Random... but not rants :)

Had a post ready in mind but couldn’t write it down coz was caught in work after the 2 day break. Anyways... so instead I thought to combine tht post (cut it short) and some other things which have been going on in my mind since last week.

Before going to the trip had gone for a hair cut. Yeah I do remember my promise to grow it long but since I was heading for the beach, the salty sea water takes its toll on the hair. Thts why had gone for trimming it a little bit :) I have had the same barber for say around 8-9 yrs now. But tht day I came to know tht he left tht place. The new man who took his place was huge. He was like around 6’4 n a very well built man with a smirk on his face which seemed to convey “Here comes my prey”. Instantly I remembered the David n Goliath story. But he did his job well. Usually I immerse myself in some glossy mag but tht day they had only the newspaper. So was browsing thro and noticed tht almost all news were of bloodshed, terrorism n animosity.
I was wondering and thanking God tht we are leading a peaceful life here while the neighbouring nations are burning in heat waves of terrorist attacks and political ambitions. Nepal is having their share of Maoist attacks while Srilanka is reeling under LTTE regime. Even our own state Gujarat is currently under tension following the communal violences. A pretty decent politician (as compared to others) was shot by his own brother n he succumbed to the injuries yesterday. Why do press photographers click pics instead of helping the victims? The ‘famous’ Godhra train massacre pic of a man crying for help in tht train n his whole body bathed in a blood fetches a prize for the photographer. According to me this is real bullshit!
Its all gory in the front pages of newspprs. Not anything worth reading on the last sports page either. Tendulkar is out of action for his injuries n misses important matches while Wayne Rooney gets injured n seems to skip the soccer World Cup starting next month. How come players suffer injuries bang ahead of a major event?

Why does a coin always have two sides? Does technologically being advanced means invasion of privacy? (I m not seeking answers here but just venting out stuff)

Enough of heavy stuff...
I don’t know how many will like this link, but I found it funny. NOTE: Discretion to watch it is always urs’ :) Check tht no one is peering over ur shoulders :D. I m wondering if we could have her here, i would go for trimming every morning ;)

Btw, does anyone know the inventor of washing machine? Or who first made Maggi noodles? If u do, pls convey my thnx to them.

My trip was gud… though short enjoyed it a lot. This time almost all guys were juniors n some of them were not knowing anybody else frm the group. But, gelled well n made the most out of the time. Went to 2 beaches, Nagaon n Kihim (both near Alibaug). Will upload some of the pics on the other blog in next few days.
