Dear PM !

Dear Dr. Manmohan Singh,
As you must be aware there was an incident in a city called Mumbai, where several people were killed. Nothing special, I agree. These days there are one or more bomb blasts happening around.
I also know that you are a very busy man and have numerous meetings everywhere.
But i really have a problem and I do not have an answer to that question, thought I would tell you !

At this moment- these terrorists have created havoc in Mumbai, my city. People died like mosquitos. Many brave policemen lost their lives. Amongst dead were elite, less and lesser elite, and ofcourse the beloved target of terrorists- the common masses!

I know, Government, police force etc. are unable to protect common people like me. Ofcourse there are many important ministers, actors, businessmen to be protected with Z+ security.
So there are generally not many left to protect people like me!

My question is - "How do I protect myself and my family?"
I cannot kill anyone nor have I taken any NCC traning. Say a terrorist approaches me- What am I supposed to do?
Logic tells me that this situation should have been prevented in first place. How can a terrorist enter my city and threaten me at a gun(that too a semi-autometic)point?
So I consider that as a life threatening situation.
I say this, because when I leave my home each day- a bomb can explode, terror can strike from all 360 degrees. Trains, officeplace, theatres, railway stations - everywhere I am alert these days.
Anyways, that's not very important- at max I might get killed.
Even if that happens, please answer my question in public. Someone else might be able take necessary measures.

tuely,
Not at all important who!


PS - Could you please tell me a good place where I can get an AK-47, preferably at discount rate?

The Idiot - By Dostoyevsky

Few man can portray human beings like Dostoevsky does. He's the master of masters.
Even the great Einstein had once said, "Dostoevsky gives me more than any scientist, more than Gauss".

"The Idiot", often considered as one of the greatest work of Dostoevsky, proves this-and how!
The master portrays truly amazing image of a man whom they all call an Idiot.

Dostoevsky's motives for writing The Idiot stem from his desire to depict the "positively good man"- Prince Myshkin.
By making Myshkin a paragon of kindness and humility, Dostoyevsky shows what can happen when such a man is confronted by society. Myshkin frequently confronts society's norms with his "idiocy", which is merely his apparently naive approach to life. However, it is merely a search for truth in human relationships, he is not naive about what others say to him and about him, he merely assumes they're true because human beings should have no need for falsehood. The prince frequently faces various social turmoils throughout the novel, petty arguments and ridiculous assumptions. Unfortunately, the "idiot" cannot save himself from society and fails in the end. [description from wikipedia]

Myshkin is indeed one of the most beloved and truest character in literature. A child at heart, naive and ever kind - closer to being a saint.

I wish we had a few Myshkins amongst us right now, amidst all the hatred littered all along.....

Bead & the Bea(r)d

I was going through my photo album when a particular photo attracted my attention.

<--This, I realized is indeed a special photo!

A tiny drop of an unknown source of liquid object sharply entangled into a thick and dense clot of beard. Beautiful as a bead !
well, Look closer and you might even find the image of photographer captured inside the "bead".


The model for above photo is undisclosed and protected by the same thick dense hair!
I am thinking of sending this for Pulitzer prize .....
