Hi,

A couple of days ago, Lt. Gov. of Delhi confirmed that North Indians take pride in breaking the law. You can read about it (and watch the video) here. With this he has successfully started a controversy (wasn't that easy?). I remember once when I had heard "You north indians!" in Bangalore. And I know for sure that traffic sense in Hyderabad is horrible. I know people who will not break traffic laws in other parts of the world and refuse to follow them in Hyderabad. "That's the Hyderabad way!" (just like Chicago!) they say. They do this just to avoid some very minor inconveniences. I have not seen this in Bangalore, Pune and Mumbai. So why single out north indians.

I think it's basically people want to get ahead of everyone in life at any cost. It's called ambition. When ambition supersedes fear of law, that's when we think it's ok to break the law to go ahead. Another case is when you think you are smart, smarter than everyone else and laws don't apply to you and you break laws for kicks. Maybe, it's just that north indians and Hyderabadis are more ambitious than people in other states. That's a good quality, isn't it? :)

Yours Sincerely,

Hi,

If you are a film buff like me, you must be aware of the controversies surrounding Ashutosh Gowarikar's to-be-released
epic Jodhaa-Akbar. In the film, a rajput princess Jodha marries a Muhgal emperor Akbar. Some historians somehow figured out that this is not what happened. They claim that this Jodha never existed and some said that if she existed then she was Akbar's daughter-in-law and not wife.

After reading this, I did some history research of my own (google+wikipedia = research). And found out the truth. And yes, it IS stranger than the fiction. So it has to be the truth. And truth prevails. The truth shall WIN.. so on and so forth.

What I found out was very strange. According to my research, these historians who made all these claims, never existed! Yes! I went through lot of historic documents, talked to Rajput Royalties, read Akbarnama thrice and nowhere I found names of these historians. Just to be sure, I searched for "historians are *" in google and these are some of the results I got:

* Historians are divided.
* Historians are pessimists.
* Historians are gossips who tease the dead.
* Historians are storytellers.
* Historians are notorious.
* Historians are biased.
* Historians are Humorless

Clearly, with all this evidence, it is proved that historians dont exist, and if they do they are a constipated lot.

Yours Sincerely,
