Woolmer, Benazir, … who’s next?


As in the case of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer, the assassination of opposition party leader Benazir is the source of fiesta for news channels these days. I won’t be surprised if this investigation also don’t reach anywhere like in the case of the “murder” of woolmer.
The explanation being given by the Pakistan government has been pathetically silly and is changing as the Bangalore climate. It may well be done by the Terrorist group, even though they deny it fearing the public support, or can be done by other parties or by the General himself. What ever be the case, the chances of truth being revealed is slim and Pakistan will continue to be the safe haven for anti-social, anti-human activists.

They started infiltrating India soon after we got independence when Kashmir was not part of India and was ruled by a King. When he realized the danger, he asked the help of India and in return joined Kashmir with Indian Territory. The debate is still on and it’s a pity people die in thousands every year because of somebody’s personal interest on Kashmir.

Let us hope 2008 will bring less bloodshed and people realize the value of human life and learn to respect other’s feelings and emotions. Let 2008 be a prosperous, peaceful year when nations unite for a common cause for the betterment of the world we live in. Let’s stop waiting and do something before its too late.

Wishing all my friends a happy new year!

Thomson Dayout!

So finally as the holiday season is fast approaching, our Thomson management decided to give the employees their due fun and entertainment. So they booked a cozy resort on the outskirts of Bangalore and even arranged a live concert by the Indian Idols

Last Saturday 15th December, we the 1000+ employees of Thomson went to Golden Palm resort to have fun, fun and fun only... and it was indeed a great fun. We had a "Pancha vadyam" welcoming us and setting the mood right, followed by performances by our colleagues and proffesional dance groups.

After the performances and price distribution it was time for some drinks and the bottles kept coming as we went first dizy and crazy - thanks to Foster Beer. :) Then we decided to go to the pool to try some water sport and some cold water indeed helped us to regain our conciouseness :)

Then we joined our Beloved Indian Idols... for a rocking session and boy it was pure pun unlimitted... we danced till our legs couldn't take anymore. Finally we boarded our buses back to office and from there home... for a tiring but eventful day's sleep ....

Here goes the snaps for them....
