The Writing On The Wall

There is an advertisement by Idea Cellular's ‘What an idea, sirji!’ series. The topic is conservation of trees by using cellphone as a device to eliminate wastage of paper. Awesome Idea, isn't it =P
but using mobile phones as an alternative of paper in India, sounds some what funny for me. This is a one I have seen today, the guy was preparing for exam. Classrooms are to study, so what's wrong in wring notes on the walls. Almost every student spends a bit of their precious time from busy schedule to read what is written on the walls, but no time to stare at their notes. So lets save trees-- write on walls =P~

btw the guy reminded me of the story in Bible too ("The writing on the wall" in In the book of Daniel).

India plans hot chilli grenades

Indian defence scientists are planning to put one of the world's hottest chilli powders into hand grenades.

They say the devices will be used to control rioters and in counter-insurgency operations.

Researchers say the idea is to replace explosives in small hand grenades with a certain variety of red chilli to immobilise people without killing them.

The chilli, known as Bhut Jolokia, is said to be 1,000 times hotter than commonly used kitchen chilli.

Scientists at India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) are quoted as saying the potent chilli will be used as a food additive for troops operating in cold conditions.

And the powder will also be spread on the fences around army barracks in the hope the strong smell will keep out animals.

Other forms of pepper spray are commonly used for crowd control in many parts of the world.
