Everything in time... eventually

In my life I have learnt not to fret about anything really... I have seen that all things that I wish for eventually does come to pass.

But there is a catch.

Honesty in the scam

Ban Ki Moon wrote to me recently.

(Let me just say that even if you know only ONE Ban Ki Moon, you know exactly who I am talking about...)

Anyway, as I was saying... Ban Ki Moon wrote to me in an email informing me that the assembly has had meetings for the past 3 months and it has been decided that United Nations has agreed to compensate “all the people that have been scammed (through dubious emails, no less) in any part of the world.”

Lynchin' and be heard

There is much commonality at the core between the current riots in London and a incident of mob violence that occurred in Noakhali, Bangladesh.

True the extent of damages and the fatalities in the UK are much graver than that in Bangladesh – which left only one person dead. However, both incidents pay homage to the atrocities of police indifference and a long marginalised and under served populace.

The incident in Noakhali where a young man, labeled a 'robber' by the police, was dragged out of the police van by the police themselves to allow for mob justice (while they watched from the sidelines), seems little more than mindless violence and a increasingly recurring moment that shows that there is a very thin line between the humane and and the brutal.
