A strange title. As usual as I was reading through different RSS feeds through my account in Google Reader, I came across some interesting posts which I thought I’ll share.

Hence the title.

1) So called ‘witches’ beaten up in Jharkhand and paraded naked through the streets – this is seriously wrong and something has to be done about it. Education will be a good place to start to change the viewpoints of people. How can we help?

2) Modern man is a wuss – this is a claim laid by an anthroplogist. Why? Because, technology has brought down our strength since we depend on technology for a lot of heavy duty work. Apparently, even the Romans could beat any one of us, including Arnold Schwarzenegger or any bad ass man, easily.

3) Real life Harry Potter goes through hell everyday. Why? Because no one believes his real name is Harry Potter and he has to carry multiple identity cards as proof. Blame Rowlings?

4) 15 most brutal methods of execution – Wooo, this one is bad. Real real bad. Execution methods include the Guillotine, and a lot of others which I had no clue about, like the Brazen Bull, Slow slicing, etc.

To touch up more on the meet. This is an Iron Maiden pre-concert blogger meet. As Karthik says, “Calling all Maiden fans to the “Heavy Metal Bloggers Meet” here in Bangalore, the day before the famed “SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME” concert by the Gods of Metal!”

Ah, what a great news this is. At last. After such a long time. It feels good to know that we can give other people a run for their money at other sports. When I mean other sports I mean other than cricket and hockey.

(BEIJING, August 11) — India’s Abhinav Bindra won the gold medal in the Men’s 10m Air Rifle in Beijing on August 11 with an incredible performance in the final. Bindra shot a total score of 700.5.

Hakkinen’s (bronze) performance in the final was solid, but it needed to be better. He averaged 10.14 per shot in the final, compared to Bindra’s 10.45.

A day after eight blasts in Bangalore, another bomb was found near the Forum Mall in Koramangala, one of the IT city’s nerve centres.

The police have now blocked traffic to the entire stretch and are now searching the area.

The live bomb, which was found near Forum Mall in Koramangala area, was planted by a man of 25-26 years of age this morning, Bangalore Police Commissioner S Bidri told reporters.

“We received information this morning at around 10:45 am that an unknown person wearing a red T-shirt placed a bucket like object. We immediately sent the bomb disposal squad to the site which successfully defused the bomb,” Bidri said.

The Police Commissioner added that the bomb contained material similar to the one used in yesterday’s blasts.

The IT city continues to remain on high alert after yesterday’s blasts. Security has been beefed up in areas with high density of population, defence and space establishments, the State Secretariat, the High Court, IT firms, railway stations, bus stops and the airport.

Some advise to people in Bangalore:

• Stay indoors today
• If you have to absolutely go out, stay away from public places as much as possible (malls, theatres, bus stops, markets, etc.)
• Keep in touch with your relatives / friends and
• If you see any suspicious looking objects or person(s) be on the alert, move away from the place and then call your nearest police station or the police control room to 98440-51677 or the police head quarters: 99805-10137
