08's eight things

AughtEight's Eight zeroes and heroes - whimsicals to perhaps not too shallow stuff...some random 8s #8 - Zaidi does a Nik(e)ita Shoes back as a political statement- Over 48 years after Khurushchev decided to stink up the UN with his rightie, yet another political imagery destined to be etched in people's mind forever. Zaidi does all the shoe statement makers proud with a classic throw @ the bushlord. On a separate note, who was the photographer? was he in the know? #7 When the dragon wore the sheep's clothing Beijing's oscar worthy nomination in their olympics Lets face it. The modern equivalent of Nazi olympics was is and will be the 08 beijing olympics. A growing scary power, to which the rest of the world, namely the western white world, pretty much kowtows to and looks aside at its cruelties and acts of indiscretions.....Pity what else does the world need to see that it is dealing with another evil reich.....Hmmm #6 A country gets hard on for superficiality and ...

26112008 - When india was caught with its pants dropped

26112008 - the date of ignominy as far as indian 21st century progress is concerned.

To me, it showed one thing and that we are inequipped to deal with the fundamental necessity of growing as a superpower. A defence system. Agreed we were blindsided by the invasion, but after the invasion, 48 hours and 100 lives lost were 45 hours and 100 lives lost too much.  our defense seemed to lack precision and i am just going to shoot of some points in random order and how they come in my mind which shows how lacking we are as a nation. Firstly, there was no cordoning off in places near the sites of invasions. Gawkers were present as tho they were just seeing a shooting scene (pardon th pun) of a movie with their reel idols.

Day 4 - and why the black may have shown me the light

bah,...it gets tougher as subconciously i feel fat, fatter and fattest... some girls i have had crushes on are finding new crushes....nothing majorly crushworthy news here just felt like saying that .... day 4..... i am able to resist the smoke... but i am not able to understand why i am putting on weight or i feel as such...... well planning to start running....yes me and running...i avoided running all my life just cos i hated it....must have had something to do with the monotony or the lubdublubdublubdublubdub.......... anyway, 2 weeks ago, i was , yet again in a social gathering, where i was the only smoker and had no packs on me. But one such social smoker claimed he had the Blacks, a clove scented smokes which i tried and didnt really get my "fix" as with marlboros and other ciggies.....i poohpoohed it cos maybe there was no real cigarette...... later in that nite, i had gone to a club, where the bouncer came up with this startling announcement that the blacks are extre...

Sunday i was not too concerned as i kept telling myself that i am not denying myself anything. that is the biggest difference from last times to this times.I am constantly reminding myself I am not denying myself anything In the night, when walking grizzly when i am usually most tempted, i was able to ignore the craving...... ---Day 2 ---- HAve eaten celery sticks, carrot, peas, soup, 3 clementines..... have 2 bananas and 1 apple left..... i feel subconciously whether i am putting on weight....but ges tis just subconcious ...i will be fine... and i will be able to climb without losing wind again...thats motiviation.... well we will see shall we...how long i go on this...my motto this time is t...
