Murder They Wrote....

The recent attack on the Sri lankan team left me stunned and livid as to why would terrorism chose to advance in such direction?? It started off as a war against the west, against those who they said were foreigners, then it radically declared it was the war with those against Islam or more like, those who have belief in other religions. Yet, in the Mumbai attacks as well, more Indians were killed even though they apparently took the trouble to question most of the foreigners and take a peek at their passports. Reason being...India's rapid progress on most fronts. Which leaves me to wonder what their motive really is?..too me they look like a confused lot of sorts willing just to kill as a means to earn a living!..well not the preachers, but the doers ofcourse!

Pakistan till now has not completely owned up to the fact of the militants being as their own nationality, in order to disconnect themselves and their nation, from any link-ups. And yet again, after the attack on the srilankan team, few hours later, there were few ministers present who conveniently said they had sufficient proof (in such less time) n had to have their first words with the media….stating that India were behind the attacks …thus starting the blame game! Quite Frankly, I think if India had to hit anyone we know who wud b foremost on their list!!..no guesses there ..what so ever! ....Even though a few police officials lost their lives in the attack…most of the victims and witnesses present knew for a fact that the security forces, accompanying them, had deserted them in their time of need. Ironically, the President of the PCB was the first to declare such allegations as false. Some would have thought that the President (PCB) himself was present during the attack..or was he trying to label the match officials as liars!!??!! Either way, the amusing part of this whole episode was how cleverly or should I say effortlessly, the militants got away with such murder by just riding off on their bikes towards the nearest routes/hideouts!! …as easy as that huh?!..I think there’s no question that Pakistan should be blacklisted and declared a terror state, in my opinion, and in answer to such question posed by a certain member of the Indian Times. But the plot that leaves me to ponder is, if by any minute chance that Pak staged this attack to showcase it as being parallel to the one in Mumbai?! Or if the LTTE was sending it out a message of their own?!..and if either one, are we to find out about any time soon!!!...well mayb the govt. should appoint the GEO TV cameramen to do futher investigations as they seem more competent behind the camera than those holding positions & in their uniforms!

Love My Gadbad!! :)

One of the specialties of Mangalore, Karnataka.....in India, is this ice-cream parlour known as Ideals. Ideals is well known through out south india for its special flavours n combination of ice-creams with waffles, fresh and dry fruits, nuts and sauces. The Gadbad ice-cream is the all time favourite which never dies out!! its the classic ice cream one can hope for at Ideals!! We happened to spot it on the menu of this restraunt called Athena (being manglorean)..and to my delight i found it even better than the original!!...mayb because it had loads of Jelly, nuts and dry fruit with sago and vermicilli in it!!...and yea how can i ignore the fact that it wasy way bigger than the one they serve back home!! :))

Now doesnt that look sinful!!....hehe...take a better look below!

As we were already done with dinner my girl friend, Lo and I shared it!
