A Witty look at Society, in particular US of A

Boston Legal a series beemed to us by Star networks recently came to a close. I loved these bunch of lawyers created by David E Kelly who had earlier produced "Ally McBeal" and "The Practice" very much.

Although most of the precedents were sexist, I always found the cases that were tried out very imaginative. And some of the statistics which poured out were not at all fictional. Eg: How Medical Practicioners in the Army are disallowed from any malpractices...how big Pharmaceutical companies and Oil majors are funding research in collegues and getting their openions validated. How China's one child policy is causing female infanticide. Military recruiting from the poor neighbourhoods of US.
All such grim realities does make one wonder about the grime that humanity has become.

3G Myth busted!!

Well since our govt is still deliberating over security and other issues to hide their incompetence, this video by Nokia Siemens is worth their time!! Touche!!

Saffronising Homes

This seems to be a new way of wearing the batch of religion I guess. Makarsankrati 2010 saw this flag fluttering from the bungalow I stay in. Interestingly, this area is under a BJP MLA. But what freaks one out is the fact that now they too know that the occupants are all Hindus. I checked out other homes which had similar contraptions and realised that we are systematically dividing ourselves based on caste and religion, and might there be a reason for enthic clensing....this would be used effectively! Albeit I do appriciate the development work that is slowly but surely happening, but as a nation we seem to have lost the sense of pride that was perhaps experienced a long time ago!
