make me shut up plz!!

i am an extremely unhappy person these days...i rant so much abt stuff happening in the rest of the world to my colleagues that they are ready to kill me....

first, i go to the lab on a beautiful san diegan morning and yap about how shameless musharraf is bcoz
1. he is an incumbent president using an official visit at the height of military tensions to sell his stupid book.
2. apparently, we started the kargil war -- the nerve of the guy to say that
3. sensationalising every stupid thing possible
4. comes on jon stewart (ggrrrr) and tells his thot process after 911 -- apparently, he considered pakistan's options if they were gonna fight against america after 911 (yeah right!)

i went on about this for more than 5 minutes and my colleague then points out to the new pakistani intern sitting right behind me...of course, i apologised but still...cant i just shut up for once?

like this was not bad enuf, i read about the school seige in colorado. i had just recently seen bowling for columbine and heard on jon stewart or something about the new president for the national rifles association...so, i get real worked up and went on and on about the lack of gun control in this country.

my colleague gave me a stare and asked me to shut up. now, do i need the rest of the world to ask me to shut up? y dont i know it myself...

i blame it mostly on the nonavailability of my nalam virumbhis online to vent my fury...its ALL bcoz of u ppl!

Global Day for Darfur

am not sure if i was not watching cnn all these days or something but all the iraqistan coverage totally blocked out any coverage of the rest of the world...i also wondered how bbc had not covered any of this...it then struck me that there is a tab at the side that has news from africa...they had it all there...of course i knew abt the genocide there and all...just that i didnt realise the extent of damage till i read more about it...its appalling...anyway, this is my bit.

save darfur. read about the issue. today is the global day for darfur.
