Or as they say, Bal Bal Bach Gaye in Native Indian languages is what happened to Your's Truly today !
We had this all IT team away from office at Manipal County. The whole affair got pretty boring around noon, Heavy lunch may be partly balmed for this, Also no beer ! So 3 of us decided to head out of there and grab a couple of beers.
As we were driving somwhere near BTM layout, My colleague who was driving veered to the left and braked to a standstill at an intersection, and right next to us this huge lorry comes full force and bangs on to another lorry standing ahead to the right of our car, That lorry went and hit the car ahead and the car went on to another Auto or Bike fellow.
It was just a matter of 40-50 Secs, if my good friend had not veered to the left, We would have been in between the two lorries, And looking at the damage the lorry caused to the other lorry it hit, The Santro we were in;Did not stand a chance ! Phew !
Eyememyself had commented on my earlier post that losing footwear brings luck, Well never imagined that one shoe getting stolen would save 3 lives. Thanks "Eye..." :o) how i wish i had lost both of them !
Beer tasted a lot lot better after that, Believe me ! So enjoy every drink :o) You will never know which is your last !
I have heard of Don't Drink and Drive ; Today the reverse was also true, It was as f God was saying " Don't Drive to Drink as well " :o) Par hum toh tehre Besharam !
Moral of the Story : All Office functions,get-togethers, parties should serve Beer, So employees don't leave early to fend for themselves !

And It Happens Again....
First things first, I have crossed 50 blogs , Half century and i dint even realize. I am quite proud of this achievement !
Now back to the point.
About 7 months back, I had all my footwear stolen; Read about it here : and today the most wierd thing has happened. Some guy has flicked one of my reebok sneakers, Ya ! Not the pair, but one shoe ! Dumbass, What will he do with one shoe, And Jerk... What do you expect me to do with the other one ??
My wife thinks its not a thief but some dog who would have carried it away, but i ask is the dog so smart to leave 3 pairs of my her sandals and chappals which were much more accesible and choose my shoe only ? on the same lines as the incident that happened earlier ?

Who has the Right Answers?
The Mehtas who are in the news for submitting a plea in Mumbai high court to abort thier 25 week old baby had thier plea rejected yesterday.
Does it end there? Are such questions or situations of life plain black and white? Is this the end really ? Or is this just the begining ?Who is right here?
The parents, who have only good intentions for a child unborn and wish that they dont want to bring to life a baby who in most porbabilities would be plagued with health issues.?
The Judiciary, Who feels this amounts to Euthanasia and should not be provided as an escape from a situation which would have many medical solutions given the available medical options for people who are born with Congenital heart and other health issues ?
Given that the high court has rejected thier plea, it is all but evident now that the baby will be born. The parents and the world can only pray that it has the least suffering if the poor thing really has to undergo the birth defects but hope that the baby comes out hale and hearty and surprises the world, which some doctors have claimed is a possibiity too.
The most astonishing part would be how would the Baby judge all those who are debating what is right for him/her. As and when he/she grows up to an age where it will start understanding and realising the past it carries even before it were born.
If the child is born healthy or with minimal health problems, which are easily corrected with a pace maker or any other medical marvel. Will it thank the Judicial system for giving it a chance to come into this world and experience it firsthand and will it Hold it against its parents? The hard fact that they tried to abort it and did not want to bring it into this world? That they did not want to give it a chance ? Will relations change? Will there be confrontations?
OR
God forbid the child is indeed born with many birth defects that life is more of a punishment than a pleasure. Will the judicial system claim reponsibility for the suffering the young one may have to go through? Will the child question or curse them for not having given the right to its parents to have excerised the extreme step they had embarked to take?
I guess no one will ever have the answers. Or maybe there are no answers.
