The moment my car lands on the office campus, the security will pounce on me. They use the mirrors to check the underbelly, they check the boot and check my id. They say its for my security. Checking id prevents unauthorized access and gear the company to fight terrorism.

Today I saw a stray dog in the campus. My question to them, did the dog produce the ID card at the gate? Was he/she/it also strip searched?

Each day I hear stories of bundles of forged currency notes being confiscated. My question why take the pain. If you really want to make money, then don’t print currency notes, instead print Gift Coupons, print Sodexho.

Logic

: Unlike most currency notes, these coupons have little or no hidden security measures. Printing them is rather simple, and merchants are virtually unaware of how to differentiate real from fake. Some high end gift coupons do have a hologram, but who looks at it. An cashier is too busy to even give it a second look.

Most interesting aspect is that the issuing company (esp. Sodexho) cannot deny reimbursement a merchant who hands them a fake coupon. If a merchant feels he is duped, he will stop accepting these coupons. This might start a spiraling effect of the whole city not accepting Sodexho. To prevent bad name, Sodexho will continue to accept the forged coupons and bear the losses.

You donot believe me, look at Telgi case. Government know that a large percentage of the land documents are on forged Stamp Paper, yet the Supreme Court has ordered the government to honor such agreements.

The beauty of modern wars is that it is not fought for traditional monetary or imperialistic gains, but to consolidate leadership. Look at Iraq war, Kargil war, or Israel war. Both sides proclaimed victory and leaders gain popularity.

Dictators and incompetent leaders use wars to stop people from questioning their competency, asking for basic necessities like food, water and roads.

Hence we have come to an era where wars are used to arouse nationalistic feelings, unite ones own people and curb domestic opposition.

I have had countless guy friends, and but on no occasion I had to tell them “I do not want to see you anymore!” Like a guy’s positronic mind all his relations are on a continuous radio-active decay path. Without any reinforcements/upgrades they deteriorate naturally. If I do not like someone, I will ignore him on a couple of occasions and the message gets across automatically. It’s a well defined spec, a protocol which prevents us to use of harsh words. Breaking up is like firing someone for the job of being a part of your life. And nobody wants to be a hatchet-man.

How wonderful it would be if someone could implement “Out of sight, Out of mind!” protocol in females.

Sometimes you end up in a relationship because “you are afraid of admitting the problem, and are too scared to walk away.”
