Quick notes: The Keyser Sözes of IS, Flood havoc...

• The Real ISIS: “As fighters, the Islamic State militants have mostly been a disappointment. Their numbers don’t seem that big and they’re eager to run away. ISIS has successfully made themselves seem bigger and scarier than they are in reality through social media”.
  
  “They’re not some giant, holy juggernaut of ultimate damnation for unbelievers. They’re just a bunch of filthy, mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging pigs who run away at the first sign of resistance. Really nothing more than a thorn in the side.”

@rajeshpadmar Sir, please note correct IFSC code as ANDB0000784. There are 4 zeros and not three zeros. Just added your account. FYI.
