1) I underwent CATARACT Surgery this week. Procedure done and dusted 30 min at Karthik Nethralaya. Dr Ravindra, a 35 year veteran in the field did an awesome & painless job.While walking in terrace yesterday,as it was raining, Lalitha covered my head with my Handkerchief!! When I posted the picture in Whatsapp group, the EID Mubarak greetings as response,were astounding!! Many times,I joke to strangers that I am a Muslim (in Urdu, Of course) and Lalitha is an Iyer Maami and we eloped!People believe it and are in shock until Lalitha pricks my lie bubble!!! ehehhehhe!!!

2) Speaking of rains, it has been pouring non stop everyday evening from 5 to 8pm thus hindering my walk in the evening / listening to podcasts! The Rainbow was awesome! Nature has its own way of manifesting its beauty! Only now a days we don't have time for it!

The Trump-Kim meeting produced its own share of news, views, Meme!! hahah!!! Kim Jong Won was classic cover of Economist!! Needless to say, Kim got the legitimacy that has been missing to his Grandfather and Father. I am not sure how much of bargain he would keep up! Trump has risked his presidency! But knowing Trump Flip Flops! He would shrug and move on should the deal fail!  Singapore played a perfect role as host to bridge the two leaders! They did a fabulous job, no doubt!

Singapore Cabinet meeting Trump!! 4 of key ministers were of Tamil Origin! Modi Mudevi wont take any one from South, (English  வராதே) except Gujjus!! So much complaint / dissent brewing on his Gujaratisation at Delhi (Whether they capable altogether another matter!!)  hehehehehhehehehheh!!!!

Balakrishnan, Kim, Kung ( education minister) 

It was heartening to read that CEOs are now taken to task for employee Suicides! France always sets the bar in employee assistance program. This week ex CEO of Orange is sued for the depression and other harassment related suicides in 2008 during economic meltdown! Overall, CEOs now a days are sucking up to board members, and cant show any hint of dissent! (When they cant show dissent to their fucking wife how the fuck they wd do in public?- political correctness is now the order of the day) I cant remember one CEO of note in the last 10 years!! Horror word is very kind to these filthy bastards! India!! oh don't tell me! Spineless fellows!! One Cyrus Mistry had a bit of dissent; he was booted out! Candour wont carry you far in 2018! 

Watch this Video! If this is not  Daring" Super catch in mid air", nothing is!! 

With Football on, We have long nights and interesting matches! Here is a great Video on VAR, the newly introduced Technology! This got France the Penalty which Referee otherwise missed.

Some Football Memes
It's hard to win against Russia when you know your Family Members are being held hostage somewhere.

Miss Messi Hhehehhe!!

Housekeeping:-
1) I am back from a trip to VAPI! Gujarat. hahhah! 3 days, met 30 people,hardly any speaks Gujarati. Far cry from 80s when I had to master it to survive? Is it a good Sign? I wonder??? If I had gone and settled now in Gujarat, I wouldn't have picked up any Gujarati........

2) I stayed for a change at Hotel Ginger. (I usually never change Hotels in cities) this time Hotel Fortune which I usually court is full due to marriage season. The rooms were good, and food service met my expectations. Yes,the service was a bit slow!!

I have started reading Jordan Peterson's latest book, 12 Rules of life! An awesome book. I am able to relate many aspects that have been worked in our way of life. (In fact he quotes few Hindu Scriptures!). A must read for any one who looks at course corrections in life! Jordan's interview with Cathy Newman is a must watch! Sometimes, woman can nagging and I am amazed he kept his cool during interview!

Awesome, to see Saudis joining the civilised society by granting license to women to drive! Better late than never!! Ahlam becomes first woman to receive the licence! Well done! It was interesting to see few women driving without license in outskirts of Jeddah /Riyadh for years without accidents or getting caught!! MBS is accelerating the change!! U bet!!!  Interesting that Foregin female residents too now get a chance to Drive!! 

This week World Cup Football begins at Thug Russians Land! Thankfully Russia wont go beyond first round! Fraud Fellows!!! My 11th!! (I started watching /hearing from 1978 when Undeservingly Argentina beat Holland)! For me,1994 final was heart stopping when Roberto Baggio kicked over the bar! No other final has lived up to the expectations. ( May be 2014 but dull) 1994 World cup also special memory as Son was born, so every 4 years, his birthday comes during world cup! This year it is England vs Belgium! My prediction is Germany may retain with Egypt and Belgium as dark horses.

Waking up to the news of Charles Krauthammer has only weeks to live! For a conservative like me, he is the right kind of mix to offer opinion based on issues without preconceived notions and getting stuck to it come what may! That is symptom of fanaticism. He was against Trump presidency despite conservative and republican leaning! I am reminded more of Last Lecture by Randy Pausch!! Wishing him a peaceful departure as and when the maker calls him!

Randy Pausch July 25th, 2008.....

Enough of gloom doom! Let me leave with some funny Memes of our Dumb ass, idiotic MODI!! hehehehehhe! What a lousy bugger we have chosen as PM!!! hmmm!!

This video just awesome! Some one Loathes Modi bugger more than me!! ehheh!!

Take it easy, take care!

1) Amazing Fog in the month of May. It poured cats and dogs over good 6-7 hours yesterday evening. Google Home Donut Shop is around. I plan to have a look.

Airtel upgraded their Modem for my internet to VDSL Router with 16Mbps. Awesome speed. I would never take Reliance even if given free!!!

It was disappointing to see that Trump summit with Kim got cancelled. I beleive for a change, North Korea told the truth! Mike Pence is most idiotic shoe licking Vice President USA ever had. You see his speech, count how many times he mentions "President Trump"? You would have lost count! Even our stupid Indian politicians never took so much our Dumbshit Modi bugger now or Congress on Mrs. Gandhi 1970s. The cartoons are awesome, this takes the cake.

Interesting data! More people are killed by Mosquitoes!! Horror! Bill Gates foundation must be commended for such a tireless effort against Malaria. Hahhah Our Hindu Goons would have even some adverse comment on that! These fuckers spare none!!! Fighting diseases are beyond religion calls! Whoever comments, be Hindu, Muslim fanatics deserve at most contempt!!  

Hhahhahh! Fell off Chair!! 12 hrs a week!!! Dad didn't spend 12 min for me, nor me 12 seconds with kids!!!! heheehheh! Joke of the century for me!!!

Tonight Champions League Final!! Classic sporting finale!! The timing are such that you can't be awake to watch!! I wish Liverpool all the very best. They are capable of upset!! 2005 was class as was 1981. 
You'll Never Walk Alone, Indeed!!!

2005 Final 3-0 down, 3-3 and then penalties!!

Take care, stay Safe

1) This week completes,10 years of Registering "Amritkala" It is Lalitha's sheer determination and guided missile concept. (It was another 12 months before we moved in)! The ups and downs these 120 months has been staggering!!!All, I can say the worst is over and enjoy the stay. Just months in to purchase, 2008, Global economic crisis shook my job (It gave awesome resilience) I must tell you!!

2) Doctors here said, Mom when she left for Muscat said, the clean air there would do wonders to her health!! Imagine Mom saying to me this week, (5 days after landing) that she has no cough, no breathlessness etc!! Goes to show how much contaminated our Environment is????

It would be grave injustice If I dont write about Karnataka outcome! My Face book posts have covered some.  The Myth that Bastards/Bakwas Jumla party is with difference is gone to cleaners!! They want to grab power at any cost for the booze, mining money that would be spinner for 2019 elections. As this article points out! 

Interesting to read this Economist Article on How SM overindulgence can lead to Mental issues! I totally agree!! Stay away from interaction as much, even then have lot of safeguards as to whom you want to engage with!!

3) Savage Mothers, hahahh! BOY!! Thank god I escaped my time!! I am sure some mothers wd be such!!

Gina Haspel confirmed First Female Director of CIA!! 54-45!! What was interesting was out of 22 Lady Senators, only 9 (7+2) voted for her!! 11 out of 13 Democratic Senators rejected her nomination! So Women won't rally around another woman for a cause! Hillary also another example. Very clear, we wont see a Female POTUS for soon!! It was astounding to see all Intelligence agency (CIA, FBI, NIA, NSA) rallied around her and called her the best person to lead the agency. 

hahahah!! I leave with some MEME!! BJP celebrated too soon!!

Till, next week, take it easy, take care.
God Bless Karnataka

Housekeeping:-
1) Mom flew out to #Muscat this week. Indigo was of great help in her transit at Bombay. But I am surprised now a days International bags are not through checked when she did at Hyderabad. Wonder why? 

2) Lalitha and I tried Metro on our way back post our annual health checks. It was seem less transit at Majestic. The crowd was massive even at 11am. While the time taken was same, it is a very cost effective way for travel. 

It is a Political earthquake in Malaysia. Who would have thought that the ruling party which governed the country for last 60 years lost out! Dr Mahathir was a major catalyst in the process thus becoming the oldest leader to govern a country at 92. The role played by Anwar Ibhrahim who is in prison to rally the opposition to unite is massive. Of course, the corruption was so much (4Bn$) that even Malays like stupid Indians put up with corrupt politicians felt enough is enough. It will be interesting how the opposition parties who are now in power, take the country forward as different groups have come together putting aside their differences to defeat the corrupt government. The ethnic divide Dr Mahathir created is too much of a rot/divisive, so wonder how they shall overcome? 

Donald Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have sort of pulled a coup. The meeting at Singapore on June 12th would be an event which world would watch with battered breath. To imagine such an event even 3 months would have been idiotic as people would say! I think Trump's aggressive stance worked and people realised he is not a guy to work politically correct stance. I wonder if Kim would give up his nuclear Arsenal for economic growth? Interesting times ahead! This meeting reminds me of Regan- Gorbachev summit of 1980s!! 

I am about to finish James Comey's book. One of non fiction /biography which goes at a speed of Fiction. Comey has given lucid account of working of FBI, Leadership qualities and justifying why he did what he did, which appears very convincing!! Another leader, who owes his success so much to his wife and women leader!! (Like me???? ahhahah). His account of Trump is not flattering, but not surprising, I agree Trump like Indian politician has developed an entitlement and works such results matter! 

Wow, 45 years back this happened at EUROVISION contest!! tonight you would find a winner at Portugal. The competition has spread many a miles and instant access. 

This is awesome video! U blame Muslims that they say Allah for everything !! hehehhe! Gujju's god worshipping is frightening!!

This video is going viral!! hahahahhH!! They have converted this to MODI as event happened in Nigeria.

Here are some more MODI Memes! heheheh!! Veluh!!

Hahhahhahh! Dr Swamy is losing his sense off late!! But when you are with MODI everything wd go downhill !!!

1) Cousin is getting married today at Madras,the last one of our gen to get int to wedlock.We couldn't make as it is not 1 year since dad passed away!She was 1 year during my marriage. Goes to show gap those days between first and last child (even in my case 12 years)......Gayathri is representing the family. 

2) This week marks the 25th Wedding day for my sister Gayathri, I was going through old pictures, got this!! She was caretaker for Radhu at Karaikudi 1992, and dad would beat her in trademark towel bashing (Roll towel and smash) if Radhu cries even a bit!! hahahhah!!!! என்ன திண்டாட்டம் திண்டாடி இருக்கார் அப்பா!! ஹஹஹஹ்ஹ்ஹஹ்!

3) I saw this photo in Sky news of baby Charlotte kissing Louis the new born prince, Nothing like the elder sister brother!! Radhu was so possessive of her brother!! hahahhah!!!

Shravan Radhu 1995!! Time flies!!!

This week Jet Airways completes 25 years of Flying in India. I remember my first flight in 1995 Hyderabad to Bombay ( I was living Ankleshwar incidentally May 1993 was my first flight so 25 years of flying). They set very high standards for flying and taking Jet flight domestic or international was pleasure to look forward. The workmen agitation ( I think 2005 or so) dented its image and it never got back the elite image. Even last week, in my 9W 477, toilet didn't function at ground!! India that is problem reaching top is easy but staying there is tough. Still great airliner to fly.

The great Ratan Tata father of Indian aviation coming out first flight 5th May 1993. 

I am so glad the Russians have taken to streets denouncing Thug Putin, this on 200th birth Anniversary of Karl Max. I wish them success and dethrone that Crook. Tall order but not impossible. I loathe communism and it has always brought evil and trouble. In a sense China denounced and moved on  ( Not to the extent of BJP they worse) 

I am not surprised that Trump organisation is engaged in rampant corrupt practises in INDIA! Lodha with whom Trump Inc is associated has all cases dropped. They prime sponsor to BJP and Goon Modi. 

“In India or other countries,” Painter said, “it seems to give the impression that if you do favors for the Trump business, you get favors from the U.S. government.”
