Wow, i havent posted anything on my blog in 2 weeks. That is sad, and considering I am the only one who actually reads this thing, I owe an apology to myself!

Quite a few things happened the past two weeks. The thing is politics is that there are so many different events that occur, and with the media's half-assed and biased coverage, its very hard to judge what was important and what wasnt.

For example, Prakash Karat said that BJP was enemy number one, and that they were building a third front. You know, many might think this is important news. The fact is that this news is very worthy of ending up under a pile of dung. Firstly, the commies have always hated the BJP. I mean would I be a small person, or a rabid Hindu fundamentalist to say that the commies hate the BJP because the former makes no bones about how much they hate Hinduism, and naturally, BJP is the political face of that, apparently.

As for the third front, some spoofs on some media channel was right to point out that its only a threat to the Congress government, because the commies know that the Congress is a very spineless government, that is given to bending over backwards to minority vote banks, and enemies of the state. Quite a serious allegation huh? If you concentrate hard enough, you can almost see the froth coming out of my rabid Hindu mouth.

I think the one thing that seems to be affecting me is now ineffective India is in dealing with our neighbors. They all are inconsequential states on the global stage, are dependent on Indian support and yet they all seem to be ready to pick fights with us without any fear at all. I mean, look at Nepal, and damn us, we can't keep the only Hindu nation in the world on our side!

Secularism is such a convenient word. The Commies are out wooing the minority votebanks because they need to win after many people are beginning to see through their treachery. Yet their number one priority is to fight the BJP so that there is a secular government. What is secularism? Its nothing, its just a political word thats been raped so many times that its unrecognizable now. The congress is afraid to try traitors and enemies of the country in court because they are afraid they will anger the minorities. Apparently the minorities in the country side with our enemies. I am not saying it, but those who have sense should be able to see through the government's actions and their mindset.

The stock market crashed today, and some stocks are cheaper by more than 60 percent. You know, i would have loved to buy them, because given our young and fickle market, I am sure they will grow again. But the unfortunate news is that I have no money. Ahh, the pain. I mean, heres a stock which was 2000 bucks for example, and its down to 500, and even if it gets to 1000, its still a 100% profit for me! And that's why i am so sad that i have no money to do this.

India won the Perth test, and ideally, the series should have been tied at 1-1 and the Sydney test a draw. Aussies are poor losers. People justify it by saying that they are not used to losing, and so dont know the feeling. Ah, its hard to come across stinkier crap than this.
I really hope we win the next test. Man, I am such a fan on Jumbo bhai. The man is sophistication personified, and a freakin mountain of a personality.

Sania's in all sorts of controversies. I suppose the fundamentalists just can't digest the fact that a single, young Muslim woman is doing so good, who is so modern and so progressive. I am sure it gets their beards in knots they didn't know existed. I didn't really pay much attention to Sania before, but I must say, I am with her all the way on this. Which leads me to ponder that I think its only a recent phenomena that fundamentalists of all kinds are ruling our country, and the only reason why this is, is because our political parties are only too happy to cheer along in the hope of getting their votes. I really hope the middle class wakes up.

And the media's tendency to hype 'news' and sensationalize every juicy non-news is just sad, its just sad. And in my mind, whats even sadder is that so many people lap this stew up. This decade has seen a death of ideas, a death of free speech in our country. And all the money in the world can't replace a person's right to justice and a life of dignity.
