President's rule in Bihar...

Sounds a good news to me.. though peoples have always said that a governemnt of the people for the people and by the people (democratically elected one) is better than the President's rule, I think anything other than Laloo is good for Bihar... atleast for some days...

Certainly no new government can change the situation of Bihar in a night becauase Laloo Raj hasn't left any stone unturned while eating the entire state... But the announcement of K. P. S. Gill as the security advisor of the governor gives me some hopes that alteast he can do something to improve the law and order in Bihar...

Somehow I have a very good impression of him. I always saw him as another hero of our times...He made Panjab a terrorist free state... well, people criticize his style but I think that at times you need to take some strong decisions... The only thing that has to be seen is whether he is still the same Gill or has lost his touch over the time.

Another news of concern is that the President's rule is very much influenced by the center... and as the central government has Laloo as its ally it might end up as a psuedo Laloo Raj...

Well !! I just hope that it won't happen ???

Indian beheaded in Saudi Arabia

Just read this shocking news in Rediff... One Indian, Malaya Maroti Bajantra, was beheaded in public because he was convicted of robbery and murder... again another example of Hummurabian justice.... I don't say that a criminal shoudn't get punishment... but this is really outrageous ... don't these countries have any value for life .... when the entire world is thinking over lifting the Capital Punishment... we still see these stinking examples... When will they understand the value of human life .... The news article had one line : Among those beheaded are mostly Asians as the Saudi government often sets free Western convicts because of political pressure. I don't know how much truth is in the above statment... but its really shameful if our government is not doing anything to stop this kind of incidences.. And what is the media doing about all this... they seem very interested in publishing the news of beheading.. didn't they find this news worth consideration when they come to know about the trial in the first place ... May be something could have happened in that situation... Well! may be in that case it wouldn't have been such a big NEWS ...

Kyun Ki Main Jhooth Nahi Bolta !!!

Last night me and Utkarsh saw another demo of Maddy's brilliant talent of telling lies... I was going to have dinner and just stopped by his room to ask him whether he would like to come for the dinner... At that time he was chatting with Utkarsh. He saw me and suddenly his face expressions changed ... Maddy: "I have a bad news for all of us" Me: "Kya Hua" Maddy: "Yaar abhi abhi khare ko bataya hai .. ab dubara himmat nahi ho rahi, tum padh lo .. " and then he shows me the IM conversation box between him and Utkarsh... First Line: PK Reddy Sir told Kamal Sir that our Stream Project is complete. Second Line: Kamal Sir is very happy about It. Third Line: He had asked us to put it on demostration tommorrow in Excitement of Research. Now, I was totally dumbstruck. Because in reality also our Project guide thinks that our project is almost over and the above conversation looked so convincing. I was thinking what to do next.. certainly we can't finish this project overnight.. need atleast a week for that... and if we can't what are we going to show tomorrow... I was in this state for some 5 minutes... then Pankaj again said that.. it was just a lie ... we don't need to give a demo... he had only got a mail which has asked him to come in the DE lab he wants to put the project on demo... Jhandoo Pankaj ... I felt like kicking him ... but then I was so happy about the fact that we are not showing anything so I just enjoyed the entire scene. Haan, there was one more intereting thing .. Khare was still not aware about the truth ... and the poor soul was coming hostel to meet us to discuss about the demo :)
