Unrest in Egypt…

Egypt seems to have gone into sudden insurgence. For a country which has been ruled for over 31 years without even a whisper of inconvenience has now taken to main-stage protests.

The beginning of this year has seen quite a lot of disruption both by natural and men-driven. Talk about the floods in Brisbane and then this attack.

Having been brought up in a neighbouring Arab country to Egypt, I’ve always thought the rule was very similar. Perhaps, it is, and perhaps people just can’t stand it anymore. Further more, countries like India, and China pop up more often in the news for corruption and inefficiency. I’ve come to think that is perhaps a good thing rather than to evoke in disgrace just as Egypt has.

It is quite painful to see that people have taken to the roads, caused themselves so must of restlessness and brought their country to this state. Would it have made a difference if the uproar had risen a few decades ago? Would it make a difference now? What if there is another leader who’d be more corrupt and delirious?

Questions to these may not be answered but at least Egypt has tried to shake the dictator’s chair and let the government tumble!

Kickbackistan in an Arabic – Egyptian context will probably be a big hit!!

International media spoils privacy and media space…

Wonder when news networks like BBC would realize that, news as such don’t need to fill two-thirds of the international section of the news site. They for one, don’t affect the social, political, or economic situations of the country or any allied country. However, I presume there is abundant depletion of tax payers money that would go to show the monarchy opulence!

I used be annoyed by the local newspaper – The Times of India for news it published were absolutely irrelevant. However, there seems to be a common trend with media these days that they’d want to be nosy about every moving finger in the air.

It probably is partly the fault of my age, where I don’t wish to see extravagance in places I don’t see deserving. Perhaps, it is someone’s else’s choice to be interested in the gossip behind whether the pair lived in the same apartment while they studied and did things which any one would or would not do!

I don’t want to start mentioning second thoughts now, before I start being convinced that behind every marriage there is amount of economic, and social interest and growth and behind this particular one, there is probably a lot of political interest. So be it! As long as there is no monetary benefit, I wouldn’t be interested in this!

Daddy’s Diary!

Appa’s started blogging! I’ve always been pushing my all my folks to blog – Appa, Amma , Sweets, Rish have blogged since! Opinions do matter!

Wonder when my sister or niece will start blogging!

Super-brain Yoga!

Yoga, associated with a funny little exercise – just seems subtle. The uses of the exercise might probably just be the best but unproven but you can’t just term it as Yoga!

However, this reminds me of my school days when my teacher used to shout out a group of names which include mine, call us to the front of the class, and make us do this. It always did look funny and humiliating, perhaps, behind all the intentions did lie a noble one. What brought this practice into the lineage will be a nice one to observe for me to be less cyncial about terming it as “Yoga”.

For the record…

Married man – yet merried!

To add to my conviction…

Further to echoing my thoughts, this article provides statistics to how many Indians hop jobs. Also, mentions that age is a factor too!

Now, that makes me feel so much better… I am an Indian!! Jai Hind

Delhi Belly – not something you’d want to take home as a delegate

Ohhh – it is perhaps, all  of the unpleasant stuff that goes against the organizers again… Commonwealth games shambled and criticized over every thing, and there are reasons behind them.

The latest amongst them is the Delhi Belly. That is definitely not what India would want delegates to take back as a black-spotted-memory stigma. Alas! That article points out that the easiest thing to do is to blame Pakistani militants. That is awful!

The next thing you know there is either the hockey crotch, or the tennis bum!

Robot… Simply Rajni!

Rajni’s recent release has caused stupendous uproar all over the world. Pitched as the most expensive movie ever in the Indian cinema, this movie does give you the total entertainment vouched.

It is simply superb to watch Rajni perform even at this ripe age.

I’ve always been a keen fan of Rajni’s since my younger days thanks to my Dad. My dad and I used to watch Rajni for his stunts and film presence. I wouldn’t have appreciated this movie more had I not been brought into this influence…

Thanks pa!!

Influenced by Rajni!

Rich Limp-dicks benefited – ROFL

The Onion, never ceases to amuse me. Today, this article about the Nobel nominee for medicine, seemed absolutely hilarious.

It might not be right politically and economically, rather socially. However, these aren’t contributions that non-first-world countries would benefit from.

I have this instinct that the Nobel awards are going to lose their charm especially after presenting Obama a Nobel for something he’s thought of doing. Couldn’t it have waited till the job’s done.

“Micro-blogging” isn’t that synonymous to gossiping

Twitter the fastest growing social networking site / micro -blogging idea is fancy. Probably, helpful to those whose job is to keep track of other’s statuses. However, the popularity it has gained is incredible.

I like such innovations, more for the idea than its actual use…
