All the money, all the success and all you have achieved will mean nothing if you don’t remember these little yet magical things from your childhood. Take a stroll down the memory lane as we bring you a few nostalgic moments from the ‘best days of your life’!
Nothing sells like politics mixed with satire, the creators say.
Some words of politicians become catchphrases, others their albatross. Either way, they end up getting imprinted on the public mind. All these ingredients come together in the minimalist posters. Here is a look at them:
Have you ever said to someone, “you’re making this too complicated”? If so, you have made a mistake. What you actually meant is “you haven’t made this simple enough.” The point is that complication is the natural state. We don’t need any effort to make things complicated; they already are. We need to make an effort to make them simple. And, as the world becomes more complex and faster-moving, that effortbecomes more and more important. The only solution to more complexity is more simplicity. More than anything else, it requires an ability to step outside the complicated problem and see it in a completely new way.
Good people are good at answering complicated questions. Great people are great at asking simple questions.

From an amazing article in wall street journal.
Only With Modi. In his toast during a state dinner on Sunday in New Delhi, President Barack Obama gave an insight into his visit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“I have often said that my life story could only happen in America, but, of course, prime minister, your story could only happen in India,” Mr. Obama said.
Here are some things we’d like to suggest could only happen during a visit to Mr. Modi.
He’ll Wear His Name on His Sleeve
Mr. Modi wore a pinstripe suit Sunday during talks with Mr. Obama.
Look very closely. The words “Narendra Damodardas Modi” were embroidered into the suit to make those stripes. No kidding
He’ll Out Sleep-Deprive You
As one of the world’s most-powerful men, Mr. Obama is probably used to winning the “I’m-more-sleep-deprived- than-you” game. Not this time.
“He was explaining to me today how he only needed three hours’ sleep, which made me feel bad; I thought I was doing okay with five,” Mr. Obama said
He’ll Tell You About His Fight With a Crocodile
“What I didn’t know until now is that he once survived an attack by a crocodile,” Mr. Obama said of Mr. Modi during his toast.
We’re not sure how this came up in conversation. They were supposed to be hammering out a civil-nuclear deal.
Up to now, this crocodile tale was the stuff of Narendra Modi comic book legend.
Other stories include the day a young Narendra in high school, climbed a tree to free a bird caught in a kite string. In the book, the bird was “thankful” and looked lovingly into Mr. Modi’s eyes before flying off.
He’ll Put Himself on the Menu
The menu for the lunch hosted for Mr. Obama on Sunday had Mr. Modi written all over it.
For starters: Nadru Ke Goolar, a spicy kebab made with lotus stem. The lotus, India’s national flower, is also the symbol of Mr. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party.
For the main: Buttermilk-laced Gujarati Kadhi from Mr. Modi’s home state, Gujarat.
And, for desert, Gajar Ka Halwa, or sweet-carrot pudding — in orange, the color of the BJP
He’ll Dress Better Than Your Wife
This is something Mr. Obama almost acknowledged himself.
“And he also has style,” said Mr. Obama on Sunday of Mr. Modi. “One of our newspapers back home wrote, ‘Move aside, Michelle Obama. The world has a new fashion icon,’” he continued.
Mr. Modi met the U.S. President and the First Lady at the airport Sunday morning wearing a striking saffron-colored scarf with a paisley pattern. His fashion statement pulled focus even from Michelle Obama’s printed dress and coat ensemble from Bibhu Mohapatra’s spring collection.
In a poll of India Real Time readers, 85% of those who voted said Mr. Modi dressed best.

Faasle kam ho rahe hai… par dilon ke faasle to badh rahe hai.. sensex se bhi tezz..
Lover ke gift baad me toot te hai, love pehle toot jaata hai…
Fir bhi ye pyar hai.. kambakht buldozer chalao fir bhi sir utha hi leta hai…
mitti na mile to ret se ghar bana leta hai..
baarish ki boond ki tarah, jitni bhi chhatri taano.. ye tumko bhigo hi deta hai..
marte wakt koi kisi se nahi kehta,, “I Hate you”..
sab yahi kehte hai.. “I love you” “I love you” “I love you”
