Note
You might have noticed that the
last few issues have been colourful. These was made possible due
to high precision hand painted job by my son. (Just kidding!).
Actually, one of the colours of my ink jet printer had finished and instead
of replacing the entire colour cartridge, I thought to myself, “Why
not give some spot colour and add some flavour in the bulletin”. So if
the RI colours are not accurate, you now know why.

Down, Laksamana
A cattle farmer
on his way to the village fair with his prized cow and her calf, got robbed
on the way and the farmer is left tied naked to a tree, alongside the calf.
When help came the next day, the first thing the farmer does after being
untied is to whack
the calf.
And when he is asked why was he doing that, he says “I’ve been telling
this idiot for the past day that I’m not his mother.”
