Judging & Hating




There are a couple of things that do bother me from time to time. Bitching might be healthy to some extent but one can’t say this about hating & judging. And some mortals very conveniently kill the person they can’t stand. I’m sorry to say but Only abnormal people can have issues with beliefs & choices of another person.

I do support LGBT & the main reason is that I don’t see the point as to why someone should be bullied for a personal reason. I also don’t see the point of judging these people. I don’t care what they do is normal or abnormal. I just feel it’s wrong on the part of people to bully them to the extent that they end up coming suicide. After all, we are not God.

I was not shocked when I read about Stuart Walker’s murder. In fact this guy was beaten, tied to a lamppost & burned alive. The reason for this madness was his sexuality. He was gay & so some people thought they might as well kill him. One can neither be amazed or shocked. All we know is that some people hate so much that they have no problem in killing anyone who is not like them.

Jamie Hubley was a 15 year old kid & he was open about his sexuality. Naturally he was bullied on the net as well as in school for being gay. This teenager committed suicide. He also used to run a blog named “You Can’t Break…When You’re Already Broken.” He was very young & the name of the blog clearly suggests he was hurt beyond repair.

School life was not just difficult but unbearable. They used to call him vicious names in the hallways & online. He wrote on his blog:

"I hate being the only open gay guy in my school… It f***ing sucks, I really want to end it. Like all of it, I not getting better there’s 3 more years of high school left, I’ve been on 4 different anti -depressants, none of them worked. I’ve been depressed since january, How f***ing long is this going to last. People said “It gets better”. Its f***ing bull****. I go to see psychologist, What the f*** are they suppost to f***ing do? All I do is talk about problems, it doesn’t make them disappear?? I give up."

These are 2 just examples but there have been innumerable victims. Some have been killed & some prefer committing suicide rather than leading miserable lives. I have often heard & read that it’s a choice to be gay or normal. But I think it is something natural. How can you help being attracted towards someone specific? Anyhow it’s disgusting how people kill in the name of God-knows-what. They kill you for having different views. They kill you if they believe you are a sinner. They kill as if they are deriving some sort of satisfaction. It’s all very ugly & low.

Good-looking men
























Message from Colonel Mu’ummar Qaddafi


Translated by Professor Sam Hamod, Ph.D.

Recollections of My Life: Col. Mu'ummar Qaddafi, The Leader of the Revolution. April 5, 2011.

  In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful...

For 40 years, or was it longer, I can't remember, I did all I could to give people houses, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food. I even made Benghazi into farmland from the desert, I stood up to attacks from that cowboy Reagan, when he killed my adopted orphaned daughter, he was trying to kill me, instead he killed that poor innocent child. Then I helped my brothers and sisters from Africa with money for the African Union.

I did all I could to help people understand the concept of real democracy, where people's committees ran our country. But that was never enough, as some told me, even people who had 10 room homes, new suits and furniture, were never satisfied, as selfish as they were they wanted more. They told Americans and other visitors, that they needed "democracy" and "freedom" never realizing it was a cut throat system, where the biggest dog eats the rest, but they were enchanted with those words, never realizing that in America, there was no free medicine, no free hospitals, no free housing, no free education and no free food, except when people had to beg or go to long lines to get soup.

No, no matter what I did, it was never enough for some, but for others, they knew I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and Muslim leader we've had since Salah-al-Deen, when he claimed the Suez Canal for his people, as I claimed Libya, for my people, it was his footsteps I tried to follow, to keep my people free from colonial domination - from thieves who would steal from us. Now, I am under attack by the biggest force in military history, my little African son, Obama wants to kill me, to take away the freedom of our country, to take away our free housing, our free medicine, our free education, our free food, and replace it with American style thievery, called "capitalism," but all of us in the Third World know what that means, it means corporations run the countries, run the world, and the people suffer. So, there is no alternative for me, I must make my stand, and if Allah wishes, I shall die by following His path, the path that has made our country rich with farmland, with food and health, and even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers and sisters to work here with us, in the Libyan Jamahiriya.

I do not wish to die, but if it comes to that, to save this land, my people, all the thousands who are all my children, then so be it.

Let this testament be my voice to the world, that I stood up to crusader attacks of NATO, stood up to cruelty, stood up to betrayal, stood up to the West and its colonialist ambitions, and that I stood with my African brothers, my true Arab and Muslim brothers, as a beacon of light. When others were building castles, I lived in a modest house, and in a tent. I never forgot my youth in Sirte, I did not spend our national treasury foolishly, and like Salah-al-Deen, our great Muslim leader, who rescued Jerusalem for Islam, I took little for myself...

In the West, some have called me "mad", "crazy", but they know the truth yet continue to lie, they know that our land is independent and free, not in the colonial grip, that my vision, my path, is, and has been clear and for my people and that I will fight to my last breath to keep us free, may Allah almighty help us to remain faithful and free.

  c: Col. Mu'ummar Qaddafi, 2011/05/04

Libya & Gaddafi...Facts that can’t be denied


Well I have been reading in different articles that Gaddafi was a dictator & he has been compared with Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Stalin & the likes. All over the newspapers for 2, 3 days, they keep on painting him as a bad guy which only reflects their own agenda.

This is what someone has posted on FB (in fact Dirgha Raj Parsai is the one who mentioned all these points in his write-up ‘A Great Nationalist Hero- Muammar Gaddafi’) & I would very much like people to know it. Although I’m sure the question that will pop up is: if he did so much, why did people kill him? The answer is simple. People take everything for granted. They are so literate & everything was so easy that now they want to become another Afghanistan on this globe.

Anyhow here are these are the points that not a single newspaper had any time to cover cause they were more busy in choosing badly injured Gaddafi & how he was humiliated at his last moment.

1. There is no electricity bill in Libya; electricity is free for all its citizens.

2. There is no interest on loans in Libya as banks are state-owned.

3. Home is considered a human right in Libya.

4. All newlyweds in Libya receive $60,000 Dinar (US$ 50,000) by the government just to help them start up a new life.

5. Education and medical treatments are free in Libya. Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans are literate. Today the figure is 83%. In fact under Gaddafi's 'jamahiriya' direct democracy regime, the country's literacy rate rose from 10% to 90%, life expectancy rose from 57 to 77 years, employment opportunities were established for migrant workers, and welfare systems were introduced that allowed access to free education, free healthcare, and financial assistance for housing.

6. Should Libyans want to take up farming career, they would receive farming land, a farming house, equipments, seeds and livestock to kick- start their farms – all for free.

7. If Libyans cannot find the education or medical facilities they need in Libya, the government funds them to go abroad. In addition, financial support was provided for university scholarships and employment programs.

8. In Libyan, if a Libyan buys a car, the government subsidized 50% of the price.

9. The price of petrol in Libya is $0. 14 per liter.

10. Libya has no external debt and its reserves amount to $150 billion – now frozen globally.

11. If a Libyan is unable to get employment after graduation the state would pay the average salary of the profession as if he or she is employed until employment is found.

12. A portion of Libyan oil sale is, credited directly to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.

13. A mother who gives birth to a child receives US $5 ,000

14. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs $ 0.15

15. 25% of Libyans have a university degree

16. The Great Manmade River was also built to allow free access to fresh water across large parts of the country. It has been the world’s largest irrigation project.

17. The country was developed without taking any foreign loans. As a result, Libya was debt-free under Gaddafi's regime.

18. The Economy of Libya was centrally planned and followed Gaddafi's socialist ideals. It benefited greatly from revenues from the petroleum sector , which contributed most export earnings and 30% of its GDP. These oil revenues, combined with a small population and by far Africa's highest Education Index gave Libya the highest nominal GDP per capita in Africa. Between 2000 and 2011, Libya recorded favourable growth rates with an estimated 10.6 percent growth of GDP in 2010, the highest of any state in Africa. Gaddafi had promised "a home for all Libyans" and during his rule, new residential areas rose in empty Saharan regions.

If this is how you terrorize your people, then Gaddafi deserved this kind of death.

This is the man who has been called a tyrant & a cowering rat at the time of his death by the media. Some of the headlines have been: ‘End of Tyrant,’ ‘No Mercy for Merciless Tyrant’ ‘That’s for Lockerbie,’ ‘A tyrant meets his end,’ ‘Death of a dictator’ etc etc.

One of the papers says:

"For 42 years Colonel Gaddafi terrorized his own people..and the world. Yesterday, he died as he lived, shown no mercy as he pleaded for his life.."

They have very correctly said that he was a dictator for all those imperialists who wanted to capture Libya. Of course Gaddafi had faults just like anyone else but one shouldn’t forget what he did for his country.

Jalebi Bai - Double Dhamaal



Jalebi Bai from the movie Double Dhamaal is just another number that had to be put up in our collections here.
I am a little confused whether I like it or dislike it. My sane side tells me I'm not really going to fall for a song named Jalebi Bai ever :P but I also have a feeling this song won't be ignored.

There are always an audience that loves such music and songs. Therefore, Jalebi Bai will make space for itself.

However, I don't want to be biased as I do feel Mallika Sherawat looks pretty hot in this song. Her figure, hair and over all appearance is pretty awesome. She definitely steals the show. Compared to her appearance in Razia...I give her 10/10 for Jalebi Bai.

As for the movie, since I am not a fan of the Dhamal and Double Dhamaal series so there is nothing that I can really contribute on that. But for all those Jalebi Bai fans, you can enjoy the song one more time.

David Gandy


















David Gandy has been the most interesting discovery. I didn’t know that he existed till I started searching for a pic of a guy who looked wicked & sexy. We needed that photo for one of our characters in Going Bananas.

Anyhow, David was born in 1980 & you would be surprised to know that he was bullied at school for not being very fashionable.

David Gandy also writes a blog for Vogue where he discusses his modelling and extra-curricular work such as his love for cars.

He is ranked # 2 in The Money Guys. He won his 1st modeling contest in 2001 but he was not that successful in the beginning of his career.
