Flying high with Japanese kites
Its thought that kites were first introduced into Japan by
Buddhist missionaries who travelled from China in the Nara period. Both India
and Japan have a long and wonderful tradition of kite flying, enjoyed by
children and adults alike. Amity students enjoy kite exhibition at Japan
Foundation. The Japanese kites are called ‘paper hawks’. In ancient days, they
were used for communicating and sending messages. Japanese's celebrate their
kites festival on Boys Day - May 5th.

depicting emotions, etc. At the Japanese exhibition, the Amitians were also

Mr Minister goes to school
Less corruption, greater efficiency,
faster decision making; these are some suggestions every Indian gives to our
very dear netajis during the elections. But we present to you some slightly out
of the box, wacky suggestions we have for our superstars in white that might
just help them steal the show in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Stay away from jail
Seems pretty obvious? Not so much for our ‘Laloos’ now, is it? With several politicos being put behind bars, going to jail seems the latest fad in the community. Sure it doesn’t do much good to the glorious reputation they have built over the years. They should perhaps take a cue or two from our revolutionary freedom fighter Chandra Shekhar Azad who kept his pledge of not being captured alive. The irony here is that Azad steered cleared of jail for the love of his country and our present day netas do so for the love of I-me-myself! Probably, they could learn more than avoiding jail from him now?

Babuji ko bachao
Move over Rajinikant, ACP Pradyuman
and Sir Jadeja jokes. The latest public figure to become the butt of jokes on
social media is actor Alok Nath.
For the past day or so, Alok Nath has been trending on
Twitter. What started as a simple joke snowballed and went thermonuclear as
Tweeple all across India “kanya-daaned” their jokes to the veteran actor to get
his “ashirwaad.” So we took the best tweets and made memes out of them.
Out of the many jokes doing the
rounds on Twitter and Facebook, here are some extraordinarily hilarious ones:
1. When Alok Nath was born doctor said, “Badhai ho, babu ji hue hain.”
2. When you type #AlokNath on Google Search, ‘I’m Feeling Lucky’ changes to ‘I’m Feeling Sanskari’.
3. Alok Nath has his own AIIMS - AlokNath Institute of Insaaniyat, Maanavta & Sanskaar.
4. Alok Nath went to Sunburn to do Surya Namaskar.
5. Aap was called tu before being blessed by Alok Nath.
...and many more.
So, for the actor who has lived with his ‘babuji’ roles, this funny uproar may have brought in some comic relief.

Confession
of the Indian God
Hey Bhagwaan. Raam hi raakhe. And
the most epic of them all - Oh, Jejus (Thanks Rakhi Sawant for giving us an all
time hilarious line). These seem to be our favourite greetings before we
present our beloved Indian God with our long list of demands/complaints. But
there are some things He wants to tell us too. Here are some of them.
#Film flopped. Priya left Ram.
Chunnu fell down. Why am I blamed? I have better things to do.
#For every shubh-aarambh, why do I
only get ladoos and boondi? Why not red velvet cupcakes or chocolates?
#So you think I can be bought off
with your 101 ka shagun? 100 mein toh hawaldar bhi nahi manta.
#Please understand, the jagratas are
way past my curfew time.
#I will throw you in dirty water
that stinks and then dance. I want you to know how I feel during those
visarjans.
#“Bhagwaan sabka bhala karega!” But
who will help me?
#Stop criticising Ekta Kapoor for
too much melodrama. Crying in front of me for an hour because dhobi ne sari
jala di?
#There are some things even God can’t do; helping Pappu pass without him having to study is one of them.
#There are some things even God can’t do; helping Pappu pass without him having to study is one of them.
#Don’t believe those dhongi babas,
they don’t have my BBM pin.
#Mata ka bulava nahi aaya? Should I
WhatsApp you the invitation?
#They bathe me with oil and milk
every saturday and still ask me to reduce their prices.
#You give me all kinds of
bribery-ladoos, money; I am scared I will be AAP’s next target.
