New Rule: The phrase "your call is important to us" can only be used by a live person on phone.

Please spare me . If i am on hold for 20 minutes I don't want to hear "your call is important to us" in loop every 3 seconds. I know how important my call is.

New Rule: We have built enough mosques and temples. Lets build the nation now

Practically a Sulabh Shouchalaya is more useful than both .. It prevents dengue,maleria,etc. All places of worship are a waste of property

New Rule: Hurricanes should have names like viruses not people. I'd rather have my home flooded by Anthrax than Alex.

New Rule: Movies should save everyone's time by declaring "we are entering the “I’m not leaving you!”-“You have to go on without me!” exchange ...you may take a bathroom break"

New Rule: Everyone just Ignore the Fatwas.

There are a lot many better subjects to discuss than edicts dictated by under-educated demagogues who have lost touch with reality and rationality.

New Rule: Media must not blame Indian team's disastrous performance on IPL.

Let the players take some responsibility. Besides, Almost all players from Sri Lankan team and Australian team played the entire IPL. Blaming IPL is just too easy.

New Rule: Thou shalt not speak with a fake american accent.

On second thought, please do :) it's too funny.. But trust me you're not fooling anybody...I've heard Nigerians,Haitians,French,Chinese,turkish,Germans,japanese,Romanians,Egyptians,Australians, in america... Have not heard a single person putting up a fake accent except some Indian wannabes.. :) but again, I'm taking back the rule.. It's too much fun listening to them.

New Rule: People must not keep political correctness ahead of simple common sense

I read somewhere "Happy Administrative Professional day" ..Really? Now even the word secretary is politically incorrect? Nobody complained about being called secretary till now... but now they might!

Where does this end? What's next... He is not dead.. he is just metabolically challenged... Gimme a break

New Rule: Commentators must stop saying that XYZ likes the ball coming on to the bat!

who doesn't? That's like saying this person really likes his food to be tasty

New Rule: Scientists must decide once n for all whether Chocolates are good for health/heart or not!

Newspapers keep filling unused spaces with "New study" proving Chocolates are good for health and follow it up next day by an exactly contradictory "Recent study" .

New Rule: You cannot delete comments on facebook except your own.

That is exactly why facebook has the feature to hide a post from certain people before publishing. Moreover, you can just delete the so-called-friends from your friend list who you don't want to hear from.

"The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism." -Norman Vincent Peale:

New Rule: You can't call a 2.5 minute long commercial break a strategic timeout !

If a team is forced to take it at the end of over no. 9 and 16 whether they want it or not, it's not a "strategic" time out.

New Rule: No more suicides in the name of religion.... With or without bombs.. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/More-Jains-embracing-ancient-santhara-ritual/articleshow/5696175.cms

I am shocked by this.The so called Non violence religion suggests death by fasting.

This is just sad.. How much more harm are religions going to cause... The aura around religions (or what I'd like to call a little older cults) takes them above criticism...NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IS BEYOND THIS LIFE.. How can anyone know??.. I know that you don't know because I don't know.. and you don't have mental powers beyond mine.. Please please please don't throw away your life for some imaginary afterlife or moksha or whatever.. Why waste time on religions anyway.. why not do some critical thinking for yourself

New Rule: Pakistan should stop blaming India for blasts happening in Pakistan.

I am not saying this as an Indian. I am saying what any sane person would say. It's like Mexico blaming USA for illegal immigration into Mexico.

New Rule: No Ramiz Raja for commentary! If broadcasters are going to insist; please provide me with some device that blocks that specimen's voice.

With apologies to Bill Maher

Bill Maher has a segment on "Real Time with Bill Maher" called new rules.
I'd like to do some new rules which appeal to me. Nowadays, religious leaders condemn anything that they don't like and announce "GoD" also doesn't like it either. They issue Fatwas against anything or anyone that goes against their authority.... Well, since that's not going to stop ; I'm going to start issuing some of my own New Rules.... But unlike these "Holy" people, you can agree,disagree,comment about my new rules.. cheers.

Here's a clip to give you some idea the segment I am referring:
