Found any Missing Nukes???

800px WMD world map.svg Found any Missing Nukes???A news reported in The Times of India,

Pak puts out ads: Seen any missing nukes?

Washington: A series of unusual ads in the Pakistani media advising people how to handle missing or stray radioactive material should they come across it has raised hackles in the West and revived a debate about the country’s well-chronicled reputation for nuclear irresponsibility and adventurism. The ads, which appeared last week in several Urdu-language newspapers, featured the large, yellow radiation symbol and a warning to report any lost or misplaced isotopes, according to Nature magazine which first reported the matter.

Though they claim that none of the nukes, or radio active materials have been stolen/lost, everyone has a cause of worry, the A Q Khan proliferation episode. He being the spear head of Pakistan’s Nuclear venture, had apparently given designs and plans to Iran.

The erstwhile Soviet Union had also some of these issues. They finally ended up as a cluster of nations. So do we see history in the remaking? With the current Balochistan conflict and the POK issues, i see a white streak…

Women: The reason for Road Accidents

Well trust me on this. You’re taking this from someone who has survived the Hosur Road(The Infamous Hosur Road), so you have every reason to believe this.

Basically there are 2 types of Women. The first group, the ones that drive 2-wheelers and cars. I havent seen any drive buses and trucks, may be they are busy driving their guys icon smile Women: The reason for Road Accidents . And the second, the ones that donot.

Nothing wrong with the ones that dont drive? You are totally mistaken. Wow!!! Bangalore is indeed the ‘Garden’ city. Mid-rise jeans , Minis, short-tops, rouge, 32-28-32 on a bike … how can a guy drive properly, but adore. If u see a pileup, or a heated argument between an auto-driver and a car driver arguing on whose mistake was it when the car hit the auto from behind. You hear then at the top of their voice, auto-driver “I braked coz of the traffic in front of me”; car-driver “u came out of no where”. The real reason, one of those seemingly benign creations of god must have been spotted by the sidewalk, or crossed in front of the auto. Simple!!!

Now the ones that drive, again of two types. First type, they drive with their legs popping out of the mopeds, making the moped a 2 wheel-2 legged vehicle; or the snail-drivers in cars, biting their lips together and a tensed look as if they are having a sub-critical nuclear bomb in their trunk.

These people cause minor accidents as motorists approach them at slow speed to adore them or for a quick glance. If she is what we call as a “bomb-shell”, then she will have a huge escort of bikes and cars, traffic police think as if some VIP is coming over. Bikers, they stick to those vehicles like swarm of bees. Everyone moving in for a quick peek.

Now the worse ones, the expert women drivers. They drive with such balance, elegance than most men, you wont believe your eyes when one passes you by. They drive with such authority, they master the roads where ever they go. Something most men cant do. And the worse accidents happens while chasing these sparrows around. Some ended up having their ‘last’ peek too… And i have seen 2 ladies, who drive their Honda Activas at 70+kph on Hosur Road at the time of morning rush hour.

Mommy, I had SEX at school

icon smile Mommy, I had SEX at school .. just imagine you hear this from your toddler on returning from school. The H.D.250px Soudha Mommy, I had SEX at school Kumaraswamy government is trying to avoid the occurrence of that dialogue. His ministry has said NO to sex education at schools.

At a meeting chaired by education minister Basavara Horatti to elicit opinion from social activists, NGOs and experts, the majority opposed the move on the ground that teachers themselves were not in a position to teach the subject.

Freedom fighter H S Doreswamy, a participant at Wednesday’s meeting, criticised NACO and UNICEF programmes which target students in the 15-17 years age group.

Ok! its not that i’m against the process. Its Karnataka for god sake!!! Here people burn air-conditioned public Volvo Buses when accidents occur, they kill each other when their favorite actor dies and the biggest enemy of their existence is not Pakistan (some relief for pakistan i suppose), but its Tamil Nadu.

A place where the ignorance of the people is played upon by evil politicos, its better for Kumaraswamy to avoid sex education at schools.

I still dont get it. POLICE is to server and protect. So why should they forcibly close down pubs and discos by 11 saying that its unsafe. Are they here to protect. Ohh i forgot the night duty police man has to sleep.
