The Changing World

March-April 2010.

Meri Jaan, sabse pahle tou apologies to the folks who eagerly await the next blog.

Like I mentioned earlier, I will be posting the blog only once a month. In Bollywood bhasha - "Mere Paas waqt thoda kam hain varna apun tumhare liye yeve-ry week blog likhtaa."

So, while some of you get ready for St. Patricks Day, or Easter; Whether you enjoy the March Madness in Basketball or the IPL Kraze in Cricket;

While some of you lament over the Desi budget and some are rejoicing Obama's healthcare reform plan, dont fret Meri Jaan as I am ready to take you through the OTHER devastations happening all around you! (Oho - apart from the Pune IPL team :)

In case you did not know, a 5.6 magnitude earthquake hit Cuba in the last few days and as we speak Eyjafjallajoekull glacier in Iceland is erupting Lava on Ice.

What the hell is happening people?

Volcano under Ice and 10 earthquakes in less than 3 months? Is the Godzill-ing or is the Earth hill-ing?

For the Deemag ka Bheja fry types, the seismologists are associating these quakes to the San Andreas Fault in the earth Line or the "Newtons Cradle rule".

But, is that really the reasoning behind all these events?

First, in January, we saw the earthquake in Haiti.
Second - Big one occurred in Indonesia - off Sumatra Coast
Third - Earthquake in Okinawa, Japan
Fourth - Earthquake in Chile
Fifth - In Turkey and in Hawaii around same time
Sixth - 3 Earthquakes in succession in Chile again
Seventh - Earthquakes in Himachal, Los Angeles, and Melbourne
Eighth - Earthquake in Indonesia again
Ninth - Earthquake in Chile again - 90% power outage in the country
Tenth - Next one in Southern California

Let's not forget the other ones in Taiwan, China, Kashmir, and Illinois.

Meri Jaan whatever the other reasons, I dont want to say "Sky is falling", but I also don-wanna believe this is just a fat guy walking down the road causing all the tremors.

Yeh kya ho rahaa hain Raja? Something is not right people!!

You also know for sure something is not right when Warren buffet moves from his New York home to his 5 BR house in Omaha, Baba Ramdev starts owning a Scottish Island, Google decides to shut its shop in China and something is definitely wrong when you have an IPL team for Puneri people.

Aai-gaa, Amaalaa pann Kirkit Khelaa-ychey Aahey :)

Amongst all these events, one person that is happy is Tiger Woods wife.

Tiger has finally asked for forgiveness for being the "ghar ka bhoola- jo ghar ko lauta" and has given a NOTE of Sorry to his wife.

The only thing to add is the note was a cheq of 150million USD.

Tou Meri Jaan, till you hear about the next Dharti-Quake, stay safe and stay in Loeve !!
