Reminds me of a funny story which is also an eyeopener to many lazy bones!

A rich man thought it was below his dignity to attend the funerals.

But he made it point to send his walking stick to represent him.

Guess what happened when this grand man left the earth for good?

The walking stick from each and every house in the town represented its owner in his funeral!

 [h=3]100% hike only if MPs devote full time to Parliament: Nariman[/h] New Delhi, Dec. 26 (ANI): Commenting on the demand of lawmakers demanding 100 percent hike in their salary, distinguished Indian Constitutional expert Fali Sam Nariman on Saturday said they would be entitled even to 100 percent salary increase, provided that they gave all their time to Parliament. "In England, Parliament sits throughout the year, except for a few weeks here and there, because there is no provision, in England or in America, for an ordinance. "Therefore, it is of the essence that all members of Parliament must, even this limited period of 80 or 90 days, sit and must devote their full time and attention," he added.

[h=3]German business leaders fear nationalism, refugee crisis will destroy EU[/h] German business leaders fear that deep divisions over how to handle the refugee crisis and growing nationalism among member states could break up the European Union, according to five of the country's biggest industry bodies. The arrival of hundreds of thousands of people fleeing war and poverty in countries such as Syria and Iraq in Europe this year has frayed ties between European nations that were already strained by the euro zone financial crisis. Added to that, rising nationalism could endanger Europe's wealth, economic success and security, the presidents of Germany's most prominent business groups told Reuters.

With gay couple it might become a show down rather than a domestic violence!

[h=3]China passes first domestic violence law, gay couples excluded[/h] China's largely rubber stamp parliament on Sunday passed the country's first law against domestic violence, which covers unmarried people who cohabit but does not protect gay couples, a senior lawmaker said. China previously did not have a special law covering violence in the family, an issue often ignored to avoid bringing shame upon the family in traditional Chinese culture. The new law prohibits any form of domestic violence, including psychological abuse, and helps streamline the process for obtaining restraining orders.
