It was the first day of school and a new student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade. </P><P></P><P>The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. </P><P></P><P>Who said "Give me Liberty, or give me Death"? </P><P></P><P>She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775" she said. "Very good!" </P><P></P><P>Who said "Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?" </P><P></P><P>Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. "Abraham Lincoln, 1863" said Chandrasekhar. </P><P></P><P>The teacher snapped at the class, "Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more! about its history than you do." She heard a loud whisper: "F**k the Indians," "Who said that?" she demanded. </P><P></P><P>Chandrasekhar put his hand up. "General Custer, 1862." </P><P></P><P>At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke." </P><P></P><P>The teacher glares around and asks "All right! Now, who said that?"</P><P></P><P>Again, Chandrasekhar says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."</P><P></P><P>Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? S*ck this!" </P><P></P><P>Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!" </P><P></P><P>Now with almost a mob hysteria someone said "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you." </P><P></P><P>Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001."</P><P></P><P>The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're f**ked!" And Chandrasekhar said quietly, "George Bush, Iraq, 2005......<IMG src="http://immail.rediff.com/htmledit/emoticons/red5.gif"></P><P></P>]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 01 May 2007 11:46:06 +0530</pubDate><link>http://theheman.rediffiland.com/blogs/2007/05/01/History.html</link></item><item><title>Innocent chilldhood</title><description><![CDATA[<P>A little boy wanted Rs.50 very badly and prayed for weeks, but nothing<BR>happened.
