				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A forensic laboratory in Hyderabad&nbsp; reported that the CD of Varun Gandhi&#8217;s speech made in March was not doctored. And Maneka Gandhi, expectedly, jumps in with her <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Forensic-report-on-Varuns-speech-one-sided-Maneka-Gandhi/articleshow/4683090.cms" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">comments</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Maneka Gandhi on Sunday said forensic reports verifying the contents of&nbsp; a CD containing his purported hate speeches were a &#8220;one-sided version&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;The entire tape is doctored, words have been interchanged&#8230; the forensic report is a one-sided version,&#8221; the MP from Aonla in Uttar Pradesh told reporters here on her way to a party conclave.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now, what on earth is a <em>one-sided forensic report</em>? Does Maneka expect a report to have &#8220;for&#8221; and &#8220;against&#8221; sections like a debate in BJP&#8217;s chintan baithaks? </p>
<p>Or maybe she is suggesting that the CD should have been flipped like an audio-cassette by the forensic guys to hear the second side as well? And in that case, probably we would discover more versions of hate speeches by her <em>suputra</em>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking at the way the great Indian gutter press has been reacted to MS Dhoni&#8217;s approach to the media, I am amused. I have always been amused at the typical Indian journalist&#8217;s idea that they are very important people and everyone should treat them with extreme respect. Well I have never thought of Indian scribes any better than clowns and apparently many other people think the same way. </p>
<p>This reminds me of a small incident that happened a few months ago.</p>
<p>It was a petrol pump where a guy just ahead of me in the queue got into an altercation with the filling attendant &#8211; regarding if he had reset the pump-meter before filling up the tank. </p>
<p>When the argument wasn&#8217;t going anywhere, the car owner decided to throw his weight around. He pointed to a sticker on his car which prominently said &#8220;PRESS&#8221; and asked &#8220;<EM>tujhe maloom hai, main kaun hoon?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>The filling attendant, smiled, adjusted his cap and shot back &#8211; &#8220;<EM>Kapde istree karne waale ho?</EM>&#8220;</p>

<blockquote>
<p>Men live longer if they marry a younger woman, according to population statistics.&nbsp; What&#8217;s more, men who tie the knot with older women are more likely to die early, the study at Germany&#8217;s Max Planck Institute found. </p>
<p>According to the research, blokes cut the risk of premature death by 11 per cent if their wives are seven to nine years younger, reports The Daily Express.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I am not sure if having a younger&nbsp;wife helps you die an octogenarian- but one thing I know for sure &#8211; once you are married, life seems long anyway. </p>
