Musharraf admits militants trained in Pak

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-11474618

In case of Pakistan, Democracy can remain only on the papers. Whatever, encouraging militancy will never force India to bend for talks. Indian government may consider pak only when the bullying stops. Pity people in Pakistan.. your government was never in safe hands.

Forging rent receipts can cost your job

Carlton tower fire - Seen it happening !

The horrible scene of smoke rushing out of windows is still live in my eyes. Women jumping from seventh floor was the height of craziness.(a neat case where panic proved to drive minds crazy). I saw four people jumping from such heights. I could feel, despite the emotional feel to rescue, there was nothing much in my hands. I felt hands tied. I saw people shouting from the multi storey building for help. One by one was gasping for breath and rushing towards nearby ventilators. Many broke of the glass ventilators and were trying to breath some fresh air.

Most were seeing the death in their own eyes. Some were ready to attempt a jump, luckily the mob gathered around the building shouted "dont jump". Souls stood with some last hope in great panic. May be 45 minutes was required for the rescue. Modern day offices have cubicles(cages). Atleast animals see thru the cages. Some of us cannot even feel the weather outside. That is why so many people were trapped.

Mere need for office space shouldn't constraint any company from choosing a safe place. In India, if you ask "Do you have escape plan for fire incident ?".. without dispute, you will be asked to shut-up for saying something inauspicious while starting a new venture. It needs some wise men in such ventures to think smart and digest a few safety measures like these. It is not enough if someone claims that people are real assets. The reality is even worse. Disaster recovery measures are there for data/hardware/business. Somewhere in the dark, the importance of a real asset(people) is fading away.

பாராட்ட பட வேண்டிய விஷயம்

இந்நிலையில், தேர்தலில் வாக்களிக்கும் ஜனநாயகக் கடமையை ஆற்றாமல் வீட்டிற்குள் முடங்கிக் கிடப்பவர்களுக்கு வேட்டு வைக்கும் விதமாக குஜராத் மாநில சட்டசபையில் ஒரு தீர்மானம் நிறைவேற்றப்பட்டுள்ளது. உள்ளாட்சிக்கான தேர்தல்களில் அனைவரும் வாக்களிக்க வேண்டும். அவ்வாறு வாக்களிக்காதவர்கள், ஏன் வாக்களிக்கவில்லை என்பதற்கான காரணத்தை ஒரு மாத கெடுவிற்குள் விளக்க வேண்டும். காரணம் அரசாங்கத்தை திருப்திப்படுத்தாவிடில் அவர்கள் தண்டனையை சந்திக்க நேரிடும். இதுதான் தற்போது நிறைவேற்றப்பட்டுள்ள சட்டம். வழக்கம்போல் எதிரிக்கட்சிகளின், குறிப்பாகக் காங்கிரஸின் எதிர்ப்புக் கூக்குரலுக்கிடையே இச்சட்டம் நிறைவேற்றப்பட்டுள்ளது.

Dental problems are suicidal - Learn and know early

Of late, I realised, Chocolates are not the only stuff that are responsible for tooth decay.

Nature wasn't a little fair in my case... I had to get my wisdom tooth extracted (both sides) on the lower half, due to decay. May be this isn't common ailment, to know of the problem I am talking about, please visit .. http://www.webmd.com/oral-health/wisdom-tooth-extraction
or google for "Wisdom tooth extraction".

This write-up is not to scare anyone, visit a dentist periodically to diagonise problems early and avoid painful procedures. I thank god, for giving rest of good health in all other means.

Olympic Accolades for India

Abhinav Bindra hit bull's eye in Beijing 2008 Olympics winning top honours in the air rifle event and India's first individual Olympic gold medal, sending his billion strong nation into celebration mode.

Adding to the joy, Yet another Bronze medal was secured by the champ wrestler Sushil Kumar.

Congratulations to Abhinav and Sushil !!!

And Middle-Weight freestyle pugilist(One who does Boxing) Vijendar is already on the medals list. Semi's match will decide whether he settles with a bronze or progress further. His quarter-finals match was a good feat. Good Luck Vijendar.

What Olympics means in India ? : An event happening once in 4 years with a sense of neglect at being forgotten in a cricket-crazy country. Many remember it only when it commences and still cant shake off the monopoly of cricket in their lives. Yes, This is India :-)
