Karma ?

I wanted to write about this earlier, but Sharon Stone beat me to it. She commented about Chinese treatments of Tibetans and Earthquake was probably a bad Karma.

Irony

Those babies born in the years Mahathir took power (1981 onwards), now voted his ideology out of office.

A stark parallel to Nicolae Ceauşescu story. in 1966, he started a policy on abortion ban .Those babies born after that policy was enforced grown up to be young men that took the street and led to his overthrown in 1989. (Credit to Freakonomics, Steven Levitt)

Debate

Recently, I debated someone by the name Kazi Mahmood and wrote a blog about it. Somehow the debate went on further after I left and turned somewhat ugly too.

Read all about it here.

Read the last few comments and reply by Langolier and Kazi,

I was quite shocked at Kazi’s name calling reply . Commentators can be quite unbecoming at times, but for Host (editorial) to go to that extent of name calling is quite ….

I am speechless.

Guest

Sometime ago, a friend wrote me two short articles. I posted in “GUEST” Page. I have decided to move it out here because visitors mistaken that page as Guest Book.

Now I rename it to Feedback, changed the Banner a bit. I Removed “Moderation requirement” – no censorship but I will edit grammar errors.
