IPL - Lalit Modi

I like Lalit Modi for what he has created. I feel angry about forcing him to leave.He had a vision and had strength to fulfill it.

The people ( BCCI ;-) ) who could not pocket money into their pockets wanted Modi out. Now they got chance to achieve it and they did it.

I wonder where Sharad Pawar keeps the huge money that he has been earning thru the corruption like.arbitrarily inflating the sugar prices, IPL scam etc. By seeing his body...I am sure some of it is bound to be in his big..very big ...fat tummy...

Hope

How will a life be without hope? A person's endeavor is tested again and again by the nature....to make sure only the worthy gets the sweet fruits. It is only the hope with propels the human spirit to overcome the adversities.

Very often we tend to get diverted by the troubles that we loose focus of the target...e.g. a jealous mad person we meet distract us quite often...we get mad that him/her rather than ignoring him/her which s/he deserves.

Off from work

Took off from work today. Had to be awake at night....thought that I can manage to work in the morning with the less sleep I would have....but ....the force of sleep was so hard that ...i planned to sleep for 10 mins at 7am but got up only at 11 am.

Now at 5PM, I feel relaxed. I feel that for so many days I was dragging myself ....I needed this rest.

Mental slavery

If one needs a proof that more than 200 years of being under foreign rulers has made us mentally slave....then give a thought about why 'jan gan man' is our national anthem. If one knows why it was created in first place..then a true Indian will feel angry about it.

What happened to our self-respect ?

Stagnancy

Have been thinking about this whole day today, 'Stagnancy breeds Incompetence'.

Mossad's new success

Another feather in the cap of Mossad.

With previous successes like eliminating terrorists responsible for 1972 Olympic Massacre and Operations like Entebbe, Mossad remains one of the most competitive, aggressive, fearsome secret service organization in the world.


Quote from above link ->


Commentary’s Noah Pollak takes aim at those who feel the operation was compromised. “The people calling the operation ’sloppy’ and a ‘debacle’ seem to actually believe that the Mossad is unaware that there are video cameras in airports and hotels today, or that the passport photos of the agents would not be revealed to the public,” he writes. “More important, the fact of the matter is that the team got into Dubai, rubbed out a bad guy, and got out. No drama, nobody was captured, and nobody knows the real identities of the team or where they are now. Given the extraordinary risk and complexity of the operation, that’s a win in my book. And now the Iranians, Syrians, and their terrorist clients have been given another reminder that their people aren’t safe anywhere — even in the heart of the Arab world.”

Nine Lives

Reading 'Nine Lives' by William Dalrymple. Its a nice book about nine people from different spectrum of life in India. 


Interesting revelations about dead-body skull eaters in West Bengal. And their supposedly powers. Another interesting character, a MBA working in FMCG in Mumbai, shuns everything and become sanyasi. He takes this decision in a fraction of second. 


Dalrymple has good repository of knowledge about India. 


Another book I had read which was as interesting as this is 'Holy Cow' by Sarah McDonald.
