The Pot calling the Kettle Black !!

Saw in the news yesterday that NRI'S (mostly from from US / Canada) are wary of visiting India due to the Swine Flue scare ...

And I am wondering what the heck ... its a nice little case of the Pot calling the Kettle black.

India got the swine flue from people travelling from US/canada to India ... it came to India from the west with the NRI & foren return crowd

that aside, the stats have got more to tell ...


Global figures - 89,921 cases with 382 deaths as of 3rd July (more than a month ago)

US Stats - 33,902 cases with 170 deaths as of 3rd July (more than a month ago)

India Stats - We had no deaths and about 100 cases a month ago ... around 3rd July

Even current status is that we have about 8-10 deaths and less than 1000 cases

My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
