And so they said...

Far away in New Jersey, the psycho guy enter a church with a revolver and shoots his estranged wife and in the process kills one person who tries to save her and injures two others. All of them including the psycho and his wife are from Kerala – settled in the US.

Now let’s see few of the comments posted by certain people in the US in response to the news. This including the whites and the ‘immigrant’ keralites and Indians – according to the vocabulary of the whites.

‘In India, he would get away with killing his wife for leaving him. Only problem for this perp, he is not in India and will now have to spend some time in prison. This is just another example of how arranged marriages work. If she doesn't stay and take abuse, kill her. Every American should have some say in who is allowed to come to our country. It is time that we be allowed to vote on where we want migration to our country to come from and have say in who we want as next door neighbors. Immigration is not the problem; it is who we are allowing to migrate that's become our problem’ - by DH

The following guy was born and bought up in the US – a keralite. Such a dumb ass and ignorant dimwit

‘First off as a Keralites I do not see this as an honor killing. Second off finally Keralites have something to be proud off, finally a mallu who has done something that puts him in the news with out it being winning some stupid spelling bee. Third god rest her soul she probably had it coming because I know off alot off women South Indian who marry for there green card and leave their husbands. How do you know this girl did not do it for the same reason? She comes to the east coast and from what I hear she was pretty tight with the guy that got shot. Her husband being a man just could not take that. And finally the I am sorry to say the rest of the malayalees make me sick here you have 200 people in the church this guy comes in with a hand gun and no one else jumped in to nab him? He probably had 3 shots left. No instead your crying and weeping like that dude on the picture what a loser. You may be my people but you make me sick.’ – by AT

‘To AT, mister tough guy, I wonder when you get pulled over by the cops, do you mouth off at them or do you just sit quite like a wimp. Do not judge other people, unless you were there yourself…….’ – by KK

‘Yo KK, I do not know you and you do not know me. I am a tough guy and all that and people respect me for it do you know why?? Because what you see is exactly what you get. I am a tough guy because I earned my self respect!! When and if I get pulled over by cops I use my judgment and if the cop is a a **** then HELLLZZZ YA i am gona mouth off to him or her. What you never fought and beaten cops? I have fair and square in NYC in the boxing ring. SO BACK OFF IF YOU DO NOT KNOW ME!’ - By AT agin.

‘judging by their last names they sound like a bunch of immigrants. I wonder if theyr all here legally’ – another idiot

‘ Hey man you may know of only a few Indians, and as you said every Indian is different. You do not know me at all to say I have insulted my race. You have your view I have mine in this blog or forum I have expressed myself. Who are you to say that I am wrong? Who are you to judge me? I can mouth off when I want to the laws of this country give me the freedom to do so and I will mouth off when I want to and if I feel I am right. As far the Indians who you know that do not mouth off to cops or what that is their choice. I was born in the USA and raised between India and USA raised with both cultures, I have taken the best of both worlds. I learned in a young age man to defend what you believe in at always because its better fight for what you believe in and die for it rather than just exist. Going to school here where I was the 1 of 10 Indian kids you learn to fight and defend yourself very quick and as far as mouthing off I do that when its necessary.’ – AT again

I feel sorry for guys like AT. Neither here nor there!

Bits and Pieces...

Due to my infamous indolence, even though I had a couple of things to write about, I did not bother to sit down and write: ‘no tomorrow, no tomorrow……’ I keep saying to myself and it goes on an on till I zero in and do it at last!

Coming to the nitty-gritty of the ‘happenings’, here are some of them:

* Cartoon land: Sources say that AA has not left Dubai as he had claimed he would be instead he has joined another company and is killing people there with laughter- his laughter!

* Twinkle Twinkle little Star, how I wonder What You Are?’ – The company is currently decorated with stars hanging themselves from the ceiling as an indication of our latest promotion – intended motivation for employees to perform better for the quarter – but with a lot of loopholes to ensure that none of them get the money promised. Very tempting prizes like a company paid trip to Thailand etc etc! However, the promotion has been baptized with an apt name – ‘Star’ Promotion- something that you can’t reach!

* Got my ‘visum’ ATLAST!! My much needed break is therefore around the corner for SURE.

* Incase anyone of you want to meet King Khan i.e Sharukh Khan, all you got to do is call up this radio station in Dubai where they have a contest running for the most extraordinary love story! So incase you feel your love story is extraordinarily extraordinary – call the RJ and you and your partner can fly along with her to see Mr. Khan – provided you win and your story is not extraordinary just for you but for the others too- because we all tend to feel our love story is the greatest of them all and extra – ordinary!!!

* The winter has finally arrived in Dubai with the rain. And they were playing such boring songs on the Radio – chak dum dum – chak dum dum from Dil to pagal hai – give me a break!! They play that every year! It was followed by a string of flop songs. I switched off the radio and drove home peacefully listening to songs on my ipod.


Chak dum dum chak!!
