Funny Bone

Being Humorous is probably a born gift. Try as one may, there's only so much to be achieved by poor others. Yet like most of those "others", I am blessed with witty friends with funny bone. And here is an interesting instance of a close friend displaying his sense of humour, yet again.

He was insistant on getting my address, for no good reason I could think of, so I shot back saying unless you are sending me a check on million dollar, you dont deserve it, and assuming that it is what you want, its "302 Easy Street Apt 120 Mountain View CA". And just 23 minutes later I see this guy reply.

Housing problem at its peak !

Cost of living in CA forces people (and saints from India) to move towards mountains. In a recent breakthrough discovery, one of the well known babas from India (who was an IISc scholar before re-incarnation to baba), has been found living on a mountain peak. He calls this tough life as 302 (equivalent of terminal punishment in Indian Penal Code). The baba also calls this as an 'easy street' to gain psychological releif. Living at point 120 (the highest peak in his area), the baba calls this as 'mountain view'.

The baba has recently asked for a dollar 1 million donation from one of his followers in India for building a decent ashram cum house. The baba can be contacted at -

Now now..Ain't that quick wit. Any more takes Old Man !!

And Yeah just to set the records straight, I am still waiting for those million dollars. I now accept only "Pay^ingPal" pals.

[PS: Address a little changed to "protect" identity, though obtruders in my quiet life forced me to leave my mountain peak anyways]
