That's weird

Lots has happened in a week’s time. Last Saturday was a miraculously bright day. Sun was glazing and everything just looked so bright and pretty. I took the opportunity of visiting “Museum of Flight” Remember playing with toys, cars, some trucks as a kid? I felt exactly the same way; just the size of my playground and the planes had extravagantly increased. I was thrilled to be inside “President’s Plane”. I did want to sit in his chair, but it was strongly marked “Do not sit in this chair”. When the president is on board this plane goes by the name “Air Force One”. I just thought it was cool to name it that way. The one plane which I loved was a 737 / 747, I hardly know the difference. The reason I loved it is coz it goes by the Baby Boeing. Isn’t that cute? An ex-air force pilot gave us a tour of the museum and told us all about the airplanes. I was completely distracted with all the hanging and sitting airplanes, which were in different sizes and shapes. Wish could fly in some of them, wouldn’t that be awesome? We saw a plane which was used for some war purpose; it had a little missile like thing sitting on it. The missile was called ‘drone’. It’s kind of an unmanned little plane, used to spy. I didn’t know they had those back then. I just kept looking at the drone and wondering, what if one could fly in that one. So all in all it was a good way of spending a sunny day.

On another note, I was reading news a few mins ago and I came across this. Isn’t it ridiculous? Now I don’t want to make any comment here, but I am not too happy with people walking out of a function. And what is wrong with the journalist’s isn’t there better news than this one? That made me drop the Times of India for a bit and I turned to CNN and look what I find there. I think it’s some piece of news, now how many times do we get to hear a rebellion like this. Its sounds like, tell me who is the beneficiary of your life insurance policy or I’ll take your life to find that out. And in other news, a volcano which was tight lipped for 400 years, woke up and screamed at Colombia. 400 yrs. By the way, anyone heard or read any more news on the two faced girl. Did she speak?

No other news has been this funny offlate

I started writing this post on a totally different topic while cnn page was opening in another window updating me with some current news. I got distracted and went on to read the news which left me laughing till I guess I started turning red and scared my co-worker. The news is on the front page of CNN about a toddler who fell in a 45 feet well. The 2 year old girl spent 27 hours trapped inside the well. So here is the entire article and what went through my mind:

AGRA, India (CNN) -- A two-year-old girl was rescued Wednesday after spending 27 hours trapped inside a narrow well outside the Indian capital of New Delhi. Don’t we have better news that this one which could have been reported as a front page article. And does Agra need any more popularity then it already has due to Taj.

Two-year-old Vandana was trapped in a well near New Delhi for more than a day.
She fell 45 feet into the uncovered well while playing Tuesday night in a village near Agra, a northern Indian city outside New Delhi. Was she playing with her invisible friend? Was no one around? And which kind of games is played near an uncovered bore well.

The girl was taken by ambulance to a hospital to be checked out, according to District Magistrate Mukesh Kumar Meshram. Checked out? What does that mean?
"The girl is normal, according to the doctors, and there is a possibility (she is) suffering from dehydration," Meshram said. At first I thought the well actually had some water, so this statement got me confused since it says she dehydrated. So I went huh? Geez duh! She survived the fall? She has wings or something?

CNN's partner network CNN-IBN reported Vandana's parents were by her side at the hospital. What else does one expect? She is a miracle child now, who wants to lose out on that kind of popularity.

Her mother was kept away from the well because of rescuers feared she would become emotional and upset the child, but her father was constantly talking to her to keep her conscious, authorities said. The video actually states that her mother was praying. I wonder, didn’t her father’s voice echo in the well. So it would sound like…Stay awake…aaaaaaaaawake…aaaaaaawaaaaake. How did he talk to her? And what does one mean by mother becoming emotional, would she jump in the well as well.

India's army was called in to help, and rescuers dug a parallel well to tunnel into where Vandana was trapped. Now does the Indian army do this kinda stuff too. Who is guarding our borders in that case? And parallel well to rescue the toddler. Whose idea is this whole thing?

Officials said the girl frequently asked for fruits and sweets, which was sent to her with the help of a rope. Woah!! I am sure the girl must be like wow my only chance to get all that I want. So every now and then she would be like, throw candies, throw cake, throw mango. I wonder what I would do if I were in that well. I would be like how about a laptop and a cell phone. Don’t they have wireless connection down here? How about a McDonalds burger this time. No no just get me a burrito. What you guys would rescue me in an hour. Nooooooooooooooo!

Oxygen was also pumped inside the well through tubes to prevent any suffocation, CNN-IBN reported. It was the sixth time a child had fallen into an open pit or uncovered well in India over the past two years. Wow we actually going to make a record in this one.

And if all this hasn’t made you laugh go watch the video, the little girl is swarmed by army guys, do we need to crowd so much. Would the sky fall down if 10 of those people don’t appear in the video? Finally, what a news!!!
