Khoon Ka Badla Khoon

I think we all are well aware of the CEO lynching news story by now. I term it as a news "story" as it is just a story for all the news channels. This is what our educated Industry Minister Mr Oscar Fernandes has to say on the matter Read it here.

So after reading this news article, I was convinced that Congress is really missing the CPI and the left parties, so they themselves have taken up this task. And moreover correct me if I am wrong, isn't this a case where a person "DIED" it really doesn't matter to me if he / she was a CEO, or a laborer, how can Mr Oscar Fernandes explain the death of a father / son / husband this way, what lesson should his family learn from this incident, track down the main culprit who was behind provoking and kill him ? Are we living in a civilized society ? Is this the way a civilized society functions ?

I will buy that argument Mr Fernandes, biut then you have to buy a lot of my arguments:

1) If I kill you, and then come up with the funda that "this is a lesson for all the netas, to behave themselves or they would be shot naked"
2) You move around in a car, you stay in a lavish bunglow, your son / daughter goes to premier school / college, now if somebody kills you, and comes up with the funda " This is a lesson for all the people who are driving a car, living in a posh bunglow and whose children go to premier schools / colleges"

There can be n number of similar arguments. Congress is wooing people left right and center for getting votes in the next elections. But if they didn't knew something, I just want to make them realize that these are all petty issues, everybody would forget them, like everybody forgot the Arushi Murder case, but Terrorism, Inflation and Communal violence are some cases which is eating up the "aam janta" . However I know that a lot of things are responsible for inflation, but still UPA will have to bear the heat for it.

Mr Fernandes (AKA Loser): Please get some brains, and if you do not have the grey matter then please keep your mouth shut, or just read my argument number 1

Updates....

Its been a long time since I have posted something here, yes I have the same old excuses which everybody has. Work was keeping me busy, and when I was at home, I just wasnt in a mood to look at my laptop. I guess 9 hrs in office was more than enough.

So some updates: I have ordered new shoes (Yay!) this time they are Asics Gel Nimbus 10, and they are for Nuetral feet, lately I visited the doctor and I was told that my feet are no longer over pronating, maybe the styule of running has goit corrected over the period of time, and I was surprised that "I" was wearing the wrong shoes!!!

The second thing that I would be possessing soon is the Garmin ForeRunner 205, well its a gadget which looks like a watch, but actually is a GPS, which can really he;lp you in training for a marathon, as it gives you your speed, the distance you have run., the amount of calories burnt and other statistics. Would be getting both these things in the last week of this month, so I am pretty excited about them !!

The running aspect wasnt very great in the last couple of weeks, I have been getting this pain in my heel pretty often, and had a bad stomach infection, so my weekday runs were okay, but the weekend long runs were pretty screwed up. So this week I plan to rest most of the time, so that I am ready for a 35K on the weekend.

More after the runs!
