Stop Racism!

This happened on TAM airlines.

A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat and saw that the passenger next to her was a black man. Visibly furious, she called the air hostess.

"What's the problem, mam?" the hostess asked her
"Can't you see?" the lady said - "I was given a seat next to a black man. I can't sit here next to him. You have to change my seat"

- "Please, calm down, mam" - said the hostess
"Unfortunately, all the seats are occupied, but I'm still going to check if we have any."

The hostess left and returned some minutes later.

 

"Madam, as I told you, there isn't any empty seat in this class- economy class.
But I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that there isn't any empty seats in the economy class. We only have seats in the first class."

And before the woman said anything, the hostess continued

"Look, it is unusual for our company to allow a passenger from the economy class change to the first class.
However, given the circumstances, the commandant thinks that it would be a scandal to make a passenger travel sat next to an unpleasant person."

And turning to the black man, the hostess said:

"Which means, Sir, if you would be so nice to pack your handbag, we have reserved you a seat in the first class..."

And all the passengers nearby, who were shocked to see the scene started applauding, some standing on their feet."

isn’t it a great??

reservation.

mishappening!!

...the reason I am sharing with you all this is to be careful while walking or jogging on side walk or trails as its winter season and sometimes there is fog we don’t know where we are heading to...and when we come to know its too late so my dear friends be very careful as to who is following you or behind you!

 
my cousin from California a 23 yrs old gurl a law student ..jogging on the trails  listening to her ipod never noticed who kept a track on her schedule or  who was behind her ..then 
one day(jus few weeks back) as she was running across the woods ..sombody came out of the bushes ..had a mask  on his face kicked her down..on grass..and trying to get hold of her cell..as she was trying to call police but he kept on kicking her ..then he tried to smash her face in dirt there hittin her hard..she kept on yelling but in vain no body could see ...then somebody across the street ,probably after leaving the kids in school  was closing the garage saw some-thing goin on across the street she shouted"hey whos there ,whts goin on ,hey wait !!..she came running towards there street on the main road...
The guy looking at her ran from the scene..The lady in the neighbourhood picked my cousin who was kinda unconscious ...and took her home ..she called the cops immediately and then my cousin was taken home by them ..who still could not get over the shock as to why it happened and who was that guy?
wht was his intentions?? he probably followed her couple of times but she never noticed busy with ipod songs ...the police said they would try to trace the person...
its scary ,could be very ugly..she was saved nick of time ...but not all of us can be that lucky...
I would highly recommend Gyms in winter as its safe and facility provides everything ...so be safe and be healthy and always look around .. "never be lost in your own world"

begging!

This is wht happens when begging runs in the family !!

bride or bribe?

 

...Dowry is a social stigma,it  leads to many other problems... female infanticides is one among them ...
why blame anyone..we are the people who make this and later repent on mistakes.
people say with confidence ..nowadays things have changed and nobody asks for dowry N people are educated and know their options But  let me tell you we pretend to be blind and want to see jus what we like even after all that happenings around us..
Indian marriages are a million dollar wedding at least...there are no ends of show-offs and attitudes ... A wedding in India which happened to be in Times Of India newspaper..created lot of noise back home...since I am frm ludhiana punjab.

spam..

...its was one of those afternoons (holidays)..n I was at home...my cousin from Canada was at home too for vacation.
I got a call ...
Me :hello
him:is it Herman?
Me:(I thought of those tel -marketing people ,they suck) before I could say she is not at home...
him: I am calling from treasury department and wanted to talk to Herman..is it her?
Me: yes go ahead this is Harman.
him: I wanted to let you know that you have been selected for $ 5,999from US treasury department in one of our lucky draws granted by President Obama for Indian Americans who have no fault in their credit history and have been a good tax payer all through these years.This proves them to be good citizens.
Me (feeling so proud of myself at this hour)
I asked ... okay... thanks for letting me know so whats the procedure so  is it check or cash?
Him: you have to take a pledge first ..you will not use use this money for any illegal means  no drugs or any illegal arms or ammunition's
ME: I will use this money jus n jus for my personal use only and not for any illegal purpose.
Him: so gimme your cell number!
Me:why?
Him: lady you will go to western union jus now and show your US ID and other papers required to collect the cash ,so to walk you through the procedure I need to talk to you through your cell when you are there.
ME: ohk fine ,but whats your name and number  your id I need to know before goin ahead so that I know whom I am talking to..
Him:My name is Thomas James ..US id blah blah blah :)
I looked at the clock it was 3pm I had to go to the salon had an appointment but so stuck here...anyways lets get this money first ..I thought..
Him: so as you reach there call me and I will tell you what to do and how to get the cash.
ME:do I need to pay anything upfront?
Him:yes $300 and that will be refunded immediately ..when you get cash.
ME: I thought why take money upfront if you give me back immediately? whts the purpose of paying that money upfront? but said nothing to him.
..I kicked my cousin s butt .. who was smiling at me and told her..lotto ..time to partyyyyyyyyy
But lets call hubby dear and give him the news too before we go to western union..
 called hubby at work...
Hubby :yaa say..
me: we have a cash from US treasury granted by Obama for paying taxes and having no fault in credit history its a lucky draw..and my name is there.. among Indian Americans...I got an official call ..
hubby : I could hear him laughing ... ok tell me ..why do you get these kinds of calls only ..why not me?
Me:okay I don't know but I have to go to western union and collect  cash..
Him.. that guy whosoever he is ..give me his number he is trying to con you..
and Obama is not our MAMA (moms brother) to distribute cash like that ... this guy will extract money from you and nothing in return...
Me: but I have his id and phone number and official details he gave it to me...jus note it down ..its REAL.
Him : give me few minutes and I will take out all the details and let you know..

In between the same guy Thomas James was calling me I could see his id on my land-line,I dint answer the call...


my hubby called me on my cell and told me there are many cases reported this month of this spam ..so don't answer anyone and don't go anywhere.
..and let me talk to him when I come home.

feeling so sad n bad lost all money :)) ...rightly judged by hubby why are these fake calls for me only? 
But Thank God I am saved!

( let me tell you most of the fake callers ask for you bank details n a/c numbers but in this case it sounded real ..could not be mistaken as all official ids were given extension number with pledge and background noise which sounded like office..and when I called back it had recording officially made to sound real..the only thing which made me surprised was$300 ;)
