GOD IS BACK

Its such a relief to see the scorecard today and just as millions of other "Tendulaker Worshippers" around the world are sighing a sense of relief, a grunt of joy, a smile of satisfaction and above all looking forward to the rest of the series now that the "Master Blaster" is back in action. The less said about this batting Genius, the better and in case any of you are still wondering.-- Yes. I am a Tendulkar worshipper.

What does a mandate mandate?

I read this article today

It suddenly led me to various questions regarding the electoral system.
For example Do u vote for reform or reformer? In reality you cast a vote for a person and this person then takes the power to incorporate reforms of his/her liking.
So it is absolutely essential that the public (who vote) are completely aware of the policies views and fashions of a certain contesting candidate. (at whatever level).
Not just that, it also means that it is necessary and absolutely essential that the winning candidate then goes on to implement his ideas and ideals expressed before the election.

Is that happening anywhere?

Is SEX necessary?

Thats the topic of discussion today at Rediff.

Who said this about Cricket?

He said, 'I tend to think that cricket is the greatest thing God ever created on earth -- certainly greater than sex, although sex isn't too bad either.'


Whois He???

















Harold Pinter : Winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature

He is a playwright, commentator, director, actor, cricket enthusiast, and winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature. Born in 1930, he has, in a career spanning over five decades, managed to become one of the most famous dramatists of the English speaking world. He is also behind the creation of the term 'Pinteresque' in theatre, signifying an underlying sense of menace in everyday situations.

Interesting Database

Of all the databases that i have stumbled upon in the data crazy web world, this is probably the most useful and most interesting database.....

How to Find a Human Database


I am sure most of you will find this database useful :))

112 and still having to fight !!!

I read this news article on Hindu today and it seemed to touch some non-hardened portion of my inner self. Quite unaquainted with that side of me left me feeling bare and naked. Leads one to the question

Have we lost our inner sensibilities Or are we working really hard at losing them?
Why should emoting normally be so remote and abnormal?

Chennai ------

It is not with the greatest of glee that I write this post...What the hell is this world (or rather Chennai ) coming to.... Tell me ppl what the hell is wrong with two "CONSENTING ADULTS" both words highlighted kissing each other. I dont see any. But some authorities in Chennai police seem to find it obscene and take it an insult to the spirit and culture of the city..."Big freaking Morons". Read this extract again from Rediff


And if all this is not enough personally i have seen some of my friends have the unfortunate experience of going to Colleges that self discipline ("WHAT") their students by enforcing a DRESS code. Who the **** are they to decide appropriateness of a certain dress? And whats most infuriating is the fact that most of these students actually took to it and followed it in letter and spirit. And now what is that leading to.,...More engineering colleges are now adopting the "Gold Standard" in "Power Dresssing". Power to all those morons who decide what studenst can wear and what they cannot. By the way Can I wear Blue Underwear on Mondays? Oh shit...I did not know this bylaw. Made a mistake. What its a Rs 500 fine for inappropriate dressing and a Rs. 500 fine for using obscene words (Thats the shit u pay for using the word shit). Anyway, sooner or later we will all be such consenting morons that all follow the same set of MORAL rules that we have nothing to fear for we are all the same...Everyone in Chennai shall wear blue on Mondays (with Red inners) and Yellow on Tuesdays and Magenta on Wednesdays and so on and so forth....


Historically Universities and centers of learning and education have also been centers of great civil uprisings and have played a very important and significant role even in our independence. The same can be said of almost any other country. Even today, in the US of A the universities are liberal centersa of thought and free spirit and therefore play an important role in curtailing the role of STUPID MORAL POLICING. And by very nature these standardising laws in colleges tend to keep that free spirit and questioning and inquisitive mind in curb....It clearly declares "If u want to think for urself and make ur own guideline U DO NOT BELONG HERE. This is the college for all non-thinkers. We think for u and decide what is right and what is wrong for u. If u want to think for urself Go Elsewhere". Colleges and centers of education must be centers of free thought and expression. That is the ONLY WAY THE COUNTRY AND ITS PEOPLE Can GO FORWARD....Hope some educators are listening....If there are ppl reading this post who are as offended as I am by this kind of MORAL POLICING I think its time some of us find ourselves someway of getting into the system to change the system for changes are absolutely essential. Maybe becoming an educator-beuraucrat or whatever is the equivalent policy maker in education is the way to change the norm....Or maybe its the prerogative of the judiciary. Maybe we should contest such unacceptable MORAL POLICING in the court of law...Somethings MUST CHange and This better Do....

When fuel prices are too high !!!

So....I guess sooner or later fuel prices will rise through the roof...And then those fuel sources that are now termed "alternative energy sources" will become primary energy sources. You can already see countries all over the world interested in nuclear energy....Other sources like the wind and the ocean waves will not be spared either....

So anyway...This was a graphic that was forwarded to me with the caption

"How do u ride your bike when fuel prices are too high ?"
