Don't hate me because I am beautiful...

I had an excruciatingly long  and arduous week ... lots of work, tender submission hovering on top of my head, A Computer with doesn't play music (for the record I got my SPEAKERS yesterday!!!!!! Yipppeeee...  I am going to burn this place DOWN for sure! LOL), a whole lot of Photos to process, a blog I have ignored for the past few days, meeting two of my crazy adorable friends and little niece, heavy scrumptious dinner and BBM messages I haven't replied too, seeing this prospective groom and more! 

On Tuesday, All I wanted to do was get home and sleep, but I couldn't sleep without checking my BB now could I?? And a quick look through my twitter timeline and the first thing that catches my eye was...

"T 410 -NEWS NEWS NEWS !! I AM GOING TO BECOME A GRANDFATHER .. AISHWARYA EXPECTING .. SO HAPPY AND THRILLED !!!"

Senior Bachchan

I was ecstatic!! so happy, so proud and so overwhelmed!! Why??

Because I love Aishwarya so much!

Yes this is one topic which often makes me and people around me see RED! Any and everyone who gets a small hint that I like her, or rather adore her, they make it a POINT to crucify her!

She's the woman people love to hate. Reason? She is the epitome of beauty and success.... at least for me she IS! She has been blessed with good looks, a brain that she uses, elegant decorum, and the art of saying the right things at the right time to the right people, this is one thing I so need to learn! She is a successful actor, what with hits like Guru and the critically acclaimed Jodhaa Akbar under her belt. And there's more. She is a part of the Bachchan household. Daughter-in-law to Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, and wife to Abhishek Bachchan, Mrs. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan occupies an enviable position today... to add to the glory she is now pregnant!! I can't wait to see a picture of the beautiful baby girl! Yes I know for a fact it is a baby girl, who looks just like her Mum, has the comic sense of her Pa and takes after her Grandpa!!

But the mere presence of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan causes a furor! From her choice of clothes at events to her film's performance — wrong or right, there is always a commotion.

Throughout her career, people have called her Aishwarya as ‘plastic’, an ‘ice-maiden’, ‘wooden’, ‘artificial’ and a ‘non-actress’. I am yet to hear one person, other than me and my sis, who can staunchly stand by her, support her, take her side in any argument that  we have had with her as the topic! Why I have often wondered she doesn't have a magnanimous fan following that actors and non actors seem to be happily enjoying??

Today her face is more familiar internationally than any other Indian actor. If she is on TV, people don’t seem able to change channel, yet they don't like her! To top it all, she has transitioned into marriage with her fame largely untouched.

In Aishwarya's case, it's because of her looks, her rise to one of the most famous people in the world, her wealth, the opportunities she gets, or the illusion that she must have a happier life than the rest of us. And that's why most tend to brush her off. They comment on her 'plastic face', her 'irritating giggling-syndrome', her 'much practiced behavior', her 'boring diplomacy', and mock her when she is in the company of her in-laws and hubby playing the family woman to the hilt.

However, it's for all the above-mentioned reasons that I intend to salute Aishwarya today. I call her the Balancer, for she balances her professional life with her personal so beautifully. And I swear, that every woman who despises her does so because somewhere deep inside she knows that she can never get there, and every man who claims that she isn't the woman, does so because he can't have her, and because she is beyond 'realism', too perfect to be true!!!

She refuses to be dragged into controversies. She lets her 'rivals' and 'contemporaries' do all the talking – for or against her – while she quietly performs her duties as an actor and a homemaker conscientiously with panache, grit and dedication. And for all this and more, Aishwarya needs to be applauded.

Marriage hasn't come in the way of the world's most beautiful woman in fact, it appears her new added surname has bought her more name, fame and more lucrative offers and now I just hope, pray and know that the baby will only add to everything that she is!!!

A perfect song to sum up My feelings and the perfect song that so very apt for her....  Here's wishing and praying Madame Aishwarya has an easy, smooth, complication free and healthy pregnancy!! May the baby be happy, healthy, beautiful and divine as she is!! 

Don't HATE Me b'cos I am BEAUTIFUL!

Chicken tikka masala and Bollywood leading lady Aishwarya Rai top Will Smith's list of favourites in India. "I would do anything that Aishwarya Rai will be part of," he said. "I love her so."

So I do, Mr. Smith, So I do I! 

What is HAPPINESS??

A person with a vast heart is happy.

Such a person lives each day with a broad and embracing spirit.

A person with a profound spirit is happy.

Such a person can savor life's depths while creating meaning and value that will last for eternity.

A person with a pure mind is happy.

Such a person is always surrounded by refreshing breezes of joy.

What is the purpose of life? It is to become HAPPY! Whatever country or society people live in, they all have the same deep desire: to become HAPPY!

Yet, there are these few ideals which are extremely difficult to grasp as that of HAPPINESS. True happiness is to be found within, in the state of our hearts. It does not exist on the far side of some distant mountain! Nope absolutely NOT! It is within you, yourself!!! Happiness is to be found in the dynamism and energy of your own life as you struggle to overcome one obstacle after another. and Most importantly Happiness is when you can make someone else HAPPY! :D

Yes, This was what I told or rather tried telling My Mother when she asked me, "Why do you have to go out in THIS blazing heat and take pictures of other people? What will you get out of it? You will get tanned, tired, exhausted to say the least! You only have the weekend to relax and rest, and you do this?? Sit at home read a book, we can go out Shop later!" LOL Mums, they are perpetually worried about us... and no matter how tall we grow or how old we get they will still feel we are small little helpless babies! :D Love u MA!

A week back, on Friday, While I was getting ready to shoot a Good Friend of mine, Suresh, at 2.30 in the afternoon, I decided to look down from my balcony... and judging by the people walking on roads, it certainly wasn't a Good Idea... It was HOT, Humid, Sticky and arid! But I couldn't let the heat come in between me and the Photo shoot could I? So me and my Prized assistant, My darling brother Kaushik headed out to shoot!

Fortunately or unfortunately my Model decides to take his own sweet time and lavishly sway in a good hour and half LATE! I completely despise unpunctuality, but then again I was mentally prepared to wait on this chronically late gentleman, as we friends are so used to him replying to any and every BBM Message almost day later! In fact it's the first thing that me and Deepika, another good friend of mine always talk about, when Suresh is mentioned! How HE is Always LATE! :D

Finally we he did arrive, he was a ball of nerves, lol... Honestly so was I, it was the first time I was doing a MALE photo shoot (that's other than My Appa and My brother of course) and I was completely apprehensive as to how it would turn out... What ensued was 3 hours of Madness, with 5 costumes changes, 5 different locations, My stylist making a Grand Guest appearance (Special Thanks to my sister, Sanjana for having taken out time from her busy Exam schedule and heading out to help Me, MWAH!), dehydration, heat, sweat, lots of running, tripping over around 4 times and lots of Happiness!

It was initially hard to get him smile, or pose, or even express but it soon got better, all thanks to my baby brother posing for him and also thanks to me looking like a complete idiot sitting on the floor with my protective duppatas and  glares trying my level best to escape the sun and to get the best shoots! He was delight to work with, a good spoilt, he wordlessly followed my instructions and was cheerful even when I made him lie on the ground,  jump on to pedestals, climb on to walls (or at least try) and what not!

After a week when we met a again, it was time for me to officially handover the post processed images and I had insisted he look at the pictures along with Me and My team. Boy, am I glad I did that! His expressions and his reactions truly made it worthwhile! The joy of making some else happy, that is truly something else. It takes away all the toil, pain, exhaustion that you have to put yourself through initially!

All I can say now is I can't wait to spread the HAPPINESS, and fight yet another battle with the ever rising scorching heat of Doofai!! (P.S. Lots of happiness/Photo shoots in the pipeline!! :D )

The Temporary LOSS of My Best Friend!

The whole of last week, I was super excited, yes that’s the word SUPER! Well maybe the reason I was excited *may not* appeal to a lot many people but it sure does to me! :D I was to get a NEW PC at work!!! Most of you reading might think, "So what so great about getting one? Every1 has one, so whats the deal?" Well I love getting excited! I love the feeling of anticipating something, waiting for it to arrive, looking forward to using/seeing/being with it! After all, what is life without such small simple (Pfft...) joys? These tiny moments of joy are what make’s our life eventful, exciting and lively. I know its materialistic, But it also adds a little shine to the daily mundane Office Life, isn't? 

Coming back to my source of excitement for the last week, After three and half long years, I was getting a NEW computer at work! And it was supposed to faster, more effective, technically super competent, perfect tool for designing, and all the cool stuff that you generally hear about. Randomly my Boss declared “Neelu needs a new PC, and she SHOULD get the Best, with all the possible High configurations and stuff!” Yes My Boss has always favored me, as my colleagues usually say “You his PET!” Well I don’t know about that, but what I do know is who doesn't like a person who works tirelessly, finishes his/her job on time and tries his/her best to complete the same with minimum errors?? Right? :P Well It could also be that he would like to buy a PC with a minimum of three years guarantee. 

 

Intel® Core™ i7-975 Processor Edition, Processor speed 3.33Ghz, Intel® QuickPath Interconnect @ 6.4GT/s, and Blah Blah Blah.... I can barely understand as this! For those of you who are wondering, I am a computer illiterate!  I don’t get all these technical jargon and quite frankly I never really bothered getting to know them better. I was happy getting my computers and laptops complete fixed by the experts and merely using them to get my stuff done! The creative/design/aesthetic sides alone! Well I don’t need to as well, because when I do up someone’s interiors, I don’t expect them to know what architraves, cornices, POP moldings, Armories, Brocades, Jaccquards, and the Bauhaus movements are! They don’t need to, that what I am here for! To make their lives simpler, well designed and tastefully done!

So naturally, I expected to get a PC which was COMPLETE with all required modules and features! But alas... I was amused when I discovered my newly arrived computer had NO Monitor! Lol Yes, apparently WE hadn’t ordered for it! When we ask for a NEW PC, complete with ALL specifications and parts, is it wrong to presume that it would come with a MONITOR?? It would be like telling anyone of my client that “Sorry Sir, We haven’t installed the Ceiling in your Office, as you hadn't requested for one!”:O

But at that stage I had laughed it off, thinking it was okie… Not a Biggie, and since I was told that I would get one soon, I thought, Okay, Something else to look forward to! :D And then two days later the Monitor arrived!! And that's when My Heart Broke!!! Why, you may ask?? My Monitor had NO speakers!!!!!!!

For Me, Music is everything!! It is very difficult, in fact highly impossible to live without music. I listen to music everywhere: in the streets, at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops, in the parks and in the concert halls and sing along as well. Everywhere, all the time!! I can’t live without music, it is within ME. I try to listen to it even while sleeping. It’s the ONE thing that helps me function! In fact this was the one thing I had told my boss on the very first day that I joined work, "I will play music all the time, and no I wouldn't use headphones as they are cumbersome especially while working, designing and creating mood boards and also because I wouldn't be able to hear if someone's trying to call me so I will play It out Loud!" And He was cool with it, the only thing he wanted in return was for me to cut a CD of all the songs I thought he would like and give it to him on regularly basis! That’s all! A Fair Deal, a rather good one! Well until now that is!! L

No matter how the people around you are, no matter how they behave, I mean, no matter how sweet and kind they are, there are times when you need the whole world to be gone and you need to cut off and work, to create and to produce! Though, it is not that easy to make this world gone and it is twice difficult to make this whole world go out of your head. Its music, the only thing that can help you get rid of these thoughts and that can help you feel like there is nothing but you and nothing but the work in front of you!

Unfortunately that very thing has been snatched away from me! How would I have known that the Monitor would come with NO speakers?? Especially considering the fact that EVERYONE involved, right from the Decision maker to the Technical person was well versed with my Music Condition/ addiction!

Music is my friend. My true true friend... Yes, I would even say, that it is probably my most reliable and dependable friend. A true friend who cheers me up in an emergency situation; wipes out my sufferings when I am depressed or upset or even sick. Bring me consolation and inspiration whenever I have needed it. A real friend who is never importunate and boring. We choose people to become our friends basing on the qualities and streaks similar to those mentioned above. The same criterion is applied when I select MY favorite music.

Good music, being My best friend has the staunch ability to give me the gift of *GOOD, PLEASANT mood* and can also give me the ENERGY, VIBRANCE and OPTIMISM to surmount all hardships that I may come across in my live. If by now you feel that I am over reacting, and if you still don’t believe in healing power of music, just try to wake up with your favorite song or tune playing and you will see that your life will be greatly improved.

As for me, What I need to do is to do something and get this situation fixed ASAP! Because as of now, I feel horrible that I have temporarily LOST My Best Friend at work! L

Criminal Minds

I, for one, used to hate blood and gore. In fact still do to an extent, but I am sure My Appa would strongly disagree with the former part of this statement and I must say that he has pretty good reasons to feel so as well, but I’ll come to that later.

I Shriek at the drop of a hat, lol… Loud, piercing shriek, and I have a track record of screaming, this is irrespective of the place, the time or the event… I don’t do it on purpose but that’s just the way I function. I have screamed for Movies like Karthik Calling Karthik, Bhagam Bhaag, Nyan Mahan Illay (This movie was marketed as a love story, but trust me the “Love” was pushed to the tiniest possible corner and covered with lots of blood, lots of guts and some phenomenally dangerous weapons, that it almost vanished!!!), and I can go on and on about Movies or incidents that have made me scream, but that’s Not what I am talking about here… Nevertheless, I still get goose flesh thinking about Salman Khan ripping of 5kg Flesh off some guy’s chest (he claims its 5 kg and he in fact challenges us to weigh the same if we aren’t convinced... Ughh), all this and more in the humongous –ly over budgeted epic Mega FLOP endeavor called VEER! (Good Lord, What a torture… That movie! Things that we have to put ourselves through for you, Mr. Khan! Uff… Too Much I tell ya!)

But that said and done, I am a Huge, Mega, Enormous, Super, Gigantic Fan of all Police Procedurals, Dramas, and the Thriller genre. Anything to do with Behavioral Analysis, procedural dramas focusing on the Criminal rather than the crime, getting to know why they did it, profiling them is definitely my kind of thing. Conflicting I know, but fascinating nonetheless! Criminal Minds, Bones, CSI Miami, NCIS, Law and Order Special Victims Unit and Castle, ALL of it! 

  



  

                                            



Of all these Shows, Criminal Minds seem to be my Current Favorite, and Appa absolutely resents watching the show and as well as me watching it… He likes watching and me watching Castle alright owing to its light hearted comedy and an underlying love angle, but CM, absolutely NOT! I guess it’s due to the high graphic content and violence showcased on it, but really once your engrossed into it, you actually see beyond the blood and gore. Lol… In fact, only yesterday my writing pad was on the Shoe rack and Appa glanced through the same and was aghast when he saw the Title which read “Criminal Minds” He said, “What Now??! Are you going to write about it as well??” Appa’s logic is that you watch Criminal Minds; you turn into one as well! LOL.. Actually the thing is he is shocked at how a Girl who used to cringe every time the villain used to even hit the Hero is now coolly sitting and watching Flattened Dead bodies being crapped out Roads and Pits full of dead bodies and live operations! Actually I still do cringe at the site of blood and when the Hero is hit, but there is something beyond all of this which actually has me hooked onto these shows… But even I don’t have an answer to why I am so enamored by the whole Criminal investigation, interrogations, forensic investigations and the likes. Well, as always I have are a few theories on the same:

• Is it because of the terrifically good looking and apt casting of the various characters?
• Is it because of the extremely engrossing story lines?
• Is it because I have a insatiable need to know WHY?

I would like to think it’s ALL of the Above! Now that I seem to have almost conquered my fear of blood and gore at least on TV, I can move on to TRYING to watch horror movies… Or wait I think I will let that pass… :P I just need to get rid of these haunting dreams that I get wherein I am almost always the VICTIM, and maybe once I am done with that, I can find other less frightening avenues to direct my interests to…

But I must say, thanks to all these shows, I have the anatomy of a Complete Murder Investigation clearly etched in my mind and the mechanics of a typical murder investigation from the standpoint of the investigators, How is it handled, and what are all the procedures followed everything!! As My Mum would ask, “And what do you think you will achieve by having all this information?” Who knows, May be I will write a Crime thriller or even become a Homicide Detective at some point…. Or NOT! Hah! (But I’ll say THAT would be Really Cool now, wouldn’t it??)

By the way Before I end, I would like those of you who are reading this to kindly visit Stock Images, A FB acquaintance of Mine, a very talented photographer is the Founder of this stock photography website and it would be of Great help to him. This site has a vast collection of nature, wildlife and travel pictures... So, take a few minutes off Facebooking and take a look at it.. Appreciate your precious time!

Love!

We Cannot Judge Anyone! Or Can we?

Owing to a really bad stomach ache and an equally foul mood connected with it, my usually hectic Weekend schedule went in for a complete toss this time. Well, I guess it’s a Illness induced temporary speed breaker given to me to sit back and relax… as much as I absolutely HATE it, it was very much necessary considering the never before seen dark circles appearing on my face a day before the weekend officially began. Looking back I guess that it was a Sign, showing me a glimpse of the impeding nasty weekend… Well, It wasn't that much of a Horror per say, but it definitely wasn't MY kinda weekend, I didn’t step outside, I didn't click any pictures, I didn’t shop, Hell, I didn't even Read! What I did was Sleep…Whine, Eat…Whine, Watch TV/Movies and Whine some more! ** But I did manage to punch in a Blog entry before 12.00am, So YAY! My weekend wasn't a waste after all! :)

This Morning, picking up my BB and reading the news on the KT App… The first thing that caught my eye was… Mrs. Hillary Clinton eyeing the Top job at the World Bank! Well I really have no interest what so ever in her political career/agendas or the likes but what exactly drew my attention was the fact that the Post that she is apparently eyeing isn’t Vacant as yet and I Quote:

“Under normal circumstances, the names of potential candidates for the World Bank would surface only months before the post becomes vacant. But the timing of the discussions is not unusual this year given the sudden opening of the top job at the bank’s sister institution, the IMF.” Unquote

Well, that explains a lot doesn't it? All those of you who have been following the news, are very much aware of the reason behind the SUDDEN opening of the top job at IMF now, don’t we?

All these sudden happenings here have me quite appalled!! Sickened actually at the frequency and the commonness of all these happenings…  Of late we have had an extremely talented and supposedly happily married Mr. Ahuja running behind a Maid, IMF chief Mr. Strauss Kahn chasing a Hotel maid; Actor, Governor and Father of four Mr. Schwarzenegger coming out with the revelation that he has Fathered yet another kid with a Household help (yes Maids seem to be popular choice here), and recently Mr. Weiner resorting to some lewd means to attract female attention! It’s a pity to note that all the above mentioned names are those of Married, Well settled, Popular and Strong men… I am quite sure there may be plenty such cases where the ladies are the focus of this sort of unflattering flood light, but Thankfully as of now I am blissfully unaware of them!

The interesting part about Mr. Weiner would be that his marriage was Officially presided over by none other than Mr. Bill Clinton (Well with that piece of information at hand, I guess we all know whose CHARM and demeanor rubbed off on Mr. Weiner). His wife, Huma Abedin, is not only the Deputy Chief of Staff and Aide to the United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but also in the early stages of her pregnancy, she is carrying Mr. Weiner’s Baby, her very first child. It almost like a soap opera! Or wait, this is beginning to be a novelist’s dream…  Pitch this to an Editor and BAM… I am sure it would have you ultimately laughing your way to the bank…

But THIS isn’t a novel, and certainly isn’t a laughing matter at all… another thing that is quite revolting is What sort of "Close Friend" or "Family Member" would disclose information such as her pregnancy to others, especially members of the press, considering the timing? I mean what sort of people does she have around her? First, an absolute jerk for husband who brings her immeasurable embarrassment, and now ‘Close friends and family' broadcasting her personal news... Poor Woman!

I just can’t figure what exactly causes people in a seaming healthy, happy, cultured relationship to jump the gun and do something which brings along with it, boundless embarrassment, ridicule and years of torture?? Yes, even though the people who are closest to the scenario may want to forget, perhaps forgive and move beyond this catastrophe… WE are just not ready aren’t we? Well we definitely haven’t been able to forget Ms. Lewinsky now have we? I for one haven’t, and every time I see Mr. Clinton on TV or Paper, SHE almost always Flashes in my head… and I hold the Media’s Overexposure entirely responsible for the same!

All said and done, I feel the current trend and rise in infidelity is just dreadful to say the least… I just hope and pray Ms Abedin has an easy and healthy pregnancy, and that her husband's ANTICS are not causing her any stress and anxiety. May the baby be happy, healthy and may her pregnancy be as smooth and complication-free as possible. Perhaps Mr. Weiner should spend his time fixing his marriage and resign already… Or Perhaps Not… Uhmmm.

So Has Justice been done?

“There are no two minds – one good and the other evil; the mind is only ONE. It is the residual impressions that are of two kinds – auspicious and inauspicious. When the mind is under the influence of the auspicious impressions it is GOOD and when it is under the influence of the inauspicious impressions it is regarded as EVIL."

                                                                          "Who Am I?" the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi

Today marks exactly one month since, Osama bin Laden, hunted and touted as the mastermind behind the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil, has been killed.

The president, Obama called the killing of bin Laden the "most significant achievement to date" in the effort to defeat al Qaeda. "Justice has been done," He said. My question is “Has it?”

While I agree he has killed or rather massacred so many many innocent people. He honed his deadly skills to target United States civilians as part of a "holy war". But killing someone, I am sure that is not the Answer! If all of us begin to start supporting the Eye for an eye, tooth or a tooth ideology, Where is progess? Surely we civilised people CAN think of other ways to make a criminial mind pay, isnt it?

I for one am completely against Death penalty! No I don’t feel sorry for the these criminals or whatever you may call them. What I do, is feel strongly about taking things into our hands and ENDING a life that quite obviously we have NO way to create! How can we destroy, put an end to a human life, or rather any Life for that matter! In doing so, aren’t we also stooping to the same level as the person in front of us? What exactly is the PURPOSE of Death penalty??

• To remove from society someone who would cause MORE harm? 
• To remove from society someone who is INCAPABLE of rehabilitation? 
• To deter OTHERS from committing murder?
• To PUNISH the criminal?
• To take retribution ON BEHALF of the victim?

What is IT?

While I know executions may be on the decline, a large number of countries, including the USA still continue to pass death sentences for drug-related offences, economic crimes, sexual relations between consenting adults, and blasphemy even - violating international human rights law forbidding the use of the death penalty except for the most serious crimes!! Now I have two questions!

       a) Is Execution the Only way?

       b) Who decides what how SERIOUS is serious?

Even though tearing someone’s limbs apart by horses seems repulsively surreal today, modern methods of execution aren’t always much less barbaric. In America, they still use the electric chair, gas chamber and even a firing squad on occasion. So is the case in Saudi Arabia... In many states they utilize lethal injection to carry out capital punishment! Which is basically injected into the criminal’s veins, in turn relaxing his muscles, reducing blood circulation, and eventually stopping the HEART! All this while the person is in excruciating pain, but paralyzed so he/she cannot even call out for help! Are we so barbaric? In the case of Osama, he had his brains exploded out of his Head! I know what he did but that doesn’t take away what WE did as well!

It does seem odd, though, that instead of focusing on the fact that the governments are killing someone, and I for one am are focusing on how it has been done.

But can’t we concentrate more other forms of punishments? Like say Solitary confinement?

With what little I know, I vote for Solitary confinement! Instead of Killing the person and putting an END to his Life, can we not dictate the rest of his life, take away everyone and everything from him, give him the time to think, and reflect upon his actions and in turn beg for forgiveness for His/Her hideous crimes and give them an opportunity to change! I mean what better punishment for Someone like Osama, who relished the power of Being in CONTROL, than to take away that very right!

How much can it really matter when the end result is still the same — death? What matters is whether WE choose to bloody our hands as well with someone’s life or rather give an opportunity for the guilty person to Recollect, Reflect, Regret and Repent!

As an Example, Mr. Williams, an author and Nobel Peace and Literature Prizes nominee who was put to death on December 13, 2005 by lethal injection by the state of California… He was convicted of four murders committed in 1979, and sentenced to death. Williams professed innocence of these crimes. He was also co-founder of the Crips, a deadly and powerful Los Angeles-based street gang responsible for hundreds of murders.

But what is interesting is that about five years after incarceration, Mr. Williams underwent a religious conversion and, as a result, authored many books and programs to promote peace and to fight gangs and gang violence. He was nominated five times for the Nobel Peace Prize and four times for the Nobel Literature Prize!!!

Mr. Williams' was a self-admitted life of crime and violence, followed by genuine redemption and a life of uniquely and unusually good works. While the circumstantial evidence against Williams left little doubt that he committed the four murders, we also know that HE posed no further threat to society, and would contribute considerable good!! Yet he was put to death! Argh... Saying that itself makes me want to throw up! What I want to explain from this example is exactly what I wrote in the beginning, No one is Good or Bad… there are only good thoughts and bad thoughts…. Osama, and Mr. Williams were under Bad thoughts and therefore acted evil… But where do I place US? We the self proclaimed GOOD people who go about killing the BAD ones? There is always a choice; it’s up to us how we want to do things!

A world free of the death penalty, executions and Killing is not only possible, it is definitely foreseeable… I wonder how long will it take?
