Hawking Haneef...

Let me make this clear at the very beginning...My sympathies are with Haneef. But are we not going a tad overboard with his welcome? He is a man who was under suspicion of being a terrorist. His cousin is allegedly a terrorist, currently fighting for his life in the UK. His act (Sabeel, not Haneef) would have killed millions of people at Glasgow airport... all innocent, many Indian. So here's my question. Did we really need so many cameras (including ours) recording statements by his wife, his mother, father, brother, second cousin, vegetable vendor and dhobi etc? Did the Indian PM need to take a breather from condemning terror activities in India to say that he had 'tears in his eyes' when he saw the family suffer the way they did? Did the Karnataka state government need to offer Haneef a job as if....

You know what? I'm tired. Sick and tired. I have just gotten off the election juggernaut when it's time to clamber back on again... For goodness sake! The ink from the last time isn't even off my finger yet! In a land famous for sun sand and surf, Goa's politicians don't seem to want any of it... instead preferring to spend all their time playing their favorite sport "Topple The Government".

The government has been in power for less than 2 months. And the man has barely gotten a chance to govern! His first month was spent in wheeler dealing for ministerial berths. And it was a a beautiful study in how adults could resemble 4 year old kids throwing....

"I am 16 years old and my boyfriend is 17. We were kissing... and now I haven't had my period for 2 weeks. Am I pregnant? Open any newspaper and look at the advice column. If you aren't actually laughing at the questions, you're probably shocked at the kind of misinformation that is doing the rounds... That's right. For a nation that has one of the highest populations, we Indians know precious little about sex. For a nation that authored the Kamasutra, we just don't know the how and where...and for a nation that needs an act of parliament to give its citizens the right to information... it's hardly surprising.....
