The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays
the summer away.
Come winter,the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food
or shelter so he dies out in the cold.


Modern Version


The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house
and laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the
summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.

NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this
poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.

Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding
that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.

Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticizes the Indian Government
for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt
support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance).

Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Left parties call for "Bharat Bandh" in
West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working
hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and
Grasshoppers.

Lalu Prasad allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian
Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism
Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter.

Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation ' for Grasshoppers in
Educational Institutions & in Government Services.

The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing
left to pay his retroactive taxes,it's home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.

Arundhati Roy calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'.

Lalu calls it 'Socialistic Justice '.

CPM calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden '

Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.


Many years later...

The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar
company in Silicon Valley .

100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation
somewhere in India ...

As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the
Grasshoppers, India is still a developing country!!!

Does not always need togetherness,
If the relation is in the heart,
A true friend never goes apart

Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest, who came first or who cares the best.. Its about who came and never left..

Our friendship is not like Pepsi- yeh dil mange more, not like wills- made for each other, it is like LIC- zindagi ke saath bhi zindagi ke baad bhi...................

The Secret Language of Roses

Do you know there are messages behind different colors of roses? That's right, they have a language all their own! This was started by the Romans and used in the Victorian era as a discreet way to express one's feelings to another. Read on to find out what your favorite color means!

Red roses have always meant love-deep, passionate, ever lasting love. White roses symbolize purity and brightness. A man who gives white roses is telling his love that he thinks she's an angel! A mixed bouquet of red and white roses symbolizes unity. The man giving this kind of bouquet is saying "I stand united with you!"

Pink roses have several messages, depending on the shade. Deep pink roses symbolize gratitude and respect, while light pink roses show sympathy. Yellow roses on the other hand symbolize friendship and caring, while orange roses symbolize new beginnings, perhaps explaining why they are an increasingly popular selection for bridal bouquets!
If you receive a deep burgundy rose, someone is telling you they think you more beautiful than you realize.

The more exotic rose colors also have meanings. For example, green roses represent fertility while blue roses are symbol of mystery and intrigue. Purple roses signify enchantment and love at first sight. Black roses, not surprisingly, represent death, and perhaps more surprisingly, new beginnings.

It's not just the colors of roses that speak volumes; it's also the way they are presented.If you receive a bouquet of unopened roses, it is a symbol of youth and innocent love. If they are all white, someone is telling you they love you but you are too young. A mix of red and pink buds means you are youthful and beautiful. If you receive a fully opened rose with two rosebuds, someone has a secret! If you receive a red rose and several yellow roses, you are being invited to join in the fun! A crown of roses symbolizes virtue and is often used at weddings as such, especially in the Greek Orthodox religion. Even the leaves of a rose have a message. They symbolize hope and optimism.

Now that you know about the secret language of roses, you can stop by your local florist or farmers market and put together a secret message of your own for that special someone! They say a picture is worth a thousands words, but a bouquet of roses can speak volumes more!
