This is the theme of Young India….. time to change India

Excellent article by Krishna Prasad Titled ” The truth is security in India is a joke” in www.rediff.com
dated July 25, 2008. It was posted after Bangalore Blast but after Ahemdabad blasts it gained more relevance.

Must read article it.. about the reality in india, and its the most relevant article to the security scenario in this country for last 4-5 years.

“Thirty-two months after an Indian Institute of Technology professor was killed on the campus of the Indian Institute of Science, ‘terror’ returned to the pensioners’ paradise that no longer is, shortly after lunch on Friday afternoon.
The question is not why Bangalore, but why did it take so bloody long?

Seriously.

Why did it take so long for these smart-assed sons of bitches to set off half-a-dozen bombs just as we were about to hit the sack for our afternoon siesta in our ’sleeper cells’, when they could have done it yesterday, or day before, or last week, or last month?  Read more...

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 when…

1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.
2. You visit google.com everyday.
3. You have a list of 6 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
12. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to send this link.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list

Yesterday I was reading an article which mentioned about fear and I just wondered people have fear of so many things, so just thought of listing all types of phobias.. will keep on adding more as I get to know them.

But first thing first, what is a phobia? so here is the definition from wikipedia

“A phobia (from Greek: ?????, phobos, “fear”), is an irrational, intense, persistent fear of certain situations, activities, things, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one’s control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made”

Let me know if you have any to contribute or if you think there is a mismatch (as I am also exploring different sources) . I will try to list them alphabetically,  So covering A to D in this post and will update rest in due course of time  Read more... (789 words, 0 images, estimated 3:09 mins reading time)

A little boy went into a drug store, reached for a soda carton and pulled it over to the telephone. He climbed onto the carton so that he could reach the buttons on the phone and proceeded to punch in seven digits (phone numbers).

The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:
Boy: “Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?
Woman: (at the other end of the phone line): “I already have someone to cut my lawn.”
Boy: “Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price of the person who cuts your lawn now.” Woman: I’m very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy: (with more perseverance) : “Lady, I’ll even sweepyour curb and your sidewalk, so on Sunday you willhave the prettiest lawn in all of Palm beach, Florida.”
Woman: No, thank you.  Read more... (237 words, 0 images, estimated 57 secs reading time)

The maths teacher was teaching set theory and Priya was engrossed in the lecture and was trying to capture and understand each and every point the teacher was making. Presently the teacher stopped her lecture and went towards the entrance of the classroom. Priya’s gaze followed her teacher and saw the school peon standing at the entrance. Priya noticed him talking politely in a hushed voice. Presently the teacher looked up and called Priya. She got up and went near them wide eyed with confusion. The Head master had wanted to meet her immediately.On the way to the Head master’s room, Priya’s mind was racing. She was studying class eight and was considered one of bright students of her class. She was well disciplined and was liked by her classmates and teachers. As such there was no reason for the Head master to call her to punish or warn. So what could be the reason for calling her? She was very anxious with a ting of fear as the Head master nodded her to come inside the room.  Read more... (2848 words, 0 images, estimated 11:24 mins reading time)

I found a nice article, comparing China and India with the title China vs. India: A battle of ideas by Anand Giridharadas of International Herald Tribune. Let me share some excerpts from itShanghai was a bit like Mumbai until the Chinese government did what the Indian government cannot do: in the 1990s its planners, brushing aside any pre-existing claims, cleared the way for developers to construct in barely 10 years the gleaming, futurist metropolis of Pudong, across the river from the Bund

The article is worth reading, the link for it is on IHT
