Self replicating emails

The spurt of self replicating emails on the net is on the rise. You are asked to click on the link and bang, the email is sent to all your contacts. While there is not much to talk about it, I am actually wondering what makes the people so curious to know what the link contains. As long as the email contains, "Who has added you", "Who has deleted you", it is ok. But when the email contains sexually explicit stuff, then I feel like laughing, because then your contacts know, that you were trying to be naughty. The same thing has happened with me on Orkut. I received a video on scrap showing some #$@@ video. Knowing that it is trouble, i didnt click on the video. What made me understand this, is the fact that the video was sent to me by a person I least expected to send it to me. I have now come to understand that the poor person, out of curiousity just clicked on video out of curiosity, and now is subject to jabs and pokes from all her contacts. Poor female is shocked not knowing what to do.

The Best is to just delete such scraps, links, emails sent by your contacts. Do it now, before, you are in a big soup.

Agricultural Land in India

I had an opportunity to hear this chatter while travelling in a share cab. Two gentlemen were discussing why agriculture production is reducing year after year. Their reasoning is as follows....

A farmer is very happy with his 16 acres of farm land. He distributes his land equally to his four sons. So each gets 4 acres. There four sons have two sons each, so they distribute their land equally. So each gets 2 acres. This land is further distributed down the generation to two sons. The new generation gets 1 acre of land. Now in this 1 acres, is the person going to build a house, do farming or what. No, the new generation farmer will give the land on annual lease to his villager and go to the city to do a job. He is quite happy being called a city person. And the villager... how much will he work on the land.

Not bad, but sadly this is the fact of life. Down the generations, India's main production is being wiped off.
