Taking My Girlfriend in a Air Force Chopper

Here is something light for my readers . It’s a true incident from the past. As a young Flying Officer I was posted to Kerala in South India. After going there I realized that girls from Kerala and Tamil Nadu have a fixation for Punjabi North Indians. I cannot say why, but it’s very much there. I became friends with a young MBA student and I was keen to show her my prowess. I promised to fly her in the Air Force helicopter. Taking my Girl up

I got my chance soon enough and I was given a solo exercise one fine day. In the meantime I had asked my girl to drive down to a desolate field which I had identified earlier. After getting airborne in my Allouette I hovered and soon saw my girl. She recognized it was me and I slowly landed in the field. She rushed in and climbed in and without switching off I took off again. This was a thrill, here was my girl sitting next to me and I was flying her in an Air Force chopper. She was excited and kissed me repeatedly. Those kisses in flight have remained the most memorable ones for me.

The Return I was in touch with ATC all along and soon the flight commander asked me to return. I told her I would drop her and once again came down and my girl hopped off. There were 2 or 3 people standing among the bushes at some distance and I thought I was safe. Alas! I do not know how, but my CO and Flight Commander got whiff of my amorous escapade and I got a reprimand for it. “Heavens “said my flight Commander” man, don’t do it again”. I didn't, but that memory of our fight to bliss remains.

General Ayub Khan and Starlet Christine Keeler

Field Marshal Ayub Khan was the first military general to lead Pakistan. This is certainly a well deserved title, but the General was also a flamboyant man who lived life to the hilt. He frequently traveled abroad and one of his favorite places was London.

In London he was often the guest at the imposing estate of Clivedon in Buckinghamshire. One may wonder what the Pakistan president was doing at this estate. ? Unlike later Pakistan presidents like Zia and Mushraff who dabbled in sending Jihadi fighters into Kashmir, Ayub Khan was more interested in other matters. This concerned a string of girls who frequented the swimming pool at Buckinghamshire. The girls were allowed to swim in the pool with the condition that to swim it had to be in the nude. This was loved by the girls who frolicked nude in the pool.

This was to the liking of general Ayub Khan who loved to swim and have fun in this pool. It was here he met Christine Keeler. This girl was a beautiful and sexy model. In addition she was not averse to sex with anybody and one of her lovers was the war minister John Profuma. Christine Keeler met Ayub Khan at this pool and she was mighty impressed with the tall and heavily built Punjabi. In fact in an interview later she complimented the looks and masculine charm of Ayub Khan. He may have also swum with Rice Mandy Davis, a girl one third his age. Christine Keeler was involved in the sex scandal of the early sixties that led to the suicide of Dr Ward. But Ayub had nothing to do with the suicide of Dr Ward. He was a simple man , out for fun. One can't grudge him that !

Death Penalty in Japan and Should other Countries Follow it.

Most countries in the world including the USA carry out executions fairly regularly. Death sentence is not part of punishments only in the EU. Japan is a progressive country with a very ancient civilization. The Japanese pride themselves on their ancient culture and its humanitarian and aesthetic values. This has not stopped the Japanese from executing hardened criminals. The executions have been fairly regular, except in 2011 when no execution took place. As reported by Sky news the Japanese Justice Minister Sadakazu Tanigaki rejected all mercy petitions of 3 accused rapists and murders and they were duly hanged on 21 February 2013. These were the first executions in 2013 after 2 hangings in September 2012. It is worth examining the crimes of the 3 men executed. - Kaoru Kobayashi aged 44 was the first to be sent to the gallows. He was accused of abducting and raping a 7 year old girl, before murdering her. He followed up by sending photographs of the girls’ body to her mother - The second man named Masahiro Kanagawa aged 29 was executed after he was convicted of killing one man and injuring 7 others in a knifing spree at a shopping mall in the capital city of Tokyo. He appeared to be habitual killer as he had earlier killed one man. - The third criminal hanged is Keiki Muto 62 who had strangled a bar owner to death in a premeditated act over a dispute involving money.

These 3 persons hanged and their crimes do not appear to be serious in the Indian and Pakistani context, as in India reprieves are granted for heinous crimes like the killers of Rajiv Gandhi and the associates of the dacoit Veerapan who killed 21 policemen being spared the noose. There are over 400 men on death row in India and over the last 10 years only 3 criminals have been executed. In Pakistan also I believe there has not been a hanging since 3 years. The adage justice delayed is justice denied holds true even in death sentences. To keep a criminal on death row for years and years without a decision, defeats the very purpose of having death as a punishment in the law books. In contrast to dithering on death sentences in India, the Japanese have been executing criminals regularly during the last 20 years (except in 2011). That could be the reason for the low crime rate in Japan.

The Meek and Mild Hindu

hello,

. I remember reading a editorial by Frank Moreas Editor in Chief of Indian Express that the myth of the 'meek and mild' Hindu is dead. This was after the 1965 war, when India had crossed the Wagah border. But the fact is different as even after 40 years down the line the Hindus have not shaken of that title. The Hindus govern India , but they are more concerned with minorities welfare( Read Muslims). Again they are in a majority but shun any action that refers to any golden age of Hindus.They still talk of the Muslim rulers at Delhi as 'Indians' and the leadership cannot answer as to why these same rulers ruled with a iron hand , supressed Hindus, imposed Jizzia, annihilated temples, abducted Hindu girls for sex etc.

Perhaps all this is in the mind of the Hindu.The name of the game is sheer survival even at the cost of a fellow Hindu or the nation itself.Can the Hindus rid themselves of this ? Even the new commissioner of Police , Mumbai has referred to India ( read Hindus) as a soft state against terror!

Any discussions?

Nude Rugby between Men and Women

I remember once reading way back in 1965 when the Indian Army crossed the Punjab border -a write up by Frank Moreas EdiRugby is a demanding sport, which requires extreme fitness. It’s not played much in India and the sub-continent, mainly as the game involves a rough and tough tackle and Indians don’t like it. But recently there was an event, that is both hilarious and a tremendous advertisement for the game. A rugby match took place between men who were nude and women with clothes. But they also had to shed clothes as the match progressed. This rugby match was staged this September at Dunedin. An all women Spanish rugby team the Las Conquistadores tackled the Blacks in an international rugby game. The men players entered the arena nude and the match was a hilarious event. It ignited interest in the game .The women won, but I suppose the result does not matter, it is the spirit with which it was played that matters.

The Spanish girls from Barcelona based rugby players gave a good account of themselves and were not afraid to tackle the nude men. Who were perhaps a little careful? An injury can be devastating. But it was good fun. Wonder how many nations will allow it? There is another version of this Rugby match. here the women come in clothed and the men are nude. But as the match progresses and for every goal scored by the women the women players have to start shedding their clothes. They start by removing the Tshirts, then the shorts and lastly the bra and panty. Some however feel shy of taking the panty off. All in all its a nice sport and a hilarious pass time. But in one match a woman's panty was ripped off by her team mates to the vociferous approval of the crowd

The Don ( Bradman) was not the Greatest and He was no Friend of India

Don Bradman was Great but not the Greatest Donald Bradman played cricket for Australia. He played cricket at a time when the British empire reigned supreme all over the world. The Don has a test batting average of 99.94 and on the basis of this average many people consider him the greatest player ever in cricket. But a recent interpolation through the computers where all the innings of the Don were analyzed reveals that if the Don had played on all wickets in India ,South Africa and West Indies his batting average would have been considerably lower. For the Don played all his cricket only in England and Australia. Thus his experience was limited to playing on Australia and English wickets.

The Don and India; A sad Episode There are many people who opine that the Don had great love for India and he would have toured India if given the chance. but his attitude belies this claim. In 1948 while on the way to England his ship docked at Bombay( Mumbai). Many Indian cricketers including Vijay Merchant went up to the Don's cabin and requested him to come on deck to greet the many Indian's who were his admirers. But the sad part is the Don refused to come out of his cabin. A man who would not come out of his cabin to meet Indian is not expected to tour India even if given the chance. Bradman was a Fair Weather Batsman

The Don was a fair weather batsman and scored heavily on wickets conducive to batting. On the 1947 Indian tour of Australia Don Bradman failed on a rain soaked wicket in the second test. He was clean bowled by Hazare. In the other tests on batting wickets he scored heavily. The Don's average of 99.94 did not hold true when facing Douglas Jardine 'e team in the famous body line series when Harold Larwood ran into the Aussies as a tornado. He averaged just about 60 in that series and was effectively cut to size. At that time England had only one super fast bowler in Harold Larwood. I shudder to think what would have happened in case Bradman had to face a
