MSNBC - A Heroic Life
The power of emotion never fails to amaze me. Why would a person leave a 3.8 million contact and the access to Rangers cheerleaders to walk into war? Is it patriotism or is it philanthropy (well he wanted to help the Afghans)? Any case I think he is an outstanding and unique individual but the sad part he is no more. As a society we should be ashamed that we are losing valuable lives over war. 5000 years of history, trips to mars, technology to splice genes (boy we have smart people in this world) but we cannot resolve conflicts by sitting at a table and talking and this applies to both sides of the table. I think there are too many divisions in this world and have to unite. The only way to do that is to create a common threat a threat that encircles the whole human race. Hey may be we can tell the world that giant spiders are taking over the world or there are aliens on mars that want to kick our ass and said mean things about Allah etc. I'm sure the media can create and hype these issues, after all they convinced some of us to watch Anna Nicole Smith (If they can do that they are omnipotent), and the whole world would be pissed at mars. We might have a few rednecks trying to shoot at mars using a binoculars or a couple of jihads trying to blow it up but it would be harmless fun. I think we are spending too many resources and too much time fighting against each other; this is the time to create a common enemy and divert our anger towards it or them. To all the sane people who thought this blog was stupid - I know some of this does not make sense but I was upset that a good man had to die for an unworthy cause and some of the points are decent enough to be given a thought.

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Farmers tackle pests with colas
BBC NEWS | South Asia | Farmers tackle pests with colas
I find this ironical and creative as well. Can you imagine the plight of the cola marketing team? With problems in the past (http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20030806/main3.htm) these guys might be at a loss of words finally. I might come across as being a little sadistic but corporate responsibility is very important now-a-days. If you look at a typical cola advertisement the people drinking these colas are surrounded by cool people and everything is rosy. What would a 7 year make of this? Well it is the cola that is driving the situation which is incorrect. Coke was never a part of creating a euphoric scenario for me (may be when mixed with rum) so these companies are creating a wrong image. Why did I write this blog, I don't know. In fact I don't really care what these companies do but I wanted to blog the article which was kind of cool. I definitely hope that there are a few of you who actually care and to them Kudos, you have principles but you will not make it big in this world.
Peace

India's respite from accidents thanks to god of machines: rail minister, Weird : News : News
India's respite from accidents thanks to god of machines: rail minister, Weird : News : News
It took me a long time to blog this because I was dazed at the decisions made - Laloo in charge of Indian railways. I'm a practical person and understand the political perspective of this decision but why railways. Any impact on IR (Indian railways) would affect the working class of India. We could have given him sports (I mean he cannot bring the Indian sports teams down because we are at the rock bottom, come on Ganguly and his inspirational speeches make me weep - in shame) or foreign investments. We have a socialist party in place and they will try to implement the will of Nehru (A Hindi speaking socialist nation) but wait we cannot be socialist because
1.We have a billion people
2.Only 24 million pay income taxes
NRI's are not stupid that is the reason they left India (can also be referred to as Nehru co.) and will not invest money into India as long as we have Idiots in the Indian government. I have a lot of faith in Manmohan Singh's intelligence but higher confidence in the ability of the other party members' ability to manipulate him. The worst part of it is that the Congress party stated that Laloo was the best choice for the job implying - there is nobody else in India who could do better than Laloo (you got to be kidding me and if it is true "God save us all). So this is my plea to the king makers in India you may take away our money, abuse our faith, threaten our future and sell out our country but please don't insult our intelligence. The Indian people forgive and forget (look at all the scandals) please give enough respect and tell us the truth. If there is a single ounce of integrity left in the Indian political population go ahead tell us that you are power hungry and you have to give Laloo the job. We don't care and even if we do there is nothing we can do about it. I'm sure you can derive pleasure out looking at our insignificant existence and helplessness but please tell us the truth.

FOXNews.com - You Decide 2004 - Kerry Calls Bush to Concede
FOXNews.com - You Decide 2004 - Kerry Calls Bush to Concede
I'm happy the way this election ended and I'm not referring to the end result. I'm bi-partisan and a misanthrope. I was really scared that this election could get ugly and get drawn out like the last one. Like most Americans I'm very materialistic too and I want instantaneous results. I don’t have a problem with neither Bush nor Kerry because I have a brilliant defense mechanism. My existence is so insignificant that public policy would not hurt my daily routine. I mean look at the whole scenario, a change in the leadership would not have brought phenomenally different ideas to the table. The bottom line is that we fucked up and we will try our best to cover up. On a personal basis I prefer to stay at home watching old reruns of Roseanne than go out and vote. You may ask me why, well it is the same old story but a different body. The elections are held only because of the strong lobby of the voting machine manufacturers and balloon makers. So Ohio you would not be in the front page of the NY times until 2008, until then happy living and peace to all.
