When one gets sick and is tied to bed for a week, one can’t do much but watch ‘tv’ & ‘think’. Think about the sickness, medication, home, family, finances & life! One tends to become more philosophical during this phase.
Two important things happened during this week. First and foremost, my 4 year old daughter went on rides on her own.
Secondly, I watched my first IPL game and to say it was amazing would be an understatement. I saw Bangalore playing Punjab and Chris Gayle making a century in 45 balls. His inning was just spectacular. I am not surprised why everyone in India is so hooked up to IPL. But given a choice I will still watch 50 over game.
Also there was news of some terrorist named Osama Bin Laden getting killed by US Navy SEALs in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He was living in a mansion 40 miles from Pakistani capital, next to a Garrison town. He defined the new millennium by attacking America and killing over 3500. He globalized terrorism. To say he was a person is wrong. He was a ‘belief’ and the people who saw him as messiah (God) carried out attacks in different parts of the globe killing innocent people. That’s why I feel that White House should release pictures of his dead body. So that people who ‘believed’ in him could see that he was no ‘God’ but a freak who killed people in the name of religion. He bleeds just as any other psycho who thought he was a superior being. But I do understand why White House doesn’t want to publish his pictures.
Not that it wasn’t clear before, but now it’s for the world media to see how in-competent Pakistani government and there intelligence agency (ISI) is. There is no doubt that Pakistanis knew where OBL was all this time. He was there cash cow, because as long as he was not caught Pakistan knew that US will keep pouring billions of dollars to Pakistan in form of aid, $3.5B a year to be precise. That’s almost 7% of Pakistan’s GDP.
Sorry Gandhiji, but in this case, ‘Revenge was Sweet’.
