After 2 months..

Its hard to believe,but its already been 2 months since I began my new job. Certain junctures in life are true turning points, and at the moment, this definitely seems like a career switch I'm gonna enjoy !
Reading tons of logs and not getting enuff new code to beat out was frustrating. Its like putting a frog in water and asking it not to swim..
Anyways, the new journey and environment definitely seem positive and the learning opportunity sounds inviting for sure...

Off late, I have taken a liking into the spiritual world and regularly read up stuff on Krishnasmercy.org. It definitely helps to elucidate the purpose of life and guides us on the righteous path towards salvation. The trick is to walk the talk and I hope to make some headway on those lines in the forthcoming future.

Its sick as usual to see Manmohan Singh extend an olive branch to Pakistan, this time almost forcing them to gobble up the 'humanitarian' aid for flood relief.
First and foremost, we grow no olives in India, maybe its the Italian influence on the government that causes them to associate so deeply with olives...
Anyways, the writing on the wall is clear, the pipeline of aid will be routed by the benign neighbor to the needy Taliban and Lashkar, which is in dire need of funds, and will use the same to fuel further unrest in the Kashmir valley. The mango diplomacy is being stretched too far.
Its so ironical that the Mango people or the 'Aam Aadmi' as Three Idiots introduced it, would not benefit a trifle from all this shenanigans of the politicians..

The Kashmir unrest seems to surface at regular intervals every couple of years, only resulting in more deployment of forces in the Valley and talks of autonomy. Why can't India, which is trying to ape its Big Asian Dragon Brother, just take a leaf out of their book and crush this movement for once. Look what has happened to these Asian neighbors since 1989, one country marching along the Yellow Sea en route the Pacific to humble Uncle Sam. The other still reeling under issues like corruption, Naxalism, and being the bashing boy for Mr. President. This time in the form of hi-tech Indian companies sponsoring the illegal drug trafficking and immigrant problem along the southern Hispanic border of the US.

Back home in the national capital, Mr. Kalmadi has ensured that the CWG are in news for all the wrong reasons. And why is he enjoying such patronage from India's first family? Is it because these contracts have a leaky pipe that leads into the benami Swiss bank accounts of 'you know who...'. Its truly a shame that the python of corruption has firmly gripped us and crippled the fabric of our society..

Phew, this has been such a sorry tale. But today is Friday, and its time to cheer up and shout TGIF !!!
