Thoughts simmering in my mind, just waiting to get out
Delivering an ultimate slap on the faces of the Indian politicans, the US today declared in a report that India was incapable of handling terrorist threats due to lack of coordination between regional authorities and an inefficient legal system.
The piece was part of an annual report on global terrorism. They have declared the law and [...]
I am not finding the article online, but a while back the Prime Minister of India made a comment that the corporates and IT professionals are earning too much in the way of salaries and they should reduce this in the view of bringing about a better economic situation in India. He goes on to [...]
This summer I felt a deep urge to get a water filter for home. At home we drink ground water through a borewell, boiled and passed through a ‘candle’ based filter.

So ultimately it ended up that only when the water in the filter got exhausted (or neared exhaustion), did we boil the water and then pour it down the filter.
Today an engineer from Chennai aged 25 died in a bungee jumping accident in Bannerghatta, Bangalore. The organizers were of Care Adventure run by a Mr. Sheshadri who claims to be a retired army guy or something to that effect.
Apparently the bungee cord snapped and the guy plummted to the ground, sustained head injuries and died on the way to the hospital. The place was totally devoid of any medical facilities and fall back option in case of emergencies. The victims friends had to take him to the hospital themselves and I suppose it was too late and the guy died enroute.
I happened to find this article on Problogger a couple of weeks back and I had registered for the program. However, something slipped in my mind and I totally forgot that I had registered for this. Incidentally, the first communication(hopefully) from them ended up in my spam and I wasnt reminded of this program. Yesterday was day 1 of the start of this program and thankfully the mail found its way into my inbox. I would be starting off with this challenge and I hope to implement the steps and have a better blog in 31 days.
Has it become a fashion statement these days to be throwing shoes at politicians that you are not happy with? Just when one thought that the scandal involving the Iraqi throwing a shoe at President Bush during a press conference, now its the turn of India’s Chidambaram to be on the receiving end of a shoe. I vaguely remember that there was another incident where a shoe was hurled at a top politician, though I cant quite place the incident.
