My encounter with cops in the United States

Are they really to help the public? This is the question that rises in my mind immediately when I see a cop. I feel a cop in the United states is only there to exhibit his authority. If he is really there to help people out why is it that no one feels comfortable to talk to him. Its always scary to encounter a cop. Puts his car on the way, glows his irritatingly bright lights even in the darkest hour of the night, puts them on for a long 30 minutes even when he has to talk to the so called culprit for just a few minutes. 
One day, I was standing in the MV office in a long queue. There was only one guy working though there were five counters. This cop guy walks in, looks around, I hope that he's going to help the confused people in the room, instead he takes out his phone, starts having a nice chat, probably with his girlfriend describing how lousily he's having fun in his job. Why doesn't he go out and put a call to the other guys in the counters who have gone for lunch more than 2 hours ago.

There were times when I was stopped on the road by a cop. The first one was when I was talking on a phone while driving, that was the only time I forgot my blue-tooth at my home. I was also late to office so I called up my company to inform them that I am going to be late. This guy comes behind me, glows his lights and stops me. He won't listen to even one of my words. Gives me a ticket and says have a good day. How dumb of him! how would I have a good day? The second guy catches me when I was speeding. I agree that its' a mistake. He asks me what I do and when I say him I am a Solar research engineer he says he doesn't have any idea what is Solar. Oh common dude, which world are you living in. Who in this present day be a guy who doesn't know what solar means. I guess there was a competition that was held to elect the dumbest of the people in the United states and the guys who came first were selected to be cops.

Floods in South India and the Government's attitude

Last month there have been severe floods in the southern part of India mainly in the states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Many people have been killed, some lost their homes. The losses were huge. The government did say that they were going to support the people. Everyday in the news it is said that either the Chief minister or the Prime minister is going on a survey to the flood hit areas. What they do is they are going to fly in a copter and have an aerial view of the flood hit area. Does it really help? how would someone know the suffering of a person in a place where the so called public servant is not even putting his footstep over there. The officials enjoyed their air trip and gave their routine speech saying they would allot so many thousands of crores of rupees to the affected. I bet a major fraction of this money goes into the pockets of the officials in steps. Let me try putting this in more clear words. The head of the country say the Prime minister gave 10000 units of money to the state government. The money would travel through the pockets of so many ministers until it goes to the state government and becomes around 8000. This 8000 would go the head of the state then to the finance officials of the state and it would automatically become 6000. This 6000 might go to the people but am not sure.

One more interesting thing that the government did is they asked the people to donate money. One question that raised in my mind is what are they going to do with the money. obviously giving money to the people over there would be a dumbest thing to do because what would they do with money. They cannot go shopping! So I guess the government would buy some clothes, utensils and provide them. If this is the case, why isn't the government asking the people to provide clothes, utensils etc. This could directly go to the flood affected. It would save much time too. Why are they asking us money for donation. I don't want my money to go into the pockets of any minister. I really want to help the people. I would donate whatever other than money.

Governer post in New Jersey

Oh its Governer's elections in NJ today. Well, I expected Christie to win this time because its the democratic in the white house so its got to be Republic in NJ. Anyhow, all the foreigners would vote for Corzine and expect him to become the Governer again. But truly speaking Corzine's rule was a bit tough on people. They lost jobs, the taxes were high, tolls were increased but well he had a reason to do it. But its always been like that, NJ was a costly state to live in. People need a different rule so I guess most of the votes might have gone to the Republican. My fingers are crossed right now as are those of the Nj residents. Lets see what has to come.

My writing samples

As I said in my earlier posts, I love writing. I write poems in blank verse and also some essays. Most of my poems are real life experiences and they deal with a person's feelings and the thoughts that go in his mind when he experiences something unusual. My essays are about things that happen to me. Simple descriptions which are easy and enjoyable to read. As time goes I would post some of my poems and essays for you people to read on.

Bad economy! Who cares and who does not

Everyone talks about the bad economy. Even if they are affected by it or not. Why? Well, I don't have any problem if people who lost their jobs because of it, people who are unable to get employed or those who aren't getting a rise or getting promoted are talking about it but what about the higher percentage of people who are happy in their jobs getting every pay check without any problem. When you see them talking its as if they are really concerned about whats happening. I say, people just want something to talk about. They are excited to see people losing jobs, the stocks losing their values with time and the government getting cursed every time because they are getting stuff to talk about. Why do they are?

James Bond movies

From childhood, I have been hearing about James Bond movies. I never saw them though. The first one I saw was this Quantum Of Solace. Believe me, I did not understand even one scene of the entire movie. Well one benefit of doubt that you could give me is that this movie is actually a sequel to Casino Royale. Once you haven't watched the earlier one, you wouldn't get anything out of this one.

So recently I have got this rapidshare premium account and I started downloading all the stuff that I see which has rapidshare links. I try to make use of every penny I spent to buy the premium account. So on one of the websites I found this Bond movies collection. I downloaded all of them. One more thing that pushed me into downloading them was this Blu ray print of each movie. Well, Some of the links did not work so I searched for those movies on google and downloaded them too. I have all the 22 Bond movies now.

I am a Pierce Brosnan fan. So I watched all of his Bond movies and then I started watching one by one starting from the first Bond movie Dr No. Well, I must say, though Dr No is the movie which came in 1962, all throughout the movie I never felt I was watching a 47 year old movie. I was at the edge of my seat all the time when I was watching. Bond movies really keep you interested.
