			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New Delhi.</strong> Daati Maharaj of India TV has developed a mantra that allegedly contains powers of controlling the <em>mehengai daayan</em> i.e. the witch of inflation. The path-breaking development, which could bring relief to millions of Indian citizens, was announced in a live program on the news channel earlier today. The program would be repeated three times daily for the next three weeks for the benefit of the viewers who might have missed it today.</p>
<p>“<em>om bwin dim sharad phat phut pranab sili dwin bim hum sarvda</em>” was the essence of the mantra that Saint Shiromani Shanicharanuragi &#8216;Daati&#8217; Madan Maharaj Rajasthani ji announced live on the show, as he went on to propose various other means to rein in and restrain the atrocities of <em>mehengai daayan</em>.</p>
<p>“Apart from repeating the mantra three times a day after drinking buffalo’s milk, sleep with a black-brown dog on a blue mattress made of jute, holding his left rear leg with your right hand, on days when Sensex loses more than 100 points.” Daati Maharaj proposed an add-on solution, arguably adding business and economics parameters to the occult for the first time.</p>
<div id="attachment_3907" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3907" title="Daayan, a Bollywood movie" src="http://www.fakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/daayan.jpg" alt="Daayan, a Bollywood movie" width="200" height="264" /><p class="wp-caption-text">This is not exactly Mehengai Daayan, but the television channel used this poster during the show</p></div>
<p>The show was also attended by a jobless economist, ubiquitous rationalist, and a PR publicist of Aamir Khan Productions. While the rationalist kept on smiling and laughing as Daati Maharaj proposed his solution to fight the witch of inflation, the economist claimed that anything could work in the current scheme of things.</p>
<p>“Let people try out these means. Once the results, whether positive or negative, are out, I’d be able to explain the phenomenon.” the economist claimed, backed the PR publicist, who added that people should also watch the upcoming Bollywood movie <em>Peepli Live</em> so that they can spot and identify the witch of inflation without any trouble.</p>
<p>“It will just cost you a few hundred bucks, but it’s worth it to rein in the witch.” the PR person added.</p>
<p>India TV played video clips from the movie before and after each commercial break and also during the show various times, but denied that the program was any paid attempt to promote the movie.</p>
<p>“It’s one of our sincere attempts to help India gain freedom from <em>chudails</em>, <em>daayans</em>, <em>bhoots</em>, aliens, and other evil forces; completely in line with our philosophy and editorial policies.” India TV head Rajat Sharma told Faking News.</p>
<p>Common viewers had mixed reaction to the show and the solution proposed by India TV, but many of them supported such initiatives.</p>
<p>“<em>Ab government se toh kuchh ho nahi raha, yehi kar ke dekhte hain</em> (now that the government has failed to control inflation, let me try this out)” said one of the viewers holding a black-brown dog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New Delhi.</strong> In wake of the recent incidents of low-floor DTC buses made by Tata Motors catching fire, Tata Group has decided to perform a <em>Yajna</em> to please Agni devta (fire god) who it seems has been quite unhappy with the conglomerate. The decision was announced after a high-level review meeting took place today to discuss the problems in the low-level buses. The meeting was convened by the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit.</p>
<p>The high-level review meeting was attended by DTC managers, Tata Motors representatives, Bus drivers, traffic policemen, bureaucrats, engineers, bus depot janitors and astrologers. Even after many hours of discussion when the participants couldn’t fix the responsibility and culpability on anyone particular, it was decided to turn to the astrologers, who immediately placed the blame on the position of stars. It was suggested that Tata Group should perform <em>Yajna</em> to please Agni devta, who has been randomly putting buses and other stuffs belonging to the Tata Group on fire.</p>
<div id="attachment_1751" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1751" title="DTC low floor bus manufactured by Tata Motors" src="http://www.fakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Tata_DTC_Bus-250x197.jpg" alt="Agni devta apparently doesn’t like these buses by Tata" width="250" height="197" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Agni devta apparently doesn’t like these buses by Tata</p></div>
<p>“It had all started when Tata decided to buy Corus but didn’t care to pay respect to the fire god, even though fire was vital to make steel. As a result there was a <a href="http://www.metalbulletin.com/Article.aspx?ArticleId=1532489&amp;Category=Iron" target="_blank">fire</a> at Corus Scunthorpe steel mill in July 2007, but no one picked up the signs. Tata still ignored the signs when there was a <a href="http://harishravichandran.blogspot.com/2008/01/fire-in-singur-tata-factory-where-nano.html" target="_blank">fire</a> at their Singur factory in West Bengal six months later. They were happy to battle Mamta Banerjee but the real problem was Agni Devta. The next sign was when all of us were sad to see Taj Hotel on <a href="http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Video/70415/195/Fire+damages+Taj+Hotel+dome.html" target="_blank">fire</a> as terrorists struck Mumbai; signs continued as TCS office in Gujarat was gutted in <a href="http://www.ahmedabadmirror.com/index.aspx?page=article&amp;sectid=3&amp;contentid=200905052009050503522835587c44d18&amp;sectxslt=&amp;pageno=1" target="_blank">fire</a> earlier this year and then a few Tata Nano cars caught <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/biz/india-business/3-Nanos-catch-fire-Tata-to-do-pre-delivery-audit/articleshow/5147333.cms" target="_blank">fire</a> a few moths earlier. And now Agni devta has given the final warning by putting these low-floor buses on <a href="http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Third-low-floor-bus-fire-in-two-days/553796" target="_blank">fire</a>. We must act before it’s too late. Tata should please Agni devta and all our problems will go away.” Pandit Daanti Maharaj, especially sourced from India TV for the meeting, informed mediapersons after the review meeting.</p>
<p>Tata Group representatives nodded in unison as Daanti Maharaj went on talking and proposing solutions to please Agni devta and his incendiary mood. They were non-committal on putting into effect all the proposed solutions, which included steps like wearing only the left shoe on all Mondays by Tata employees and keeping a purple cat in each of Tata offices globally, but promised to undertake the <em>Yajna</em> to help the common commuters in Delhi.</p>
<p>People traveling by the DTC buses have expressed hope over the news as they continued traveling in the low-floor buses even as the review meeting discussed the problems.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[A new study into Mayan calendar, writing and mythology has revealed that most of us could be turning into asses by the end of 2012 i.e. within three years from today, in fact the process is believed to have already started according to the latest research.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Guatemala City.</strong> A new study into Mayan calendar, writing and mythology has revealed that most of us could be turning into asses by the end of 2012 i.e. within three years from today, in fact the process is believed to have already started according to the latest research. The study warns that the human race will be replaced by donkeys (also known as asses) and the existing donkeys will rule over the neo-donkeys.</p>
<p>“Yes, there will be doomsday, but only for the human race. The earth will survive and so will the flora and fauna, sans the humanity. An army of asses will rise from its ashes and enslave the human race. They will also genetically modify us to transform us into substandard asses while the existing asses will rule over us.” Prof. Carlos Santana, who deciphered the new prophecy, informed.</p>
<div id="attachment_1429" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-full wp-image-1429" title="A cave painting showing a Mayan King riding an ass" src="http://www.fakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DonkeySeat.jpg" alt="A cave painting showing a Mayan King riding an ass" width="250" height="182" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A cave painting showing a Mayan King riding an ass</p></div>
<p>New study has revealed that prehistoric Mayan Kings used to ride donkeys and it was considered to be a mark of respect in those times. In fact the kingdom’s army used to have large fleets of donkeys and wars were fought valiantly with donkeys braying on both the sides. Around the year 1900 BC, a renegade Mayan Knight is supposed to have ridden a horse and defeated the then King in a battle after challenging him publicly. The Knight became the next King and he ordered a mass execution of all the royal donkeys.</p>
<p>“All the asses in the army were beheaded and their bodies were burnt and dumped into a large well in the modern day Belize. This horrified all the other asses and since then the asses have been in a state of shock. The modern day asses are still mourning that massacre and that’s why they are largely silent and tolerant to human excesses. But they are all full of hope and belief that one day that massacred army of asses will rise from the ashes and take revenge.” Prof. Carlos disclosed the startling facts.</p>
<p>According to Prof. Carlos, the army of asses will rejuvenate the existing asses and these slothful looking creatures will be filled with unmatched alacrity and intellect. Then, these asses, under the leadership of the reborn asses, will march to subjugate the human beings. In fact Prof. Carlos believes that a few overexcited asses are already jumping the gun and are attacking human beings in different parts of the world.</p>
<div id="attachment_1427" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1427" title="This innocuous looking donkey could actually be thinking about massacring human beings" src="http://www.fakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/donkey-250x178.jpg" alt="This innocuous looking donkey could actually be thinking about massacring human beings" width="250" height="178" /><p class="wp-caption-text">This innocuous looking donkey could actually be thinking about massacring human beings</p></div>
<p>Such attacks by asses on human beings are expected to grow rapidly in the coming months. Human beings would debate and plan how to tackle donkey kickbacks, but by then the dead army of asses would have been resurrected, followed by the doomsday. These chilling details of the new found prophecy effectively makes each ass in our neighborhood a potential future oppressor of the human race. So should we kill all the asses?</p>
<p>“No! That would be even more tragic. Each ass that we would kill will be joining the army of the dead asses and this way we would end up dealing with a much powerful army. Instead of killing asses, we should be undertaking more research to find out what kind of strength the army of the dead asses could have. We should prepare for the inevitable battle. I volunteer for the research and I hope the governments around the world would help me with grants.” Prof. Carlos asked for help to save humanity.</p>
<p>The research is already creating strong ripples across the world with various Hollywood producers queuing up to make a movie on the grand battle between asses and human beings. Produces claim that these big budgeted movies would also help in further research and would help the humanity fight the asses. Leading author Dan Brown too is supposed to be mulling over the possibility of writing a book over this possible ass attack.</p>
<p>News channels in India too alerted its viewer about the possible revenge of the asses causing widespread hate attack against asses in various parts of the country. Government has appealed for restraint and has asked people not to act like asses. Home Minister P Chidambaram has assured the citizens that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would be soon talking about this acute ass problem with US President Barack Obama.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New Delhi.</strong> “If it is the K-factor for Ekta Kapoor, it is the numeric factor for me”, said Chetan Bhagat during one of his interviews after the release party of his new novel “2 States &#8211; The Story of My Marriage”, shocking his fans and followers who thought that Chetan didn’t believe in stuffs like numerology. Chetan candidly conceded that the key to his literary success was numbers and not words.</p>
<p>The revelation also comes as shock to many who thought that Chetan Bhagat believed in <em>name</em>ology, as the names of the protagonists in Chetan’s novel were based on the names of Lord Vishnu <em>viz</em>. Hari, Shyam, Govind and Krishna, from first to his latest book.</p>
<div id="attachment_1060" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 260px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1060" title="A file photo of Chetan Bhagat" src="http://www.fakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/chetan-250x250.jpg" alt="A file photo of Chetan Bhagat" width="250" height="250" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A file photo of Chetan Bhagat</p></div>
<p>But an insider told Faking News that Chetan was not so particular on names but always insisted upon putting numbers in the title of his novels. It’s not mere a coincidence that all his four novels have numbers in their titles, be it <em>Five</em> Point Someone, or <em>One</em> Night at Call Center, or <em>Three</em> Mistakes of My Life, and now <em>2</em> States. Finally Chetan admitted the same.</p>
<p>Faking News could track down the numerologist of Chetan Bhagat, who, on the conditions of anonymity, informed us that Chetan was deeply influenced by number 6 and considered it as his lucky number. It was his dream to author at least 6 bestseller novels.</p>
<p>He also told that it was not mere coincidence that Chetan got his first book published after visiting six publishers (as revealed in 2 States). Furthermore, his name and surname both have six letters each and the numeric sum of his name also adds up to 6 i.e. [C(3)+H(8)+E(5)+T(20)+A(1)+N(14) = 51 = 5+1 = 6]</p>
<p>Again, in his family, his wife’s name, <em>Anusha</em>, and his twin son’s names,<em> Shyaam </em>and <em>Ishaan</em>, all have 6 letters.</p>
<p>A close friend of Chetan also reveals that titles of Chetan’s next two novels, after 2 States, would consist of numbers 4 and 6, in order to complete the series from 1 to 6. Chetan refused to divulge the details about his next novels, but he accepted his belief in numerology. He also refused that such a belief was irrational, “all these things are decided by the market.” he said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_566" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 260px"><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-566" title="The fucking ugly Satan scaring a kid" src="http://www.fakingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/999-250x175.jpg" alt="The fucking ugly Satan scaring a kid" width="250" height="175" /></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">The fucking ugly Satan scaring a kid</p></div>
<p><strong>New Delhi.</strong> If you are not a completely useless person, you would know that today is September 9, 2009, which would be written as 09-09-09 no matter which formatting you use till you stick to Gregorian calendar. One can also write it as 999, which is nothing but 666 written upside down, and 666 is the Number of the Beast according the Holy Bible, which means Satan is watching you upside down! (Oh Fuck!) But don’t panic, Faking News will tell you how to protect yourself.</p>
<p>But before that, you must be convinced that today is indeed a special day. It’s the last opportunity in this century to be alive on a day when all the three parameters of a day (day, month and year) can be denoted by a single digit. Not only that, this day is special in many ways.</p>
<p>September 9, 2009 is the 252nd day of the year, 2+5+2 = 9! Today is Wednesday and it is September. Count the letters, Wednesday and September both have 9 letters! Clearly the number 9 holds the key for you, and Faking News will tell you how to make the most of 9.</p>
<p>If you happened to wake up at 09.09.09 AM today, man you have done just the right stuff. You simply don’t need to worry, but to be on the safer side, you should wear nine underwears during the whole day today. Try changing them each time the minute hand of the clock strikes nine.</p>
<p>But if you woke up a few milliseconds earlier or later, don’t worry, you can still protect yourself from that ugly upside down hanging Satan and get the best out of today’s special day. Before stepping out of your home, you must spit nine times on your right side. Remember, each time you must spit on the same spot or you might be hit by a running bull as soon as you reach the main road.</p>
<p>Those who were born between 9.00 PM and 9.00 AM should carry nine pieces of white marbles smeared with ginger-garlic paste in their bag, while those born between 9.00 AM and 9.00 PM should carry nine pieces of black coal smeared with almond-walnut paste. Both of you guys should throw the marbles and coals in your neighbor’s bedroom after midnight today.</p>
<p>To protect yourself from professional troubles, find a female dog, also known as a bitch, who had recently given birth to nine pups in your neighborhood. Garland her and take her to your office and feed her <em>mutton biryani</em>. If you can take along all the nine pups as well, if they survived or if you could find them, you would be blessed for the next nine years.</p>
<p>To protect yourself from road accidents, jump in the air after each ninth step you take while you walk. For best results, stretch your legs and arms as much away from each other as possible when you jump. In case you are not walking and are driving, apply brakes after each 99 meters and try to drive at 99kmph. Oh, god is merciful, he is all knowing.</p>
<p>And yeah, if you are wary of doing some of these stuffs or are not sure if you would be able to do them, there is another simple way. Keep visiting Faking News after each nine minutes and laugh hysterically as soon as the site loads. Forward nine distinct articles of Faking News to your nine distinct and alive friends (each time a new set of nine friends must be selected for each article). If you don’t do this, you will develop piles and won’t be able to sit or shit for the next nine months. Start forwarding now, best of luck!</p>
