Ever since I promised Mr.E (Eric) that I would like to contribute to this site, I have been excited about finding something to write about. My promise to my Nana (Deepak Shahani), that I will not stop writing rang in my head. After a busy (zzzzzzzz...) day at work, I was a little tired, but was determined to give this a start.
I haven’t really given this much thought so I might jump from one topic to the other. Please jump along. I don’t know what I must call this page as E asked and well...plainly what area I should contribute in. For starters I will focus on things in the news or media per say that have caught my eye.
Cannabis it is. And no, I’m not smoking. The Netherlands plans to shut down the “coffee shops” and I found it quite amusing that the points leading up to why these shops should not close to tourists, seemed to make more sense than why it should. They argue that shutting these shops would induce an increase in illegal drug trafficking, black market sale of memberships to these shops, risk exposure to hard drugs and naturally a decrease in tourism. So be smart you Dutch law makers, “do the right thing”. Anyway I think we have time till September, Amsterdam anyone?
Coming back to the motherland, an event management company named “BEYOND LOGIC” had their rave party raided in Mumbai. 300 people were arrested. A little bit of logic may have helped their cause. The nicer part is BEYOND LOGIC is owned by a cop. Raghupathy Raghav Rajaram...apparently all three were involved. J Obviously I just made the last part up.
Why are the two things I spoke about related to drugs and rave? :P Anyway I am going to bring this to a halt before I ramble on unclearly. I have set the ball rolling and I promise more laughs, more of “what the **** is he saying?” and will try my best to shed a little bit of light into the absolutely beautiful, yet shady world we live in.
