I was at a wine shop on an evening one day, to buy the stuff. A beggar came in begging. The owner gives him a Rupee. The beggar then produces a Rs 50 note, and wants to buy some wine :-) The owner, dumbfounded, does that. The beggar finishes off his desi daru right there.
The beggar then proceeds to the next shop. The shopkeeper drives him away, telling him that he saw what he did. Just could not help smiling :-)

On the way to Islamic banking
All right, so finally the RBI gives in to pseudo-secular socialist Congressi pressure - It has okayed high-priority loans to muslims .
Maybe they will get better interest rates ( Wasnt banking supposed to be unIslamic ? Such hypocrites ). And the banks will be forced to provide loans to muslims, the credit rating and normal checks may go to hell.
Already, muslims have been campaigning for separate banks for them, as per the Koranic guidelines. Next, I think Mr Clean aka Manmohan Singh will introduce laws to provide higher interest rates to muslim depositors. A nice scheme, aint it?
Long live India, the secular republic !!
