We the people

Two big events happened yesterday 

1. Cyclone Aila

2. Jalandhar rage

Cyclone Aila hit West bengal like there was no tomorrow, a category 5 cyclone, destroying what came in it's path, uprooting trees, electric poles e.t.c... I was not aware as were many peple in west bengal where the expected arrival was in the late evening to mid noght yet it hit in the middle of afternoon.

Killing\attack on Sikhs in vienna - I just did not understand the mob fury on buses, trains, shops ...what is the meaning of all this...I still do  not understand the reason behind a group of people suddenly burning and destroying everything in response to a attack that happened so far away.... wherein the anger is justified but the show just does not make any sense to me.

I was expecting a better coverage of these events in TV but noooooooooooo... that was not to be . Same thing happened during the bihar floods as well, then it is actually the way we are, our span of attention to is so low that TV channels don't have any option but to look for more and more news and it is one breaking news after another... 

The meaning or the idea behind breaking news has changed ...  as in now every news is a breaking news as it breaks away from the last one to the new one....  

living alone

I did not realize, I have never lived alone in my life, either had family or friends all the time.

So this was the first time I was living alone...really alone..afetr the initial few ays...things have kinda settled down to a really slow time wrap around me especially saturdays and sundays.

DO I like it like this...not too sure but it is not too bad either... I knda like the complete ownership of the place...IT IS MINE...comes to my mind quite often...however i miss the conversation... e.t.c

One thing I notice is that complete silence... just shut down everything at 1 in the morning...and you will not hear anything at all.

Saw congress win today...this was good, we needed a strong govt. in the center especially during these troubled times.

At last CPM lost it's majority stake in west bengal elections, I hope Mamta does not squander the chances away in the next two years... she needs to understand that ...it is probably the best opening she has got in the last few years... to win the assembly elections...and I hope she wins...not that I beleve that she is an astute leader, but the fact is she will be able to break the CMP stronghold which will be beneficial in the years to come.

lastly, I do not know why people compare India and US...and think that we shold have the same systems that they have...   guys you need to realize.. we are a very young nation, a varied one to the last detail,within India  we do not speak the same language, we have different cultures, we have different faiths, no other country in the world this big(India is the 7th big nation)  has so much diversity .... I love it here.
