Anger Management
Why does one get angry?
- Because one did not get what one wanted
- Because one feels insulted (imagined or real)
- Because one feels inadequate or insecure
The above are just some reasons I can think of right now. There are a hundred other reasons for getting angry I am sure.
I have decided one thing. No point in getting angry anymore and losing one’s temper. We are all grown up and men and no longer immature young men. If I get angry I will ask myself if it is worth losing my temper. If I feel it is worth it, I will walk away. If I am being shouted at where things can be talked over, I will still walk away.

Mangalore And A Prayer

Attended Naveen’s wedding at Mangalore. It was great. But more on that later. This post is about me and how I prayed at St. Aloysius Chapel in Mangalore. Ok…not much of a but a picture really.
Hehehe…I know. Sacrilege.
But fun apart, the chapel was amazing with beautiful murals all over the walls including on the ceiling. It was like walking into a dark ages catholic “cult” chapel. Only the priests in robes were missing. But in my imagination I could see.
Before visiting the chapel we had also visited a temple, but the name eludes me. All I know is it was in Kadri and goes something like Manjunateswara temple of something. We were told to visit the caves which were supposedly awesome. I am really not sure if we were at the right place, but you can see Renie inside one “cave”. Hehehehe.
The huge Hanuman in the temple apparently trained along with Arnie (Arnold Schwarzenegger).
The temple was also quite interesting. My whole point in visiting these places was to know a bit of Mangalore history. The monuments hold a lot of history and culture in their walls and sculptures. Quite interesting.
And then, of course, one picture of Nafisa and I to close the post.
Oops. No. One more pic please.

For Sale: 13-year-old Virgin

Oh man, this is happening in India? Still? Damn! Double Damn! Triple Damn! And I get to know through Nothing to do with Arboroath even though I am from India? Quadruple damn! I am not sure this is good at all. Penta damn!
Thirty miles west of the Taj Mahal, on the road to the pink city of Jaipur, tourists on buses pass a sight that the guide books rarely mention.
Tonight, one girl in particular is attracting attention as she sits on a stool by a fire so that she can be seen by passing vehicles. Her heavily made-up, striking face and beautiful pink sari make her look as if she were on her way to a party. But the truth is different. Suli, 14, is a virgin and a bidding war is being held for the right to be the first to sleep with her.
The normal rate is 100 rupees (£1.30) but a virgin is sold to the highest bidder for anything over 20,000 rupees. If she is very pretty, the community would hope to get up to 40,000 rupees. For this, the man can have access to the girl for as long as he likes – several hours, days, or even weeks. When he tires of her, there is a celebration. Because it is considered unlucky for a girl to keep the money from her first time, it is spent instead on an extravagant party. Jewellery is bought for her and for her relatives, goats are slaughtered and alcohol runs freely. There is dancing, and offerings are made to the gods.
Once a girl has lost her virginity she cannot marry. The choice has been made and the community celebrates it – this is her non-wedding night.

Anoop The Expert On Indian Cricket And Hockey
I got this from one of Anoop‘s comments on my post long time back. I just can’t imagine now that Anoop can write a long comment like this. Hehehe… So here it is:
well..I dont know if the Indian team is being selfish these days..their attitude seems a lot different…I just think a lot of players in Indian sport lack fitness and that affects their concentration..I dont believe there is lack of talent..
Imagine school….there is no emphasis on fitness and even young ppl who are serious in their efforts to be professional athletes have fitness sessions only on the weekends. It is only after a certain age (prob 15 or 16 if lucky), that they concentrate on improving fitness on a day to day basis. This is not enough….
Even in Indian hockey..in this world cup..india always took the lead but lost four matches in the last five or ten minutes… This is a serious problem and in cricket you really cannot tell if the player is tired..because if he is, he can still defend the ball and be happy..If he was fit..it would be another story. In kaula Lumpur..the poor boys in blue could not take the heat there and it was very evident… standing even in an hour of soaring temperatures can sap the life out of you..If you are not fit..no point!!!
The pitch there played the same during both innings..but there was a distinct difference in batting after the indians had fielded all day and then went to bat during the second innings!!!..why?? Pressure? i dont think so!
During the Chappel-Ganguly wars..just read some of the articles..Ganguly opposed Chappel cuz he could not take some of the tough training sessions..Chappel was bemused cuz he thought those training sessions were elementary..! Now you know why the Aussies are kicking serious ass!
Some Indian players look like they need Liposuction!..well cant blame them man…some of them probably had parents like some of us..he he..go to school..read books..do homework..what play??????? be a scientist!!!!! excercise?? who are you??? jakie Chan>????
Well as far as indian mentality is concerned..If parents did push their kids to fitness at an early age..chances are that the kid would bunk it anyway in typical rebellious fashion and go to CSI hostel ground and drink beer on the sly..Catch 22!
