During the Cold War, if USA launched a nuke-loaded missile, Soviet satellites would inform the Soviet
army in 3 seconds and in less than 45 seconds Soviet counter-missiles would d be on their way. Recent
studies commissioned by US department of Defense included one on nuclear war between India and Pakistan.
 
This was their scenario.................
 
The Pakistan army decides to launch a nuke-missile towards India. They don't need any permission from
their government, and promptly order the countdowns. Indian technology is highly advanced. In less than 8
seconds, Indian army detects the Pak countdown and decides to launch a missile in retribution.
 
But they need permission from the Government of India. They submit their request to the Indian President. The
President forwards it to the Cabinet.
 
The Prime Minister calls an emergency Lok Sabha session.
 
The LS meets, but due to several walkouts and severe protests by the opposition, it gets adjourned
indefinitely. The President asks for a quick decision. In the mean time, the Pak missile failed to take off
due to technical failure. Their attempts for a re-launch are still on.
 
Just then the Indian ruling party is reduced to a minority because a party that was giving outside
support withdraws it. The President asks the PM to prove his majority within a week. As the ruling party
fails to win the confidence vote, a caretaker government is installed.
 
The caretaker PM decides to permit the armed forces to launch a nuclear missile. But the Election Commission
says that a caretaker government can not take such a decision because elections are at hand. A Public
Interest Litigation is filed in the Supreme Court alleging misuse of power by the Election Commission.
 
The Supreme Court comes to the rescue of the PM, and says the acting PM is authorized to take this decision
in view of the emergency facing the nation.
 
Just then one of the Pak missiles successfully took off, but it fell
 
367 miles away from the target, on its own government building at 11.00AM.
 
Fortunately there were no casualties as no employee had reached the office that early. In any case, the
nuclear core of the missile had detached somewhere in flight.
 
The Pakistan army is now trying to get better technologies from China and USA. The Indian
Government, taking no chances, decides to launch a nuclear missile of its own, after convening an
all-party meeting. This time all the parties agree.
 
Its three months since the army had sought permission.
 
But as preparations begin, "pro-humanity", "anti-nuclear" activists come out against the Government's decision.
 
Human chains are formed and Rasta rokos organised.
 
In California and Washington endless e-mails are sent to Indians condemning the government and mentioning
"Please forward it to as many Indians as possible".
 
On the Pakistan side, the missiles kept malfunctioning. Some missiles deviate from target due
to technical failures or high-speed wind blowing over Rajasthan.
 
Many of them land in the Indian Ocean killing some fishes.
 
A missile (smuggled from USA) is pressed into service. Since the Pakistan army is unable to understand its
software, it hits it original destination: Russia.
 
Russians successfully intercepts the missile and in retaliation launches a nuclear missile towards Islamabad.
 
The missile hits the target and creates havoc. Pakistan cries for help.
 
India expresses deep regrets for what has happened and sends in a million dollars worth of Parle-G biscuits.
 
Thus India never gets to launch the missile.
 
Pakistan never gets it right.
 
And we live happily ever after!!!!

An Interesting Conversation -- Must Read

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof : So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm?
Student is silent.

Prof: You can't answer, can you?
Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?
Student does not answer.

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?
Student has no answer.

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Now the student said can I ask something to you Professor.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn't.

(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.
You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.


Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive. .
 

WANT TO KNOW WHO THAT STUDENT WAS?

This is a true story, and the student was none other than
