The Prickly Pair Blog

Dude, that’s dark!

Hey guys,
We had a lot of fun yesterday.  Both of the sites look really great.  I’ll chat more with you guys about it next time we see you.  Sorry we kept you up so late.

Wow, that’s profound! Easily the most serious limerick I’ve come across.

Also very appropriate for my day since I watched 7 close coworkers get laid off. The whole day was stressful not knowing who was going to get the next call and your poem really fits well there!

Love,
B

Thank you, thank you!
I also was quite proud of this one which is why I posted it.
Well, there’s more where that came from, I just have to make sure I keep at it.

Hope you are recovering after the lay-offs. Hang in there, sister.

Cool, waiting to read more! Once we’re settled in, I’m going to create a section on prickly pair for articles/poems etc. Will also share a couple of mine then

Here’s another quick one…feel free to improve them people!

Poor Payal, she married our bro,
why she did that, I really don’t know
A pain in the neck
He is quite the wreck
now she’s in it for life, ho ho ho

That is very nice! Happy Birthday Payal

And another version of the above:

Poor Payal, she married our bro,
how she puts up with him, I don’t know
Three sisters together
couldn’t handle this brother
She must be super-human for sure

Dude, you are on a roll an really rocking it!
Keep it up!

Payal loves chocolates and dance
Up for a party at any given chance
But put her in a car
And before you’ve driven far
She’s sleeping like she’s in a trance.
Happy Birthday Payal!!!!!

Here is my Kavita for the Occasion: “BANNE KI BANNI”

Rewari se nikla ek nawaab
Jiska nahi thaa koi jawaab

Tha nahi usko apna desh manzoor
Pahunchaa laangh ke Baton Rouge

Kalam chala ke yantra laga le pahuncha IBM
Raleigh main Payal chanki, bola how lucky I am

Ghar waalon ne machaya shor, magar pakad main naa aaaya chor
Ladki thee badi hoshiyaar, jeet liya sab ka dil baar baar

Ab to bas sab ki ek tamanaa, ghar main aaye ek chota sa munna

GG, your limerick is awesome, really captures Pi’s personality. But I’ll say, Sh jiju’s poem takes the cake—can’t stop laughing. By God, hansi mein khaansi ho gayi, am choking right now!

Pi, It’s 12:00am here, so happy birthday! Hope these give you a good laugh and a great start to another year Enjoy the tweens while they last!

Love,
B

Yes, he got completely carried away…and each time i read it I can’t stop laughing )

Payal - hope you have a great day and a nice cruise trip!

Awwwwwwwwwwwww these are soooooooooooooooooooo cute and funny!!! You guys are too good!! Thanks !!

Dude, that’s awesome. I can almost feel the soft click it makes on closing and see the dirt patterns 1990 almost seems recent, I would think you bought it in ‘88 or so.

I don’t have much here but there is this night suit from 1990 I have that Pops brought me from Calcutta (I would still wear it except I’m afraid the fabric is about to give way now). Of course, back in Rewari I have my mixie from Simla (1985 I think)

I have some books from early 90’s.
Does that count?

Why 4 days early? Is it his b’day today by the hindi calendar?

Happy Birthday faaaaaaaaaather! I wish I was there too!! We must do a bingo on the 21st.

Learning from you woman. Hindi b’day to angrezi b’day, Oz to CA.
B’day hi b’day.

Sorry. Be honorable yourself if you wish to associate with honorable people. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Cialis tadalafil. I found only this - buy no prescription cialis. Buy cialis online at our licensed pharmacy. Happen due to the following reasons. Thank you very much :cool:. Amara from Sao.

That’s very nice! Diwali is my favorite festival too so I can totally relate. How about a title for the poem?

Keep ‘em coming!

I guess you come under the 250K+ income bracket, so Obama is definitely not good for you cos you are gonna see an increase in taxes. For the middle class I guess Obama’s tax policies work better.

For me its a mix of multiple things:

1. Does the disastrous presidency of Bush bias my opinion? yes.
2. I am very strongly against the war, and I am not sure if McCain would have put an end to it as quickly as I would like. This does not mean that Obama can put a stop on it immediately, but overall, I would like to see a cut in the defense spending, and McCain to me seems like he will continue the war till ‘US can claim victory’.
3. Obama is more focused on reducing our dependence on oil and developing clean energy. McCain supports offshore drilling, which I do not think is the answer, but rather a short term patch.
4. Vice presidential pick shows poor judgment on the part of McCain and I strongly believe she is not capable of leading this country if the need be, in the middle of the umpteen problems that are present today. She really dragged his ticket down with ‘Shout outs’ during a debate and a much longer list.

There are other conservative/liberal issues such as abortion/stem cell research/gay marraige but I am looking at the economic issues. That said, do I think either of them would have been able to do all that they claim/promise? No. But certainly, we have to differentiate based on what they claim they want to achieve.

My $0.02.

A quick note on Pi’s comment. Our income bracket in this area is still very much middle class. We just happen to get burned because the federal tax brackets are not adjusted to state median income levels/ standard of living etc.

The other big reason why we’ll be heavily taxed is because we don’t own a house (which truly does not make economic sense for us, nor can we comfortably afford one) and as R will readily tell you, the government shouldn’t tell us whether or not to buy a house through their incentives. Anyway, look at the mess it got everyone in, so why not have the same tax rebates for rent as for mortgage payments.

Coming back to point 1, this is one of the big reasons I personally can NOT agree with the Robinhood approach. The government can NEVER fairly identify whose pocket to reach into and whose to fill up. For much of the middle class it translates into simple tax benefits but there will definitely be a lot of unfair taxing on hard working entrepreneurs while the lazy have lesser incentive to work.

I’m still happy that Obama won but it’s just not as simple as that.

Wow, that is well said….

Pi, on your point on increase in taxes: the place where we live (California ) is one of the most progressive states in the country. With the highest sales tax (8.5%) and high income taxes (9.5%) for families making more than 100K, you would think we would have great social programs and a comfortable life in CA.

Rather, the state, as always, is so close to bankruptcy that is it is desperate for federal grants to bail it out at this point. That makes me wonder whether the government can ever be competent enough to spend our money wisely long term.

Continuing on taxes, add a higher federal tax bracket on top of it and the other long list of taxes for the self employed/enterpreneurs (15% payroll tax, medicare tax etc.), how much is left in our pockets at the end of the day to work hard for an extra buck ? This is where I think a few of the activist policies are misguided.

On the risk of being pedantic here: Do remember that capital moves freely across borders. If U.S. changes its tax policies and labor policies to reduce an investor’s rate of return, capital will just move to other countries… Ultimately, you want private capital to create jobs, not the heavily indebted federal or state governments.

And for my 2 cents worth, I just think it is a credit to the nation that 50 years after struggling to be equal citizens, a colored man is leading the nation.

This man (RJ) lives on a different plane and speaks a language of his own. I can only hope to understand him one day.

I agree 100% that there’s much to be happy about. Although I haven’t been swept off my feet by the Obama wave—I suppose when a man resembles your husband there’s only so much you can take of him, I think he does have the charisma and pragmatism we need at this time to restore our faith in this nation. Good luck to him (and all of us)!

Meanwhile, my soft corner for palin grows bigger (I will wait for some ugly reactions before explaining further :D).

Happy Diwali to everyone (and a Happy New Year)—Love, Da & B

Dude, you’re becoming so Aussie in your speak.

This poor Nan, we all have such major expectations from him…no wonder Mitts doesn’t want to accept she’s smart
