Swap/Nimo
Eye hie soo chaleche yaar,
Kusoo nai baila chokri ne paisa
Mare tho America javuche ne millionaire thavuche
Evu chai, thya su karse ena kartha aiya re
Thane kabar nathi pardthi, India maa kasu nathi
Akho divas bhanvanu ne cricket ramvanu pan ena pachi su
Papa su bolse, mami tho radsej, kochu thane thari sate badha tho lades
Ema su, kasija, ave ooh jowchu, mari jingi pachi lochu avirite moto tochu
Badha ne kaida ooh garib nati revano,
Badha ne kaidas thya America ma revado
Navai lageche, dharma ni yaad nai, todik dook bi nai,
Lagan karis koni sathe
Mare pivuche, tho pivade ah navu pani
Tho jaa, pun maro dil tho resej Hindustani

Chorus
Maru dhil, my heart, maru loi, my blood from the start
Mari nath, my family two worlds apart,
How do I move on bhai,
Kevirithe jais, cuz no matter where I go,
My sould is in the same place

Nimo
dear bro its been a long time since we talked,
four years since I stepped off that plane, how’s mom and pops
as for me I’m workin’ hard learnin’ the ropes of the game
I went from a nobody to lots of fortune and some fame
In my own eyes, I think I’m doing really well,
Got lots of money so tell nobody to worry about my wealth
As for my health, well, it could be a little better
But take care of yourself, love your bro, I’ll storm through this weather
Swap
Maro bhai, mane lageche ke thane bho faveche
Saru tho jivan jivo pun thabyat kevi lageche
Mami ne papa ni yaad aveche ke bulighayo
Emni thabyat bagdeche jare thu pasai pache padigayo
Harigayo, ah jingi aveche ne jaiche
Saru to maro bhai, saro bhai, thu maro dhai chu,
Tho maro bhailu, thu maro dhil chu
Seni mate avirete jivan jivu chu

Nimo/Swap
Hello my brother how are you
Bhai kem che
You like my new suit just got it tailored Sergio valente
Ah mari vow meena ne apri baby chivani, besija kasu kah, cha, nasto ke pani
Here’s a gift for your wife, a baby doll for your girl,
I can’t wait till its my turn to bring a new life into this world
Tho lagan kyare karis, threes varus pathigaya
There’s no time for all that and I refuse to do a biodata
Family joyeche, pun lageche ke maligayo,
Thu ne thara paisa, tharo lagan thaygayo
Let it go, let it flow, I already know where I stand
What I have, my two hands, my one life and my fam
Aah vaat, kari che, ke thu kali kali boluchu,
Why do you keep on asking me this, you know that you know its true
Evu che? I guess that’s it…
Ave ooh America jochu..
No I would never let you go what I’ve gone through

Funny Retorts

I am nobody.
Nobody is perfect.
Therefore, I am perfect.

God is love.
Love is blind.
Ray Charles is blind.
Therefore Ray Charles is blind.

Q. Which is worse, ignorance or apathy?
A. I don't know and I don't care.

24 hours in a day.
24 beers in a case.
Coincidence?
I think not!

No one ever says, "It's only a game." when their team is winning.

Ham and Eggs.
A day's work for a chicken;
A lifetime commitment for a pig.

I still miss my ex.
But my aim is getting better.

To all you virgins:
Thanks for nothing!

If you think there is good in everybody,
you haven't met everybody.

I was only looking at your nametag, honest!

It's a small world,
so you have to use your elbows a lot.

I spent most of my money on whisky, women and cigarettes.
The rest, I just wasted.

It may be your sole purpose in life to simply serve as a warning to others.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic.

People who say you can't buy happiness, just don't know where to shop.

Join the army.
Travel the world,
meet interesting people,
and kill them.

We are born naked, wet and hungry.
Then things get worse.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Don't drink and drive.
You might hit a bump and spill something.

Reality is only an illusion
that occurs due to a lack of alcohol.

It's not whether you win or lose but how you place the blame.

If we weren't meant to eat animals then why are they made of meat?

I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.

Red meat is not bad for you.
Fuzzy green meat is bad for you.

If you are going to lay around the house and drink beer all day, you've gotta start early in the morning.

Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.
Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

I want to die asleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

I'm not insensitive.
I just don't care.

One good thing about alzheimer's is you get to meet new people every day.

Artificial itelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

Always give 100% at work:
12% Monday
23% Tuesday
40% Wednesday
20% Thursday
5% Friday

The latest survey shows that three out of four people make up 75% of the population.

Confession is good for your soul,
but bad for your career.

Meetings.
A practical alternative to work.

To err is human.
To forgive is against company policy.

Tell me again how lucky I am to work here.
I keep forgetting.

If you love something set it free.
If it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it.

I think sex is better than logic,
but I can't prove it.

- bumper sticker -
Horn broken. Watch for finger.

Kinky is using a feather.
Perverted is using the whole chicken.

The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.

Is reading in the bathroom considered multitasking?

Chaos, panic and disorder.
My work here is done.

I can only please one person per day.
Today is not your day.
Tomorrow is not looking good either.

Atheism:
A non-prophet organization.

How much can I get away with and still go to heaven?

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I don't have a license to kill.
But I do have a learner's permit.

First draw the curve,
Then plot the data.

Life is uncertain...
Eat dessert first!

I pretend to work.
They pretend to pay me.

All I want is less to do,
more time to do it,
and more money
for not getting it done.

Some push the envelope.
Some just lick it.
And some can't find the flap.

The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard.

Wanted:
A meaningful overnight relationship.

Sometimes I wake up grumpy.
Other times, I let her sleep.

I'm busy.
You're ugly.
Have a nice day.

VIDEO: The Many Faces of Romania

7 mts 38 secs

Click on the image above, and then click on play button once it becomes available.

Very interesting video. Interesting and informative.

But towards the end, if Bush's endorsement is supposed to lend any credibility to the little nation, I must say the the makers of the video are sorely mistaken. All that Bush's appearance does is remind one of the fact that Romania was a member in Bush's "coalition of the willing", and trust me, that is not a pleasant memory.

Anyways, Bush aside, the video provides a glimpse into this beautiful country.

AUDIO: Andrii Popa - A Romanian folk song

3 mts 29 secs

Click on the image above, and then click on play button once it becomes available.


This is a folk song's rendition by Pasarea Colibri. Andrii Popa is a folk-hero, something of a Romanian Robin Hood. Enjoy!


Cine trece-n valea seaca
Cu hangeru fara teaca
Si cu pieptul dezvelit
Andrii Popa cel vestit
Andrii Popa cel vestit

Sapte ani cu voinicie
Si-a batut joc de domnie
Si tot prada neincetat
Andrii Popa hot barbat

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

Zi si noapte tot calare
Trage fir din drumu mare
Si din tara peste tot
Fug neferii cat ce pot
Fug neferii cu ce pot

Caci el are-o pusca plina
Cu trei glonti la radacina
Si are un murg de patru ani
Care musca din dusmani

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic


Si are frati de cruce sapte
Ce au supt sangele cu lapte
Si nu-i pasa de nimic
Andrii Popa cel voinic
Andrii Popa cel voinic


E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinic

E haiduc si e vestit
Andrii Popa cel voinïc

Who roams in the dry valley
With the sword unsheathed
And open chest
Andrii Popa the famous


For seven years with bravery
He has mocked authorities
Robbing constantly
Andrii Popa the thiefman

He's an outlaw and he's famous
Andrii Popa the strong




Riding day and night
Barricades the big roads
And from all over the country
Tyrants run away as fast as they can


‘Cause he has a loaded gun
with 3 bullets at the root
and a 4 years old brown horse
which bites enemies











And he has seven cross-brothers
Who have drunk milk with blood
And he cares about nothing
Andrii popa the strong

It's a dog's life

A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a note in its mouth.

He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please? The dog has money in its mouth, as well."

The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to shut the shop and follow the dog.

So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street, when it comes to a level crossing; the dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then it waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and it walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way.

The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe as the dog stops a bus by pulling its left leg up and gets in it. The butcher follows the dog into the bus. The dog then shows a ticket which is tied to its belt to the bus conductor. The butcher is nearly fainting at this sight, so are the other passengers in the bus. The dog then sits near the driver's seat looking outside. As soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags its tail to inform the conductor. Then, without waiting for the bus to stop completely, it jumps out of the bus and runs to a house very close to the stop.

It opens the big Iron Gate and rushes inside towards the door. As it approaches the wooden door, the dog suddenly changes its mind and heads towards the garden. It goes to the window, and beats its head against it several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door. The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking him and punching him, and swearing at him. The butcher surprised with this, runs up, and stops the guy.

"What in heaven's name are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of me! "To which the guy responds: "You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key."

Moral of the story.....

You may continue to exceed onlookers expectations but shall always fall short of the boss' expectations.

It's a dog's life after all.....

Philosophy and Proof

An eccentric philosophy professor gave a one question final exam after a semester dealing with a broad array of topics.

The class was already seated and ready to go when the professor picked up his chair, propped it on his desk and wrote on the board: "Using everything we have learned this semester, prove that this chair does not exist."

Fingers flew, erasers erased, notebooks were filled in furious fashion. As is usual for philosophy exams, most students wrote over 30 pages in one hour attempting to refute the existence of the chair.

One member of the class however, was up and finished in less than a minute.

Weeks later when the grades were posted, the rest of the group wondered how he could have gotten A when he had barely written anything at all.

His answer consisted of two words: "Which chair?"

Ads I Hate: IBM - I'm Not Like Everybody Else

1 mt 00 secs

Click on the image above, and then click on play button once it becomes available.

This ad sucks so badly, that I had to create this special category "Ads I Hate". Seriously, what were they thinking? Probably, this sort of thinking is what led to the downfall of the Big Blue.

I mean, the commercial sets a negative tone right in the beginning with that factory chimney from which cute blue flowers float out. Contrary to whatever the admakers' intention must have been, it looks like a truant, polluting factory. And though the people keep singing the catchily composed "I'm not like everybody else", they all look the same. They all look like automatons churned out of some human factory. I am sure this is not by design.

A warning will appear. Click OK to allow the ActiveX control required to play this video.








Click on image once it becomes available.

Jay Leno had Bright Eyes perform "When the President Talks to God" on his show.

When the president talks to God
Are the conversations brief or long?
Does he ask to rape our women's' rights
And send poor farm kids off to die?
Does God suggest an oil hike
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Are the consonants all hard or soft?
Is he resolute all down the line?
Is every issue black or white?
Does what God say ever change his mind
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
Does he fake that drawl or merely nod?
Agree which convicts should be killed?
Where prisons should be built and filled?
Which voter fraud must be concealed
When the president talks to God?

When the president talks to God
I wonder which one plays the better cop
We should find some jobs. the ghetto's broke
No, they're lazy, George, I say we don't
Just give 'em more liquor stores and dirty coke
That's what God recommends

When the president talks to God
Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade
When the president talks to God

When the president talks to God
Does he ever think that maybe he's not?
That that voice is just inside his head
When he kneels next to the presidential bed
Does he ever smell his own bullshit
When the president talks to God?

I doubt it

I doubt it

It's tough out there for a dick

It ain't easy being a dick!

I've got a head I can't think with...

...an eye I can't see out of...

...I have to hang around with two nuts all the time...

...my closest neighbor is a real asshole...

...my best friend is a pussy...

...and everytime I get excited I throw up :-(

About Mahabharat: Wait a minute!

In some remote village of India, one masterji is teaching the Mahabharat katha to class 6 students. He is at the 'krishnajanma' part of it.

Masterji: "Kansa heard the akashwani that his sister's 8th child is going to kill him. He was furious. He ordered to put vasudev n devki behind the bars. First son is born, and kansa kills him by poisoning... Second one is born n kansa throws him off the mountain peak. Third one is born..."

Now Ramu, who is smartest of the lot, puts up his hand. Masterji, I have a doubt (sounding nervous n confused)

Masterji: "Ramu bete, whole india does not have doubt in mahabharata then how come u have one?"

Ramu : Masterji, if Kansa knew that Devaki's 8th child was going to Kill him, WHY THE HELL DID HE PUT VASUDEV AND DEVAKI IN THE SAME CELL ?

Masterji fainted........................
