About
The tag line of this blog "Si vis pacem, para bellum!" - Latin for "If you wish for peace, prepare for war!" pretty much says it all. Gun rights is currently a much maligned & ignored civil rights issue in India. This blog, in conjuntion with the www.indiansforguns.com forum is our attempt to raise awareness on this very important issue.

29 May 06 - 09:20Cornered Cat - Women and Guns
An interesting and entertaining site -
corneredcat.com
The site owner describes this site as:
This site is about women and guns, not about cats. But in a way, it's about the cornered cat in all of us. It's about the determination to get away from an attacker if you need to. It's about making the decision to say, "Not me. Not mine. Not today." And it's about the tools to make that decision stick.

15 May 06 - 00:54Is Microsoft ready to make its first major fumble?
Interesting post titled "Is Microsoft's Vista the new QuarkXPress?". The author makes a direct comparison with how Quark missed the bus when Apple released the new Mac OS X with Microsoft and its fumblings with its next Windows version code named Vista. He begins with "after a decade
of dominance, the company (Quark) stumbled, leaving the door open for serious
competition just as Adobe was introducing a strong competing product.
Is Microsoft about to do the same?" and goes on to elaborate in detail how the two situations are so very similar...
Overall an excellent piece!

14 May 06 - 20:17Amazing quote on free speech!!
Came upon this amazing quote by Pastor Martin Neimoller here. Have yet to see simpler and better logic on why to speak up about things that don't directly affect you...
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Social Democrats,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Social Democrat.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew,
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

12 May 06 - 16:34Air Supply - Gasp! I can't breathe!!
Was at the Air Supply concert last evening,
thankfully had hooked up with some friends for a few beers before the event -
might have been unbearable otherwise! A couple of geriatric has been rockers,
singing mushy songs and trying to get the smallish crowd of less than 2000
people all excited... 
Well to be completely honest there were moments which brought back old
memories... especially when they played their old hits like "making love
out of nothing at all", "all out of love", "lost in
love" etc. Reminded me of college days when a spare cassette full of their
numbers was always handy in the car, handy to be played when one got hit by the
post-break up blues... Looking back, (nostalgia aside) it seems hard to believe
that I was such a sentimental fool in those days! :O Guess everyone hardens up
as they grow older; slowly discarding their youthful naiveté and sentimentality
along the way... instead picking up a drier attitude and thicker skin... handier
tools to survive the world, maybe a little less fun though...
