Why-Fi :-Nothing wireless about it

Going back two weeks in time, I woke up to the horror of learning about an Iranian woman saved from getting stoned to death. Her crime,adultery. International outcries against such fatwas being meted out in pseudo-democratic nation were successful in saving her from the stones. But, she will serve out a life sentence that will prove to be a journey from a horny bed to a thorny one.In adultery, both the erring partners have an equal share.Sadly, only the fairer sex is unfairly made to atone for it for the simple reason of being a weaker sex.

Indian society, per se, sees adultery as a sin and a social boycott is always in the coming. The question remains whether anyone has bothered to get to the cause of such an act. Lust, say some. But, isn't it as human as love? Love is divine, lust is bovine,argue a few. But does love thrive entirely without lust? Bhagawad Gita preaches that one who conquers the senses conquers the world and merges with the divine. The same Gita acknowledges, that all senses, are a part of the Super Personality of Godhead.Why then, is lust seen with a red glass? The female, especially in India, is known to treat her husband as the master( I could change my opinion soon), as God and Parmeshwar. But, don't we blame God when he fails to deliver our materialistic wish-list? Only when there are gaping holes in a relationship can one see the first signs of a drift. A lack of proper understanding, a complementation of each other's weaknesses and unsatiating thirst for perfection often drive one to search for alternate fuel.It's foolish to believe that fidelity has sky as the limit.

Karan Johar's KANK tanked, owing to pressure from the Mahila sangh groups that argued, it 'Kould' trigger it off in India and a day would come when adultery would seem a perfect solution for failed marriages. Many put painstaking efforts to save their marriage and often end up paying for a lost battle.Instead, they tend to thrive on a monthly income and motley partner.

Someone ,wise like me, said, Love is like a bird. Set it free. If it comes back to you, its yours; if not, it never was. For people, who are entangled in a wireless(read 3G) world, love is never in the air. Air is now filled with Electro Magnetics. Then you might well say, Why-fi: Why the fidelity?

All this, after watching Raavan....agar pati ho Dev, tho biwi ho jaaye brave!!

Klosed for renovation

Tears circled in my eyes as I watched a hopeless Maradona trying to console his wards while trying to come to terms with this ignominous loss.Germans proved that they engineer great collapses apart from world class cars. Their defence was impeccable and attack had all teeth baying for blood. Diego's boys gave their life for attack but forgot to sniff their own backyard. Germans let loose their wolves and so came the goals. Mueller'e header seemed like a flash in the pan but Klose made sure those flashes set fire.His two pushes to the goal post seemed effortless and broke a million hearts.On the other hand,Messi's shots found the spectators. The Germans pushed, pulled and held him back with all the force in the world and now, Messi shall rest in pieces. Maradona would have joined the 'Kaiser' in being the world' only two players to have skippered and coached a team to World Cup glory. But, he was a better captain,perhaps. The match was so close that it was just a case of 'ifs' and ' if only's left for the blue white stripes.

The presence of German Chancellor , Angela Merkel, added special flavour to the German victory.Though, this one will not influence German voters in the coming polls.

Despite a 4-0 scoreline, Germans exposed a few chinks in their armour and will find David Villa aiming those in the upcoming semi final clash. But, the same score says Achtung Baby. So better watch out. I hope Diego is retained for the 2014 WC He will need another term to earn his stripes.Then,my kid will be a fan too.
