The Ant and The Grasshopper - Incredible India......

By BR -

*OLD VERSION...*

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his

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 ant is warm and well fed.

 The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

 

 

*MODERN VERSION (excellent)*

 

 The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his

 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 criticize 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 MP's 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 GrassHopper in educational

 Insititutions & in Govt Services.

 

The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing

 left to pay his retroactive taxes, his 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 loosing lot of hard working ants and feeding the

 Grasshoppers, India is still a developing country...... *

      A sting of white pearls - A must, for every womans’ jewelry collection. For generations they have been a sign of elegance and subtle beauty. The royals worldwide have doted on this gemstone, be it our own Rajmata Gayatri Devi to go with her chiffons or Queen Elizabeth with her elaborate royal gowns. Pearls as an accessory holds its ground with whatever you wear it….   Valuable pearls occur in the wild, but they are very rare. These are called Natural Pearls . They are formed inside the shell of certain mollusks: as a defense mechanism to a potentially threatening irritant such as a parasite inside its shell, injuring the mantle tissue. The mollusk creates a pearl sac to seal off the irritation. They come in many shapes with perfectly round ones being comparatively rare. Single natural pearls are often sold as a collector's item, o
