Read about the most hilarious pranks of the world The Spaghetti Harvest: Even after half a century, it remains one of the UK's most famous April Fool's Day jokes. Back in 1957, BBC news show Panorama announced, that Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop due to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil. It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied that they should "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best." Th...

By: Sharon Supriya Falling in love for the second, third, fourth, fifth... and nth number of time is Hollywood style (Well! Bollywood is accepting the trend recently). Read to know all that confusion about true love with three different arenas of love life. Search for Mr/ Miss Perfect When I was in college I had few friends who were in and out of relationship every six months. I used to awe at the rate of speed they moved. Once when I asked Stella, (a good dancer ) the reason for leaving her ex boyfriend she promptly replied, "because he couldn't dance". Sounds strange!! Today's generation have lost the meaning of good relationship, commitment, and need for adjustment. They look in for the Mr/ Miss Perfect and bounce into every possible character just to return back with a deep hurt. Loved- hurt- and loved again- and hurt again...... Let us move to the second situation where an individual falls in true committed love to realize that the other was a fraud. Sandy fell i...

By : Sharon Supriya As I knocked opened the wide creaky wooden gate to enter the 'Insane world' (as looked upon by the sane people - 'Mental asylum'), cold sweat ran down my spine. I had packed in gallons of fear, anxiety, curiosity with a sigh smile that I portrayed to all the people who looked at me when I passed in front of them. I did not want those bearded men and dazed women think, that I was here to creep into their thoughts. As I hurried towards the managers office, a man with sunken eyes, and saliva dropping down his mouth clasped my hand and started rubbing it with care. I thought I will burst out in my loudest voice for help, but I couldn't sense any danger, so asked him calmly to let go my hand. He looked at me, and then my hand and stated brushing it again. When I was completely in a muddled stage, he sat down, still clutching my hand, with a soft tear rolling down his cheek. By now I had settled down near this man, with spilled food on his cl...

By: Sharon Supriya As the rain poured high and cleansed the city with its chattery noise, I found shelter beneath the sheet of a bus stop. As I shivered to the cold blow of the wind, I saw a little girl holding her mother's ar m with a gentle smile. She swayed her arms to feel the bliss of the chilled water drops that dropped with a rhythmic tone. Her mother joined her child's joy. After few minutes they settled down near my seat, both didn't speak a single word. It seemed, the eyes did all the talking. The girl opened her little book that had the baby pictures of everything from the bright sun to the naughty Jerry rat. The last picture was very unique, it was picture of a woman with a tear and a smile. I asked the girl, "who is this?". She just glared at me with a smile. I repeated my question, "If you tell me who is this, I will give you a Cadbury?" She didn't answer a word. I thought the child was bit prisky to pass that odd smile again and again ...

By : Sharon Supriya "I am the finest doll of my parents, with chubby cheeks, rosy lips, curly hair, just as the nursery poem. I was just 5 years old when my doll figured body, made a beast hungry. The hungry beast pounced on me to fulfill his dirty desire. It was the usual night with the same twinkling stars, bright moon and soft breeze. But, that night made me fear darkness to such an extent that for years I screamed when the lights were turned off even for a second.That night my mom and dad had to go out to for some work, so they decide that they will leave me in my neighbor's house for two hours. I didn't like the guy's look for he had a weird smile and a fat belly. As my mom placed me in his arms I squealed and said I will join them. They didn't listen. The beast bribed me for a lollypop. I took it, gave a smile and waved to my parents to get locked inside the concealed fear for years. After my parents left he latched the door and darkened the room. He t...
