A nearly 200 ton nuclear reactor safety vessel is erected at the Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research at Kalpakkam, about 80 km (48 miles) from the southern Indian city of Chennai, June 24, 2008. The reactor is a 500 MW prototype fast breeder and it will begin commercial production of nuclear power by 2011.

#7 A joke from Bihar

India and Pakistan fight a war. Pakistan thrashes India. They begin negotiations.

The Indian PM comes to the meeting with a very sorry face but when both of them are coming out, he looks happy. Journalists ask Nawaz Sharif : "So Nawaz, Pakistan have won Kashmir?"

Nawaz says "No! We have not taken over Kashmir since India says, if Pakistan wants to take Kashmir, it should take Bihar also."
