Subject:Corporate Intricacies
Security:Public
Mood:Apalled
Music:We Cry - The Script

When I graduated out of Engg. I had an option of a possible job in the Government. 
To be that Someone... 
But with the past behind me, and the habit of looking back to know where I have come from,keeping  that in mind, I decided that having a bit of extra cash was of more para importance to me.
Chucked the plan of taking up the job in the Indian Defence Forces, and dreamt of climbing the corporate ladder.

I got my first job at India Infoline, and quit it before joining, got an MBA call from Niranjan Lal Dalmia, and chucked that too before the course began, joined Deutsche Bank AG.

With dreams in my eyes,  joined in with a lot of hope and enthusiasm, after a month I got my first taste of Corporate Intricacy, a colleague left within 2 days of joining, they promised her something and did exactly the opposite , in disgust she left. 

Life moved on, the Economic Recession began to take it's toll on everyone a lot of stuff happened, a lot of politics took place, people were shifted withing departments, favouritism et'll was seen first hand. The feeling of being left out felt, the feeling of being screwed experienced.
I have worked very Hard all this while, I have given results( topping the charts every now and then). What they wanted they got, rather easily, but then again who is here to do charity?

Paisa Fek Tamasha dekh.
Bhai, ek Haath lo, aur Ek haath do
.

The last six months of my life have shown me so many facets of this 'Salaried' life that I feel no matter what, who you become in the Corporate Hierarchy, you'll remain that NOTHING in life. The Keedas / Makodas is what you'll always be.
What's the value of your life?
What difference does it make to anyone, whether you live or not?
Life will move on, your salary will be credited monthly.
Even your 'closest peers' don't give a damn about your well being. They don't care about you. Your Line Manager, Vertical Head don't care much abut you, they care about themselves alone. They care about the Team, because, it is from the team, that they are taken care of.  

Shifting Focus, had I Joined the Services, my life would have Meaning, I would have had a 'Life' I could call one. I need not tell every friend, 'NM' everytime he/she asks, what's up? I could say, I'm contributing towards the well being of my nation , your nation, Our nation.
I am doing something different, agreed I don't have the Moolah, but who the hell needs the moolah?
When you can do virtually every basic thing to
 Lead a Life without having any cash in your pocket.
Agreed, you need some, but that much you get plus the added incentives in the form of an Extended Family, brotherhood, a listening ear, a watchful eye and a shoulder to put your arm around for life.

I salute movies like Lakshya. I appeal wholeheartedly, 'Corporate Life doesn't give you anything, it just TAKES TAKES TAKES and TAKES.
It gives you money, but TAKES your Life away, your integrity and in the end, even your respect, you remain the Keedha, the Makoda.'


Join the forces, add meaning to your existence.
Do that thing...

Subject:Captain Varun Chhibber ( 31st May 1981 - 2nd February 2009)
Security:Public
Mood: in Remembrance
Music:Ek Lau- Aamir

Today has been a Day I shall not forget.
I lost one of my idols in life.
Captain. Varun Chhibber died today in J&K. He was 27 and is survived by a Retired Colonel Father, Mother and a Naval Officer younger Brother.

In relation he was my Mama, but more of an elder brother to me.

On 18th September 2006, he gave me perhaps the greatest lesson I had ever learnt.

Varun Chhibber (9/18/2006 5:29:37 PM): Remember focus on what you want, and you will realise that you do not have to work hard everywhere. Just in places which will help you achieve your goals.

Mama as I fondly called him was a lively figure. Full of life, bubbling with energy. I still remember when I was 9 years old, he taught me how to play Battle Ship ( a strategic Naval game), brought me closer to the Punjabi Village culture (Nabha)....

I still remember how much he loved the 'Gupt '  soundtrack, remember travelling from Chanakyapuri in New Delhi to Noida by car, and listening to that particular number again and again....  

I remember watching Face Off with him... and how much he loved that flick in those days. 

Life went on, we shifted to Mumbai, he went to do his Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunications, joining the Indian Military Academy subsequently, passing out as a Topper in his own right, getting commsioned in the Corps of Signals also, reclaiming his long lost love for Parachutes. Went ahead with his courses in the Forces, topping them, becoming the blue eyed boy for many.

His wish was to join the Parachute Regiment of the Indian Army.
Alas! he could never do it not because he didn't Have it in him, but because of a prevailing Medical Condition.

Though he continued to work Hard and Smart. He even won the Chief of the Army Staff's commendation, given to the elite few. The elated parents were a beautiful sight.

His tenure in the far east was about to get over, next in line was a peace posting, but he again opted for a Field posting, the go getter that he was. Hence, was posted to J&K. 

He breathed his last today, was on his way back from a patrolling mission.

The country today lost an Outstanding Army Oficer, one who had a great future ahead.

The Blue Eyed Boy  : Varun Chhibber.

:'(

Very Fondly Remembered.

Subject:'Special One' Jose Mourinho---> Gone Just Like That
Security:Public
Music:Fool's Garden- Lemon Tree

'Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have agreed to part company today by mutual consent,' it said.
I was SHOCKED!
The statement, printed alongside an over sized image of the club's emblem, left many questions unanswered.
The official confirmation of Mourinho's departure followed a rash of media reports which had said senior players, including captain John Terry, had received text messages from their Portuguese manager informing them he was leaving. But what about 'US' the fans.. the people who adored him..  he just left Just Like That!

Although,

There has never been a coach in English soccer quite like Jose Mourinho, the self-styled 'special one.'
Brian Clough came closest. The former Derby County and Nottingham Forest manager was equally outspoken, single-minded and similarly possessed of a talent to win trophies -- he was just nowhere near as good-looking.

From the day Mourinho arrived at Chelsea from Porto in June 2004 the charismatic Portuguese infused his club with a sense of self-belief it had never truly possessed in almost 100 years of a fairly mundane and under-achieving existence.
Chelsea had been champions of England just once, in 1955. Their list of major honours was tiny compared to the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal.
Chelsea had won the FA Cup only three times, the League Cup twice and the defunct European Cup Winners Cup twice before Mourinho arrived.
Mourinho may have had the backing of Russian billionaire owner Roman Abramovich but previous Chelsea managers like Gianluca Vialli and Claudio Ranieri had also spent millions without achieving great success.
Mourinho's relationship with Abramovich became strained last season and the coach let it be known he was unhappy with certain appointments within his backroom staff.

They never won over the support of neutrals and at times Mourinho was vastly more entertaining in his pre and post-match comments than his team were on the field.

Still, he brought glamour and passion and was a breath of fresh air for the English game.

He built an incredible team spirit at Stamford Bridge with loyal men prepared to back him all the way and Chelsea will not be the same without him.

Whether they go back to being the also-rans they often were in the past or grow into one of the world's top clubs as they believe they are destined to become is now no longer Mourinho's concern.

The new man will have a tough act to follow.

Mr Jose Mourinho  ...  Standing Ovation!  Jose!

Mood: with a slight smile
Music:Orange Sky-Alexi Murdoch

They say there's a song for every occasion. I'd say there's a song for everything. There is a song which will make you cry,and go back to your roots. There is a song which will cheer you up and get you back with your loved one. There is even a song to get a Wonder into an Elite list of Wonders. There is practically a song for everything in this World. Why only Practically, even theoretically there is a Song for everything in this World.

Celebrate Life with Music and Lyrics, it's the best thing you can ever imagine. Sometimes i feel am wasting time (like thinking about certain things that are mere Fantasies) But that feeling never arises when I listen to  Music. You see Practically , yes i am wasting time. But then it is this very Music that refreshes me , gives me hope about that Rainbow in the Dark sky. makes me Realize my responsibilities, calms me soothes me, shapes my Dreams up...  and a whole lot of things, which I'm sure I and you share in common.

I listen to a lot of Spanish songs, i don't know Spanish, but the essence is on Music. It is that very essence that matters.
Throughout Civilization Music was, has and perhaps will be a Part of our journey through Life.

In our World today, Live 8 is such a Phenomenal Concert. One Message, Communicated through a Global language.
Simply because Music has no Language.

Light and love with Your kinda music  :-)

Security:Public
Mood: :-)
Music:Hips Don't Lie

When I was in school, I distinctly remember in my 8th standard Jennifer Lopez had come out with a new single ‘Waiting For Tonight’, I went CRAZY  for her!


 


That was in School, time passed by and and with time J.LO slowly faded away from my memory only to be replaced by a much more energetic, versatile and a PERFOMER Till the R.


 


When Jlo was on the decline, She was on the rise, her single Whenever Wherever  was an International Hit.


But she hadn’t ARRIVED yet… Slowly, but steadily she was Creating Waves….


And then came Underneath Your Clothes along with Many Latin American songs…


All (at least  a majority went on to become International hits.)


 


But the Icing on the cake was when her song was chosen as the Official FIFA World CUP soundtrack.


Hips Don’t Lie was , is a HUGE HIT and will remain Popular for TIMES to come. 

The Song took Shakira to places.. and i mean Places and how.......

Shakira on her Promotional World Tour for ORAL Fixation, Landed in Mumbai for the Only Performance on Asian Soil.
The concert scheduled for 25 March'2007 was stated to start at 1930 hrs.. and when it did... MAN O MAN.. it was Worth the Hours of Wait outside under the Hot sun... i hadread about Diva's earlier, i had Heard about them...

BUT then to experience a Diva is an altogether different experience. It's an experience which is to be felt in orf\der to understand the Magnitude and intensity of such an Exhilarating performance.

She Came and did what she flew down for... her Hardwork, and PERFECTION(even a mistake looked PERFECT  :P  ) Did pay up.... Afterall she did Capture our HEARTS!!!

I can't believe she Actually Meant it when she said that her hips Don't Lie..

Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll I Absolutely Adore you... BE MINE    :P

Music:Blaze of Glory- Bon Jovi

Yes.. Yes... Yes!!!    Finally My beliefs were shaken and i finally did cruise at 100 kph.  So what's so great about that, well am not a Pro Biker, but neither am i AMATEUR now!!  :P   Actually i always believed i couldn't touch 100 with my 125 cc Beauty, but i did!!! 
And guess what's the best part, i do it at 0100 hrs... the streets were empty and it was just me, my bike and a very good friend who in a very special way encouraged me to go reach that milestone!!! Actually he was on his own bike.. and we were having a Boy's nite out.. literally!!  
But MAN... that feeling when you'er zipping past by vehicles(there were not many though.. just two or three but zipping past though and watch them Dissappear ....    :-)
I always believed my bike would fade out beyond 80 kph, but no she had plans to prove me wrong, i Guess she was in just the ride mood  !! And was she in mood on the ride day at the right time!!   Although she did get a treat for that, she was thoroughly cleaned the following day, and is now sparkling...
It's been 6 months with this beauty now... and am still Discover-ing  New heights with here!!!

Sweetheart, Keep cruising with me on dat is.....  :-)
and thank you....  :-)

Subject:The most economical Pod
Security:Public
Mood: excited
Music:Junoon-Tara Jala

THE APPLE iPOD Shuffle
It's my favourite, i own a Nano 2gigs , but this new model really hooks me on...!!!! Better dan the Old Shuffle model, what's also exciting is the  New range on iPod Nano, far better than de older versions, Man, am i jealous or wat!!!

The world’s smallest digital music player and just US$79, the 1GB iPod shuffle lets you wear up to 240 songs(1) on your sleeve. Or your lapel. Or your belt. Clip on iPod shuffle and wear it as a badge of musical devotion.
Guy clipping iPod shuffle to his sleeve
One size fits all

You know what they say about good things and small packages. But when something 4.1 cm (1.62 inches) long and about 15 grams (half an ounce) holds up to 240 songs, “good” and “small” don’t quite cut it. Especially when you can listen to your music for up to 12 continuous hours.(2) In fact, iPod shuffle just may the biggest thing in small.
Ready to wear

Clip it to your coin pocket. Clip it to your bag. No matter where you clip your skip-free iPod shuffle, you’ll have instant access to music. And iPod shuffle’s anodised aluminium enclosure goes with absolutely everything. Put it on, turn it up, and turn some heads.
Sync to fit

The first step to wearing 240 songs on your iPod shuffle is downloading iTunes — free. Then you can download 99¢ songs from the iTunes Store or import music from your CDs. When it’s time to sync, plug the included dock into your Mac or PC’s USB port and transfer your music from iTunes just by docking iPod shuffle.

Remix and match

Got more than 240 songs in your iTunes library? No problem. Let iTunes autofill your iPod shuffle and get a new musical experience every time. Pop follows jazz. Rock follows rap. iPod shuffle loves to improvise. Take the Shuffle switch, for instance. Even if you’ve synced a particular playlist, you can shuffle songs with a flick.


1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less. Song capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128-Kbps AAC encoding; actual capacity varies by content.
2. Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.asia.apple.com/batteries for more information.

Ok... it's 15th September 2006 and it's 0800 hrs. and by God i have absolutely no clue to what God has in store for me in the next 22 hrs. My life will witness one of the best nites ever... it has been planned that my Mom & bro. would be leaving for ganapatipule with dada join dem at Ratnagiri.I had decided that i would not go because i had some work, back in Mumbai. It's 10:30 now i get ready to go to college by 1100 hrs am on the highway...enroute to college. Suddenly a brain wave hits me and suddenly even i wanna be a part of the gang to Ganapatipule. But wanted to do it in my own special way... so without tellin any body i go to college wind up de work dat i had, and head back home by now its 1330 hrs.. i reach home by 13:40 hrs...and Mom is shoutin at me for me being late coz she has a train to catch at 1445 hrs frm Thane. Ok , so they leave at 1345 hrs.. and in de next 5 mins. i hurriedly collect all de items dat thgt were necessary ...iPod, toothbrush,et'll pack em up...and left...(dat wud be de beginn of my special way)..it's 13 50 hrs now..am 5 mins behind Mom. I tght i'd catch up with dem..but as soon as i reach de bus stop i'm told a bus just left some 4-5 min back. I was like.. Man..... then waited for de next bus to come, but it was in no mood to undestand wat i was goin thru.. so it took it's own sweet time and came in round 14:30-45 hrs..
i hurriedly got in...Prayin to god dat de 14:45 waala train gets delayed sumhow.. by say half an hour or 45 mins. I reach Thane station by say 15:45 hrs and am in de line to collect my ticket , i ask de fellow commuter abt de 1445 wala train.. and am stunned to knw dat god actually did answer my prayers but not completely de train left sum 10 mins back. I was Like ...Man!!!.. again...( dat was de first indication of wat God had in store ...)
I inquire and find out dat der's a Passenegr at 1600 hrs and wud reach Ratnagiri by 0000 hrs. So i decide to take de plunge... and am board dat train
O did i tell yea de cash i was carryin...i had Rs 200( plus an ATM card u see Mom did'nt knw i was cumin too..) with me and by now i have already spent
some Rs 90( includes ticket 2 ratnagiri,Thane bus fare and a Bottle of bisleri..). I board the train again hopin i'll find Mom & bro on it...scan de whole train only to find the'er not there. I assume th'er on de 1445 waala train which is a superfast train and reaches ratnagiri by say 2100 hrs. It's approx. 1700 hrs by now...am surrounded by people frm Rural India.. all round me.. not dat de weren't touched by de Cellular revolution. But de startd imaginin my iPod 2 be a cell fone..:-) . It's 1800 hrs by now..am talkin to this guy who came in frm Panvel whos sittin with me he's one of de educated lots in de train and has completed his diploma , He incidentally knew bout de Pod. Enroute he tells me abt dis station Jite which he says was de stn Ajite in Swades. He says Shahrukh was onboard de same train as i was.. good..i told him.. Since i did'nt have a cell with me , i ask this fellow Gunjan if he cud lend me his fone and he says .. yes...provided u can reach the number....he had got his cell refilled alrite but he just cud'nt get thru to ne number only god only knws why.. mind u the connection was AIRTEL ( and i can rem der latest advt. aap jahan bhi ....)
Okie...post Pen( dats a place in de outskirts of mumbai)..the gang of boys (gunjan & folks) gets down and in cums Gunjan & GF..yes..de looked cute thou... he took my Pod and gave me his GF's cell to get in touch with my folks and let dem knw i was cumin by dis train coz i needed sum1 to pick me up at Ratnagiri. In case you wonderin why i didn't do that at Thane itself, firstly de moment i stepped on de platform de train had arrived and de rush to occupy de seats was On..!!! so didn't get time to call dem..

Neways i borrow Gunjans Gf cell.. send a msg to Mom..tellin her of my location...
the STORY STARTS NOW
Mom sends back a msg and explain dat she's at home plans had changed..and she returned half way from thane.
Time: 1930 hrs. i'm nearin Roha a station Gunjan tells me he's gettin off at. Mom tells cum back home..and i'm like Ok.. .. She's worried coz she knws I have no Finances to return back.
the scenario looks sumwhat like this i'm some 120 kms away from home. Am 15 kms away from the Mumbai-Goa National Highway... and i have Rs 110.
I get down at Roha, inquire with the station master what time the next train leaves Roha , he blunlty says 0500 hrs de next morning.It's 19:35 hrs approx. i decide to take the highway, now since i'm short on finance i decide to walk up...de path to the highway... i start off... initially a lil apprehensive coz it's Pitch dark ( it was clouded ) and due to the monsoon the grass on either side of the road was a good 15 ft tall. next song on de pod was Lakshya.. and i start off on my mission to reach Home. I reach Roha city in 15 mins. and on inquirin with the locals gather dat i mite get a lift to the highway...but dat mite... people were really good, u see de offered me Water & stuff, de inquired wat i was doin there i explained , they sighed , but , hardly realised dat i was craving for such an adventure, but, hardly did i reaslise dat de deal with such situation everyday, and de were actually sigh-in at my condition coz de thght we city people are used to easier things in life.
they smiled at me.. an aged man cums and tells me Don't worry beta sab theek ho jayega...i smiled and told him with yr blessings everythin will surely b alrite. i walk 10 mins and get a lift on a bicycle de guy was headin 2 de highway , he offered me a lift, MAN!!! de condition of de roads,sure was bad, Mira Road is nuthin in front of them. Darkness all round No street lights watsoever and i really felt de songs of Swades hittin me hard. Pitch dark...and dis guy was rididn as if he knew where we was headin not dat he didn't,... but he had got used to it. we were talkin nd i realise this guy is suffering from all kinds of problems as in he coughed pretty badly, and i cud bet he was sufferin many other ailments like Cholestrol, diabetes... he said kya kare babu jeena hain...apne liye nahin toh apne bachon ke liye...app abhi jawaan hon ek baar shadi ho jaaye toh pataa chalega... he emphasised a lot on his love for his Kids. it's 8: 35-45 and i cn see de highway near by, i sum how reach de bus stn( which exists virtually) and i understand dat a Bus to Thane just went sum 10 mins back. I meet this guy who incidentally is cumin from Ratnagiri,and is headed Mumbai. I also come across this lady whose headed to Mumbai and i presume she was a Christian coz she could talk in fluent English and referred to me as Son and de other man as Brother. The next bus to Mumbai was at 23:30 hrs is wat de shopkeepers nearby told me. By now am hungry vry hungry, i had not had Lunch, i had not much cash coz an ST bus ticket costs in excess of Rs 100 is wat i gathered to Mumbai. So havin somethin from de nearby stall was out of de question. sat round this tea stall talkin to this bunch of guys who were sittin at their Nukkad. they told me abt der life , and how de wished de cud njoi a city life and i tried to explain to them dat de grass was always greener on the other side. But de were in no mood to budge from their stand. Lights went out and suddenly de Highway was just another road. Completely Dark accept for de Cars with their headlites on... now i realised wat de meant frequnt power cuts..et'll
it was 2230 hrs wen de lites finally came on again.I decide to take a nap in de entrance of a shop which was now closed only to be woken up by a cow who sniffin my feet ...in rural India Cattle freely roam around at nite... de bunch to which dis belonged was standing nearby sleepin.. dis one was.. i guess earchin for food. Neways it was 23:18 .. and another 12 mins . wen i can expect a bus, in de mean time a truck walla cum s over and asks saheb lift pahije ...fakth 30 rs ..( only Rs 30 i can offer u a lift)i asked till where he said Panvel. in de mean time time de other guy headed 2 mumbai came over and told him No. nd explained to me dat dese people drive badly when drunk...and it's a risk i shd not take. I agreed..and we started chattin he was a chain smoker i cud gather every 15 mins a cigarette.. he started tellin me abt his days in college..Chinai college he was in...was a Regioal manager with some Tile company..it was 23:49 i rem wen we saw a bus approachin... we waved our hand..and it stoped it was enroute to Mumbai Central. I inquired udhar tak ka kitna lagega he replied Rs 145. and i said outta de question...i den got on with aticke upto Panvel coz i rem a lot of buses cumin 2wards Mumbai from there. The ticket had cost me Rs 50. And, i had another Rs 50 to reach home from Panvel. i reached Pnvel rounda bout at 0200 hrs. Mind u de iPod was supportin me well de cold breeze hittin my face at nite with a Good bunch of songs from U2,3 Doors down and red hot chilli pepper.. took me on a high.
On reachin Panvel i gathered the bus to thane was in another 30 mins. I sat round lookin at de activity at de Bus station...which was pretty shabby... 'pan' stains had der prsence evryhwere . It was stinkin also.. neways.. i moved to de stop where i cud get de bus to Thane. by now i had started 2 fell sleepy..but cud'nt.. at 0220 hrs de bus to thane came.. and i realise dat it wud cost me another Rs 25 to get to Thane.I then got in and for de first tie went off to sleep...at 03:10 hrs reach Thane stn. And am amazed to see de PAV Vada waala( bang opp the stn) still open, grabbed a Vada Pav .. coz i cud afford one now.. trust me Thane stn at nite is a heaven for the chuhas(mouse). Of all ages roamed around freely and with absolutely no fear...here and there they were evrywhere.
I got my Bus at 0435 and i was shit sleepy. the conductor took Rs Rs 12 for de journey... and got down at a rickshaw stand by now i had Rs 12 to get home. Took a rickshaw.. and wnt home... it was 0600 in de morning... and i was dead sleepy.. But m happy dis journey taught me and opened my eyes to a whole new world.. I loved every bit of i...

Somethings in life just have to happen. I was scheduled to leave for Ganapatipule today, everything was planned out, and in the morning just sat on the net to check some travelling details , met a Great Friend online and he tells me he's in Mumbai. I was shattered coz i saw the eventuality of not being able to meet him( he is undergoing training at a Defence establishment in the country...). It was one of those times when i was sad and yet excited...

And then a call changes my plans so suddenly dat i didn't even hav time to react.
Dad calls up and says that de plan is cancelled... and suddenly i have a smile and a sad feeling yet again...although for completely diff. reasons dis time..

Well , I'll first Talk about India & Pakistan( i'll start frm frm sumthin close to my heart) den Israel & palistinians..and den Israel Lebannon..den Israel & Iran.
India & pakistan hve been having dis Unspoken war since 1947 now. Mind you dis War is only between The two Governments , and , not the people of the Countries. they love eachother a lot...(the people i mean, it's an age old tradition just 60 years can't change i donno how many hundreds of years ka tradition).
So since the Two governments are taking on each other in so called public interest.... We Can attack Pakistan..and Win de War, Gone are the days when The Indian Army was a First Grade Army with second Grade Equipment ..it's a First Grade Army with First Grade Equipment now.
War with pakistan is'nt Feasible right now, coz we have a booming economy and no one wud like to hurt(except the Pakis) the rate at which it's Growing.Look at their Economy it's Stagnating... Future wars will be won over Economy!
I'm sure we can Win the War because look at them every time we talk of War they talk of Nuclear Bombs. I mean If America had to defend itself it cud have had Used Afghanistan as theire Nuclear Bombing Ground. But why kill Innocent Civilians unnecessarily..? So they simply attacked them with the latest weapons trying to hit the minimum number of Civilians.And they have done a Good job in doin so, considering the fact that the Terrorists were hiding in Public Places.
India Will Use the N-button but only when they'er forced to do so, dat is when they'er attacked by a similar attack.
and If we attack them back Nukin dem Pakistan won't exist on Google Earth Nemore..;-) although starting from J&K Upto Andhra Pradesh we might have devastation but then a Bomb of dat high a Magnitude needs Weapons or a huge Payload for a Missile..which pakistan does'nt have(they'er developin on it).
So u see We Can't attack them due to
1. Our RISING Economy
2. The US & the UN.
Yes US & UN...because we are still a developing country not like ISRAEL & US who can go to WAR without thinking about their Economies because they'er developed economies. But Depend Heavily on the UN Members For trade and Revenue(read: World Bank)

Comin Back To Israel Okie, they were ready to have a ceasefire with the Palestinians. It was Palestine which had attacked again first after the ceasefire.Israel told them to release their Soldier Immediately, gave them 4 days, they didn't, they asked for it! I sympathise with the palestinians thir people but Hams is'nt giving peace due respect. The'er not even willing to try.

Lebannon attacked Israel, and it is the right of every Country to defend it's Soil, it's People.... And the'er just defending their soil.
If India was to be attacked by say Bangladesh, Sorry to say but bangladeshis will have to pay.Innocent people will die. Theier Government should think twice before attacking our Country in the name of religion. We also practice their Religion after all.
Israel is right in attackin Lebannon. To Defend is the law of the Land.

Israel and Iran well they won't go head on with eachother. Israel is Not very bothered about them. But If Iran attacks them they Had it!!

In the End all i'll say is everything is fair in Love & WAR.
