Saturday Sep 28 2013

Went out for a good 5 mile run.
Had gone to sleep on a friday night early. No night out partying. :)
Felt good waking up and went out for a run.

In between had a much better conversation with dad.

moms back to playing politics as usual.
Well some human characteristics can never be changed.

Sep 22 Religion not to Blame

Sunday, Sep 22 2013

Many people tend to blame religion for this and label the whole religion with negativity.

I don't think the religion is to be blamed for that, its just that people with vested interests, always twist facts  and manipulate other people into believing and doing atrocious acts.

For that matter of fact, the WMD (weapons of Mass destruction) story was used by all the so said League of  Developed countries to gang up and send their innocent soldiers to invade IRAQ, and look what it has resulted in. :: http://www.iraqbodycount.org/

Its so easy to point fingers at other religions and label them all. The for that matter of fact, then going by popular labels,,,, we would have:
 brown men do not respect women,
black men are cannibals,
 Hispanics are drug peddlers,
white people are Pedophiles,  ....

But we all know that the actions of a few 'bad apples' do not reflect the true image of the society they have been linked to.

And now the latest,,, so said Syrian (conveniently Labeled ""Rebels"" by the Western Media / PEOPLE in this case and not named as Terrorists), seemed to be the ones to be getting sympathies. Had it not been for this article, no one would have known how sick minded and twisted these (their leaders) are.

And now I feel more sympathetic towards Assad and what he is fighting against. Also explains why the other Conservative countries in the middle east are against Assad regime.....

Sep 20 Opportunity to Change

Friday, Sep 20 2013

Over heard at Toastmasters : When you get the opportunity to give a speech, you have an opportunity to change someones life.

My Take : When you have an opportunity to Express ( Facebook, art, speech, poetry, blogging, writing, singing, dancing,,,,) you have an Opportunity To Change someones LIFE.

Went for the toastmaster inter club contest in neighboring area, it was great seeing and hearing some great speeches by pros of 10 and 20 years, our area has it next week, volunteered for the role of timer. 

After that it was a laid back day, which started with the idlies and chutney,  work on the a bit of grocerry shopping. gas for the car on the way back.
Had the Hyderabadi Chicken biriyani that I had brought as take out yesterday... yummmm... 

was not able to sleep for the days following the speech... kind of wondering whats happening. 
 I am still high on the adrenaline that I got pumped up on after the speech. Too excited to go to sleep at night.

Have to find a balance tonite. So should I go out to the new salsa place close by or sit out at home and watch the NFL games!!?? 
What about the running, did not get any done since sep8.???!!!
