Leaking

Image
Confidentiality nowadays is almost a sick word. Some of the disturbing news are the latest leakages. 1. Oscar winners list (It is also termed as hoax by the Oscar spokesperson) 2. U2's upcoming album No Line On The Horizon has been leaked on to the web and is widely available on Torrent sites. May be the concerned professionals should check the leakages. I recommend a glue stick :)

Legal battle?

In a strange chain of incidents, chennai lawyers and police officials set a path-breaking example . The list of incidents happened as below 1. On 17-Feb-09, Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy was manhandled and abused by a group of lawyers for his anti LTTE stand. 2. On 19-Feb-09, arrest of their fellow colleagues is protested against by some group of lawyers. 3. Police lathicharged the protesters. 4. The lawyers pelted stones on police officials. Eventually, the police station is burnt. 5. A judge is injured. The notable point is; all these events took place in the high court campus. Now I have few questions, where the legal proceedings for these incidents will be carried out? Who will carry out the proceedings? Who will be given the justice and who will be punished?

Right to privacy

In a worst case of political back-stabbing, Malaysian opposition politician Elizabeth Wong, a spinster has been intruded of her privacy. Naked photos of her while sleeping were taken and were circulated through mobile phones. She offered to resign for the sake of her 'party and its struggle for the people' . What makes the matter worst is a statement by one of the ex-chief ministers, Dr Khir Toyo. He says She is a single person. How can she allow a man into her room when they are not married? What's the status of their relationship? So, when you want to extort a woman, rub of her credentials by intrusion. Ask her to sleep fingers crossed that no one photographs!! Politics at its very dirty end.

Drunk and lost

The Japanese Finance minister Mr. Shoichi Nakagawa slurred in the G7 conference and has lost (he called it resignation) his post. He said that it is due to a heavy dose of cold medicine. Well Mr. Shoichi!! you are in a hot seat, whether you are drunk or drugged, you should feel the heat.

UK doing a Muthalik

How many of us felt bad for delaying a kiss?.. But in the Warrington Bank Quay railway station, officials have found that kissing causes delays and so have erected signboards. That should certainly impress Pramod Muthalik, but he has to strive to find such 'technical' reasons before posting agendas.

Pink chaddi

The valentine's day is over. Actually I wanted to oppose Ram Sena but could never imagine one like the Pink Chaddi Compaign . Its not a sort of opposing that Ram Sena could have expected. We were discussing about the compaign and one of our friends asked why Pink ? Another replied, " Its the colour of fools " (but I really don't know from where he read that) and another pointed out that it is regarded as the colour of feminism (this might be of some relevance to the compaign). Well ! the compaign has been really given some thought :) Many women have written about the campaign. I liked the articles written by Suchitra Krishnamoorthy and by Sagarika Ghose . Suchitra writes I understand your intention dear “pinkchaddicampaigner”, but If you want to become a goddess please dont behave like a whore. For Gods sake …Look at Pramod Mutaliks (the Sri Ram Sene chief’s) face… and lets ignore him for the bully and loser he is. He dosent merit all this fuss. Does he deserve s
