Bin laden......

The US Navy Seals who staged the spectacular mission "GERONIMO" to capture or kill Bin Laden, are well euglised in the many movies we have seen, But to see it staged in real time proves the capability of this force.( but why did it take 9 to 10 years for the world's most powerful country?)

Of course we have had a couple of missions like the Israelis staging a mission at Entebbe, where they even had a duplicate Idi Amin with them

In the Indian forces too, we have well trained commandos who could stage a similar attack, but do the political bosses have the guts? that's a different story.......

The top Brass in the forces too shouldnt have shot of their mouths, even when such a mission could be done.

US has given billions to the Pakistanis and could get away with such an attack.

But any such venture by India could only lead to war between the two countries.

My First Car

I still remember the first car I bought. It was in the late 80's in Hyderabad.Owning a car in those days was a sign of arrival, especially if the company helped you buy it, which was based on merit.

The company magnanimously gave me a loan of Rs. 35000/- In a wide ranging search in the market, i finally came upon a powder blue Fiat, which was I gathered a third hand car. Not knowing much about cars , i went and bought it in good faith. Later I realised that some portions of the floor it was rusted and showed signs of advance decay.

But then it was my first car. With a lot of fanfare the car was taken for the Puja along with my team tagging along to the Hanuman temple at Kharkhana. It was a memorable day.

That car gave us immense pleasure as we rode around the town,and probably for the first and last time took my parents around in the car when they visited us.

Subsequently through the years I owned many cars, but none has given me the pleasure of my first car.

Sasha baby

When I saw you come into this world, you simply looked around, without any crying and looked at the wonder that is the world.

Ten months later when i first saw you at the airport, you simply smiled at me and blew me away. Every day when i spend time with you as you play, and sometimes do things with an intelligence beyond your ten months, I look in awe and love.

You have a smile for everyone, but a lovely smile for me and come willingly into my arms.

The beauty and innocence of your being is a proof that God still loves us ,and has given you to us.

Sasha Baby I love you & am proud of being your Grandfather.
