Going Green, is not always good ?

I read, i forget which magazine now, on board a flight yesterday, that 'corn used to fill a 25-gallon vehicle tank with ethanol one time would feed one person for an entire year'. A quick search on the web showed a bunch of sites that seem to carry this message, here is one - Coop America.

The question is how do we solve this problem? The only true way, seems to be in moderation of consumption. Switch off the engine and walk !! Well, are you ready to do that? Hold on, Am i ready to do that ?

dead meat

It is difficult not to look at this moment, with nothing other than a sense of happiness and relief. The death of Prabhakaran, much as many would consider a hero of the tamil cause, is a man wanted in India, for the assassination of a Prime Minister. His death, albeit by the Sri Lankan military, is still the desired outcome.

 

My Obituary

With his death, i believe people interested in the cause of the tamil people in Sri Lanka, can truly join together to help their cause.

Vodafone ZooZoo - Funniest one

These commercials caught my attentions (like a million other people), when it first started airing during the IPL cricket games. I have picked the one that i found the most funny. I liked the stupid and comical laugh from the zoozoo, as he trys to fool the croc. Well, then he gets a little busy to answer the phone. :)

So, explain this to me !!

This short news brief reported by AFP, was carried by a lot of news sites and papers. I read it first on the front page of the Economic Times, under their 'Suddenly Something' column, which is mainly some weird or funny news from around the world.

The whole news was rather weird, but the last line of the report made it even weirder, and left me dazzled at the brilliance of the whole initiative.

More than half of all male doctors in China smoke, but the government is now trying harder to get them to kick the habit in order to set an example for others, state media reported recently.

So here is my question, the point is to stop smoking or to encourage smoking? I am not sure if i should question the judgment of the Chinese government initiative or the the possible brilliance of the reporter who first caught the story. Something is wrong somewhere. No matter which, there is a lot of room for thinking.

News: No butts: China orders officials to smoke

Let your Vote Count

This is from advertisement created by Times of India's Lead India campaign to create awareness about the power of a vote.

Three out of two phases of the election to the create a new parliament and government to lead the country for next five years are over. The results so far are not encouraging. By results i mean, the percentage of votes cast, not who is elected. It does not mean we should lose hope. It just means we need to be more agressive about this message.

Taliban flogs girl, in Swat valley, Pakistan

This video is gruesome and disturbing. But i hope watching it only enrages your mind to protest and curb these deviant behaviour.



Pakistan is a funny country, in many ways similar to India and probably like most other countries in the world. This happening in Pakistan does not mean there is wholesome support for this practice, nor does it mean that people quietly accept this either.
Editorial in Dawn.

Taliban is not the face of Islam. But unless more muslims come out in protest, it will become one soon. The western and other media shows no compassion for taliban and does not do enough to highlight the difference between this group and the religion it supposedly preaches.

Nah No?

Take sometime to watch this funny scene from the movie - Monty Python and the holy grail.


This is one of my all time favorites. I have seen a few of the other Monty Python and TV comedy stuff. But i think this is one of their very best.

You know, there is something about the brits and their ability to tickle your funny bone. They usually dont have to do a thing, just say something in all seriousness.
