By what estimate do our leaders claim that India will become a developed nation in the next two decades? Why even set such a lofty goal when we can't get over debating mythology.

A big tsunami will just do it. Cleansing and starting over is probably our only chance in India.

India and China should also stop working with the military Junta in Burma. The Chinese are crooked enough to continue supporting the junta, they wouldnt want a new democracy created in their neigborhood, then their own people will start getting ideas.

The Indians probably care only about the money that comes out of that country, its blood money if we continue to trade with their evil government.

It will be great to see the burmese people succeed.

* Start my own business
* Adopt a village
* Travel to all the continents, except the frozen one.
* Watch a Wimbledon final (preferably with Federer in it)
* Watch a world cup soccer match (one with Brazil in it)
* See the game of cricket die in India
* See all the corrupt useless Indian politicians get a public flogging (stoning would be extreme)

There are probably more things I want to do, will add them as I think of them.

Karma is for real, all the naysayers watch out! You will pay for your naysaying.

Karma is often an abused concept. Generations before us and the old people who are still lingering on this planet use karma to scare people and mix up god, religion and superstitions with Karma. Karma at best (I think) should be explained somehow by meta-physics.

Karma is sort of a natural balance built into the system. If one screws up, he or she will pay at some point in time to keep the balance of bad and good. Equilibrium is the end goal of everything that goes on in this universe and karma makes sure that this equilibrium is maintained. There is no god or religion needed to explain this equilibrium, its simply a natural state.

You use too much fossil fuels, you will pay eventually or your children will pay. You go to war, you or your citizens will pay for this later. You kick a dog on the street for no reason, you will pay. You help someone cross the road, you may get paid in kind or atleast your "shit wont happen to you equation" will have a slight tilt favoring you.

I hope my postings here will get me some good karma or NOT!

Our generation (the 20s and the 30s) will cease to be mute spectators in a few decades and a new set of politicians from our own generation will emerge to form the new group of incompetent monkeys and the then younger generation will be watching this incorrigible spectacle from the outside. We in India will never change and be stuck in this cesspool and the deliverance is emigration, callousness or death. I wish I can make a difference, but will cowardly admit that I cannot and the best I can do is rant here.

The good people and the progressive thinkers in India will continue to create islands of prosperity, kudos to them. But at a macro level their impact will diminish or stagnate. The population growth and the exodus of our creamy layer will continue to weaken us and the dregs that want to get into politics will do so and keep this alarmingly broken and woeful system of crapocracy alive and kicking.

I want to barf on the BJP politicos heads and leave my barf drying on Advani's head until he croaks.

This concept of selling a product to make a person"s skin (only the face) lighter is ridiculous. I would probably accept a sunblock product but not something that would make you fair, white or light. These products supposedly will get you better opportunities in life and the ads also suggest that one can get lucky with the "fairer" sex. The guys" version of the product and the ad are ridiculous. What are these brand managers and ad people smoking? Is the Indian male really this vain and insecure that he has to use a skin lightener to succeed.The women are certainly targeted even more aggresively and the ad blatantly conveys a message of inferiority to the women of a darker skin tone.
I also heard that these products are pushed even more aggresively down south where there are more darker skinned people.
News Flash: The fairness creams cannot make a pitch black skin tone any lighter. Be happy with who you are!!! and for the guys, a piece of advice; the darker guys get laid more often, so say no to fairness creams.

Its worrisome that am not serious about a lot of things, I even thought of a term for my condition/disease/malaise - Maturation Saturation. With my current debilitation, am not able to continue the process of personal evolution and am stuck with the body of an unhealthy man and the mind of a teenager(Maybe. I dont know what teens do nowadays). I am for the most part comfortable with my silly and simplistic thoughts, but certainly would like to move on and start being bossy with the younger folk. I certainly would like to start using phrases like "When I was a kid, I did this, that etc" or "In those days, I used to walk 10 miles to go to school" and also "Thumbs up was a better cola than what you guys drink nowadays"

If there are other fellow debilitated males or females who seem to be stuck, let me know how and when this condition will pass over.

Don't get me wrong, by no means am I retarded or mentally challenged (I haven't seen a psychiatrist about this, this is merely an assumption that I am not).

PS: I touched my feet today, but the knees were bent quite a bit.

Another bummery squelcher am planning on is a daily walk. I doubt it will be daily though.

On the chores front, I have decided to do more laundry and then go from there. I am not sure if the quality of my choring will be good though, but have to keep trying to unbum myself.
