Few days back i was watching a documentry on Mumbai terror attacks on NATGEO..and wondered What happened to the sole survived pig, Kasab..Nothing.. He is in jail enjoying indian hospitality..Bastard kasab has been given lawyer by our great judicial system to prove that there is justice in india… fu**ing idiots.. instead of putting 2 bullets in his head we are spending millions on that a**hole’s protection..that pig has been complaining about food and his living conditions in jail.... And then this news that you and I, the Indian tax payers will be paying Rs 2,500 per day to defend that terrorist makes me so angry... The trial may cost Rs 30 lakh or perhaps Rs one crore or more will depend on how long the trial lasts.. Think of the cost of security at Arthur Road jail, salary of the Judge, every other man involved and more important TIME loss...Again we citizens had to bear the cost of the Rs. 2-crore tunnel connecting his Arthur Road jail cell and the special court, a Rs. 6-crore van and the fees for his lawyer... It is not just the money... It is the sense of sheer frustration... The world saw this terrorist firing bullets at the Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus on 26/11... There is CCTV footage, eye witness accounts and his confession made in court...He is guilty!... Hang him for God's sake... Don't let every terrorist think India is a great tourist destination for them... When we say Atithi Devo Bhav it does not apply to terrorists... Let's not forget that...Now this guy says and cries that he wants to meet his mom in Pakistan and tell her that he was mislead by LeT , my question to him is did he give time to people to call thier loved ones when he killed them mercilessly... He was crying when nobody picked his call when he wish to speak to them and what about all those 200 odd people did these bastards give them a chance before killing them? werent they sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers of somebody or the other? are we waiting for some militants to take some hostages and ask for his release?..what are they going to do to this AJmal Kasab??? Lets demand a speedy trial and subject him to a very horrific punishment which nobody can even think of and which would give nightmares to all the people who were trained along with KASAB. This is not only the embarrassment for police system but all india..Are there any hopes.. NO..Is there any future.. NO..

celmi talk..

Celmira has started saying so many words these days. Its really amazing.

Everyday its a joy when we hear so many new words in a her own unique complete sweet totla way.

She tries new words so earnestly, curling her lips, and looking expectantly at us, as we help her pronounce it. Then we clap and cheer her, and she will squeal and clap & laugh and be very happy about it. She just picks it up so quickly.

Last night she so pleasantly surprised me by saying "bubbles bubbles do na please, please please" oh, it was so sweet, she formed an entire sentence and that too saying please thrice, how could anyone in the world reject such a request!

Mamma daddy love you betu..

There are 2 words we are trying so hard to teach her
(1) What is your name "Celmi"
(2) "love you"

Guess we are trying too hard.. Before we know, she would be saying all of this, and much more..

My new haircut....i am just loving it...!!!

when you are living away from home... far far away from home... and something bad happens back home... it leaves u feeling so helpless.... not to be able to help or offer comfort or do anything.... its scary not knowing and not being able to know.....a little information is a dangerous thing....last week my dad got a mild heart attack..disaster at home is more of a disaster than anything much worse...it shakes u.... it shakes u out of your comfort zone!
