will decided on their accommodation so hand in your

naakhi. Aa marathi loko
ekdum junglee chhe. Mane maari baaju maa marathi

The UPite said : "Theek kaha gujjubhai ne. Shriman
Yam, in marathi logo ne to hamara jeena hi mushkil
kar diya hai....eemaan se! Arre, meri dukaan ka board

marathi bhasha mein hona chaahiye. Ab ee bhi koi
baat hui kya? Mujhe bhi mere baaju mein marathi aadmi
nahi chaahiye."

The Bihari said : "Yeh dono sajjan aadmi theek kahat

Do You Know This?

In Mumbai Mirror Daily, it is written that so many terrorists and under
world people has got connecting through orkut. Like Davood Ibrahim, Chotta
Shakkil, ...........so many people are getting new man power through Orkut
only. The IB has started their investigations. So please reduce the
contacts through Orkut.

It is usual that we receive friend request from unknown people. But if
you actually do not know that person it is good to reject that request.
Because if one terrorist is found by Police, his entire friend's list will
be carefully followed. And if you are there, you also will be in trouble.

So be careful! Also forward it to all your friends. This information is
true. It is written in the front page of Mumbai Mirror Daily.

You may be thinking that why these people adding so many friends
through orkut. It is simply because to mislead the Police. When they(Police)
get a huge friend list they will be concentrating on them. They may be
innocent people. At that time the real terrorists can escape. So friends,
please forward this information to all you know n whome u care...
