The trust vote

Thank God, they won. The Govt won the trust vote, ie. And, thank the lord more that Madam Mayawati did not come into the active fray for the post of the PM.

Even the good lord would not have been able to help India, if she had become the PM!!!!!!!! The country would have gone to the dogs, she and her partymen would have been richer and richer and.......... and India might have started resembling one of those countries where the rulers are rich & the public is poor. And, of course, we from the 'General Categories' would have had to scoot from the country as we would have not got jobs. And, imagine a situation where the other countries would make stricter immigration laws and people from the general categories would not be allowed to / would find it difficult to go to those countries as well!!!!!!!

Oh, for the trust vote. Let us hope we get younger leaders now. We do not need these over the hill leaders who don't understand the changing times and live by the age old antiquated moralities.

Arushi case

After an anormous brouhaha over the murders and murderers...the young girls' life...the role of the servant ....now there is silence on who the real killers are. CBI has said that the three servants did it, but nevertheless have not confirmed it. The father is out, but who did it and why was he blamed?? Will the CBI finally confirm who the killers r???? Or will they let it hang? Where are the weapons? Where are the mobiles? What was the role of Hemraj? Why was the father arrested in the first place? Why was there an allegation of an affair which led to the killing? Why did the police cook up stories or why did they just made a statement based on what a servant told them, without verifying the facts? How could they be so callous? And, why has the police officer who mishandled the case been promoted?

Why did the media do, what they did?
Can we expect no justice when there is a problem? And, now the CM who used a case like this to make a statement / hold a press conference (she does not have better things to do, I guess), is touted to be the PM?????!!!!!!!!!

MyBlog: Miracle boy - Supratim Dutta

Miracle boy - Supratim Dutta

Miracles....when they happen, u don't know whom to attribute them to. Luck or something else.

This boy - Supratim Dutta, the way he has been saved, what with the rod in him for over 2 hrs!!! And, his grit. Also, must praise the presence of mind of the cops who came, the colleague & the welder - all of whom cut the rod. What they must have gone through - one wrong stroke and a human life at stake. Bravo. And, kudos to the company HCL, which is paying for his treatment, even though he is technically not its employee. Wish all companies were like this. Amazing.

My best wishes and prayers for the boy. May he recover soon.

Money...money honey

Money rules the roost....and it is tough to hold on to it!!!!

How to get more money and make more money? How to save? How to ensure u don't need more than what u get and have.... Money to buy a house, money to buy food, money to buy clothes, money to buy almost everything!!!! Sab paise ka khel hai bhaiya. :)

Social networks ..... R the people for real??

Are the profiles / people on social networking sites for real?? Even the sites carry a warning to 'accept friends' from those people whom u know or are friends of friends. It is so difficult to gauge the genuineness of any person on the net. How do u know that the person whom u r talking about the issues of the world is a real person, is a man when he claims to be one and not a woman hiding her identity? Or vice versa.
How do u judge?
And, what about the many friendship offers one keeps on getting? How safe is it to upload photographs?
And, is it not boring to to be talking to people on net, without seeing them? And, then to able to only post scraps, write messages....can u have a full conversation?
Orkut, Facebook, Yaari.com, linkedin, Flickr, batchmates.com, tagged.com, WAYN....... The list is endless. ..

I keep on getting invites to join one or another almost 2-3 times a month from some friend or the other. I have joined some to check what they are, but I muct confess, I have not been a regular and have failed to update my posts and profiles.

Houses in Delhi ....India

Houses are sooooooooooooo expensive these days!!!!!!! Impossible to buy. The real estate prices have skyrocketed. THe realty boom (??) has marked a pall of gloom for the middle class. The prices of houses have shot up by double in the last six months, or the landlords are just going crazy. In Delhi, in places like Dwarka or even the outskirts of Dwarka towads Dabri Mor, the prices of the houses - sold through owners, have literally doubled in the last six months. The middle classes like us cannot take houses in areas of our choice. Only if we agree to go out of Delhi towards Ghaziabad or even further, can we get houses that we can buy - even with housing loans.

And, the housing loans are another story....the rate of interest!!! Gawd.

What does one do in this scenario?

Todays' news

So much for trying to keep up with the news....so much to follow, so much to remember. i do not remember half of the things. And, sometimes do not understand half of them...so, all in all, a wonderful situation where I cannot keep updated with the latest. Am I dyslexic?? :D

Voice overs & voice training

Anybody who can tell me how to get into doing voice overs??? Where does one get trained? Does one need to get trained? How do these classes help? Where can one find more about voice overs & becoming a voice over artist? In Delhi. Help........

Blogs....blogs...blogs

What does one write in a blog? Anything? Everything? Or some issues of national importance :D
Does one use it only for online marketing? Personal blogs are difficult to write. What do I put down??
