The Observation Engine

Can Love Happen Twice? by Ravinder Singh My rating: 2 of 5 stars To be frank I am really dis-appointed with this book. The enthu that was building inside me to read the book as soon as it comes out has evaporated. Every thing (Honesty, emotion, realism, punches, LOVE) that was present in the first book is completely missing this time. View all my reviews

There are few things which I am really ashamed of our country, Judiciary being one of them. There are endless examples to support my statement latest being SC giving stay order on hanging of ******* terrorist kasab. This is so so pathetic from the highest authority meant for serving justice to all. I know that I am not a legal expert knowing the small details as how things run in courts. Still as a common man I find the reason (being brainwashed & working as a robot on orders) behind the stay order as a lame excuse. Comeon how can we keep on dragging things for a man who killed 166 innocent indians (mumbai terror attack on 26/11), staged war against our country. Its been 3 years and he is enjoying the loopholes in our system with changing statements and playing with posibilities. When I look upto other countries, prominent few are so much efficient in handling crime & criminals which leaves a BIG question in my mind as to why are we this much bad in protecting our own people....

The protest across the nation is at it's peak since Anna Hazare has started camping at Ramlila Ground, New Delhi. I am whole heatedly supporting the cause because I feel that if it has to start from somewhere why not here. I do agree that CHANGE not a matter of magic click but initiation is what actually is required and this is the right time. We all have been part of corruption either on this side of the table or that side of the table. So let us all awaken and lets contribute, GOOD TIME is lying ahead for us or for the next generation. I participated in the procession from India Gate to Ramlila Ground yesterday and believe me guys the atmosphere was euphoric. Being a part of it was amazing, every were it was positive & patriotic vibe. The fight against corrupt system is not going to end by being a part of one single rally. Its a long way ahead and I am ready to take the path. JAI HIND Few Observations: 1. Nobody was busy checking out girls, which usually is a g...

15th August is the day every year when India, the country with 1.2 billion people celebrates its Independence Day. Along with all these, Google also does a lil Doodle for us. This year its a "Google" text written on the Red Fort located in New Delhi. This day, our country became Independent. Many Twitter and Facebook users will change their Profile Pictures entirely to the Indian Flag or by adding a ribbon to their pics. This is the day dedicated to our Freedom Fighters and to the Army, Navy, Air Force who have always kept us secured and have lived and died for us. We cannot re-pay them back, its not a favor, its something that can't be done by everyone, only heroes can do it and those at the borders, are the real heroes. A Salute to all the Soldiers, Freedom Fighters and everyone who has saved our lives directly or indirectly. We owe them the Happiness, Support, Love and our Lives. Well, I wish everyone reading this entry and to everyone you know, A Happy Independenc...

It was certainly a NEWS when SnP downgraded the Rating of US from AAA to AA+. Something symbolizing like USA loosing its A. What is to be observed next is to see the effect of it on the other economies, specially the growing economies. India amongst them is already showing its reaction (-vely) since friday. Sensex has plunged for the 2 consecutive days. There is a selling pressure from the Institutional Investors or the FIIs which is creating panic. But its better to hold on the cliff and let the wind of uncertainty pass. In simpler terms I am going to HOLD ON my portfolio and will not give into the selling pressure. I would advise others to do the same. What I feel personally is that these are just the bubble effect which is going to subsidize very soon. Indian economy is strong enough and self-reliant to absorb the shock that is doing around the globe at the moment.

My current handset these days is "SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE". It is the 2nd smartphone for me (earlier I have used a Nokia 6270 in 2006). Feature wise its the best phone on android platform in the range of 13K-15K. It comes with a 5 MP camera(with flash), inbuilt GPS, android 2.2, 800MHz processor, 3.5" display, gorilla glass display, Multi-touch input. I have been enjoying the various apps preloaded plus installed by me on the phone. But I came across its real potential yesterday when I got a chance to use its GPS and google map. I had to go to a very peculiar place in West Delhi where I have never been before to. I tried calling few friends of mine who live in West Delhi but that was of no help. Then the idea of using the phone clicked to me and I feeded my destination in the phone. BANG, I got the route with landmarks & directions and I was there within an hour. So its not wise to say that phones are meant only to make n take calls. It can be useful as above al...

As I have started writing this post, fortune of two teams are changing in European sub-continent side by side. Being an avid cricket lover (Jingoism involved), I was expecting a good contest in this second test match. I knew that there will be some rigidness in the first match as per the conditions & preparation, so the outcome didn't affected me a lot. I was pretty much positive about the turnaround for Team India in this second Test Match. And there were glimpses of the same at least till the end of 2nd day's play. India was on top, England was to lose this match. But unexpectedly I am now writing about India's loss. Not only the match but also the honor being of rank 1. England has with lots of effort used the "Trent Bridge" to climb to position 1 and throw the undeserved from there. Yes Dhoni and his team no more deserve the rank 1 in Test Versions of the play. Its crystal clear that India has played pathetically till now, there are no batsman to pile up ...

I had applied for a new passport finally in April'2011 after constant nagging by my dad since last 7-8 months. Since I had an earlier affair with the dept. while getting my sis's passport done 1.5 years back, I thought it would not be that much an issue. The only difference was that her's was made in tatkal quota (got in mere 8 days) and mine was applied through normal channel. Picking up tips from some friends I knew mine would take 5-6 weeks. But that was MY THOUGHT, a thought against govt's/system's/passport official's thought. The first week of august will be 4 month anniversary of my application. Only silver line is that its really in process which I have tracking through their website. The speed of all this getting done is really pathetic.

I guess its been a year that I have contributed on this page(BTW its not like that that I was writing a lot earlier also). But I am giving myself a second chance to start all over again. Wish me luck!!!
