Hey Guys ,
this is funny as shiite!!!
Do have a read and have a laugh... If it wasnt funny , I wudnt probably have posted it here ...

Dear Michael,

My name is Chandrika, an English teacher in Madurai and your greatest fan in India. I started enjoying your music many years ago, during the late ’70s or early ’80s, back in the days when you didn’t look so much like your sister LaToya. You were my childhood idol, Michael, with your great voice, amazing dancing and wonderful Afro. You were the epitome of the phrase “tall, dark and handsome,” even if the “tall” part was largely a result of your hair.
I was proud that someone as dark-skinned as me had achieved so much and was adored by millions of people. You see, even as a child, I was made to feel uneasy about my complexion. My elder sister, Radhika, was fair-skinned and all my relatives commented that she had “good color,” while debating endlessly what had happened to me. Some thought I had played too much in the sun. Others wondered if my mother had sprinkled enough powder on me as a baby. A few concluded that, given my sister’s fair skin, all I needed was a good scrubbing in the bathtub.
If you think that was bad, you should hear what happened to me when my father, an Army captain, was transferred north to Delhi. I was a teen-ager then and had to endure all sorts of ridicule from the light-skinned girls in my school. One girl said that I was the black sheep of my family and that my parents must have bought me on the black market. I wanted to give her a black eye. Another girl kept saying I was as black as a crow. I wanted to peck her eyes out.
Children can be cruel, but Indians of all ages are obsessed with skin color. That’s why my sister got married so easily. My father placed a matrimonial ad describing Radhika as “extremely fair” and she found a groom the very next day. (He runs a tailor shop, but managed to impress my father by calling himself a “softwear designer.”) I didn’t have any luck at all with my ad, unless you count the three proposals I received from Central Prison. Those rascals must have missed the line in which I said “no bars.”
My relatives advised me to try again, saying I should put the word “fair” in my ad. So I wrote another matrimonial ad and said that I had won first prize in the science fair. But the men, they don’t care about that kind of fair. It’s so unfair.
My relatives then suggested I try various methods of lightening my skin. First I tried all the beauty creams, including “Fair & Lovely,” “Fair Glow,” and “Fairy-tale.” None of them lightened my skin, though they did manage to lighten my purse. Next I tried covering myself in a paste of coconut milk, white flour and talcum powder. That worked out well, but only until the paste dried and cracked in many places. I looked like Sonia Gandhi’s great-grandmother.
It was during this time that I noticed something amazing: You, Michael, had somehow transformed yourself from black to white. I said to myself, “He’s a great composer, wonderful singer, superb dancer. And now he’s managed to change color. Is there anything this man can’t do?”
When my relatives heard about your transformation, they told me to experiment some more. For a few years, I tried moonwalking, wearing a white glove and hanging out with lots of children. I even got myself a pet monkey named Bubbles. But my complexion didn’t change, not even under the glove.
Then someone informed me that you suffer from some sort of skin condition. If that’s true, Michael, I’m sorry to hear it. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone.
My relatives, however, want me to ask you this: Is it contagious? And if so, Michael, when are you coming to India?
 
May i know, whats so funny about this so called Indian girl's letter ?

To me, its nothing but some racial act of "poking" fun at a late "black"

rock star.

Obsession of fair skin in India is nothing new anyway.:smitten:

Yes, to you, its funny, not surprising at all from your impressive past

Again, typical Indian logic, whats the flags have to do with my post ?

May be because i miss out an Indian flag ? :smitten:

Buddy, personally i love jokes, but poking fun on the expense of

someone skin colour is one of the defination of racism, especially on

a dead person.

Like an old Chinese saying=never build you happiness on the expense

of someone else misery. :no::china:

Thanks for enlighten my sensitive mind, now may i join you for a joke

Just for fun, see i am a fast learner;


The curse of the hanging latrinesNew toilet blocks don't have the Oscar-winning appeal of open sewers, but they improve slum dwellers' lives dramatically

When you write a book about sanitation, people are always sending you helpful things to read or watch. I lost count of the number of friends who urged me to watch Slumdog Millionaire. "You'll understand why," they said. And I did, when the latrines came into view. I knew that slum; Juhu Beach, near Mumbai's non-international airport, has millionaire Bollywood stars living on one side and the Slumdog slum on the other. The film has been accused of all sorts, but most commonly "poverty ****". I think it did well to capture the paradox of slum life, which is that it is awful and that it can provoke entrepreneurial survival skills which can be worth millions: Dharavi, Mumbai's most famous slum, has a recycling industry that earns £800m a year.

But back to those Slumdog hanging latrines (so called because they hang over water or beaches). I've seen the ones on Juhu Beach. So far, so realistic. What's not realistic is the thought that two kids would be allowed to run one as a public loo. Toilets in slums can make good money, and I can't imagine that earning power being wasted on kids. There's certainly a market: in one slum I visited, there were 23 toilet seats for 4,000 people. In practice, most slum residents do what most of the 700 million Indians (and 2.6 billion people worldwide) do: open defecation. I've seen "bare bottoms doing what they must" – in the words of the Indian journalist Chander Suta Dogra – squatting by major expressways, alongside train tracks, on the beaches.

But the toilet business can be done badly. Slums are littered with crumbling toilet blocks built by politicians seeking votes. Once elected, they forget to pay for maintenance. It's not that slum people won't pay for toilets: they often pay five times more for water than people outside the slum gates, for a start. But they have to have a stake. Community-run toilet blocks work better, such as those set up by the Indian NGO Sparc. It's not easy: the chairman of one toilet, where 310 families pay membership fees to use it, had to knock on people's doors for months persuading them to join up. They did, and now the membership money has funded a computer room upstairs. Other community toilet blocks have health clinics and schools. One used the fees to pay for an ambulance, in instalments.

It might not be easy to persuade people to come together to build a toilet block – in one Indian village, it took two years and 167 meetings before people agreed. But once they do, they can do anything. It's the hardest thing to agree upon, but it has a dramatic effect. Children have free time to go to school. Women have time to work and earn money. Everyone has a bit more dignity. (If you've ever tried to defecate by a roadside wearing a sari, standing up every time a car passes while keeping your face and backside covered, you'd appreciate privacy too.) And it's all down to a decent, agreed-upon toilet – not as palatial as the one Christian Wolmar enjoyed during his visit to India, but perfectly adequate. Hopefully, by the time Slumdog II comes around, hanging latrines will have become nice, prized toilet blocks. Never mind though, Danny; there'll be plenty of open sewers left.

Now let me just type 2 very common proverbs for ye smart bob..

1) Against stupidity Gods themselves fight in vain.
2)Dont argue with a fool , he will drag you down to his level and beat with you experience..
When I posted this thread I thought it wil be a harmless banter .. but little did I know some chinese co-poster will ruin the fun...
If I start telling stories abt China and its poverty I will be derailing the thread.

May Santa bless you with some brains this Christmas xxx
 
C'mon guys.. this was a hilarious letter and lets accept it...(softwear designer was the best :lol:) have some good laughs if you like it and if not then move on... don't bring 'skin color' to this argument.
