26112008 - When india was caught with its pants dropped

26112008 - the date of ignominy as far as indian 21st century progress is concerned. I am sure many a blogs will be out there to talk about the personal losses, the fantastic fightback by the black shirted heroes of bombay, the resilience of a mumbaikar to come through this and all other dollops of bonhomie and ingenuinely genuine bravados. 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. Secondly, from th...

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...

Quitting Smoking - day 2...(day 0 and 1 inclusive)

Once again, i am trying to quit smoking.this time i am determined to quit it for good...  just gonna try to keep blogging on this to keep my daily progresss.... on saturday i didnt buy ciggies and then by voice of reasoning from the few around, i decided to embark on the quitting scene yet again. 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...

did mccain do a maverick on the GOP?

well everyone knows by now, we have all witnessed history in the making and there will be billion other blogs praising the new leader of the free world. I must add, i am impressed with the way he has been and above all his speech after the announcement.  But McCain was no distant second. His parting speech revealed this man as a patriot. Nothing tugs  my heart than a true patriot of any country. In this era of greed and people selling their mothers and motherland for the green buck and fast life, it was a thrilling to see a hall of famer in many people's heart prove his love for his country. Refreshing.... The Conspiracy theorist in me wonders this, did mccain foresee that republicans were a plague to americans and set them up? Hiring a dumb belle as vp nominee, going in against the grain of his own fiber and coming out as "clueless"? did the ultimate libertarians actually helped in usher perhaps a historical watershed moment of 21st century? ur guess is as good as mine.....
