…

Just came across something really interesting on CrackBerry.

The thread was about how to edit settings on the phone to have the SIM number displayed on the screen. Solutions and suggestions were offered by the users, but this one response got me chuckling.

The guy wants you to ASK HIM for his BB PIN, but has absolutely no issues putting up his phone number on a public forum!!

When the moderator pointed out that this wasn't such a good idea, Shaolinfinest replies:

I would have requested permission from Shaolinfinest before putting up the screenshots, but… ahem. I guess it is pretty obvious why I didn't feel the need to.

Pak Judge May Visit India

"

Pakistani judge Syed Mazahar Ali Akbar Naqvi probing the murder of Indian death row convict Sarabjit Singh may also visit India to complete the judicial inquiry. …The one-man inquiry tribunal has appealed to Indian nationals having information about the matter to file written submissions with relevant documents within seven days. The Indians are required to get themselves registered with the inquiry tribunal at its official website, said Riaz Ahmed, the personal staff officer of the judge. Ahmed said the judge might visit India in connection with the inquiry if he feels a need.

Err…

• Sarabjit Singh was imprisoned in Pakistan (since 1991).
• Sarabjit Singh was attacked by inmates in a Paki prison.
• Sarabjit Singh was treated in a Paki hospital.
• Sarabjit Singh died in the Paki hospital.

Now… what possible information can any Indian national residing in India have 'about the matter'? If some Indian national does claim to have information - s/he could also be accused of spying!

The world is being overrun (and run) by idiots!

Karzai Seeks Indian Military Aid Amid Tensions With Pakistan

"

KABUL: Afghan President Hamid Karzai plans to discuss potential arms deals with Indian officials during a trip to New Delhi this week, officials said, at a time when tensions are running high on Afghanistan's disputed border with Pakistan. "Afghanistan has already agreed and signed a strategic pact with India and based on that agreement, India assists Afghanistan on several grounds, including the military sector," Faizi said. "In order to strengthen Afghan security forces, we will ask India to help us with military needs and shortages," he said.

High hopes.

Doesn't he know that the Indian government doesn't seek Indian military aid even for its own issues with Pakistan and/or China?! Guess he doesn't read the news. How is this for an example:

The government was rigid in its view that the Chinese army must vacate and pull back, but some things have changed on the ground in eastern Ladakh and it will take a while to figure out if the new posture is permanent … …This means Indian forces will not seek to mark a presence — as they have been doing in recent years — in an area they see as India's side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) well within its claim lines [Link].

INR 10 Billion Nirbhaya Fund… What's Happening?

In February 2013, the Finance Minister had allocated INR 10 Billion for the Nirbhaya Fund. Most of the general public cheered the move. It was evident that they had not bothered to read the news item beyond the headline. I did read the article and couldn't understand what all the cheering was for!

I had put up a post highlighting how idiotic the allocation was, given that at the time of the announcement - the Finance Minister admitted that the proposed fund had no defined structure, scope or application!!

So, what ever happened to the Nirbhaya Fund? TOI reports:

"

Five months after the violent December 16 crime outraged the country, there is no clarity on which of the ministries — finance, home and women and child development (WCD) — should be given the administrative charge of the fund. The only headway since the ghastly incident occurred has been setting up of a taskforce to create an institutional mechanism for the fund announced in the Union budget as a measure for women's empowerment. "The taskforce has been set up but there is no decision on who will spend the fund. Reports and recommendations can be prepared but there must be political will to execute good intentions,'' a source said.
