57% of our mps are crorepati or more,

I could not understand, what will they do with their salary?

Daksh (Student) 26 August 2010

I don't know what is the funny part of this thread. The unfortunate part is that we never see the effort went behind preparing for such big challenges whether it is Tendulkar or Shah Rukh Khan for that reason. Instead of envying we should learn from them.

Last but not least media survives, thrives and likes controversies, envy mind you all this is lawyersclubindia not pressclubindia.
