Who is more punishable?

This blog is with reference to the recent judgement ruling Allister Pereira guilty in a hit and run case back in November 2006.

Pereira was supposedly under the influence of alcohol when he drove his car into the pavement which resulted in 7 deaths and another 8 people getting injured. Let us see what the possible reasons are for this mishap.

1. Drunken Driving

2. More importantly, the fact that those people were sleeping on the pavement.

As Pereira has been given a less than justified punishment of 6 months, we only criticize the police for not investigating properly. Are we missing the bigger picture somewhere?

We always blame somebody for an event and fail to understand why it happens and never take precautionary steps.

Had he not been under the influence of alcohol , but if the brakes of the car had failed he would still have killed those people.

Now let us understand why people sleep on the pavement. They do because they do not have a proper home to sleep. Why people do not have a home to sleep? Because people without a home keep giving birth to children even if they do not have the capability to take of themselves. They have a right to keep themselves hungry. They do not have a right to keep their children hungry. How long will they hope that their lives will get better in the future? Please understand that by giving birth to children more and more they are only worsening their lives. Do you want your children to suffer like you do. First get yourself a decent home that can take care of your needs. Even if you take some 20 years to get that, it is worth it. First make sure you can support your child's basic needs.

You do not have any right do deny children their basic rights citing your economic status. Please do think over it. Do you want your children to sell lottery tickets on roads just because you are not economically sound? Why should your children suffer because you could not control your lust?

Think through and make your lives better

( Sorry if I had hurt any of your sentiments , but I had to say this in this way only )

What a DAY !!!!!!!!

What a day we have had!!!!!!! When I woke up from my bed, a great news was waiting to cheer me. Yes, it is the TATA- CORUS deal. This is the largest deal ever by an Indian company. Strangely Corus is around 4.5 times the size of Tata Steel. Tata Steel is going to pay around $ 11 billion to become the world's 5th largest in terms of steel output. This did not come as easily as said. First Tatas gave a bid in October'06 to buy Corus. When all of us were happy that the deal will go through, there came the Brazilian company Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) outbidding Tatas. It led to a round of revisiting of bids by both the companies . Both of them were given Jan 30 as the last date to give their finalised bid. As both the companies were very keen on the acquisition, it was later decided that there will be an auction consisting of 9 rounds. Though nothing much happened in the initial 2 rounds, at the end Tata managed to outbid CSN by 5 pence a share to emerge the winner.

The merger of Arcelor and Mittal steel kickstarted the consolidation in the steel industry, where the market is very fragmented. Even after the Tata-Corus deal, the top 5 companies command only 20% market share. Hence there are possibilities of much more M&A s possible in the coming years.

One more great news to us is the Century scored by Sachin Tendulkar. He shut the mouths of his critics by scoring a hundred of just 76 balls. A huge six over the mid wicket was the image of the day. The ball never returned. Deservingly, Sachin was both man of the match and man of the series. Let us hope that we see Sachin at his prime in the upcoming world cup.

India is proceeding in the right direction. Way to go !!!!!!!!!!! Come on India dhikadho

Execution "Unfortunate" it seems

New Delhi has called Saddam's execution as "unfortunate" and "disappointing". I guess we are talking about the death of a murderer who killed innocent people for his selfishness and not about somebody who served people. But what we forget is that 3 bags of skulls and skeletons of little children have been found in Noida. It was found that these children were sexually abused before being killed. It is really more unfortunate than Saddam's execution. When will we realise our priorities ? I hope the government knows about this incident. Please wake up guys. Know your duties. Give importance to issues that affect the common man more than the political issues.

Of course Saddam is punishable, but how innocent are you?

Orkut is under construction. So I have to do something else online. I better write a blog on something that I wanted to write for a long time.

Now that Saddam Hussein has been executed by the so called "Iraqi" Government which I dont agree with, lets look at the issue from my perspective.

Of course he killed innocent civilians and committed brutal murders. He raped young girls who visited Iraq. But what did u do? You killed more people than he did and you have made a bad country worse which is killing itself with civil wars. Who gave you the authority to go and raid Iraq? Is it because of your money? Time will decide the worth of your currency. It is not long before your currency will be treated like toilet paper. Your so called "dominance in the world" will be shattered in another few years.

You claimed that there were weapons of mass destruction at Iraq. So you brought in some (not some, very huge amounts) weapons of mass destruction to Iraq to counter them. But I am sorry, you have not found any weapon of mass destruction. You killed whomever you wanted to by linking him with Saddam. You destroyed the whole country of Iraq. Can you give back life to those innocent millions of people who lost their life just because they were in Iraq.

You supported Saddam when you wanted him to counter Iran. But when he stopped doing that, you go back and stab him to death. You are very good at this art.

I am glad that your country is being served by a "good and intellectual" person as the chief. As long as your country has such a person, no weapons of mass destruction is required. He will take care.

Im leaving for now, waiting for another opportunity for orkut to go under construction.

INDIA WINS ATLAST

Now here I am, pressing F5 every 30 seconds, waiting for Indian Institute of Foreign Trade(IIFT) results, I have nothing more interesting than to write a blog. India has at last won a test in South Africa(We have won in Australia but not in South Africa) . The good point in this victory was that, we cannot pinpoint on a particular player to have won the match singlehandedly. It was more of a team effort that paid India the goods. Let us now look at the individual performances of the match.

Sourav Ganguly:

The comeback man, who played with guts in the game scored a 51* in the first innings. The very fact that he ran out of partners shows his grit and determination.

VVS Laxman:

The man who demolished the Aussies is now back to torment the South Africans. His technique is very good and he is the man for our middle order. His 75 in the second innings helped us stretch our lead to more than 400, an important psychological barrier.

Sreeshanth:

This dancer boy from Kerala showed us the character to be shown on these kind of pitches. He never gives up . His 5-wicket haul in the first innings virtually sealed the match in our favour.

Sachin Tendulkar:

Our Master batsman showed hints of his old form during his first innings knock of 44. Lets see how he performs in the rest of the series.

I am looking forward to good knocks from Sehwag and Dravid. They are due for a long time.

Dhoni has to play his role of a cameo like a quickfire 70-80.

Zaheer and Kumble are bowling well and if they continue so, India has the chance to win the test series.

Come on INDIA dhikado !!!!!!!!
