Can someone please ask VHP to visit Mathura?

Lord Ram owes his fame to Wahid in Sangam city
The media in this country is not in the habit of giving prominence to any news that would promote peace and brotherhood between Hindus and Muslims. But I am determined to post even tiniest of such examples on this blog in order to do my tiny bit for my country. Check this out - Lord Ram owes his fame to Wahid in Sangam city.
If you come across similar news, please feel free to send me the links. :-)

Hey Ram!
Here we go again. Now VHP is saying that it will settle for nothing short of the 67-acre plot of land at Ayodhya. Even if Lord Rama were to Himself materialize in front of these people and insist that He does not need any grand temple, I am sure they will tell him that he doesn't understand a thing about Kalyug and should therefore keep quiet. It's a sorry state of affairs that these people think they represent the religion that preaches peace and humility. :-(
It must have taken nerves of steel to watch the final moments of the India-Australia Test match yesterday. Hats off to those who managed it! India has had a rich history of cricket teams losing the match by whiskers. Anyone could have been forgiven for assuming that history would repeat itself this time too. But thanks to VVS Laxman and Ishant Sharma, we managed to pull off a victory. Hats off to you guys!

Frankly, I didn't have it in me to watch the whole 3 hour launch of Bigg Boss 4. So I managed to peep in two or three times.
One of the occasions was when that Veena Malik walked in. On another occasion, I saw Rakhi Sawant and promptly changed the channel (Watching Rakhi and Salman together would have given me acidity before going to bed and nightmares afterwards!).
When I ended up on that channel for the last time, I think all 14 people were in place at Big Boss's home. But apart from Malik, I was able to recognize only Ashmit Patel, Sweta Tiwari and Samir Soni. Looking at some of the contestants (that Begum for example!) I wondered, albeit for a brief moment, if I have landed onto some reality show on a Pakistani channel (Talk of parallel worlds bumping into each other!)
I had to check out their official website the following day to figure out who the rest of the people are. God help them and all the viewers who will tune in to this madhouse for 3 months! :-)

So the games have finally begun. So far so good! But yesterday there was a very irritating message flashing on, I think, Times Now. 'Should corruption be exonerated?' it read. I don't know what this means. I don't even know why we need to ask this question when the answer rings very loud and clear - "NO". What is this? A Karan Johar movie - where all is well that ends well? :-(
I am always amazed by the kind of messages that are posted on the alumni network of my B School. Just today morning, I finally managed to log in to a mailbox full of week's worth of messages. There were usual mails about someone wanting to rent their property, someone wanting an apartment on rent, people wanting to sell or buy cars. Then there were mails for vacancies in companies and resumes of friends.
Of course, there were a few interesting ones like someone wanting a report on health-care facilities in Mongolia. Huh? If you give me a map of the globe, I will not be able to tell you where this country is located (Geography was not my claim to fame, ever!) and there are people interested in knowing about their health-care facilities? If this ain't amazing, I don't know what is.
Then there was someone looking for interventional specialists (radiologists and cardiologists). I had to run to Google for understanding what this means. :-)
I had a brief moment when I envied these people for working in fields which are so different from mine. But the next moment, I felt very proud to be a part of such diverse and rich alumni base, though I am just plain old IT :-)
