Underlining Our Own Vulnerability

The Mumbai mayhem is already into its 41st hour by the time I am writing this. The fact of the matter is that we, our administrative machinery, have ourselves invited these radicals to come and hit Us - 'A Percieved Soft Target'.

Everyone shows National integrity, unity and sovereignity on Day 1, starts blaming others on Day 2, forget on Day 3 and then keep celebrating the anniversaries year on year.

A nation of billion being held hostage by groups sponsored by a nearly bankrupt state.

Kudos !!! to our leadership. Keep being lenient and keep creating opportunities for your security forces to show acts of valour during these VERY MUCH AVOIDABLE situations.

A Nation of such large scale Defense, police and Paramilitary forces !!!
Bloody, stop rearing White Elephants if they can't be used for THE purpose.

Only a Dumb and Handicap nation would accept what we have.
What are We ???

Orkut - Connecting People

Despite several attempts via different mediums I was not able to establish contacts with long lost school friends. In our school days ( spent a couple of year each at various KV's accross the country) communication mediums were not that abundant and Social networking sites were nowhere in picture.
This weekend it was a pleasure to recieve a call from a very old school friend whom I reconnected through Orkut. Through him I got contacts of a few others and passed him a few that I was in touch with.
It was wonderful to talk to and see people have settled down (and done well) with their lives. It brought back all the good times memories of cricket inside the class, raising slogans, shutting the chemistry teacher inside the Lab, calling the Physics teacher as 'Jahaaz' and Phy sics lab as 'Airport', crossing school compound wall on a rainy day and going guava hunting et al.

That life had its own charm. Alas, I dont have a single picture to post with this writing but I promise one as soon as my plans to hold a re-union materializes :-)

P.S.
TO Funti Bhai : Wish you a very Happy Wedding Day and a Love filled life ahead !!!

Twenty-20

The game still has 30 long overs to go.
This game is getting too long.

Forgetting 'ME' , Getting Used To 'WE'

Last three weeks have been the Longest break of my professional life, and THE OCCASION deserved it :-)
