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
http://en.shiapost.com/2013/08/31/uns-navi-pillay-worries-about-jihad-al-nikah/
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.....

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.

Sunday , Sep 15 2013
Wishing all Malus (Malayalam speaking people) A HAPPY ONAM 2013.
Cheers and Enjoy the Celebrations of OUR Great Dravidian Heritage honoring our ancient King.
The only one Festive celebration of Dravidian Heritage where no matter what religion we choose to practice Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist,,, just been the Malayalam speaking DRAVIDIANs, connects us thru this common heritage of ours.
Cheers to the next days of Celebrations leading to Thiru-Onam.
Peace and Prosperity to ALL.
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.???!!!

Aug 30 . God and Good
Friday, Aug 30 2013
.....Be Good, Do Good
What drives people in lower economic countries to give up on the basic needs, requirements of a human being to live with family and friends to RE-LOCATE to cold foreign counties for work.
The HOPE of providing better living conditions and future security for their family and the BIGGER Hope of been able to be part of that better conditions and happiness.
HOPE.
Thinking about it a bit more, there is also this factor, which goes on the lines of "Make Hay when the sun shines".
With all kinds of uncertainties thrown in, its just live how and make the hay as soon as possible before the sun goes down.
Something that other fellow living creatures also do. Bees, ants, Bears ,
Now looking for material to be able to talk for 5 to 7 mins at the club level “Humorous Speech Contest”.
I just want to get in there so that I have one more item ticked off my “bucket list”.
Self analyzing, it no longer seems to be the fear of been on stage, it’s the fear of not been able to deliver the message, because of not having put in enough effort to prepare for the message.
Another bucket list item that seems to be nagging me. To go for US football game , more so a NFL game, the icing on the cake would be to go for a Super Bowl game with someone wonderful, and loving and who loves me.
Someone who is just happy been with me and doing stuff together.
... Love LOVE, LOVE, LOVE :)

Aug 28 2013 Syria.
Wednesday Aug 28 2013
How do we know that its the Syrian govt that did the chemical attack? Given the fact that the middle east govts know the whole world is watching them.
And two countries were smacked (Iraq and Afghan) on lesser grounds.
Does not look like they would try to attempt that. More like a possibility of other vested interests..... my money is on the British Govts. under the radar techniques.... No wonder they were in a HURRY to initiate counter attack process. Much too fast for a slow acting and reacting mentality [UK govt]. Its like they already knew it was coming and were already in place with bills in their parliament..... Hopefully the US govt and people do not get dragged into the chaos and fighting.
Let us not forget the country (UK) and people who have a legacy of over 600 years in creating rifts between groups and countries all over the world.. sowing seeds of hatred at every possible opportunity and profiting from the fighting... examples of their legacy,,, India/Pakistan, Iraq/Kuwait, Israel/ Palestine .....
Hope the world wakes up to their crooked political strategies and become more peaceful....
