"Sicko"

Hi,
So Michael Moore is back again.
This time the insurance suffers.
If you have not seen his "Bowling for Columbine" it's high time you saw it.
Ignoring the message of that movie has lead to a bigger campus massacre than Columbine.
Coming to "Sicko" ,which was premiered in the Cannes Film Festival and due for release on 29 june, it is a severe indictment of the American health care system which is driving costs towards the sky while at the same time denying the needy. In typical Moore style the movie exposes the real picture which is often hidden from us by the "mainstream" media, which of course is owned by the rich and the powerful. Hmm! if I speak like this may be Mr. God' s representative on Earth will send a couple of CIA agents after me.
Anyway I cant wait to see Sicko.
Among other news New Edition of Nelson is coming out next month.
My poor Bank Balance!!
And Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in July.
And I'm due for reading "The Children of Hurin" already.
Seems like busy days ahead. All about them in the next post, if and when that gets posted.
Bye for now,

Some Random Thoughts to start off!

Hi,
Now that my blog is up and running after a good beginning (a crashed firefox and a reboot - I know "windows" is like that, but think about firefox; may be windows is corrupting him. Time to think again about Linux)...
Ha ha very long and unfinished sentence. That's because I'm preparing for my Theory exam and National Board conducted a teleconference on how to write a good paper. ;-) .
Hope Arvind Sally doesn't read my blog.
Coming to think of it at present no one is reading it, it has barely started.

Starting My Blog

Hi,
I was thinking so long about an ideal start to my blog.
But I found that I kept thinking for too long.
Now I'll just start somewhere as usual.
