Evolution of love letters

This evolution was started in the ancient period. The period was ancient but the minds of the girls and boys were as green as today.

In that period, when two people used to fall in love they had no way to communicate with each other except writing the love letters. Sometimes these letters were written with blood but as time passes on fake had entered into this process- mosquito blood had become important equipment in writing love letters. Anyway, that's not my motto of writing this article. The main trouble was how they used to pass those letters to their loved one. Yes, right the "kabutor".

This intellectual bird used to play the role of matchmaker. As a tribute to their noble profession many songs have taken places in the Hindi and Bengali movies (like the song " kabutor ja ja ja kabutor ja….). But the problem was many people didn't have trained kabutor. So they had to suffer a lot.

Considering their troubles the postal service was created. So the lovers could write letters with full of emotions, paste a stamp, and post it in the post box. But the "zalim zamana" couldn't tolerate their happiness. The cruel father or even the villain could easily vanish the love letter and could begin to torture that fellow. Poor guy!! To remove their sufferings the postal service introduced the registry service. But invain.

They couldn't improve the condition. By that time a scientist had introduced the TELEPHONE. Oh!! You guys can't even imagine the happiness of the lovers. They can talk everyday. Share their feelings. But bad guys always introduce bad ideas.

The father of the Juliet can pick up the phone or order
144 dhara near the telephone area. Another problem is getting the connection of the TNT line is a very lengthy process and by that time the Romeo & Juliet may become father and mother of at least two children. With the evolution of the technology, a scientist has invented computer.

Yes, the personal computer has modernized the love communication process. Now the lovers need not to write letters in their bad handwritings. They just type it and sometimes print it or copy it in the floppy. And give it to their loved one. They also use the Internet to mail their emotions.

No one can even know. "Dho dil mil rahi hei magar chupke chupke". They can also chat with their JAN or JANU with the MSN or YAHOO messenger, can do video conversation. OH! So many facilities!! They also use mobile phones to hear the voice at any time, send SMS. OH! God, what will come next?

Besides all of these technological facilities, no one can ignore the importance of love letters written in hand on a piece of paper with lots of emotions and love. It has a special charm.

Jar 43

A new miracle doctor was in town. He could cure anything and anybody, and everyone was amazed with what he can do. Everyone except for Mr. Smith, the town grouch.

So Mr. Smith went to this 'miracle doctor' to prove that he wasn't anybody special. So he goes and tells the doctor, "Hey, doc, I have lost my sense of taste. I can't taste nothin', so what are ya goin to do?"

The doctor scratches his head and mumbles to himself a little, then tells Mr. Smith, "What you need is jar number 43."

Jar number 43? Mr. Smith wonders. So the doctor brings the jar and tells Mr. Smith to taste it. He tastes
it and immediately spits it out, "This is gross!" he yells.
"I just restored your sense of taste Mr. Smith," says the doctor.

So Mr. Smith goes home very mad.

One month later, Mr. Smith goes back to the doctor along with a new problem, "Doc," he starts, "I can't remember!"

Thinking he got the doctor, the doctor scratches his head and mumbles to himself a little and tells Mr. Smith, "What you need is jar number 43..."

You can also choose to favour your friends with a high dosage of you 'affections'. Continuously hugging them in the overcrowded assembly hall while loudly proclaiming 'they are your best friends forever' is bound to make their eyes shoot poisonous darts at you.

Undoubtedly, the above-mentioned strategies will by now have completed your mission. This, without any doubt, is your only unparalleled guide to how you can lose friends in three easy steps.

Who's the best?

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.

The CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.

The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.

The LAPD goes in. They come out two hours later with a
badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"
