Crimes worth noting.

And you thought that a developed country or city is perfect?



DUBAI - A giganormous theft in Wafi Mall on the 15th of April left the whole of Dubai shocked out of their wits. 50 million DOLLARS worth of jewellery was stolen from the Mall.

Largest jewel robbery (Belgium) - At the Antwerp Diamond center, Belgium, over the weekend of 15/16 February 2003, 123 of the 160 vaults were emptied, with an estimated loss of at least $100 million.

Largest robbery by a mugger (UK) - Treasury bills and certificates of deposit worth $435 million were stolen when a mugger attacked a money-broker's messenger in the city of London, UK, on May 2, 1990.

Largest drug seizures - On September 29, 1989 in Sylmar, California, USA, officers from the Drug Enforcement Administration seized 21,570 kg of cocaine. The largest heroin seizure took place in Bangkok, Thailand, on February 11, 1988 when officers seized 1,277 kg of heroin.




Think again.




PS: I'm really sorry, and I know this has nothing to do with the topic, but I just HAD to tell all of you. Pablo Picasso's full name is.....*drum roll please*.....
Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno de los Remedios Crispin Cipriano de la Santisma Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.
I'll give you a minute to retrieve your breath.
He is also the most prolific painter. In a career that lasted 75 years, Picasso (I will refrain from typing his name out again) has produced about 13,500 painting and designs, 100,000 prints and engravings, 34,000 book illustrations, and 300 sculptures and ceramics.
Yeah, catch your breath again.

What would you .....?

What would you do....

If you had to choose between your family and your dreams?
If you didn't know the extent of your abilities?
If you found out your whole life was a dream?
If you really liked someone and couldn't express your feelings?
If you realised you never really had a true friend your whole life?
If you found out that you were the problem all along?
If you were a victim of a natural disaster like so many people today?
If you were working so hard for success that you forgot who you were?
If you knew what you wanted to do, but couldn't?
If you met someone who had no Faith in mankind?
If one of your friends ran away from home and begged you to provide shelter for him?

Think about it.

Observations.

I know this is a very late "new post", and this is certainly History repeating itself, but I have a totally reasonable explanation as to why I haven't updated my blog for more than a month. I was in Sandakphu! What's that? I was there only for 8 days, you say? Well, I needed to recover from the whole not-having-a-bath-for-eight-days thing. And also, my mind had blanked out. I had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to write about! And since the very commonly talked about things in the blogosphere had already been talked about, I didn't think I needed to express my views on a huge pile of already-expressed-views. Which is what I'm sort of doing now, but don't call me a hypocrite yet!

I have something to share with everyone who knows about my blog. It's something I wrote in my Commercial Applications class, when I was actually supposed to be studying about "an element of risk in business". I looked around, my mind having muffled the monotonous voice that was gradually beginning to sound like a lullaby. And what I got, was this.....


Pens scribbling furiously. Glasses being pushed up noses. Hair being tucked behind ears. Yawns being passed on. Arms being leaned on. Watches being glanced at. Brains tuning out. Pencils being sharpened. Unenthusiastic answers. Eyes widening in disbelief. Tongues being stuck out. Eyebrows being raised. Textbooks being closed. Blank minds and hiding faces. Arms being raised. Names being "exchanged".



It's only a sort paragraph, but if you imagine it after reading it, you'll be there. All of us have noticed this sleepy, slow moments in class that somehow seem so cliched. It seems like the whole world is going faster than we are. Everything seems to have frozen. Sounds don't seem to exist. It was some experience, and i just HAD to share it with everybody. I would suggest closing your eyes and imagining it all. You won't even need the words to see what's happening.

I showed it to a friend of mine. And she said "Random geniosity"

:D:D
