What a drama !!

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Usually I ignore Indian Politics.. but heck I was forced to watch this while parents were transfixed to the TV from morning on this and went on till evening until the PM won the vote..

I was apalled at the way the members behave..

Its like a shouting match as to whose decibels outdoes the other..

Breaking news. After this… it had Amar Singh screaming.. .Am I a prostitute to sleep for money .. ( in Hindi of course !! ) GAWK.. where did that come from.. ?? You are on TV ?? Was that a publicity stunt..
And before that to make his case safe.. he says that he was vomitting the whole morning.. and Mr Yadav was there with him.. Pathetic.. !! Hahah !! He looked healthy as a horse.. LOL.

He is protesting too much.. we saw.. also heard.. that ” If I had to play games, I would not play it with known people, Do you think I am a wet behind the ears” ( In Hindi) . So he does admit that he plays games..
Its like one by one, all the layers are being more and more visible..

It makes me feel I am watching an disorganized circus where all the players.. are playing their own game without any co-ordination..

I know its all rant but heck.. I love this country mine.. When I see this.. it saddens me as to how immature we still have the tendency to behave.. and make a spectacle of ourselves.. just to spite one another..

And one can say everything is fair in politics and war.. What crap.. !!!

And more power to the PM.. I dont like to take sides.. but I think I am glad for the PM.

And this one I love.. I had tweeted it… Laloo Zindabad.. You have to see this.. He has gumption.. He is one of the most honest dishonest politician … I love seeing his interviews.. :)

Go Figure…

Read this a while ago..

Scientists have pinpointed a reason why people with Indian ancestry may be more prone to weight problems.

They have found this group is more likely to carry a gene sequence linked to an expanding waist line, weight gain and type 2 diabetes.

The sequence, discovered by a team led by Imperial College London, is carried by 50% of the population – but is a third more common in Indian Asians.

This is depressing.. :(

Then I came across this

Half of Britons have said hello to fewer than half a dozen people in their street in the last week, a survey for BBC Breakfast has suggested.

But one in ten of those questioned for the programme by ICM Research spoke to no-one.

More than a fifth (22%) of Britons believe that the UK’s neighbourhoods are becoming less friendly.

However, the survey does suggest that about a quarter of people (24%) will have said hello to anything up to 10 neighbours in a week.

I think we are much better in this sphere.. so much so that the neighbors would not mind becoming family.. keeping both good and the bad in mind.. buhahaha !!
