Though I do not agree with this guy's plan of action, what he wants is legit. India accounts for 70% of all business in cricket, so people had better show us some fricking respect.

All right! This should show these idiots to invest somewhere else! I don't like Krshna and hold him responsible for the extra-judicial murder of Charvaka.

What an idiot VHP VP Giriraj Kishore is. If the Hindus buried their dead, Savarkar would be spinning in his grave by now. Bankimchandra, had he been alive today would have wept uncontrollably. These two fierce patriots, who advocated that the only religion allowed in a nation should be that of devotion to the motherland, who gave birth to the one abstraction that would finally unite India, Hindutva, these people are being repeatedly 'used' by communal swines to further their own ends. To suggest this is despicable. Hinduism is vague. Hindutva is cultural nationalism.

Sonia swings into action.

Hmmm...R.S.S. just set up a boarding school for orphaned kids in Delhi. You don't think retired government workers raised the money for that, do you?

We need more of such debates. Three members from each party should speak for 15 minutes each. No interruptions. At the end of the debate, the winner of the debate and the best speaker is declared by a panel of 'unbiased' adjudicators. Like we have 'em in NTU, say how? [Takes a long time to load]

I haven't been busy. I just didn't feel like blogging.

What happened yesterday that was interesting? Let's see, as a true blue environmentalist, I phooked three hours of sweet sleep to ingeniously save a Yellow Bittern You are related to things in ways you cannot imagine. After saving the bird, I realised that Seamus Heaney had written a poem about the creature. Now, Heaney happens to be one of my favourite poets. I did not know about the poem until after I surfed around to find out more about he bird I had saved.

How the Bittern was saved

0130 Sundi and I return from 7 11 [with fags]
0200 I loaf around in Sundi's room
0205 I go out and see a hen-sized bird being stalked by a cat.
0210 Sundi comes out to watch the show.
0215 Cat attacks Bird
0220 Bird takes flight, can't see because it's night, crashes into wall.
I think its neck is broken.
0230 The bird stops moving. I shrug my shoulders and look at the cat.
Then the bird stood up and shook its head. Miracle. It couldn't walk yet. I chased the cat away.
0240 I called the SPCA. The said, catch the bird and bring it here. I muttered something and hung up. The bird had claws the size of my fingers, I wasn't getting my hands near the thing.
The cat is still hovering around.

Over the next three hours, till daybreak. I guided the bird to a dark musty place where the cat wouldn't see it. Though the cat might smell the bird out. So I light small fires 100 feet away from the bird to mask its smell.

At day break, I called Jurong Bird Park, thinking they might be able to send a guy over, considering that it is only 15 minutes away. But their apathy amazed me. And they call themselves bird-lovers.

The conversation
"Does the bird have a tag around its leg?"
"No"
"Then sorry lah, it's not our bird. Must be a wild one."
"But the bird is hurt and cannot fly."
"Sorry lah, your bird is not on the endangered species list."
"My bird? Hello, I am not even Singaporean."
"Sorry lah, we know you want to help, but cannot lah"

I hung up the phone. For the whole day, the bird rested there, in that dark musty gutter, without food. I could see it, but I couldn't reach it. The next day, I checked on it again. No Bird. Trepidated, I scanned the are for feathers, found none. I hope the Bittern is now happy in its swampy habitat, catching frogs and the like.

Mental note: Iff you see a bird with a Jurong Bird Park sticker on it, fire up the grill. I am going non-vegetarian. No lah, just kidding kidding one.
