Drugs Dumping


This message was forwarded to me from my Friends. Your comments are welcomed.


Please Read Very Carefully - INFORM ALL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY MEMBERS



India has become a dumping ground for banned drugs; also the business for production of banned drugs is booming. Plz make sure that u buy drugs only if prescribed by a doctor(Also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that u get what is prescribed at the Drug Store) and that also from a reputed drug store. Not many people know about these banned drugs and consume them causing a lot of damage to themselves. We forward Jokes and other junk all the time. This is far more important.


Please Make sure u forward it everyone u know.



DANGEROUS DRUGS HAVE BEEN GLOBALLY DISCARDED BUT ARE AVAILABLE IN INDIA . The most common ones are action 500 & Nimulid.

Taare Zameen Par

Taare Zameen Par..

 

Taare Zameen Par comes at a time when reports of student suicides and campus killings are haunting us as never before. Whether it’s Noida or Mumbai, kids are increasingly finding themselves at a point where they either have to join the rat race or simply be left behind. Indeed at a very basic level Taare Zameen Par talks about the travails of a special child, who is struggling to be part of the world around him.

 

Ishaan Nandkishore Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) is all of eight and has repeated his third grade already. Papa Awasthi is one angry middle-aged man who wants Ishaan to be like his older brother Yohaan (Sachet Engineer) – a winner. Caught between the father and son is the mother (Tisca Chopra) who cannot decide for herself what is right and what’s not. Things reach a head and Ishaan is packed off to a boarding school. Far away from home and family, the otherwise lively Ishaan withdraws into a shell and refuses to participate in anything whatsoever. But unknown to everyone around him and definitely not by the parameters of his father, Ishaan is a winner. And it is upto his art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir) to show the world what a unique child he is…

 

It is just amazing movie..

One Liner

1) ONE LINERS


 


1.       Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, intelligent, caring, understanding, economical and a good cook.  But unfortunately the law allows only one wife.


2.       The easiest way to make your old car run better, is to check the prices of a new car.


3.       Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.


4.       Do not marry a person that you know that you can live with; only marry someone that you cannot live without.


5.       One woman's hobby is another woman's hubby.


6.       It's what people don't know about each other that makes them such good friends.


7.       If you can't get a lawyer who knows the law, get one who knows the judge.


8.       Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second wife to his success.


9.       A man is incomplete until he is married.  After that, he is finished.


10.   I'm an excellent housekeeper. Every time I get a divorce, I keep the house.


11.   When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.


12.   We in the industry know that behind every successful screenwriter stands a woman. And behind her stands his wife.


13.   Eighty percent of married men cheat in America. The rest cheat in Europe.


14.   Marriage is like a cage; those outside are desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get out.


15.   By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher... and that is a good thing for any man.


16.   A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.  A successful woman is one who can find such a man.


17.   Marriage is a 3-ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering.


18.   Marriage is bliss. Ignorance is bliss.  Therefore


19.   Marriage is not a word, it is a sentence -  A Life Sentence!!


20.   Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.


21.   Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After marriage, the 'Y' becomes silent.


22.   I had some words with my wife, and she had some paragraphs with me.


23.   If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.


24.   The 4 food groups after one gets married:  Fast, frozen, instant and microwave.
