  Ronald Reagan, Idi Amin and Queen Elizabeth all died and met in hell.   While there, they saw a red phone and asked what the phone is for.  The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth. Idi Amin calls Uganda, Africa and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Idi Amin writes him a check. Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that cost is 6 million pounds, so she writes him a check.  Finally Ronald Reagan gets his turn and calls USA and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00 dollars.  When Idi Amin and Queen Elizabeth hears this, they both go ballistic and asks the devil why Ronald Reagan got to call USA so cheaply. The devil smiles and replies: "Since Trump took over, the country has gone to hell, so it's a local call".  $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ One motorist ...

  Are soups and salads always healthy? Know what experts say Hunger pangs are often difficult to ward off. They become especially challenging when you are on a weight-loss journey, and that is when you may end up consuming unhealthy foods like chips or fried snacks. However, a lot of people prefer  soups  and salads to satiate their cravings as they are considered a healthier alternative. But, experts point out that soups and salads are not always a healthy choice and you need to keep some important things in mind before consuming them. “I don’t recommend having soups or salads as the three main meals as they don’t make a balanced meal. It’s advisable to stick to them only for breakfast or dinner. For lunch, you should consume carbohydrates like rice, wheat, jowar or  millet ,” nutritionist Soumya B Hegde told  indianexpress.com . She added that soups and salads are “good for people who want to lose fat or weight quickly”. “Make healthy and thick soups l...

  Sweet corn vs Desi Bhutta:  Which is healthier? Be it sweet  corn  or roadside desi  bhutta  (corn on the cob), both have their own charm. But when it comes to their impact on one’s health, one variety is found to be better than the other. So, what should you eat — sweet corn or bhutta? Celebrity nutritionist Munmun Ganeriwal shared a long post on social media recently, to talk about the difference between sweet corn and desi roasted corn. Sweet corn, said Ganeriwal, is grown from imported hybrid seeds that need “a lot of resources to grow”. Its nutrient density is also compromised while being high on sugar. “…it requires a liberal use of pesticides. With larger food miles in procuring these seeds, it’s nutrient density is compromised and environmental load is high. And one cannot overlook the high sugar content that it has along with the most negligible fibre content,” the nutritionist wrote. Indigenous corn, on the other hand, comes in more than...

  Wish List of A Honey Jar   "We are Brahmins, what to say! It is our rotten fate that today I have to wash dishes and sweep floors in other's houses. There was a time when my in-laws used to have seventy bighas of land in Kanpur but what to say all the brothers of my husband were idiots so after their father's death their uncles cheated them and took away all their lands and ornaments. You may think I am telling you lies but what to say in my parents' house I was too much pampered by my uncle. My mother died when I was very small. My father never married again but you know he never used to take care of us. 'Us' means me and my brother. But all that deficiencies were compensated by my uncle. What to say you may not believe if I used to demand anything in the morning I surely used to get it by the evening and now months after months I don't even buy a blouse just for my kids because they are the ones for whom I live now. All this hard work day and night,...

  The Dawn of the Air Age   Qrville and Wilbur Wright – were the young operators of a modest neighbourhood bi-cycle shop at 11/27 West Third Street in Dayton. After years of experience with aeroplane models in a wind tunnel, the Wright brothers had established firm principles of design and then built their first powered aeroplane capable of carrying one of them. Their little craft, the Kitty Hawk Flyer, had a wingspan of just over 40 feet and weighed only 605 pounds.   It was powered by a frail four-cylinder engine that developed 12 h.p.  at full throttle. After several unsuccessful tries from the lower slope of  Kill Devil Hill on December 14, the brothers moved to the largest of the nearby sand dunes at Kitty Hawk. In true pioneering spirit, the Wright brothers were ready to try again. The date: Thursday, December 17, 1903.   A cold and biting wind coming off the Atlantic Ocean did not provide ideal flying  weather,  but the Wrights ...
