51st State - The secret of the k-word
Check out this news.
While most of you would either be outraged or be plain amused by this, just think about the possibilities it raises.
Imagine Kashmir being the 51st state, and of all us desi engineers working at a place which is a stones throw/ grenades throw (in airline distance) away from home. You get to earn thousands of dollars per year - and all the sundry benefits of working in USA, and then you get to fly home to say hi to your parents about every weekend.
Getting serious, I really feel that Dan Brown ought to get himself a life. I wonder what he is going to come up with next ?
He will observe that a torn kellogs corn-flakes box resembles the map of Maharashtra and claim that Kellogs Corporation had bartered the state for a kilo of corn-flakes. The agreement papers, according to Dan Brown, being signed with a pen which wrote with sugar syrup-ink - which unfortunately got destroyed by a hungry 3 year old.
But again, there is this possibility of it being an 'April-fool's gimmick by the website ?
