Well we can sure answer one man`s question.....that is nadeems......WHY him...
well because he could show the world that how can a completely unproductive guy live with no input into the society apart from his cynical lectures on his wife `s salary and worry about why other people are earning and that too by WORKING HARD.
cheers

Nice attitude.
Definitely beats asking ``why me?``.
Besides the ``why me?`` was getting a little too cliched.
and it goes quite well with all those loser-ish, self-pitying and hopeless sods.
