AS YOU LIKE IT !

Few people, representing a social group for fighting global warming, had come a visiting to my company. In keeping with the simple philosophy that a SANE GUY would never leave any POSSIBLE chance of interacting with a gorgeous GIRL, I headed straight to a cute girl from that group to inquire about the group and it's modus operandi...She told me about Global Warming and all that stuff..She said that she was from Korea and had come to India for campaigning...

"BAN THE BULB" was the petition that she wanted me to sign (free of cost), as she said : "Use of BULBS cause great harm to climate...Especially in a POOR country like INDIA..."
Before she could finish I interrupted: "Hold it...INDIA is a DEVELOPING Country rather than a POOR country..We are a TRILLION DOLLAR economy...We are the SECOND fastest growing economy in the world! "
She continued: "Yup..agreed...So will you sign this cause ?"

I obliged and signed it...

Then, she said: "If you like you can become a life time member of this social group..All that you need to do is fill this form !"
Me : "Great..What's the fee ?"
She : "Just 200 Rs.."
Me : WOW...Per ANNUM ..Right ?"
She: "No..per MONTH..!" (WITH SPARKLE IN HER EYES..)
I (in hesitation) said: "Sorry..I can't join.."
She: "Why?"
PAT CAME MY RETORT: "Because India is a POOR COUNTRY !"

I guess if one champions such GLOBAL ISSUES, then one must have a GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE about the WORLD (and things)..I guess, the simplest way to nurture the latter (Global Perspective) is to read daily NEWSPAPER..especially "THE WORLD" section...!!!
