murdering the language...

A recent comment on my 'personal blog' left me kinda perplexed....
This is what it said- "Congo gal"...

huh? i wonder why people say 'Congo' when there is a perfectly good word for it... Congratulations... how difficult is it to use the language the British taught us...

Over the years, the quality of English we use has rather degraded to a shameful level.. And we can't blame the American for fucking our language (if you know what i mean :P)...

'Tute' for tutorial
'comfy' for comfortable
and 'lappy' for laptop

Call 'it laptop' loser...!! How long does it take to say or write it??? ( just a couple of letters more.. I'm sure it takes ages to type).. Or how cool do you look when you take the essence away from a word and rape it.. :P

i personally use a lot abbreviations myself.. BTW, SOS, LOL, LMAO, or many more... But these still make little sense... Say L for laptop for, i'll pardon you.. but if you could type 5 alphabets.. but didn't care to type the whole word out.. trust you me.. It's a shame.. and you're a loser!!!

So i request keep the coolness with you,,,

warzone mumbai... 26-28th november...

I am writing this post with a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes and extreme sadness in my heart as the terror in Mumbai enters its 46th hour..

This is all iv been seeing from the last two days, flipping from one news channel to another... a series of highly unfortunate events unfolding in the financial capital of India one after another....
leaving almost 150 people dead and more than 350 injured..

What has our country become??? a mere banana republic... is it?

The NSG forces, mumbai police, navy commandos have been fighting the terrorists from the past two days...
We know it will be over in a few hours... when the last terrorist at The Taj dies...

But there are deeper issues that need to be addressed...
Who is to be blamed for all this?

The police? who were informed by foreign investigative services about a possible attack but did nothing..
The so called 'foreign hand'? (I'm not blaming any country or any religion here, cos' terrorist will continue to exist.. it is the country which makes the decision if they want to be vulnerable towards such attacks... 9/11 changed they way US dealt with terrorism.. and there has been no major terrorist attack ever since)

who?
who is to be blamed???

Its the government...
And I'm not just talking about the current UPA coalition.. I'm talking about all the parties. ALL
every damn minister on this land has failed to do anything about terrorism.
all they do is hold high level meetings, and call press conferences and 'POLITICISE' terrorism.. by blaming the government at centre...
They choose to indulge in blame-game rather than doing something about the intelligence agencies of our country or bringing about police reforms...

The politics of the leaders has failed the State... the nation.. the people...
(p.s L.K Advani gave out statements that the PM and he were supposed to come on the same flight to mumbai, and even looked a bit sympathetic with what had happened.. but just when i thought this event will bring the parties and leaders together, BJP came out with a huge quarter page anti-govt Ad in all major national dailies.. And this is exactly how they'v failed the country)

26th november 2008, a sad day in the history of this country..
As much as it sounds cliched... but it is still the 'mumbai spirit n Delhi soul' which keeps us going...
