Cattle Mutilations....

Was watching some ole episodes of X-files... That's how I got some info abt cattle mutilations

Ctrl C- Ctrl V...... abracadabra...

Cattle Mutilation Phenomena refers to thousands of cases in North America where cattle have been found mutilated under abnormal circumstances. Many mutilated cattle have been found marked with fluorescent paint, probably to help identify them in the dark.
The cows are found dead (although the cause of death is undetermined), exsanguinated (all their blood has been removed). Precise "laser-precision" cuts are observed in the mutilated cattle. They have had certain organs surgically removed from their bodies. Often their reproductive and rectal organs have been removed.
Abnormally high radiation levels have been detected near the dead animals when they are found, and scavengers will not touch the carcass. There are no footprints leading to or from the cows. There is evidence (clamp marks on the animals' legs) that the cattle were taken from their habitats and mutilated elsewhere. Sightings of UFOs and strange, unmarked, black helicopters coincide with many cattle mutilation cases.
Some people suspect our government as being behind this as some sort of biological warfare plan. Yet this is a world phenomemon.
The marks found on the animals are not consistent with attacks by predators such as wolves or coyotes.
In many cases the owners hear nothing at the time of the mutilation which is usually at night.
All organ removal and incisions are done with surgical precision, and in some cases the evidence of cauterization along the incision lines has led investigators to believe the use of some sort of high heat cutting device has been administered, suggesting the strong possibility of a laser.
Bones are also clearly cut with no bone fragments around the cut.
The body of the animal is totally drained of blood yet there no trace of blood is found, no signs of a struggle, footprints or tire tracks found anywhere on the ground around the body.
The typical cattle mutilation has shown repeatedly, huge oval shaped incisions around the jaw bone and in most cases the exposed jaw is completely removed, and the tongue removed from a precise incision deep in the throat. Also observed is the additional removal of at least one (1) eyeball, the udders on the female are most always removed and the sexual organs on both sexes are also most always removed.
UFOs and strange black unmarked helicopters have been linked with these mutilations since they have been sighted at the same time in the same area where the mutilated bovines have been found. There have been reports about UFO's lifting the animal off the ground. No one seems to have a valid reason as to the link between the multilations and the ET's.

Many animal mutilations are now being blamed on the animlas called Chupacabras who have yet to be captured and researched. Animal victims are found with a puncture hole in their neck and blood drained.

Pretty murky, huh!!

"Quarter Life Crisis"

There's been a lot of things that I wanted to speakout but always feels tongue tied when I try to do it... Well, here's something which my friend forwarded to me.. the guy has exactly written down my thoughts.. In a way it makes me glad to know that I'm not the only one....

>>"Being a twenty-something">>

It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you. You look at wat ur studying or ur job... and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't. One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you're doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself... and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that every one reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

Its called "Quarter-life Crisis." nothing is constant......except change. wats life without a few risks? keep playin the game! "

What would you do if I sang out of tune....

Man, it was a good day...Spent a lot of time watching "The Wonder Years"

It was too good...Nw a bit nostalgic...wanna write more, but got to catch more episodes...

Bobanum Molliyum...

Finally, my end terms got over..Phew! what a relief.

Today, my friend passed on this link, to a treasure trove of Bobanum Molliyum cartoons.

It was really great to read once again those catoons that one loved as a child. I still find them really enjoyable. Mind you, I've still not finished reading it....Have been reading them since evening...Might as well go well into the night!!

Pathimoonnu Kannara Palam....

A couple of weeks back I had attended a discussion hosted by a leading Malayalam daily at Cochin. The long travel from Calicut to Cochin was the best part though. Their sub-editor of the Calicut edition, with whom I was travelling, proved to be a jovial company.

We had long discussions about a lot of things ranging from politics to art to history...One such anecdote he told me was about the thirteen arched Kannara Palam in Kazhuthuruti in Kollam district.

Nestled in the verdant hills is this thirteen arched railway bridge, a legacy of the British Raj. He says, though the place is far away from civilization, it is a very beautiful ride, offering stunning views of the ghats.

And all those who have watched Anantabhadram can get a glimpse of this beauty captured beautifully by Santosh Sivan.

I'm hoping that I get a chance to visit the place during the upcoming Christmas hols.

He told me lots of other interesting stuff...Those, in later editions...

Kalaripayattu....

Today, we had a splendid kalaripayattu show performed by CVN Kalari of Calicut. For the uninitiated, kalaripayattu is the ancient martial art form of Kerala. Years of rigorous training impart an amazing amount of co-ordination and dexterity to its patrons. And the best part of any demo is the one having the urumi which is a highly flexible, snake like sword; which many a times had severed the head of the very person wielding the sword !! check out the pics...

Engg dayz....

Just now someone sent out a video on our LAN....Snapshots from the 4 years of engineering life ...man, it was too good....

The conclusion goes on like this....

A life which is to end

Only when I am no more

A life which transformed me

A fighter to the core

A season of love and friendship

For eternity which will last

In my future to follow

I will long to relive this past

Memories of this part of journey

I'll carry all life long

Memories of those precious moments

Which made my life a beautiful song

My eyes go teary

Emotions fill my heart

As my days left here are few

Now its time to bid adieu.

Chasin your dreams...

The world belong to dreamers...ain't it? And everyday, we hear stories about them...Those who flout all conventions; those who dare to break free from all societal norms and once they do, they fly..up..up and away....

A friend of mine told me about a friend of his; "Pawan" who quit his studies to pursue his first love - acting. And today, at the young age of 23, he's one of the who's-who in theatre. With an impressive list of successful productions to his kitty, this is one dude to watch out for. To know more about him, click here.

Anantabhadram...

Last week, I finally got time to go for a movie with my friends from college; 'twas just like the old times...movie follwed by dinner in the company of friends... The movie in question was Anantabhadram the latest mallu picture of Santosh Sivan. Well, here again you can see Santosh's magic with what he does best; not direction but cinematography.

He does wonders with his camera. Stunning picturisation and good background score does a lot of good to this thriller. Added to that is the brilliant performance by Manoj K Jayan; he really looks every inch the sinister 'durmanthravadi' he portrays. But I was a bit disappointed with Riya Sen who was more of an object. All she does is screaming (u c, her mind is controlled by Manoj) and walking around in a trance. And the songs can simbly be forgotten.



Well the movie is all about a village in Kerala plagued by the actions of an evil wizard who wants to take revenge and also get hold of the powerful nagamanikkam the magical gem of the snake gods. And then our hero (Prithiviraj) who comes all the way from the US to fulfill his mother's dying wish to spread her ashes near the holy pond where she used to light lamps during navarathri (phew!!); comes in and saves the day...

Believe me, I've given a very sketchy description of the movie; but it is worth a see.

A visit to an ole friend...

Well..today was a bit different..."but each day is" one might ask? Anyway, I finally got time to go out and visit my best friend today. Seeing him after quite sometime...

Sitting in my room... watching the slight drizzle through my balcony, I think... nostaligia engulfs me... yup..one of those trips down the memory lane. We sure did have a lot of fun. As Bryan Adams sings...Those were the best days of my life....
