Irony of the Malayali calendar

In Malayali calendar today is 4th of Chingam: a happy new year 1185! No wonder some can't enter the 21st century -- we're stuck in the 12th!

LOL!!!

SRK detained at d Newark Airport

SRK detained? OMG dont these guys know who Shah Rukh is? have they gone crazy? This was the most common reaction after the news broke about him being detained for 2 hours.

If we see from the point of view of that security official the person is just another South Asian guy who wants to enter USA. It is his job to interrogate each and every person they feel may be compromising America's security.

SRK rightly said that the issue is being completely blown out of proportions. Whether he meant it or not I dont know. But in the press conference he held at Mannat after returning from the US he was so precise in answering all those questions put forth by the media. The one answer I really loved was... "I dont want to seem pompous but Shah Rukh Khan does not need publicity stunts to stay in the limelight" after being asked whether he was doing this to promote his movie My Name Is Khan which has a similar theme.

For many of us in India, it is a status symbol if you are being allowed to pass through any security checks whereas in America they dont give a damn who you are.

We Indians also need to adopt such strict measures at all places to ensure the security of the citizens. One must remember that on adopting such stringent measures there have been no terrorist attacks on America after 9/11.

APJ Abdul Kalam was frisked by United Airlines officials which was totally uncalled for as he is a former president.

One thing that the Americans can do is become a bit less paranoid and as SRK said "upgrade their system" so that the names of innocent people dont pop up on their computers.
