Broken News

      




In the Main News today ...Ron Artest,the LA Lakers player infamous in the past for the Pacers–Pistons brawl (he was suspended for 86 games for that.Oh well ..Nothing major... He punched couple of fans..happens ! ) legally changed his name to Metta World Peace .Now,that means Lakers will be selling jerseys with "World Peace" written at the back.What a genius ! Artest uses the no 37 as a tribute for MJ('Thriller' was at No. 1 on the charts for 37 straight weeks).

Elsewhere, Floyd Mayweather aka 'Kentucky Floyd Chicken'  had an altercation at the weigh ins for the fight with Victor Ortiz tonight.Boring!!!!!  Boxing is a  sport people are losing interest in .The only fight which is of any interest to anyone is the Superfight  between Floyd and Manny "Pacman"  Pacquiao. There is a very slim chance that Floyd will take that fight.

                                                                                                      

In Local News sorry World News..Sorry ..Intergalactic News... Super Star Rajnikanth is doing a guest appearance in RA ONE !  Meaning twice the revenue for the movie now .

And finally, In India the petrol price has gone up again . Efforts are being made to make it Rs 100 /-  by the end of the year.On monday, in Kerala this auspicious occasion will be celebrated as a 'Harthal'.Festivities may include  blocking the roads ,stone pelting and also closing down shops and establishments.

That's all for now  from the NEWS DESK .See you same time some other time .

Onam,Rabies Vaccination and the goddamn cats

                                                       


Onam was good(Even though my mind was not completely into it due to "certain reasons").But hey ....anyday at home is a good day.It rained all day & night.This is not god's own country anymore.It's rains own country !

Now lemme give you some free advice !
RULE #1 : NEVER try to save CATS ! 

Being the superhero I am,and  after  being inspired by Batman,Ra One,Salman Khan and Anna Hazare... I was trying to save couple of them kittens from drowning in the rain yesterday.And guess what happened ?One lil rat bit me .Err I mean the lil cat who was a rat bit me :) .That vampire sank his fank like microscopic teeth into my finger.Blood!!!!!!!!!  Dizziness,Fear ...THUD !

Now.. since these cats are not vaccinated and they roam around a lot, I had to take "expert" opinion and go take Rabies shots starting today.

By the book,you have to take injection on  the 0,3,7,28  days after exposure.You also have to get vaccinated immediately after the bite.I was going through articles on internet about Rabies so that I have a better understanding of  what it can do to me.Once the virus kicks in and you don't get vaccinated,it can be fatal.It affects the central nervous system ,may put you into a coma and cause death.Thats not the way I want to die.Hell no! Ok ...Maybe I can die of Rabies while free diving from a plane into an ocean full of sharks  and mermaids.... or something cool like that !

So.. I end up going to the hospital in the morning.We know some POWERFUL people there.So no waiting in the queue.In minutes,I am escorted in...and am breifed by the Chubby Nurse Auntie  wearing a mask (felt as if I was being quaratined after a zombie virus outbreak  like in the movies).

Soon after , I am injected on both my arms.The nurse obviously does not care about  my feelings.She had a hannibal lectar like calmness while plunging the needle repeatedly into me.Being the macho man that I am ...I did not even flinch ....Kids stuff eh  ! Thankfully ..this time.... unlike last time....my dad did not tell the nurse that-
" He is scared of injections".

Before leaving,I was told that I need to come and get stabbed once every 3 days for another week.Can it get any better? Also I was told not to erase it ? eh ? erase ?
I looked on my arm and found  the needle marks and slight swelling there.Now as usual, I forget to ask them what does this 'erasing' mean ? So I assume that she means I shoudn't touch or rub the injected spot.So I roll up both my sleeves and flaunt my non existent SALMAN KHAN   biceps and  walk out in slow motion.

Anyways, my research work  regarding the ordeal helped me get path breaking information .While browsing through terabytes of data on 'Yahoo Answers' for  Rabies related queries,I saw a question from an obviously bright ,young man which went like this -      "Does Masturbation cause blindness? " .

Brooks was here

This is  from the movie called 'The Shawshank Redemption'.One my all time favs.
I have heard people talk about Stephen King.."Oh that guy who writes only "horror" stories ".Right !
Brooks kinda makes you sad ,but that's how it is.It's a scary thought  becoming old and alone.

Journey

As I ride into the unending road of life,
As I look back through the window,
I see the past in front of my eyes.
I have been misunderstood,ridiculed,yelled at and
blamed.
Life is not like a movie with a crowd pleasing
ending or a romcom novel.
It can be an energy-vampire sucking out all the
positivity and leaving lots of negative energy.

I see rivers,lakes and lots of greenery on the way.
They take a bit of my pain away.
I understand that all this is part of the game.
I understand that the only thing that can hurt me
is myself as it is I who control my mind.
I realize how much I could have gained by spending
more time for myself ,for meditating ,for
understanding life rather than managing time badly
and staying up late and doing
work.

I never cared about people who hate me or want to pull me down.
I never cared about success or failure.
All that mattered to me was peace of mind and happiness for myself and
people who matter to me.
Nothing changes.
People who hate me ,who can't stand me ,who want
to get rid of me can continue throwing stones at me.
I will take all those stones and build towers out of it.
I look ahead and see a storm coming.
I am not scared. I know that this is just another battle,
I am a warrior and I am ready.
