Seeing Things

Situated on the right is a poll that I am conducting, purely out of personal curiosity. Please be honest. In any case, I won't know who selected what. I will only know the percentage of people that select the various options. Thanks for helping. After voting, you can find more such cat-related idioms and find their meanings here. Enjoy!

Forty years have passed since that historic event. Made me think of this song by R.E.M. Had never really paid attention to the rest of the lyrics. All that got registered was this line: "if you believe, they put a man on the moon" I had only heard the song at pubs and discos. The radio perhaps. So today I decided to listen to it properly on Youtube. I found this video which aptly has clips of man first setting foot on the moon. I also read up the lyrics but honestly failed to understand it. I just get this line and think it's a lovely line. However, I read about the song on wikipedia and chanced upon some interesting facts about what the song really means. You too can read about it here. Meanwhile, enjoy the song!

It's alarming, how ABVP, the student wing of the BJP go on carrying out criminal offenses and then get let off, free of charge. I wanted to specifically read about the latest case in which 6 ABVP students were "let off" free of charge, 3 years after they were caught on camera, beating up this old man. i was surprised to come across a whole page of news items in which ABVP activists were "later let off". The nation saw what happened on TV with regard to the murder of this Professor. But like Varun Gandhi's recent hate speech, that video too might have been doctored. However these expert video-doctors were not able to 'doctor' some evidence to be able to have these students punished. Sure they were let off. But that does not change the truth. The truth is well known to the judge who said "the prosecution failed miserably". The truth is not hidden from the general public worldwide. I hope the BJP soon realises that 'divisive politics'...
