On the day India’s “market regulator”—the Securities and Exchanges Board of India (SEBI)—finally came face to face with a man who had eluded them for nearly a month, NIKHIL MADHAV RAO forwards a joke that is on us.
***
Three famous Indian magicians are drinking at a “permit room” in Bombay.
The first boasts: “During my last show in Mangalore, I made two women from the audience disappear. Even the Sri Rama Sena couldn’t guess how I had done it.”
The second magician says: “That’s nothing. At my open air show in New Delhi I made the Qutub Minar disappear. Even the National Security Guard couldn’t guess how I had done it!”
The third sighs: “You guys are so local. When I went to Paris and made the Eiffel Tower disappear for a full hour. Even Interpol couldn’t guess how it was done!”
Just then a familiar figure walks into the bar. The three magicians turn quiet, exchange furtive glances and begin to slip away.
The curious bartender exclaims: “Yaaradhu maraya, what happened? Who is that guy?”
One of the magicians whispers: “He is the Master before whom we are lowly amateurs. He has done the biggest disappearing trick of all time. His name is Byrraju Ramalinga Raju. He made $1.5 billion disappear from his company’s balancesheet in front of everyone’s eyes over seven years, and the entire world is still looking for it!”
Joke in circulation in a different variant. But the butt again is Raju.
lol……..
“There are a lot of things you can do for $10,” said PC Magazine Editor Lance Ulanoff. “Buy 10 cups of coffee. … Get a cheap T-shirt or two. What you can’t do, however, is build a PC.”

There was another Lady Magician Sonia who made India disappear, in front of all the foolish Indian politicians!
Another joke is here.
Narayana Murthy’s PA, Premji’s PA and Ramaraju’s PA go to bar. After drinks, Narayana Murthy’s PA coolly walks out without paying. When stopped he says he is Rai Bahadur’s PA and hence he need not pay. Premji’s PA figures out that bill is more than $50, the limiting amount for gifts and grease money his company policy allows. So he pays only $50 and walks out. Ramaraju’s PA flicks $50 left by Premji’s PA on table and climbs a tiger and goes out. Bar tender tries to stop the tiger and Ramaraju shouts don’t stop me.. I do not know how to get off the tiger and disappears.

That was a good forwardd….
As Kaushik Basu opined in the BBC pages, Satyam saga unfolding is somewhat face saving for India’s IT industry. The industry is not in question anymore. Thieves are a common phenomenon everywhere.
Question should be raised why YSR was protecting Raju from SEBI for so long.
And Raju’s link with YSR and Congress shd be probed thoroughly, though indications from the way Bofors was buried by Sonia, makes it doubtful.

Auditor’s one line report on Satyam’s balance sheet- ‘ on the left hand nothing is right, & on the righthand nothing is left’!

You know what was missing from the so-call “unveiling” of India’s $10 laptop yesterday? Photos. Now we think we know why. The $10 laptop is not a laptop at all

ತೋಳ ಹಳ್ಳಕ್ಕೆ ಬಿದ್ರೆ ಆಳಿಗೊಂದು ಕಲ್ಲು. ದೊಡ್ಡ ತಿಮಿಂಗಲಗಳ ಕಡೆ ಯಾರೂ ನೋಡಲ್ಲ. ಬರೀ ಸೊಳ್ಳೆ, ತಿಗಣೆ ಆದ್ರೆ ಎಲ್ರೂ ಹೊಸಕಿ ಹಾಕೋರೇ

@Rooney,
Even this $10 laptop is an Andhra scheme. It is released in Tirupathi. These people suck big time
The $10 laptop further cements the bad image India is getting post Satyam. Our politicians have their heads in their ass. This $10 laptop is nothing but a brick sized storage drive for 4GB!.. The thumb size storage drives for 4GB are available at bestbuy for $10!!!!
In fact I asked the “Donga” assoicated with that projectt, what was meant by the following statement. “$10 laptop will support microsoft office applications?”
He clairified that thumb drive will be used to store tutorials which teach Microsoft office applications. LOL!!!
Another Rajugiri!!!!!
