Hi all,

Wish you all a A HAppy and Safe Deepavali !!!!!

Here is a small writing about how it all started, target audience is today's "generation next" !!!

A mom asked her elder kid to explain diwali to his bro..
.
He replied:
"So luk, this dude Ram had,
like a big kingdom, & people liked him bt, like his step mom or sumthin, was kinda bitch and she forcd her hubby to send this Ram to sum jungle or sumthin..
Coz he was goin for 14yrs,
So his wife n bro went along..(U knw just 2 chill) Bt dude forest was real scary shit..
Was full of devils n shit like dat,
bt dis dude killed thm wid arrows..
Bt den sum bad gangsta- Ravan pickd up his babe sita..
Dis Dude n his bro got pissd off..
So dey got an army of monkeys..dnt ask hw...
Attackd dem,got d babe n returnd home..
People thot atleast dey deserv sumthn
Dey had no bars or clubs or smoke stuff...
So they lit lamps..
N this is how it all started..

MOM FAINTED=))

Madhul was flying home to see her family to celebrate Diwali with them. Fifteen minutes into the flight from Bombay to Delhi, the captain announced, 'Ladies and gentlemen, one of our engines has failed.

There is nothing to worry about. Our flight will take an hour longer than scheduled, but we still have three engines left.'

Thirty minutes later the captain announced, 'One more engine has failed and the flight will take an additional two hours. But don't worry . . .we can fly just fine on two engines.'

An hour later the captain announced, 'One more engine has failed and our arrival will be delayed another hour.
But don't worry... we still have one engine left.'

Madhul, turned to the man in the next seat and sighed and she said, 'If we lose one more engine, we'll be up here all day.'

"Well' be celebrating Diwali up in the Air"?

An example of some Non Residents Indians in the US who don't take this as a joke:

Ms. Sundarmurthy, what prompted you to write this story? It is a direct attack on NRI kids. Do you have any idea about what are they taught here by their parents. We thrive to teach our kids good values and Indian culture and traditions. Have you ever lived out west, if you did then you would not have written this story where you have made fun not only of our culture but of those parents who have worked very hard to stay Indian in a non Indian society and let me tell you something, there is much more use of foul language by their counterparts living out side of US. You owe us an apology for insulting our teaching in a very harsh manner.

There is something wrong with people who think it’s funny and charming to degrade other people because they were raised differently. Your story is an exaggeration, of course…I’m neither Indian nor Indian American, rather just an American. But my children are Indian American, and I just learned of this ABCD term. How dare you make others feel different and inferior simply because they weren’t given the exact upbringing you were.
Grow up.
