Around The World

Hello all, let's sip a cup of tea and check what's going on around the world.

World cup soccer on full swing. If you haven't caught the fever, just mingle with your friends, no doubt you'll be infected too. US clinched to the next round in last minute. A slicing kick to goal by Donovan, when there was just 3.5 minutes left to go, was a big moment for US soccer fans. But when I finished writing this blog, Ghana has already defeated US. I love the custom in US that you watch game with few beers. Not because Budweiser sponsor major sports events in Television, may be because you don't feel the pain of loosing. European soccer fans shall consider following this custom.

While BP is eagerly awaiting that something will happen to turn media focus off the rig at Gulf Coast, but unfortunately no luck. Even world cup soccer is not helping them. Look at the impact it has created. 9 lives of people, environmental, industrial, political, and all sorts of effects. The complexity of technology involved in off-shore drilling questions if they are equipped well with safety measures. May be every industry has this kind of risk which probably might have never happened before.

The entire world surprised at Bhopal verdict in India. The surprise is that it took 26 years to come up with a verdict. No doubt that any crime won't be remembered longer, and thus helps reducing capital punishment. Wowwwww, What a nice strategy!!!!!!

iPhone version 4 released. Every version of iPhone is getting popularity like Windows use to get for its every version. Hey, Guess what, the big byte of this version is that it is 25% percent thinner than its recent predecessor. Never thought obesity is a problem among smart phones!!

Porn sites are getting xxx domain!!! Hey, that is discrimination. I feel bad for this industry and site owners, who dedicated their life to provide an outstanding service to Internet, and now become victims of domainization!!!

A.R. Rahman, the Indian icon and world's renowned music composer, is currently touring US for concerts. Despite the recession in US, I heard the concert ticket prices are expensive. My first question to concert promotors is, "We are in recession. Do you accept grocery store coupons?". If they do or not, we still wish them JAI HO(May victory be yours)

New Year Resolution

Guess, what could be the 2010 resolution of celebrities around the world:

Tiger Woods - I would like to be the best husband in year 2010, not sure who is going to be the wife!!!

Citibank CEO - We'll continue to pull investors from Middle East as long as they read our share price value(as of today $3.67) from right to left

Goldman Sachs CEO - I did God's work in 2009. I wish to do the same in 2010, until Goldman enjoys Fed support.

Iran President - Human Rights is at top of my list. Uranium enrichment is at the bottom of my list. We'll hit our goals starting from the bottom of my list. Besides, I'll continue to capture headlines in US News media.

Pakistan PM - I'll work towards making Pakistan, a free terrorist country...Hh...ooops...sorry for the incorrect phrase, I meant 'terrorist free' country

iPhone - Never expected to be a celebrity of this stature. Unlike Woods, I'm very honest to disclose that I had affair with too many folks, last year. I'll continue to seduce more people this year as well.

President Obama - Move Wall Street from NY city to Washington,D.C, didn't happen in 2009

Sarah Palin - Be a media friendly person, not in cover page alone.

Hamid Karzai - Afghanistan will emerge as a new nation flushing all terrorists and corrupted leaders to neighbouring Pakistan

Bernard Madoff - I'm awarded 150 years in prison, so I don't have any resolution in specific!!!

Michael Jackson Ghost - I'll take revenge on Dr. Conrad Murray for putting me permanently in sleep, even after I told him that I need to wake up after an hour.

Reform HealthCare!!!!

It's so shameful to learn that nation's most serious issue to be resolved, has become the stage set for several actors to play their roles. First, the representatives divided as democrats and republicans, prefer to treat this as a battlefield. Second, the insurance companies continue to put pressure through sponsoring organizations fuelling the animosity. Third, The American media is more focused on polls to measure the success of Obama's every consecutive 100 days of his term. Finally, the tax payers, who has seen no ending of this drama.

The health care system reform has always become the point of controversy. Of course who care about a citizen's health as long as it gives enough fuel to debate and talk about. The unemployment inching towards double digit. Those who lost job can't afford government subsidized health care program. Those who have jobs can't afford rise in health care premium cost, sky rocketing every year, besides cut in benefits. Always the insurance company has upper hand to decide what kind of treatment one is entitle to. People with prior medical condition, insurance company consider them as a fixed cost and try to avoid'em. Does this system make anyone happy? Of course, it feeds the balance sheets of insurance companies and comply with corporate America's policy of make PROFIT at any cost.

Isn't it the time to reform health care system, then it is not too late. Isn't it the government's primary responsibility to ensure every citizen can afford health care? Millions of Americans would like health care system to be reformed, but do their political representatives realize this? The system is in intensive care unit, that require some sensible bipartisan conversation rather than show-up their revenge against each other.

You might have heard this statements at political stages:

"A patient in UK walks in and out of the hospital at no cost"
"Drugs cost far less in neighbouring country of Canada than in US"

"Why does health care cost so much in US?"

This are arguments fired by politicians before they get elected. Remember, statements and promises cannot reform a system. People expect sensible action that may not solve the problem, but at least doesn't worsen the situation. If Auto and Financial sector were given life using tax payer's money, why not the representatives come together and reform health care system that can benefit tax payers, who has helped bring stability to economy.

Conscience

Every person has an inner sense. English dictionary list the word 'conscience' , referring to this sense. In reality, your conscience would think alike or contradict with your thoughts. Let's take a guess on the conscience of this celebrities around the world.

Obama: Oh Boy!!! I'll would have had a better life in Hawaii, than being in midst of this mess. I've spent more time with Treasury Secretary Geithner than with Michelle

Saddam Hussein's Ghost: Woooo..Ghosts are suppose to take revenge. Now it's my turn to take revenge on Bush and Cheney!!!

First Lady Michelle Obama: Hmmmm...Given Obama's personality, I'm worried if there will be a second lady at White House. No replica of Bill Clinton's period!!

Bank Of America CEO: Please don't throw shoe at me for the Merry Lynch deal. I deserve sandals.

George W. Bush: Damn, I don't beleive this polls!!! How can I be referred as the most unpopular president ever, when I'm elected twice to whitehouse.

Ar Rehman: Jai Ho!!! All you need to win an oscar is work in a western movie.

Hillary Clinton: I aimed for a President post, but I'm offered the Secretary of State. My next run for President will not compromise for any other post!

AIG CEO: How come a CEO alone can be blamed for a company's failure? Where did this regulators go all this year? We've been dealing with credit default swap for long!!! How can you expect the CEO to know the risk of this products while the Phds, who invented this, themselves don't know.

Iran's President: Thanks to Pyongyang, now the americans focus will move away from Iran. I should make use of this opportuity and quickly move all nukes to basement.

Joe Biden: I think I exaggerated the impact of swine flu , making a statement such as 'avoid air and subway travel'. I've to change my primary physician who gave me the incorrect information. Next time, I better keep quiet, as Cheney used to.

Person I: Hey, what's going on, every company is laying off?
