Replacing a white man’s head with a black man :-) Somebody lost their job

Down with fever

Damn… everytime i plan for vacations ahead, i will also have to plan for a doctor’s visit. In the end, i always fall sick when ever the family decides for an outing. This time it was my lil one that was vulnerable. She got this bout of cough & cold and conveniently passed it to me( as i am the delicate darling). And now she is all healthy and playing around while i am whining on bed :-( All i can do is watch TV and comment on how merry the ppl are around the world

My ego

I have realized that I am superior to all people. You are all mere flecks of dirt and fecal matter to me. I am EVERYTHING. You are nothing. WORSHIP MY FEET! - This is how i feel sometimes. I know my ego is strong :-)

Boy steals Rs 8 lakh from dad, buys car in driver's name

Read this news here

Gone are the days when children used to pocket coins from their father’s wallets to buy candies. With changing times and aspirations, as well as peer pressure, the amounts stealthily pocketed are getting larger and, of course, candies are no longer what children want.
Recently, a rich businessman’s son, a plus-one student, stole Rs 8 lakh from his home in Anna Nagar and purchased a car in the name of his father’s driver. It was the driver who finally blurted out the truth, and the family ended up with egg on its face.
The businessman, who kept large amounts of money at home, found Rs 8 lakh missing from the locker. There was no sign of a burglary, but he preferred a police complaint.
Investigations revealed that the driver had purchased a new car, and he was taken into custody. When police grilled him, he revealed the truth — his employer’s son had stolen the money to purchase the car, which was registered in the driver’s name. The shocked businessman then requested the police to drop the case.
Sources told TOI that the boy had stolen the money a few weeks ago, but his parents learnt about it only last week. “They seemed to have kept a lot of cash at home. The boy took the money to purchase a Swift Dzire car. He used the vehicle to go partying with his friends and for long drives. He would park the car by the roadside to prevent his parents from noticing it,” a police official said.
When we questioned the boy, he said many of his classmates drove posh cars and that they all had girlfriends. It was to attract female attention that he stole the money to purchase the car. Since he was not old enough to get a driving license, he knew his parents would not get him a car. So, he took the easy way out,” the official added

I can;t believe the boy bought a Dzire :-)Atleast he could have bought a Punto, I20 or IKON :-)

Philips DVD recorder/player with DivX

I picked this one from US. I had a hard time recording my videos from Digi cam onto a disk. The ones that i enquired in India was way too costly foe me to invest. So i had this item on my mind.

I saw a good deal on the net and ordered this for $ 80. As far i was concerned this was a steal because it had – i.Link for connecting my Digi cam, played DivX, recorded directly on disc and most importantly it was philips. I had an earlier philips dvd player and it still rocks.

So finally, today i got it plugged and after a bit of circus ( trying to isolate my lil one from the electronic stuff), i got it working. I can now record anything that comes on TV directly and also anything recorded on my Digi cam can be burned as well. Sweet.. and all this with just one press of button.

The greatest fear i had was – will this play indian discs( or was it region locked)? But fortunately, any disc i threw in it plays. So i guess i just got lucky. Else i would have to spend sleepless nights for a unlock code or run around local electric repair shops to have the chip modded.

Currently, i am recording a Tom and Jerry to test it out and you won’t believe it’s stunning. So all in all – My sony bravia + Philips DVD player + set top box completes my home theatre system.

Sport car in city

I love old cars for their performance. Well more than performance, you will have to admit that you can be a bit bold on your mods( read: modifications).You can tweak, customize and spend on old beauties making them look weirder than the new lot.Spotted today on Hosur road.....

Whilst driving to work today, i spotted this old premier padmini - fiat car, that was modded to a great extent..i tried to figure out the mods, but the traffic kept me away and guess what the car was speeding away..Anyway i got a chance to click a couple of pics before it went outa sight...Some noteable mods were - alloy wheels, F1 muffler, some paint designs, somw new kinda spoiler, sporty looking rear view mirrors, mods on top to look like corsa swing. To bad i could not see more...

Hurricane Katrina Man Made?

I was watching a show on the history channel called "weather warfare". Apparently the track of hurricane katrina; indeed maybe the whole thing, was created by high energy transmitters owned by either Russia, China or both of them together. I dunno, i think its definetly possible. Indeed, the US government operates something called HAARP (google or wikipedia it) up in Alaska that is supposedly being used to control the weather and maybe other things (i.e create earthquakes). Who knows...even India may operate a system like this. It makes me wonder what governments are really up to. I know much has been made of US and Russian or Chinese secret projects; but what about India?
Does India have a secret too? Well'll if it was a secret , how I am supposed to know :-)

Time to disarm Pakistan

Because of the attacked by Taliban/ Al-Qaeda /home grown terrorists/external terrorist and the Government is unable to control this. Is it time to disarm Pakistan from Nuclear for the safety of the world?

Easy to say, hard to do. Infact, it might actually be counter productive. Disarming might be seen by Pakistanis as an attack on their sovereignty. If foreign forces go in then they will have to face another Afghanistan.

Anyways, The worst thing anyone who hates Pakistan can do at the moment is to give Pakistan a foreign enemy. Let them fight it out amongst themselves. Just my 2 cents....
