Angie and The Drug Den

It is amazing how your past can sometimes catch up with you faster than you can imagine and bite you. A United Nations ambassador who has been passionate about adopting a ‘large family’ from world over, an ugly chapter from Angelina Jolie‘s past has recently come to life courtesy of the tabloid magazine, The Sun

From back in 1999, a dark and grainy video of the lady who played Miss Lara Croft in Tomb Raider (twice over) shows Angelina Jolie sitting in the infamous drugs den at Chelsea Hotel, NY. Her hair is a mess and she occasionally rubs her teeth as she blabbers on and on with heavy eyelids. Beside her, another woman is smoking heroin.

She does not take any drugs in the video herself. Even though Angie has been very open about her ‘previous’ drug addictions and kinky sexual exploits stating on several occasions how she has experimented with a lot many drugs like coke heroin, ecstacy, LSD etc. She however states that she’s all clean now.

Perhaps it is not the confession of drugs that is shocking. Or even the fact that she’s sitting in that drugs den but what really makes your hair stand is what she has to say!

She narates how her mouse died after she dyed it blue – how her pet hamster died of pneumonia after she took it in to the shower with her – the way her pet lizards were left for a little too long out in the sun. She confesses to attempting to kill her pet snake as well and recalls how she was a ‘bad girl’ at the age of 12 and used to beat up her friends.

Besides her passion for killing her pets, the mother of 4 (and is currently pregnant with twins) also confesses to (or rather brags about) loving sado-masochistic sex and how she used to take part in sex games where someone was tied down or hurt terming it as ‘just a cool thing’!

Angelina Jolie Drugs Hollywood Gossip

News Links : May 19

Shoaib Akhtar and controversies go hand in hand I swear. It’s like this man was born to be the centre of attention; for all the wrong reasons!

Pakistan’s daily, The Nation, posted a story a few days ago regarding airport customs officials finding empty syringes in his luggage while he was travelling to India to play in the Indian Premier League.

Shoaib’s personal doctor and trainer, Dr. Tauseef Razzak dismissed the claims as rubbish!

Talk about Shoaib telling the Customs officials that he needed the syringes to inject insulin as he is a diabetic patient is not true. He has asthma problems and uses an inhaler, for which he has got permission from the International Cricket Council (ICC) 

We don’t know if all this is true or just plain old ploy being sponsored by the disgruntled PCB when they got kicked in the face and had to allow Shoaib to play in the IPL. Or maybe it’s the newspaper merely ‘creating’ a sensational gossip because they didn’t have a ‘real’ story about the speedster to publish.

I say leave the guy alone. He’s doing well and entertaining the crowds out there. Give him breathing space and let him do what he does best.

‘Working’ vs ‘Sitting’ Late!

I got this from a friend (Omer Jan) a while ago in my gmail inbox. This happens to be a mail sent by Narayan Murthy, one of the seven founders of the renowned Infosys Tech to the entire Infosys staff. Worth a read as many of us might be able to relate to it *chuckles*

————————
It’s half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on…  
PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing…  
And who’s at work? Most of them??? Take a closer look…  
 
All or most specimens are? Something male species of the human race…  
Look closer… again all or most of them are bachelors…  
 
And why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!  
Any guesses?  
Let’s ask one of them…  
Here’s what he says:

What’s there to do after going home…Here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee that is why I am working late…Importantly no bossssssss!  

This is the scene in most research centers and software companies and other off-shore offices.  
 
Bachelors ‘Time-passing’ during late hours in the office just becaise they say they’ve nothing else to do…  
Now what are the consequences…  
 
“Working” (for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture. With bosses more than eager to provide support to those ‘working’ late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback, (oh, he’s a hard worker, goes home only to change!). They aren’t helping things too either!  
 
To hell with bosses who don’t understand the difference between ‘sitting’ late and ‘working’ late!!!  
 
Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours. So, my dear bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and start having a family. Office is no longer a priority, family is. And  
that’s when the problem starts, because u start having commitments at home too.  
 
For your boss, the earlier ‘hardworking’ guy suddenly seems to become an ‘early leaver’ even if you leave an hour after regular time after doing the same amount of work.  
 
People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled as work-shirkers.
 
Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays though) leave on time are labeled as ‘not up to it’. All the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on ‘working’ not realizing that they are spoiling the work culture at their own place and never realize that they would have to regret at one point of time.  
 
So what’s the moral of the story??   
* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME!!!  
* Never put in extra time ‘unless really needed’  
* Don’t stay back unnecessarily and spoil your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.  
 
There are hundred other things to do in the evening:  
 
Learn music…  
Learn a foreign language…  
Try a sport… TT, cricket………  
Get a girl friend or boy friend, take him/her around town…  
And for heaven’s sake, net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.  
Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: “Life’s calling, where are you?”  
 
Please pass on this message to all those colleagues and please do it before leaving time, don’t stay back till midnight to forward this!!!  
 
IT’S A TYPICAL INDIAN/PAKISTANI MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC.  
 
PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DON’T KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME. SIMPLE! 

Regards,  
NARAYAN MURTHY.    

Fun Stuff: Break This Cypher!

The WeCite Blog is sending something your way in hope to work your idle brains in to a frenzy with this bizzare-looking (but in fact very simple) question in the form of a cypher.

Unfortunately there are no rewards for solving this cypher but hey, it’s worth sparking up those neurons 😉

 TMRNOM  HOSDDB  EFTRDE  SFHENR UIUDUS 

This cypher is based on a very famous cypher technique that can be solved by putting the contents of the cypher (yes the ones in blue above) in a grid and then reading it with a given key (see below). Once the cypher is arranged with a little bit of creativity, the message beautifully unfolds on its own right in front of you. Go ahead. give it a shot. 

The key to this cypher is: spiral inwards, anti-clockwise, starting from the top left.

Just a hint, the answer to the riddle within is a five digit whole number 🙂

Do we have a smarty pants in the house?

Objection Please…

Very recently I had the dis-pleasure of reading a post by one of the authors of the Islamabad Metroblogs that really ruined my mood. Generally, the Islamabad Metroblogs have had a very smart and mature breed of writers in their band wagon that have stuck to a very balanced citizen journalism. So it was sad to see their author by the name of Fatima humoring about the hightened security protocals at the Serena hotel in the highly volatile capital of Islamabad.

It wasn’t her description or rather explanation of her friend with a niqab and the text-book labelled “International Politics of TERRORISM” that is objectionable. What leaves a bad taste in the mouth is her seemingly evident sarcasm of the efforts and the security measures being taken to protect the lives of thousands and how she found funny the confusion on the faces of the guards.

As she puts it herself:

So there we were, two strange pedestrians walking up to the main gate of Serena, one of us carrying a huge suspicious-looking backpack, and the other dressed in a black nikaab and abaaya, brandishing a book about terrorism.

Why would you NOT be singled out and scrutinized when it is this very description that has been the cause of so many suicide bombings in the country? And she really does it in her closing statements by saying:

On the way out, my friend whipped out her phone and started making a video of the hotel. From their posts at the gate, the security people stared uneasily. But what could the poor dears do, after all? My friend and I laughed all the way home.

Do grow up child and respect the effort that has been put in to keep you and your friends safe from blowing in to a million pieces. Such irresponsible yap and that too at a place such as Islamabad Metroblogs that has made a name of itself due to its blunt yet honest journalism only goes to spoil its image.

Not only that but it is indeed sad to see how some of us are so naive so as to not appreciate the importance of such efforts done to our own advantage. Making fun of the evident panic that is caused by such stupid behavior as wearing a niqab and filming the hotel is not a joke. You really need to learn what is happening in our country.

NOTE: This post has recently been ‘toned down’. 🙂

Which Flirter Are You?

T H E     O C T O P U S

You use every limb available to you, usually at the same time. Boundaries are of no interest to you either. You ask the girl to marry you before you get to know her name, and can’t remember it once you are done with your arm exercises!

 

T H E     J E L L Y F I S H

You are so slippery that girls don’t know how they moved from coffee to lunch to your room! You flirt as a sport, prefer the chase to the catch, rehearse frequently and check your image in every mirror you pass by!

 

T H E     S T I N G R A Y

You hate predictable chat-up lines and stare intensely from across the room. You eye the competition while talking until your girl feels so insecure that you make the first move. However, if offered a lubricant (alcohol), you move from cool to crazy in less time than it takes to say ‘SHAKA LAKA’

 

T H E    C R A B

You flirt with every one equally! One minute you are laughing with her, the next you are reading or sending messages from your cell. You send an explicit text to our girl an hour after meeting her, then never text again. Though you are masterful at flirting, you are, in fact, amusing yourself. What you love the most is an audience with the limelight shining on you alone!

 

T H E     S H A R K

You open doors, pay for every meal, and send flowers with cute little cards. You stand up when a woman enters the room and offer everyone a lift home. You are an expert at what you do, moving about gracefully and quickly until she gets a sudden glimpse of your fin. By then, it is too late! Otherwise known as a cad, you are the master of one-night-stands!

 

So boys, which one are you then? 😉

DEATH SENTENCE FOR BLASPHEMY IN FIRST VIDEO TRIAL

A Lahore court judge has handed down a death sentence to a man accused of blasphemy on Wednesday, as well as a fine of Rs100,000 ($16,500). Defendant Younis Masih, of Chungi Amar Sadhu had been charged with making derogatory remarks against the Prophet Mohammad, an offence punishable by hanging or life imprisonment according to state law. However, the lawyer claimed the case against his client was concocted. Defence counsel Pervaiz Aslam Chaudhry said the trial at the prison had been arranged due to security reasons, adding that all evidence in the case was also recorded through a video facility.

The lawyer said the Christian community had arranged a spiritual gathering in Chungi Amar Sadhu in 2005 when neighbour Abdul Aziz, also a complainant in the case, objected to it. It turned into an exchange of harsh words in which the complainant alleged that the accused had used derogatory remarks.

The lawyer said that the case had not been investigated properly. He contended that the offence required investigation by an officer not below the rank of SP under section 156-A of the CrPC. But, he claimed, a sub-inspector had investigated the case. Chaudhry said he would appeal against the decision.

The court also directed the police to provide security to the lawyer who had been receiving threats during the trial.

Yesterday’s was the first ever blasphemy trial to be video-televised, which had been arranged at the jail due to security issues.

‘Bin Laden’ on passport spells trouble

Lebanese troops arrested four members of a Jordanian family after the surname bin Laden was spotted on one of their passports.

The passport belonged to Omar Samhouri, 22, an employee of the Saudi bin Laden Group, the construction firm owned and operated by the family of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. The family were stopped at a Lebanese army checkpoint last week as they were returning by car from visiting relatives in Tripoli.

Personnel of the seventh brigade panicked when they read the word bin Laden printed on Samhouri’s passport and all explanations by the family members did not succeed in convincing them that the occupants of the car were not planning a terrorist operation.

“We were taken to an intelligence post where we were interrogated for four hours and treated as criminals before the army commanders realised that we were nothing more than a Jordanian family who came to Lebanon to attend a wedding party, and freed us,” the father, Samhouri said.

Couple jailed for lying about husband’s sex

Pakistani court sent a couple to jail for three years yesterday on the grounds that they had lied about the sex of the husband who was a transsexual. The couple married last year, after the husband had undergone sex-change operations, but a medical team appointed by a high court in the city of Lahore found that the husband, Shumail Raj, 31, was a woman.

“There is sufficient evidence to establish that Shumail Raj is a woman,” Judge Khawaja Sharif said in his ruling.

He sentenced the couple to jail for three years and imposed a fine of Rs10,000 each for perjury. A decision on whether to annul the marriage would be taken at a hearing next month, he said.
