Nalini has broken her fast!! Not that I am too concerned with Nalini eating or not while in jail. I have no objections to the fact that her death penalty was revoked. But I do have objections if she is released from prison. The law needs to decide on that and we will abide by our law. She had killed our Prime Minister-Rajiv Gandhi(good or bad) and she was caught. That's it.
This has got nothing to do with Indians killing Tamils in Srilanka or all such related theories. Sometimes we just confuse issues and misplace our sympathies!!

Q8 - Arbit Comments
The climate is changing. The evenings are warm all right but it’s not hot. Give or take another month and the evenings will be extremely pleasant. A walk by the sea would be a good idea, not that you should not go now.
Durga Puja is approaching and there is a local association that does a hush hush affair that I am told everybody knows about. I believe there are some restrictions on idol worship, et al but I am not sure of the same. As usual there are a couple of prominent churches and therefore I believe there is tolerance. But typically it could always be a case of selective tolerance!!
The Ramadan just about got over and that would brought an end to the relaxed office hours. We are not complaining though!! Sphere: Related Content

Office near Home? (Linked in Q)
Office near home could have the following benefits:
1. Reduce stressful travel time and allows your mind to be more healthy and productive.
2. Contribute to lowering pollution since you would be travelling less.
3. Work time and home time...both are important constituents of the day and having an office near home helps maintain a good balance.
On the lighter side:
1. You could go back home for a short siesta to be fresh for the long haul.
2. Go back home for fresh food rather than stale food packed early in the morning and also avoid junk food in office or vicinity. The best would be to have a flexi time HOME office and these days inceasingly thats the way to go!! Sphere: Related Content

Do you feel God is Partial when Luck seems to work better than hard work? (Linked In Q)
God's way of giving is different and need not be a one to one incident based. So while you would help "A" perhaps you would get back from "B". I for one do not expect a direct return of favor.
The concept of a return favor is not a good thing to pursue. If things happen to you due to a direct fall out its good for you...if it's not..something better is destined. Coming to LUCK therefore...we do not have the full insider information on the "LUCKY ONE". He must have done or doing some other good KARMA for him to get rewarded from unexpected quarters Sphere: Related Content

Time Killing or Killing Times
The family is not here and it's an understatement when I say that I miss them. The TV Channels are available but since I like watching movies end to end I am just not being able to figure out when a movie would start. I know it's a game of patience but that's how it is.
The saving grace is that I have a host of movies on my laptop and that's under my control. I have also hooked up the audio system to my PC for hearing my MP3 collection loud and clear.
I have been to a couple of malls but as usual they are all the same and therefore are not of interest. It's too hot outside for a casual evening walk too. What should we do out here?
Yesterday I connected with a Bengali Cultural Society and they have 20000 questions for me to become a member. Ridiculously insane!!
From today I have planned to go to the Gym. While time will perhaps pass, a bit of fat would also reduce. That's finally something positive given the state that I am in. By the way, I forgot to mention that I am in Kuwait now!! Sphere: Related Content

Death
Last month saw two deaths amongst family and friends. A very dear friend was suffering from advanced liver cancer for the last one year or so and finally she found her release last month. Then there was this dear Aunt who passed away last week after a prolonged period of illness.
I still do not how to deal with death, in the sense that there is this perpetual conflict of emotions, behavior, thoughts being in control, etc. Most often than not I am absolutely lost with words to be used for consoling or offering my sympathies. I wonder if mere presence works instead of a barrage of words, or a hug perhaps. If I am in the vicinity of the situation, I try and get involved and get busy with work…and typically there is always a lot to be done. I try and hide my emotions, but these days I am finding it difficult to control them. Sphere: Related Content
