Another superstar dies early. I know only Michael Jackson from the Western Music- not for his famous songs or his dancing skills but the controversies he always courted. I am not a fan of Western music. I know no western songs. Still the death of people like Michael Jakson and now Whitney Houston makes me so sad. Good people, they say, die young. May their soul rest in peace.
Along with the sad news of the demise of Whitney Houston, there was another peice of news that was quite disturbing. Crack, a form of cocane. It is said that the pop star Whitney Houston was addicted to crack.

The General's case has been disposed of. Curtains to an unavoury episode in Indian Army's history. Though prima facie it may look like the General is right, a close look at the case reveals that the General has agreed in writing twice that his year of birth is 1950. There were reasons too. If he did not agree with this DOB, he would not have perhaps ascended to the top post of the army. So, after taking advantage of the seniority, now he wanted extension of his tenure by an year.
The Supreme Court delivered a highly appreciable judgement. As the court said, wise men are those who sail with the wind. It took a court to remind this to this big Babu! The General should have avoided moving the court on this issue. Anyway, all is well that ends well.
This case has been concluded in a few days. What about those cases that is lingering on in various courts across the country for so many years? Who cares for that? We still hear news about court proceeding on 1993 Blast case, Bhopal Tragedy, Uphar Tragedy and countless number of litigations filed by poor and helpless people. Urfortunately, no one looks to have any urgency in this regard.

21st century bombs have come to our courtyard too. The Israeli Embassy staff's car was blown up using a highly sophesticated bomb. Who did it? No clues yet. As Israel doubts, it could be the handiwork of either Iran or the Hizbolla of Palastine. Hope the picture will be clear in the coming days.
Meanwhile, another bomb is almost ready in Tehran. The purpose of the nuclear mombs being readied in Iran is highly suspecious. Despite all isolation and embargo by the international community (US and the European countries), they could make it. Now, it is a matter of time to see that they used it!
