Coincidence? Again?

Coincidence? Again?
The day after Indra Shan passed away, the obituary column in the Star announced with a verse from the Bible…
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Then, I was watching a Denzel Washington movie called ‘Book of Eli’. He was portrayed as a gun wielding futuristic servant of God trying to save the only surviving Bible. He managed to follow the said path but succumbed to his injuries sustained in his journey albeit accomplishing his mission. He was narrating in the background at the end of the movie and his last words were…
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
Is it because I am looking out trivial things like these?

    Now what did I say about coincidences? Just look at the oil spill in Gulf of Mexico and within a couple of days, it happened in our own backyard - Selat Tebrau!

    My blog today is titled Radio GaGa, and Dean John's article in Malaysiakini is titled 'Going GaGa over Gaza' and Danny is playing Lady Gaga's new song on the piano. Coincidence?

    like I wrote on Coliseum cinema on 20.12.10 and there are having an interview on BFM radio on 23.12.10 with the owners of the Coliseum cinema and restaurant! Coincidence or what?

    like I am writing on my Tasmania experience under the heading 'heaven on Earth' - a song by Belinda Carlisle and the newspaper publishes an article on her book. A singer writing a book?

    I was writing about Star Trek and 'Beam me up Scottie' and viola the next day, some guy on the radio talking abt the same. Is it just me, or is there an evil force out to freak my brains?

    Like I took part in bareno run in Bkt Jalil stadium (13.3.11). Two days later, I had to go to an apartment just opposite the venue of run for a funeral. And I have not gone there since, just as I never went or stopped by at that area in aeons.
    And on 26.3.11, had to pick my daughter from Duta Nusantara in Hartamas. Guees what, the following day visited my old friend who just happened to stay in Puncak Prima. Hartamas!!! Haven't been there ever before!

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar:  The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad  (Telegu, 2024) Director:  Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari   and Dr Jaya Shreedhar.  ( Abs:  Radha Usman Syed, Sathish Kumaar Ganesan) Seeing six of Ge...

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
