Wipro chairman Mr. Azim Premji's comment on reservation-Interesting

Wipro chairman Mr. Azim Premji's comment on reservation-Interesting

"....I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I
completely  support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this.

Let's start the  reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10
percent reservation  for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that.
Cricket rules should be  modified accordingly.

The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four
hit by  an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by
an OBC player  should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60
runs should be  declared as a century.

We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like
Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player. Bowlers
should bowl maximum speed of 80 km/ hour to an OBC player. Any
delivery above this speed should be made illegal.

Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race,
an  OBC player should be given a gold medal, if he runs 80 meters.

In Government jobs, let's recruit SC/ST and  OBC pilots for aircrafts,
which are carrying the ministers and politicians  (that can really
help the country...)

Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the
ministers and other politicians. (Another way of saving the
country...)

Let's be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward...

            Let's show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country.
            Let's be proud of being an INDIAN...!"

J.K. Rowling - Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them

Download

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a 2001 book written by British author J. K. Rowling about the magical creatures in the Harry Potter universe. It purports to be Harry Potter's copy of the textbook of the same name mentioned in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, the first novel of the Harry Potter series.
In a 2001 interview with publisher Scholastic, Rowling stated that she chose the subject of magical creatures because it was a fun topic for which she had already developed a lot of information in earlier books. Rowling's name does not appear on the cover of the book, the work being credited under the pseudonym "Newt Scamander".
The book benefits the Charity Comic Relief. Over 80% of the cover price of each book sold goes directly to poor children in various places around the world. According to Comic Relief, sales from this book and its companion Quidditch Through the Ages have raised £15.7 million.
