Few random things happening in the world...

So the mayhem and massacre in Egypt speaks volumes about the Muslim brotherhood and what they represent. Apparently they value neither their lives nor the lives of other innocent people, read this and this to know how terrifyingly volatile the situation is out there. These extremists organisations are a bane to peace and progress everywhere, they should be rooted out and... I don't know what should be done to them. Put them all in an island somewhere, from where they cannot escape, and put all our imbecile corrupt politicians there, throw in the rapists too... let them kill and fight each other to their hearts content. Then the normal and innocent people can have some peace and sanity. 
Pictures like this, instill hope though... (click on the image for a larger view)

Talking of Egypt, just when you think you couldn't love and respect Benedict Cumberbatch any more... he does something like this. This is so in tune with his character Sherlock, telling them to make themselves useful. He is a smart and an intellectual guy, it's gonna be fun to see how he comes back from the grave in season 3 to startle the others. So about his Reichenbach fall, the ball and John being knocked down had something to do with it. He fell and landed on something soft and we couldn't see that, cause we were seeing everything from John's point of view. So immediately his little helpers crowd round him, pour some blood around his head to make it look like he died, and then they take him away after giving John just enough time to check his pulse. Anyway, that's my theory...

Talking of interesting people, check out these stunning pictures of dancers in their element. Sleek super fit bodies flitting effortlessly through the air...

Talking of dancing, I loved this video of kids dancing an Indian classical dance, how talented and extremely flexible they are. You have to watch it till the end, to see the chariot ride they imitate, you'll fall in love with their extraordinary performance. Wish I had a little bit of the talent these kids possess...

nice....so sad as well....the one thing that really jumped out at me though was the christians and muslims protecting each other...and these things only seem to come out of adversity...that is pretty cool though and maybe a step...

Those children are so talented! I have a passion for Indian classical dance. We lived in India for 5 years and I took Bharat Natyam lessons for all that time, my guru was in fact from Madras.

I loved my visit to Egypt so sad that people cannot be peace loving. There have always been wars of some sort in the world, and I guess it will never change until there is nobody left to fight!! Wish I could watch the video but our connection is too slow! Have a good day Diane

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

I hope the world doesn't end in 2012, I have a whole lot of books to read...

By
I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...

My school teachers...

By
So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher...
