a soft drink from cow-urine - little hard to swallow!

First women were beaten up and chased out of the bars in the name of Hindu culture. Next, couples (even a brother-sister pair) were beaten up for being together on Valentine's day, as we , the hindus, are supposed to celebrate only ram leela and not Valentine's day. Now, Cow Protection Department of the RSS wants us to stop drinking "phoren" soft-drinks and drink something made from cow-urine!

The day is not far away when you walk into a Hindu-bar and the menu will look like this:

Drinks:
  • Go-mata Sherbet
  • Goratna soup
  • Gaai-Bains-Peshab-MurgaPoonch (MurgaPoonch - Cocktail)
  • Dhoodh-Peshab MurgaPoonch
  • Shudh Peshab
  • 98% unleaded Peshab
  • 95% unleaded Peshab
Main Course:
  • Frozen Peshab sticks
  • Gobar Pie
  • Gobar Pizza (with Peshab topping)
  • Goratna kurma
  • Paneer Gobar Masala
God help these guys. Actually, God help us from these guys!

when i say cancel, i mean it!

I had installed McAfee security center and wanted to rid my computer of all the junk it had accumulated over the years. First, the installation slowed down my PC to a near halt as my laptop is a pretty old one with just 512 MB RAM. Then, it took ages to start up security center.
I chose the option for "Quick Clean". Then, i got the below window saying "Cleaning in progress..."


I waited. I waited a bit more. I waited a lot more. I got frustrated and did the obvious, pressed the cancel button. I decided that it just wasn't worth the time to rid my computer of all the evil! Then, the below window showed up, "Cancellation is in progress. Please wait..."


I waited. I waited a bit more. I waited a lot more! I really got frustrated. Now, i wanted a "Cancel the cancel" button! What did the programmers think while making this installer? Isn't "cancel" supposed to mean "I have had enough of this. Just get the hell out of the installer"?
