The Incredible nosiness of the average Indian

One aspect of Indian Culture that I do not like is how inssnely nosy the average Indian really is. These people are more than a little bit pointless and they also act incredibly stupid. They also are really rather annoying and also under developed in terms of their character. Although they do have other good qualities as well. Cheers

An Open letter to John Boehner

Dear Mr. Boehner
History informs us that it would be seriously unwise not to work out some sort of compromise with the President on the matter of the budget. Do not do what Newt Gingrich did in the late 1990's and cause the government to shut down. It is also important that solutions where everyone wins is better than than going the way of your predacessors. Do not fall into that trap. This would be seen as a huge irony if it didn't.

Sincerely
Rayag

The Return

A number of things are in the works right now and more events are coming up. Make the right life choices now and life will sort itself out and has a funny habit of making things the way it should be. Life is funny that way and you should trust your judgment and not do anything to reckless.

Soon I will be back in action

After a brief hiatus school will be back on and in session. Things are getting better but they could be getting worse. Your personal situation is almost getting back to normal on a regular basis. Your job is also in the final stages of being wrapped up. The name of the game is incremental improvement.

Things you realize that you are not into

Namely mindless violence, gambing, alchohol, illegal drugs and basically vices. You have made your share of mistakes and you have learned from them but you realize that you are not a scofflaw. People can't seem to make money without graft. It is really quite ridiculuous. There should be a reward for strait behavior.

The Road out of Exile

The road out of exile is a long one in this modern era but everything is going well and getting well and better shortly. In the near future there will be some tough decisions to be made but that is later and not now. Still we have to move on a more prudent time scale. Everything is happening rather slowly.

Things you will miss versus others you won't

Things you will miss include your cousin and friends and certain neighbors. Other things you won't miss include idiot losers who have no lives. People can be pretty darn stupid, lazy and nosy and your not going to miss any of them at all. Cultural traits that you see as detrimental.

Going back to school is a good thing

In a short while school will resume in ernest. Additionally it is a good thing in many respects. This is all for the better and I am working to reposition myself for better things. Everything is seeming to excelerate all around me now. It looks to be some tough but interesting times. Cheers.

Mastering the concepts of web design

Right now I am in the process of mastering the art of web design. It is really interesting and pretty damn cool. Learning to build your own websites for fun and profit. Technology is the way of the future as much as some people may think other wise. Cheers.

Just got done watching Harry Potter

Personally I have seen three of the nine Harry Potter movies. The last one of which Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II was watched this past weekend at PVR cinemas here in Mumbai. It was a fun time had by all and we saw the demise of Lord Voldermort on screen. All in all it was a pretty good book to movie adaptation although they took certain creative liberties with the original story. The acting also was decent. It is a bit sad that there will be no more Harry Potter films after this.

Thinking outside the box

A certain degree of out of the box thinking can be good and beneficial. In fact it seems that we tend to put ourselves in intellectual boxes often to the point at which we cannot absorb new ideas. This is really determinental in nature to all of us involved. We have to have a certain degree of open mindedness if we are to survive and advance as a specieces. Cheers.

Sad news from Mumbai

The Mumbai Serial bomb blasts of yesterday night were easily the work of the Lashkar E Taiba. The coordinated cold blooded killings in which twenty one persons perished were not in the style of local or homegrown terror groups. Once again the city ignored the signs and paid the price as they did on 26/11. It is sad to say that the central and state governments looked completely impotent. Not because they didn't have the information but because they failed to act appropriately. It is sad to say that history repeats itself especially in this case.

Stomach problems are no fun

I really don't enjoy being sick. I would much rather be healthy all things considered. But the past few days I didn't seem to have much of a choice in the matter. Things are getting better around here slowly. I was aware of that as well.

The Summer in Mumbai means rain

Mumbai where I am now means rain and lots of it. This time of year the weather can get inclement rather quickly. None the less you are trying to do the best that you can with the situation you are given. Cheers.

Going back to school and looking forward to it

Soon enough I will be back in the ranks of the collegians once more. It was a move that was long over due and it has come at the right place at the right time. At the given moment I am trying to do what is in my inherent best interest. None the less things are getting better around here now.

Reading Robert A. Heinlein

Robert A. Heinlein was a great author period. No matter if you like science fiction or not his abilities to command big ideas were second to none. Also the Grand Master knew how to spin a good yarn from start to finish. His story telling style is impeccable and I loved his fantasy writing. One day I hope to emulate his work.

Planning for error

Certain wise people amongst us say that failure is natural. Also it is one of the best teaching devises that we have. Smart people recover and adapt around their failures while the stupid people are crippled by them forever. Which one will you be.

Brace yourself for default

The Tea Party just might get their wish and the US is going to go into default because of massive unpaid debts. This does have an upside however that cannot be ignored. For one thing it will help to get our economic house in order which will benefit all Americans no matter what. A second good thing it will do is to help reign in our colossal debt situation. None the less both outcomes have a great deal of pain attatched to them right now.
