Grab a seat, the best is yet to come

Yes, it has been awhile.

From the news, I realised today was the anniversary of the tsunami disaster. It's funny how time seems to creep up unknowingly and tap you on the shoulder. And before you know it, people who used to be there are gone. Forever.

As this day of remembrance where people raise voices to honour the past, pray tell did they succeed in uncovering memories that brought a wistful smile or a single tear?

Memories.

Infinite, melancholic, breathtaking - No place in the universe can give you this exhilaration of walking down memory lane.

The other issue that has been hogging the headlines will be the NKF issue.

As the cliche so says, It was a PR disaster.

It is truly sobering that this whole shebang was only uncovered because Durai was too big for his own shoes and decided to play way above his head. So much for the checks and balances and regulations, in the end everyone concerned was served a general helping of humble pies. Imagine if the CEO decided not to sue for defamation and instead, decided to release a statement saying how disappointed he is that people are trying to make NKF look bad even though the organisation has helped about "insert any number that Durai suggests" who are in need of help.

His standing would have risen and reputation cemented. Something to think about, if it can happen to one organisation, who is to say this has not happened or is happening at other places?

And the excuses or more correctly, rebuttals are really funny. I wont bore you with them, you all should know how lame the excuses were.

Speaking about excuses. Sometimes it absolutely amazes me how some people come out with excuses that are so plain fucking ridculous. And here is something more unbelievable, they expect you to go along and actually accept these lies, oh sorry, I mean excuses.

Come on, we are not dumbasses. We can smell crappy lies, dammit sorry, I mean excuses before they leave your bloody mouth. So give us a break, just tell the truth.

And oh yes. Remember if you have read till here, you have willingly subjected yourself to my opinions and thrash. Please keep in mind I do not force any thoughts and opinions down your throat. You don't find a huge pop-up while you're surfing the net with my comments on them. You dont find emails with huge links threatening you to visit this space.

So if you read something that made you go all squeaky and say "Fish!" or "Freaking hell!". Tough luck.

Don't you hate people who say fish, freaking hell and type "F***"? I mean if you wanna swear, then swear with gusto.

FUCK. See the world is still here.

Merry Christmas everybody.

Time Of Your Life

sometimes one moment arrives when you just have no idea what to say or write but feel that you have to do so anyway.

This is such a moment. As I can't find no better way, here is the lyrics of my old time favourite.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you,
I'd withstand
All of hell
to hold your hand

*more than you'll ever know
