Mumbai - Terrorism visits the city again!

I am not going to provide any graphic images or any youtube videoes to this post here, as it is more than apparent that no images can truly convey the horror that the whole of India has gone through ever since this latest episode of terror started.

It seems that the basic premise behind this attack was done specifically to diminish the economic prowress of the Nation as a whole. It is a really idiotic theorey, blow up a building and what, India's economy will falter. These guys are idiots, with no remorse perhaps but at the best,idiots. Terrorism does not make any country's economy falter and what's more with this latest terrorist attack, they have highlighted India in more ways than one. Sure, given the choice, we would rather that this attack had not taken place. But at the end of the day, India's economy will grow and do so for the forseeable future. This attack has but strengthend our resolve and it does not matter which part of India they attack, for the resolve of all Indians is universal, we will not be cowed down by such Cowards!

My heart goes out to the innocents and the young who were killed in this latest batch of terrorism from Pakistan [ The evidence is already there and for those of you who find it hard to beleive, go ahead and watch the news channels],no surprise there. But enough ius enough, one can only hope that the Indian government as well as the president of India cracks down on such contries providing support bases to terrorists. The government should start taking effective action by listing out the evidence and provide the same to all countries from China to the United states, tell them that either you are with us or stand against us - the line used by George bush during the 9-11. This action should not end there but should continue with hot pursuit, eliminating all terror bases either with pakistan's co-operation or not. If Pakmistan wants to survive its economic disaster and prevent the country from fragmening, it should take heed to do the same.

When it comes to reporting, I have to say that I was duly impressed by the reporters online 24 hours a day covering every aspect of this attack. To expect any Indian remain unaffected by this attack or remain objective is not realistic but that is exactly what most if not all the reporters did. They managed to provide up to date info on the attacks, provide arguments as to why these terrorists came from paistan and even aired pakistan's objections to the same. One can see why Indian news channels continue to reap rewards for their hard work and for providing 'objectivity' even under duress.

But is hard to make the same argument when it comes to some of the so called foreign channels from the BBC to CNN. With BBC, though they did provide an objective analysis the reporters were more busy with trying to discredit any theories put forth for this attack then examining the terrorist threat under the scanner. Frankly, it surprised me to see a vetran reporter of the likes of christiana amanpour do her best to discredit the government's theorey that the terrorists came from Pakistan. Sure, she gave 'objectivity' her money's worth, probably all 2 cents of it anyway. What did she think, that the terrorists came from nowwhere and went on this terrp spree for no reason at all. Even the common man can figure it out that these guys came well planned and were in this for the long haul. To listen to this particular reporter from CNN, one would think that it is our fault for being a vibrant democracy and a resurgent economy, implying that we caused the terrorists to attack. Shame on you for being so in-sensitive christiana, I hope that you never get to visit my wonderful country ever again. The government should seriously take some action of some sort against this channel, but then again, we are not China- meaning a police state. Under a democracy, we allow everyone to have a right to say what they want, irrespective of thier affiliations or the India hatred that christiana seems to have developed. Either way, christiana please do not bothe coming down here for we are not interested in playing host to the likes of you. I am glad that it is all over, thank you NSG, Marcos, the Army as well as the Navy including the Police. I am sure that no amount of praises or condolences is going to lessen the pain of the loss, but it is essential that we all remember that 'Tommorow is another day, we shall survive and certainly rise, irrespective of what took place'.
regds one and all.

The mystic mystery!

Of late, the number of God men originating from one state has increased dramatically, from almost none to a count that is getting larger by the day. The number of remarkable discoveries of 'god men' living in the state of Kerala has increased ever since an expose of sorts was carried out against one of the alleged 'god men', who was then found to be guilty of both fraud and criminal acts against minors.

These god men have been in the news, albeit for the wrong reasons, with most of them being guilty of crimes ranging from fraud, embezzlement, rape and even murder. It is sad to see that there are many gullible people who get taken in by such misfits, time and time again.

It seems that 'god man' is indeed a lucrative career for many aspirants, for nearly most of them get away with their crimes as the people are too scared to report them. These god men use the religious beliefs of such people to their own advantage, take for example the latest god man to hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Madhavan, a self declared ascetic, or that is what one thought of him, was proven to be anything but that. For besides indulging in all that a god man should not indulge in, from the pleasures of the flesh to that of alcohol, Madhavan saw it fit to defraud some honest people of their hard earned cash as well.

Madhavan's case should serve as a wake up case for the people all over the world, for such heinous crimes continues to be committed, not just in India but at almost all the places in the world. It is a much better thing to believe in god than in a god man, for man is not perfection!

Memory upgrades, anyone?

With technology changing almost every day, it has become a necessity than a luxury to go in for memory upgrades with regard to systems. But every so often, a simple upgrade turns into an expensive exercise, one that is bound to test any one's patience. Adding Computer RAM is not all that difficult provided that the memory module provided is compatible with the system, in other words, as long as it is a match to the original memory, it should go off without a glitch.

With most of the computer systems being manufactured by Dell, it is not often that one comes across a memory upgrade portal like this one here. For in addition to providing the 'perfect match' memory upgrade for your system, these guys ensure quality of the highest standards, one that could match up to Dell's quality control any day. The memory modules can be purchased for any number of systems and the modules purchased would make the proper fit, with no hassle at all. With these guys, you should be able to , say, Add IMAC Memory without any problem whatsoever.

Buying memory upgrades from these guys is actually quite cost effective since most of the memory modules purchased elsewhere do not make the 'right fit' most of the time. Purchasing a module like the DDR PC2700 Memory should not put a crimp in your pocket. In the end, these are the guys you need in case you are looking for an upgrade, one that is cost effective as well as one that makes the 'right fit' all the time!

The IPL comes to a dazzling close!

With all the chaos that seems to have been the hallmark of the IPL auction, one would have thought that the same chaos would permeate down to the IPL matches themselves. But the 2020 went off without a hitch even as a few umpires and quite a few batsmen were held to task for many an issue.
Today, the IPL series for the year 2008 came to a dazzling close and even though both the teams were evenly matched, the Rajasthan Royals managed to claw back from a perilous position to win the IPL tournament for 2008. It was a thriller of a match from the start to the finish, kind of reminding one of the India-Pakistan series, one can definitely look forward to more excitement of the same calibre within a year as more international teams come forward to play in this tournament. The IPL has established itself solidly and cricket has finally evolved from being a staid stale game to one with many possibilities.

The grist in the tale to tell!

It is sad to see that the position of a teacher is so repugnant to a student these days but then again, such reactions are inevitable given the facts that more and more stories of teacher mistreatment are coming to light. With the death of Rinky, a 15 year old student who was hit on the head by her teacher for having refused personal tuition, it does bring into focus the line that no teacher should cross. Are we so lacking good quality teachers that we can get only murderers and rapists to apply for that esteemed position?

The Indian angle!

With the recent Tibet crisis spilling over, the Indo-Chinese ties have come under a huge strain and are tested as they never have been before. Of course, the Americans would like nothing better than to have India and China at opposing ends as the end game for world domination would become a whole lot easier. But with the Chinese realising this better than anybody else, have instead decided to make up and patch things up!
