Taliban knocking. Is another Kargil around ?

Pakistan is not able to manage its own mess. Taliban is on rise and  close to our borders. It  has been said taliban is mere 5 hrs drive away from Amritsar. This is really scary and should be a concern for us. Why is this happening ? Call me paranoid or whatever I can only think of following reason   Pakistan is trying to launch another Kargil style war. Where they would cry wolf of Kashmir being an un-resolved issue.  Later they may vindicate their claim of not being involved as talibanis are “Non state actors”. In difficult economic times history speaks U.S have gone on war. They averted the last economic slowdown through Iraq war. Now it might me Afghanistan. On second thought liberating Afghanistan will not bring oil like benefits ( Like Iraq ) to U.S. Thus  they want India to get involved by letting Taliban close to Indian borders.

Me in Delhi-6

Am high with 103 degree fever and my brain cells don't die. Saw the promotion of movie Delhi 6 . It was then that my brain juices brewed the following mixture           As I write this, songs from Delhi-6 keep looping in my ears.

Migrating to wordpress

Enough with sloppy blogger.com . I am slowly switching my blog to Wordpress.com . Why the switch you may ask ?  its for the following reasons   Blogger theme collection sucks. Much more options available on Wordpress. Being futuristic if I have an option of  hosting my own server I can simply download wordpress and go live in a jiffy. Just for the heck of it. To learn something new. I did not like my Blogger URL.   Till its a complete switch over, testing would continue on   http://beta.vishal.net.in   Above URL might not be reachable till the DNS is not populated across the world.  Till then please keep your patience.

Opps !! I did it again. With GIMP and clever thinking I changed the following image to the resulting image on the right.                                              The theme of this master piece is  ain’t just “another brick in the wall” . The phrase “Another brick in the wall” is borrowed from Pink Floyd’s famous rock song.   Fine !!!, enough of my self obsessed statements.  But again who likes to be just “Just another brick in the wall”.

Pub and Mall culture

It was only VHP / Shiv Sena known for protesting western culture. Now congress have also joined the rank. I don't know if this is a tactic of  these self styled protector of culture. To get more hafta from Mall and Pub owners, or they somehow got an impression that Indian youth is crying for help to save our culture. Whatever it may be, this isn't good for the up coming love season. Now VHP and shiv sena workers would strike even harder on valentines day. God save all the love birds this valentine.
