I have been thinking about something lately and just want to share... As a regular habit I read newspaper and all around there are news of crimes.. and I wonder do we really have a better system today as compared to our forefathers to stop crime or rather to stop criminals. As a matter of fact this is highly debatable because I don't know what was the crime rate at that time or is it just the information overflow that makes me aware of all the crimes.. but still let me share my thought..
Well some time back I was reading an article on criminal psychology which argued that punishment can not stop crime rather it just motivates the criminal to evade it.. And the current situation is very much like that only, criminals evade punishments..
So I was thinking If we can design a punishment that can not be evaded and then I thought of GOD, and imagined that our ancestors must have been really intelligent to come up with the concept that If some one commits a crime he would be punished by GOD.. Here I am not arguing whether the GOD exists or not but If somehow this notion of crimes being punished by GOD can be imbibed into everybody.. maybe they will not commit the crime... because they can no longer evade the punishment..
Lastly I wold like to refer to the incidents of humans trying to evade even the divine punishment for sins by bribing priests, holding rituals and so on and so forth.. Though I am not concluding anything but just think if the origin of the concept of GOD is just a plan of our ancestors to design a punishment that nobody can evade ...

TOW All Lost
Sunday was a bad day.. really bad..
Ok before I recollect what was bad about Sunday.. Let me discuss TOW, I got lot all the seasons of friends from a friend. And all the episodes were named like TOW xxxx..
After some time another friend told me that TOW stands for "The One With". so taking a cue from that I named this post as "The One When" All Lost. (I have been watching lot of friends lately)
So the crux is that yesterday was a great weekend for a sports freak like me (F1, Wimbeldon final and Asia Cup final) and naturally I was supporting temas in all of these tournaments but alas all of them lost..
In F1, I was supporting Ferari, but they could not make to the podium.. :( Though the race was really eventful .. lot of spinning (because of rains and wet track) and only 13 drivers could complete the race. First disappointment of the day.. more were to come.
Asia Cup, India did well to restrict Srilanka below 300, but they could have done better, Had RPSingh caught Jayasuriya when he was at 50. But still the target was totally achievable on a flat pitch that saw targets of 300 chased with ease.
India started off in style with Sehwag in a punishing mood and raced to 74/1 in 9 overs. But then SriLanka used their new bowler (branded as new Murali) and one of the most formidable battling line up collapsed like a pack of cards. The best players of spin had no clue and India lost by huge margin. Another disappointment but the worst was yet to come
Wimbeldon, the castle of Roger was at-last conquered by none other than Nadal. What a game it was.. A truly see-saw battle between two great fighters.. But in the end Roger lost and so does BigV (lost a costly bet). This was a total heart break. Roger was not at his level best but then to he gave a fight to Nadal. And to be truthful I dont line the game of Nadal, Though he is the winner but his game is not as classy as that of Roger, rather it is more of hard work running around and just trying to sent back the return (though he has improved a lot in that as well). On the contrary Roger is pure class, only problem with him being his backhand which is not very strong. And Nadal used this deficiency of Roger to the full extent directing every ball to the champ's backhand. In the end Roger lost and I must say he tried extra hard for each point which deserves accolades. But the bottom line remains "Jo Jita wohi Sikandar" and that was the biggest disappointment of Sunday.
PS: Never want a Sunday like this :(

Skype Rocks
On Saturday, I was successful in my quest of connecting to internet from home. Yes!! At last it was done..
So in the evening I was (voice)chatting with Bunsa through gtalk, when suddenly he came up with the idea of a conference.And as per my knowledge gtalk doesnt support that as of now, so he asked me to install skype. And there after we tried to call a lot other friends as well and started the conference. There were around 7 people me, bunsa, chetan, chandan, sahu, pawan, and Kushagra Sir for some time. Tried to call others as well (atuls, ngles and sajan) but they could not join. But anyway .. it was great to talk to old friends. And then bakar started.
Time seem to melt away and It was same as it wud have been 3 years back in campus in any of our rooms. Amazing environment.. we have not changed at all.. Everything was same as was during campus days.. recollecting memories.. talking about anything and everything. It was amazing. We were in conference for more than 4 hrs. The power of true bakar lies in the fact that u never know how much time u have been bakaring for.. And I had a gr8 time.. Awesome
I am looking forward for more of such conferences. :)
