make some changes. I am tired of the dirty looks I get and snide remarks whenever we're out in public.
I would like to hear from some Indian men about why we are so appealing and coveted by them.Bryant Gumbel left his wife of 26 years for one of us. Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, the model Tyson Beckford, Montell Williams, Quincy Jones, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, Sydney Poitier, Kofi Annan, Cuba Gooding Jr., Don Cornelius, Berry Gordy, Billy Blanks, Wesley Snipes...I could go on and on. But, right now, I'm a little angry and that is why I wrote this so hurriedly. Don't be mad with us, White women, because so many of your men want us. Get your acts together and learn from us and we may lead you to treat your men better. If I'm wrong, Indian men, Let me know.Thanx-Disgusted White Girl, Somewhere in VA!!!!
RESPONSE
Dear Jamie:
I would like to respond to the letter written by A Disgusted White Girl.Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old Indian man. I graduated from universities in Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at a major corporation and have recently purchased a house. So, I consider myself to be among the ranks of successful Indian men.I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just want to set the record straight of why Indian men date white women.
Back in the day, one of the biggest reasons why Indian men dated white women was because they were considered easy. The Indian girls in my neighbourhood were raised in strict homes. They were very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they lost it to. Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look for someone who would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls.
Nowadays, in my opinion, a lot of brothers date white women because they are docile and easy to control. A lot of Indian men, because of insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated by the strength of our Indian women. We are afraid that our woman will be more successful than us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars and own bigger houses.Because of this fear, many Indian men look for a more docile woman. Someone we can control. I have talked to numerous Indian men and they continuously comment on how easy it is to control and walk over their white women. I just want to set the record straight.
I want “A Disgusted White Girl” to know that not all successful Indian men date white women.To name a few, Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, Morris Chestnut, Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Chris Rock all married strong black/Indian women and, to flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the spot light, who openly or secretly desire Indian women over white women. Ted Danson, Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name a few. I just don't want 'Disgusted White girl' to be misinformed, Stop thinking that because you are white that you are some type of goddess. Remember, when Indian Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and Nitorcris were ruling Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, you were over in the caves of Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs.Read your history!It was the Indian woman that taught you how to cook and season your food.It was the Indian woman that taught you how to raise your children.
It was Indian women who were breast feeding and raising your babies during slavery.It is the Indian woman that had to endure watching their fathers, husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail.INDIAN women were born with two strikes against them: being Indian and being a woman.
And, through all this, Still They Rise! It is because of the Indian women's strength, elegance, power, love and beauty that I could never date anyone except my Indian Queen. It is not just the outer beauty that captivates and draws me to them.It is not the fact that they come in all shapes, sizes, colors and shades that I love them. Their inner beauty is what I find most appealing about Indian women. Their strong spirit, loving and nurturing souls, their integrity, their ability to overcome great obstacles, their willingness to stand for what they believe in, and their determination to succeed and reach their highest potential while enduring great pain and suffering is why I have fallen in love with Indian women.I honestly believe that your anger is geared more toward jealousy and envy more so than snotty looks. If this were not so, then why do you continuously go to tanning salons to darken your skin? If you are so proud to be white, then why don't you just be happy with your pale skin? Why do you continue to inject your lips, hips, and breasts with unnatural and dangerous substances so you can look fuller and more voluptuous?I think that your anger is really a result of you wanting to have what the Indian woman has...BOTTOM LINE: If I were looking for a docile woman, someone I can walk over and control, I would give you a call.
But, unfortunately, I am looking for a Virtuous Woman… Someone that can be a good wife and mother to my children… Someone who can be my best friend and understand my struggles. I am looking for a soul mate… and;
unfortunately, you do not and CANNOT fit the bill.
No offence taken, none given.
Signed, Indian Man

Is this for real?

With the amount of money Q8 has been dishing out to help other Countries, not to miss out on the amount they collect from locals including expats under the pretext of fees / charges / renewals / Health Insurance etc., it is sad to see this video.
Bader... hats off to u for taking this video...

Feeling odd

Everyone falls ill sometime or another... well I've been feeling weak since yesterday. Coming from a family of medical personnel, taking our own medication is only normal (its better than wasting time visiting the clinic - especially when all ur gonna get is paracetamol...lol). This time I'm down with cold and a soar throat - I actually hate falling ill - I cannot / dont want to take a day off from work. Currently trying all possible home remedies / suggestions. http://www.home-remedies-for-you.com/
