Orlando in the finals

Yesterday the Orlando Magic for the first time since 1995 earned a trip to the NBA finals. It is a big surprise to the Cinderalla story of this years NBA playoffs. No one expected, except me of course that Orlando would get this far. I was aware of that as well.

The Sri Lankan Massacre

Late this past week over 20,000 civilians primarily Tamils were killed on mass by the Sri Lankan Army. This amounts to a good sized genocide. It is also the results of the end of the thirty six year long struggle with the LTTE also known as the Tamil Tigers. This sad state of events should have never happened. I was aware of that as well.

Standing Up

Lets face it the world is an insane place. we have to shake our heads just how things got to this state. It should not be this way but it is. This is the way things will have to be for a long time. I was aware of that as well.

A Place Called Home

Home can be two things. It can be a literal, physical place. However it can also be a spiritual place as well. Home is after all what we make of it. The place can be anywhere we are so long as we are whole. I was aware of that as well.

playing like the MVP

He might not be the NBA MVP but Dwight Howard is playing like the MVP. Originally he was my choice for the MVP award. The Award should be purely merit based. Howard happens to be an exceptional player and the league's future. I was aware of that as well.

India votes for stability

The poll results are in and the Congress Party headed up by Sonia Ghandi won the majority of seats in the Indian Lokh Sabha (People's assembly). The congress party won some 165 seats out of 250 available seats. They still need to forge an alliance with a smaller party in order to declare a decisive majority. Either way this is a major setback to LK Advani the senior leader of the BJP. Manmohan Singh the current Prime Minister is due to get a second term easily and now he has the political support he needs to see through necessary reforms.

A New Day Ahead

A new day is ahead. Personally I am looking forward to it. My personal situation is still changing to say the least. It is continuously evolving and will evolve further. I was aware of that as well.
