[nukkad] Fwd: FANTASTIC :



 *OLD VERSION*

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the
summer away

Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or
shelter so he dies out in the cold. *

Modern Version** *

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant 's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the
summer away.

Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands
to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others
are cold and starving. *

**NDTV**, BBC, CNN *show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper
next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with
food.

The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor
Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? *

**Arundhati Roy** *stages a demonstration in front of the Ant ' s house .

*Medha Patkar *and *Tan Shyamoli* goes on a fast along with other
Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates
during winter.*

Amnesty International and Koffi Annan *criticizes the Indian Government for
not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper.

The *Internet* is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the
Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support
as against the wrath of God for non-compliance) . *

**Opposition MPs** *stage a walkout. *Left parties* call for "Bharat Bandh"
in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry.

*CPM* in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard
in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and
Grasshoppers.. *

**Lalu Prasad** *allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian
Railway Trains, aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath'.

Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the ' *Prevention of Terrorism
Against Grasshoppers Act ' *[POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the
winter.*

**Arjun Singh** *makes '*Special Reservation*' for Grasshoppers in
Educational Institutions & in Government Services.

The Ant; fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to
pay his retroactive taxes; its home is confiscated by the Government and
handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by *NDTV.*

Arundhati Roy calls it ' *A Triumph of Justice *' .

Lalu calls it '*Socialistic Justice*' .

CPM calls it the '*Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden*'

Koffi Annan invites the Grasshopper to address the *UN General Assembly*.


*Many years later*


The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar
company in *Silicon Valley* .

100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere
in India ....

because of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the Grasshoppers, *
India** is still a developing country!!!*

People are unreasonable,
illogical, and self-centered,
Love Them Anyway

If you do good, people will
accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives,

Do Good Anyway

If you are successful, you win
false friends and true enemies,

Succeed Anyway

The good you do will
be forgotten tomorrow,

Do Good Anyway

Honesty and frankness
make you vulnerable,

Be Honest And Frank Anyway

What you spent years building
may be destroyed overnight,

Build Anyway

People really need help but
may attack you if you help them,

Help People Anyway
