Uncleji’s comment about “A boy named Sue” led me to Wikipedia, one of the sites I adore most on the interweb.
Whenever someone leaves a wiki-fied link, I gleefully click through and then I always check the “main page” to see what’s up. Without fail, I find something fascinating to read and learn. Today? No exception. 🙂
Raj Ghat, a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi is a simple black marble platform that marks the spot of his cremation on 31 January 1948. It is left open to the sky while a flame burns perpetually at one end. It is located on the banks of the river Yamuna in Delhi, India. A stone footpath flanked by lawns leads to the walled enclosure that houses the memorial. Two museums dedicated to Gandhi are located near by. The memorial has the epitaph Hey Ram, the last words uttered by Gandhi, meaning, Oh Lord!
Read the rest here, if you desire edification. 🙂
Very nice!!
Now that a joke brings mutineers to reflect on Gandhi.and samadhi..ahhhh!!
Nirvana..!! My efforts have not been in vain.
Now I can die in peace finally ;))))(like movies)
Thank you uncleji. Will remember this favor.
Peaceloving Sumita says shanti, shanti, shanti.
(angstridden coz browns are mutinous )
I think the Blindfolded Hairstylist from Chanidgarh would have been more interesting. He even does Candle-cuts. 🙂
Reuters has a report in the Video section – ‘On a Lighter Note’.
ms,
perhaps, but then i wouldn’t have been able to use the category i love most– “wiki wiki wiki wiki”. 😉
ANNA,
I meant Wikipedia probably oughta have said:
Did you know…
Nadeem Ahmed, an Indian hairstylist…
And you could have still used “wiki wiki wiki wiki”. Everybody wins. 🙂
While you are at it, also read: “Why did you want to kill Gandhi“
Why just create a new entry in Wikipedia ? Hey you ms leave my new best friend Anna alone. Especially as on the strength of her flog I have ahem a “opening” in one of my business in my capacity of spokesperson for the Mumbai Dance Bar Co-ordination Committee your thunderous booty and your dance of the seven veils combined with my Del Boy business acuman we would be pennys from heaven. Drop for some rosy lee have to make a tactical withdrawal because here comes your man
Hey desi in there but no uncleji !
I’ve just written complete gibberish and frightened everyone off the thread. please come back……… I’m just a confused old man
Alzheimers finally kicking in, huh….
you are a cruel man Jai What happened to respect for the elders. Its the desi’s USP. Its all to much for my fragile sense of selfworth, sobs
Sorry Uncleji, you’re right.
As long as you can find your way to the nearest off-licence to visit “Mr Walker” and haven’t begun asking complete strangers when’s the next train to Patiala, I think you’re okay for the time being.
And no Churchill isn’t still the Prime Minister, just in case you were about to ask.
wink
Isn’t it that nice Mr Gladstone ? Do you think that young slip of a girl Anna will forgive me ?
You could try sitting her on your knee like Santa Claus, but don’t try any of your usual funny business. Some girls may be immune to the charms of the Silver Mongoose.
I think I’ve finally figured out what you’re like in person. Have you seen Feroz Khan recently, doing his whole supercool, ladies’ man “Kojak” thing ? That’s you, but with a beard and turban 😉
As Shahrukh Khan said during a Bollywood awards ceremony a couple of years ago when Feroz saab unveiled his new persona, “When I grow up, I want to be Feroz Khan”.
“Hey Ram” does not mean “Oh Lord”.
Meher Baba met Gandi on a train and Gandhi explained what he had been doing proudly as much to say look at me , then asked Meher Baba and who are you to which he replied ” I am the highest of the high”
