Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz Tied The Knot



Daniel Craig's publicist had confirmed the news that the actor has married Rachel Weisz. The wedding was quietly attended only by Craig's teenage daughter - Ella, Weisz's five year old son - Henry and two family friends as guests.

The couple met while shooting for the film Dream House. This is the first marriage for Weisz and the second for the James Bond star.

I really liked the sound of this couple. Both good looking and decent...better than many others overrated celebrity couples. Though it was funny to read that many women were heart broken and crying from within to hear Daniel Craig is no longer single :P The man was married even before and had a pretty old daughter as well. It should not be such a shocker!

Anyway happy married life to Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz. You guys make a lovely couple!

Canadian Monarchists Want Prince Harry To Become Their King



As time is passing by, it is becoming apparent that the future of monarchy in Canada is not at all certain. Some opinion polls suggest two thirds of Canadian population prefer the country to become a republic.

A major issue is the fact that the head of state only visits Canada once in every two to three years. However, royalists in Canada have a novel solution to this age old problem and that is to install Prince Harry as their king.
Although, Prince Harry is the third in line to the throne but with this solution he could set up a home in Ottawa, give a strong permanent Royal family presence in Canada and silence those who believe in having an elected head of state.

Perhaps, this is the kind of re-invention that the Royal family needs to make to handle this situation smartly with Prince Harry to set up a Canadian branch of the Royal family. Or if not this the future king should rotate to keep people happy - six months in Canada, six in Australia and six in London.

Though, I genuinely have no interest in the fake Royal family but I actually kind of like the Prince Harry to become the king of Canada option. Partly because I have always found Harry a thousand times better than William since my childhood. But then...it doesn't change anything. The Royal family practically does nothing. They are just like dolls all dressed up. There is nothing substantial that they do with their presence except have these pretentious events and weddings with lots of money.

Beautiful People Website Was Invaded


Now this is some interesting info...high-tech, virtual and weirdness on social media.

There is a social networking site for "beautiful people", which has some 700,000 members worldwide. Recently, it was hit by what is known as the "Shrek" virus that allowed some tens of thousands of "ugly" applicants to sign up. (My apologies for using the word "ugly" but sadly this is how the owners of the site refer to the unwanted applicants.)

BeautifulPeople.com has always had a very strict rating stage where existing users vote on whether someone is attractive enough to be accepted into the online community...wow isn't that quite racist?

Last month, this screening process lost its strict set of rules and allowed anyone to join in, regardless of their looks.

Today, the owners of the site have apologized to more than 30,000 unfortunate people who were wrongly admitted to the site. They are now banished from there.

Check this out how the Managing Director of this racist site, Greg Hodge handled the media today...I am amazed to see his choice of words.

"We got suspicious when tens of thousands of new members were accepted over a six-week period, many of whom were no oil painting."

"We responded immediately, repairing the damage from the Shrek virus and putting every new member back into the rating module for a legitimate and democratic vote. The result is that we have lost over 30,000 recent members."

"We have sincere regret for the unfortunate people who were wrongly admitted to the site and who believed, albeit for a short while, that they were beautiful."

"It must be a bitter pill to swallow, but better to have had a slice of heaven then never to have tasted it at all."

Wow how insane was that? People actually prove they are beautiful by being on a site and if a site rejects them they feel sad that they are ugly.

Anyway, it is believed this virus was caused by a former employee or by one of the 5.5. million people who were rejected by the site. Just for our info UK, Russia and Poland are a few countries with the highest rejection rate on this site, while most successful new members are from USA, Denmark and France.

I am finding this whole website to be so vain...the whole idea is so discriminating and biased. Anyway, if it is doing well it is because there is demand for such discrimination where people love to be called beautiful while millions are rejected because people find them ugly. The world is going down the drains.

Happy Father’s Day everyone! :D



Actually I just feel like writing something about my father today as I didn’t write anything on his anniversary.

I just can’t believe how 19 years have passed without Papa. When I was a kid, I used to throw away his things in anger & I kind of miss it even today :P I guess he was too good a human, so he’s dead. And things would surely have been different for both Z & I had he been alive. One thing I know for sure – he was the only person who could get me out of deep shit. I don’t count on any other being.

So if you’re dad is alive, have dinner with him or do something special for him. Just in case, he’s something evil, cause parents can be evil, I’m sure you know how to deal with your headache.

I started talking to Papa when I was just 3 days old & by the time I was 2 year old, my parents knew I had huge crushes on Nadeem, Dharmendra & Gregory Peck. But like most people who have lost their dads & moms, I don’t secretly talk to Papa when I’m happy or sad. I can’t feel his presence either. And I do find it highly dramatic! I’m the kind of person who can believe almost anything but I just don’t believe in this crap. I don’t know why people talk shit. We do get upset; it’s natural but we don’t have to exaggerate it to this extent.

My best friend once suggested to me that I ought to write a book on my life. I don’t think I can do that but I came up with the title immediately which was ‘Penniless orphans.’ In fact it would have been the story of the kind penniless orphans who know why caged birds sing. I know it doesn’t go with my image or with my father’s name but it’s not an exaggeration. And it has just occurred to me that I have never written anything about orphans. I also think I won’t ever write anything on them for obvious reason.

Anyhow I think Z & I were totally blessed to have a father like him even for a short while. Sometimes I wish I had been as colourful as my dad :P He was so full of life.

Wonders Of Photoshop








Here is a look at the wonders of Photoshop and post editing. Post editing and hours of detail work on Photoshop makes celebrities look so different from the reality. Photoshop and other softwares of the sort are not loved by people worldwide just like that...they make them look GOOD a thousand times more than the reality.

P.S. Madonna looks the worse here I feel :)

Johnny Depp On Family, Friends and Loved Ones

I am a big fan of Johnny Depp for the longest times...much before the world noticed him in Pirates of the Carribbean and the likes. I am an even bigger fan of his quotes...the man says things straight from his heart. This particular one is intense on loved ones, friends and family and I love it absolutely!


"If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love, I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years, but I would eat them."
~ Johnny Depp

Bar Rafaeli Has A Broken Arm



Leonardo DiCaprio's long time ex girlfriend - Bar Rafaeli just broke her arm and tweeted about the accident and how she felt.

"I broke my arm. And I'm annoyed! Boooooo"

Her media rep was not available for comment, however, thus there is no news on how, where and when did the Israeli girl got banged actually.

Well, although I saw very few pictures of her in which she was not wearing a bikini, but the girl is quite a beauty indeed. Wish her a speedy recovery!

Shannon Twins Are Back In The Playboy Mansion




This is another sickening update on one of the world's richest and old sick man - Hugh Hefner. Ever since his fiance, Crystal Harris called off their wedding and can you imagine that...she called off that amazing event...anyway since then Hefner didn't show any signs of being lonely.

He moves on quickly and wastes no time of his precious life in loneliness and without sex to be precise. The latest news is that the famous 21 year old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon have moved back into the Playboy Mansion as his room mates.

The twins moved out of the mansion in January 2010 when Hefner and Harris became quite steady. It is yet not clear if this shift means that the sisters will become his girlfriends or just stay his friends - if there is much of a difference in the two relationships when it comes to Hefner.

Anyhow, Kritina has tweeted and confirmed the news about moving into the mansion, "@KarissaShannon1 and I finally just finished moving! Its been such a long day!"

Wow! Good for the Shannon sisters for such a crappy taste. As for Hefner, I think the man will die while having sex some fine day.

Ragini MMS actually also insults cheap thrills







Yesterday I had the misfortune to watch Ragini MMS. I call it a misfortune, cause I have seen better stuff. This was supposed to be a horror movie but they were playing with 2 or 3 positions. I just can’t say they were insulting sex; it was all so gross & boring. I think they were insulting the very idea of pornography in their own way.

Don’t watch the movie but do watch the crap that’s available on YouTube. You even get to see what they have been doing in rehearsals. The never-ending kissing scenes can make you puke. On top of it, whenever the lady started moaning, you would just want to bang your head against the wall. Now that’s an exaggeration but I’m sure you get my point.

Pawan Kripalani couldn’t execute anything in the right way. Since he was making a horror movie, but all along he was playing with things that he had no idea how to pull…naturally he failed everyone. But yes if you are into really cheap thrills, (that can get you excited to kiss just about anyone) then it’s the movie for you. I think servants would like it more, cause both Raj Kumar Yadav & Kainaz Motivala have no class whatsoever. But the girl is better than that ugly guy.


However, they must be following the directions of Pawan & I think Ekta Kapoor & Shobha Kapoor of Balaji Telefilms must have more fun than the actors who couldn’t act & neither could they kiss nicely. It was quite irritating when the guy’s ass was all over the screen. I feel so sorry for all those who must have seen it on the big screen. On top of it, they were both wearing such dirty rags. And the guy was quite a meanie. Any girl who has a little higher standard would just slap him rather than smooch him forever.


Only one innocent question pops up: Ekta Kapoor kay dimaag mein kya chalta hai? It’s not that we don’t think about such stuff. We do but when you see these actors, you won’t even have the urge to kiss anyone. There’s nothing sexy about it. No wonder they took just 25 days to shoot this shit. I believe these people were trying to explore couple of things such as age-old positions, the word ‘erotic’ in not so sexy way, & kissing as if you may die the next minute. I really can’t recall if there was any element of horror.

Pankaj Sabnani from Glamsham very rightly said, "Ragini MMS isn't worth 'circulating', if you have a large appetite for horror." Moreover, I absolutely agree with Aniruddha Guha from DNA who said, "Watch Ragini MMS only if you dig cheap thrills. But don’t worry about losing sleep thereafter."

Some people also blackened the faces of these actors even before the film was released. They blackened just the posters, not the real actors. I wonder how they reacted after watching the movie.

It’s my observation & I could be wrong but Yadav & Kainaz were more intimate in the leaked video, which could be a deliberate attempt to promote the movie. In spite of that they couldn’t make out like others. Whatever it was, it was too boring & monotonous. They were so bad & ordinary. I guess they cannot even give thrill to the lower class either. It seems as if there was a lot of passion bottled up inside someone (read the director & the producer) & he/she totally messed up on the screen. They need to learn a bit more about wet kisses, I suppose. If the movie was all about smooching, saliva, kind of sex that only revolved around 2 very old positions & not at all sexy noises…it could have been done in a better way.

Nothing is what it seems


Thanks to yellow journalism, we get to know half-baked stories & truth as ever is guarded by lies. Everyone who is killed is projected as saint whereas the real events that led to the crime are hidden. No one has the right to kill anyone how people are being killed in Pakistan. There is no justification for murder & other heinous crimes. At the same time, no one has the right to take the law in his hand & punish those who are guilty. But we are an illiterate nation & not just that, compassion is totally missing.

Now quite frankly, one doesn’t know the real story. However, we have been passionately supporting Muneeb, Mugheez & Sarfaraz Shah. The manner in which they have been killed is absolutely unacceptable but the circumstances that led to the actual crime had never been properly highlighted. Everyone turns out to be a dacoit. It’s hard to believe the zillion stories that circulate.

I once wrote on this rape case in which a woman was raped twice in the same week by different men. Naturally I was quite pissed off & the story was disturbing. But after 3 weeks or so, I discovered through a reliable source that she was never raped. Along with her husband, she plotted against these men.

It’s very difficult to tell who is innocent & who has been wronged. And the kind of media we have, everything turns into something else. Instead of reporting, they prefer giving opinions & distorting the real story.

Almost 8 years ago, I gave up my research on JJSO, cause again through some source, I got info that made me question as to why I had been supporting certain juvenile offenders. I even gave up writing letters in the newspaper, cause I didn’t know if I had been supporting right kind of people. It really pricks your conscience when you support those who are guilty.

We may never come to know the real story, thanks to our media. And my sister very rightly said that we should stay away from these Pakistani stories.

The Other Side Of The Story


Today, I discovered a few things. I was actually taken aback thinking for all this while I did believe in certain things passionately but actually the real story was so different. In fact, Nadira and I have strongly written about certain stories on our blogs over the years. We spoke against the stuff things that happen in our society and it dawned upon us we were just looking at things from one side.

Though, I always say, we should never follow our media blindly but somehow even I missed out certain things. Our media is absolutely irresponsible. It does not care about the truth. It follows it's own agenda of making money, getting higher TRPs, fooling people, satisfying political parties etc. It highlights incomplete stuff. Our media never brings out in the open the entire truth...they never document things for the record also. Even I was fooled...I too just looked at one side of the coin, which was wrong.

We just shared and talked a bit on how our rangers shot an unarmed boy in Karachi who was in the park. There was a footage of it also made by a cameraman who is now getting threats for sharing this evidence with the world. Obviously, shooting that boy was wrong. There are protocols, human rights, ethics and laws that need to be followed by rangers and law enforcement agencies so that they know they are not a law unto themselves.

However, the media is just highlighting on the fact that the boy was killed. The other version of the story is that he was in the park...he was trying to rob off some family and was harassing some women in there too, which is why people caught him and handed him over to the rangers. The holy rangers were too angry and they shot him. Shot him on the leg ok...but they took him to the hospital so late that he died. The way he was killed was wrong! But why he was caught...that story is not told to the common people.

One other story about which we have written time and again is the Muneeb and Mughees case. We felt their pain how the villagers killed them, smashed their faces, hung them upside down like some animal. All of this happened in the presence of police officials. People made videos of all this on the cell phones thinking it was entertaining or some horror movie. Again the way these two boys were killed was absolutely wrong. It only shows lack of tolerance, sensibility and literacy in our society.

Sometime ago, as I was trying to find the details of this case I noticed so many posts/articles that were there earlier were no longer there. Media has been almost quiet about this case...never tells the real truth. One very strong version of this story is that the two brothers had a fight with the local villagers in Buttar one week before while playing cricket and they left the ground. The day they were lynched the brothers went there and killed one of the boys - Bilal. They were caught by the angry villagers and then whatever happened to them was wrong, needless to say. Perhaps, this was the truth...only God knows.

I feel sad that I was so strongly supporting Muneeb and Mughees all this while. If our media was responsible and truthful, we would have known the entire story clearly but we are never told anything in the right manner. Their youth was highlighted and the fact that one of the brothers was even Hafiz-e-Quran was talked about but more important things were intentionally not discussed. Human faces can be so deceiving. But if there is anything that is growing constantly - it is badness.

Anyway, how all these three boys were killed was wrong because the common people or the law enforcing agencies have no right to just kill anyone. That is what is obviously wrong. Our media remains irresponsible. And I feel sorry for believing in something that might just not even exist.

Can it be called Catch 22?




This question too has been raised in Sarfaraz Shah’s case & the answer is of course no but some people will persist that it’s Catch 22. Whatever the rangers did, it was deliberate & they cannot be called victims. That 25 year old man was not a threat of any kind. He was unarmed. It seems as if the rangers didn’t think twice before killing; it’s just that this time their high-handedness has been captured on a video clip. A high level inquiry has been initiated. Although the footage is there but we still need some more evidence. We need one inquiry after another, but we never see any result whatsoever.

What I find laughable is that the PM has warned the National Assembly not to use abusive language against any institution of the country. Fine. Under article 63 of the constitution, abusive language could not be used against superior judiciary & armed forces. But what about the right of common man in the constitution? Do they have any right at all? We know it damn well that there is no human right norm in this country.

Moreover, cameraman Abdul Salam Soomro is the person who filmed this deadly incident & he has been receiving threats ever since. I don’t think you could question the authenticity of the footage. I even said this in the case of Muneeb & Mugheez that the video had been the biggest evidence, but it seems no one who could make a difference wants to acknowledge its very existence. They are more interested in investigations & inquires that bear no fruit.

Now coming to the various stories I have heard & read about Sarfaraz Shah – it has been said that he tried to rob a policeman’s family. Some are saying that he misbehaved with ladies & they also found a toy gun in his possession. It has also been reported that he held a family hostage right at Benazir Park in Clifton.

In the video clip, it’s evident he is begging for mercy. He didn’t even use foul language when they shot him. Does a professional criminal behave in this way? Even ordinary people start abusing but Sarfaraz was really scared. They were beating him for no reason & then they were so pissed off that they fired at him. Maybe they are so used to killing people that they don’t think at all while shooting at someone helpless & unarmed. Many a times, people die in police custody & no action is ever taken. Life is indeed very cheap in Pakistan. However, 2 rangers have been booked & let’s see what happens. There is again a bit of noise.

Since we share our links on various websites, we often get weird messages. This particular person watched the clip & he couldn’t understand the language but he never bothered to read any post on it. He presumed Sarfaraz could have been a rapist & pretty much guilty, which is why the rangers shot him. This person also believed there is just one solution to this kind of problem – Islam ought to be destroyed. What happened has nothing to do with any religion & I really can’t understand why do people presume so much. They want to stay in some myth, they are most welcome. Crime is not a thing that only happens in Pakistan. It happens everywhere. Just because we are Muslims, so everyone thinks he has a right to be judgmental. Seriously I wonder if we could ever have a decent image of Pakistan.

The gifts of insult



I just read it & I can’t help sharing it. At first I thought of posting it on ‘A Lonely Walk’ but then I decided to post it here, cause I’d like to say a couple of things. Here it goes:

‘If someone comes to you with a gift, and you do not accept it, who does the gift belong to?’– asked the Samurai.

‘He who tried to deliver it’ – replied one of his disciples.

‘The same goes for envy, anger and insults’ – said the master.

‘When they are not accepted, they continue to belong to the one who carried them.’

It’s so true people only give what they have. But I guess it’s really tough on you not to respond or react. Not that it’s tempting but it’s really irritating to put up with shit for too long. And Sartre very rightly said:

“There is a limit beyond which it is not possible to yield, because to do so would be culpable weakness.”

Although negative vibes can be felt all over when people can’t stand you for whatever reason. I guess it’s kind of difficult to keep on ignoring such people. At the same time, it’s amusing to know how much importance is given to you by those who do not matter at all.

Video Of The Young Boy Killed By Rangers


Nadira just shared a report on how our shitty rangers shot an unarmed boy in Karachi at Benazir Park.

I know everybody cannot stomach this video but it is available on youtube widely. It clearly shows there was no reason to shoot him. The boy was not really a threat to the rangers in anyway. They have nothing better to do but to claim that he too was a dangerous dacoit.

I am wondering who made this video? A common person present there at the park or some journalist. I have not seen coverage of this incident on TV. My heart has become weak.

We have not forgotten Munib and Mughees who were not given justice for their torturous murder. To date, people are trying to show they were dacoits and that their lynching was justified. I don't expect much from this case either. Very soon people and the media will forget what happened to this boy as well.

This is a sickening situation. Pakistan is infested with a strange kind of madness. This nation does not know how to respect freedom. Pakistanis love to talk about Islam all the time but value of life is nothing. And nothing will change here.



More details on this story: Youth shot dead by rangers in Karachi

Youth shot dead by rangers in Karachi




Again a young man has been killed by rangers in Karachi. Sarfaraz Shah was quite young & they are painting him as a professional criminal.Almost a year ago Muneeb & Mugheez were brutally murdered by monsters & justice has not been delivered so far & here we have another case in which this boy is killed by rangers. You could see video footage of this murder as well.

The boy was arrested in Benazir Bhutto Park. According to the rangers, he was involved in dacoity. However, his family is saying that he went to the park for outing. Whatever the reason is, the rangers have no right to killed someone just like that. His brother Salik Shah is a reporter & the journalists held a protest at the chief minister’s house. Moreover, I just don’t buy this shitty story. They are saying that a family had been held hostage by some dacoit in the park. When the rangers asked him to surrender, he refused point blank & they just shot him. It is also reported that he even grabbed the weapons of the security forces. It doesn’t seem so from the video that this young man was such a big threat or he was even involved in robbing. Plus, he was begging for his life.

Naturally we can’t expect much when security forces instead of protecting people go around killing innocent folks. Sarfaraz just like Muneeb & Mugheez seemed innocent but we will have zillions of stories questioning his innocence as well.

I’m not surprised cause I’m from a country where such things happen every now & then. Some pull the trigger & kill you. Some make sure you kill yourself. Life happens to be really cheap & we have no clue as to what is justice. Might is right & life is cheap. Although various political parties have condemned this incident but so what? This thing will happen again. There is no compassion whatsoever. Even ordinary people never think twice before hurting anyone with their words & deeds, & I have written this particular thing a zillion times. They may not kill you but they wouldn’t mind if you commit suicide either; then they will have more fun judging you.

Even though video of this murder is available online but do not expect much. Justice is not for the common man. And it’s also amazing that someone or the other is always making video. A day will come when we will feel nothing after watching such videos. As it is we are already dead.

Hi Tech Futuristic Hotels


I have finally found something worth sharing in this space... a peak into the future hotels that claim they will be offering virtual love making, dream management and high tech contact lenses to their guests.

It was revealed through a published study titled, 'The Future Of Sleep' done by Ian Pearson who is an engineer and futurologist. The hotel chain Travelodge in UK conducted this study. They claim hoteling experience will change completely by 2030 through this study.

Pearson said that technology will monitor guests energy levels, health and mood to ensure they get a good night's sleep. Even medical conditions could be diagnosed via this technology. Dreams could be controlled in the future and learn new languages while we are asleep in the coming years.

Dreams will look like reality and one could replay their favorite dreams again and again from a menu. This also means one could enjoy being with different partners in their dreams and feel as great as if it is all real. Virtual love making would allow partners to enjoy intimacy even when they are away from their home or not together to put it simply.

According to Pearson, we will then live in an augmented reality. Our real life will be integrated with the digital world and one could views television on any surface of the hotel. Besides, all these features will not be expensive also.

It does sound like some movie but the study is very confident using the engineering approach that this would indeed be the future. Actually, I have seen so many movies on these lines about the future that I do feel all of this will happen pretty soon with the advancement of technology but it would all be so unreal and fake.

I don't want to live in those times. Perhaps it is because I have lived in a time when things were not so hi-tech so I know what it is like to live without them. But the younger generations do not even have a clue of a life without technology. Such a future is going to be a major attraction for them and they would certainly prefer to enjoy augmented realities.

It looks like the future generations will almost let go off the reality in those times. Things will be even more high-tech as explained by this study. It will not just be the hotels but everything will be like that. Honestly, I find it creepy but it is destined to happen if the world survives by then.

True feelings are worthless


2 days ago, I read a short story based on a passionate, frenzied love & somehow I just can’t stop thinking about it. I’m actually disturbed & maybe that’s why I need to scribble something on it. As such I don’t like reading about love stories but at the same time, it’s almost impossible to stay away from them, because somehow they always creep in.

As usual it has made me question a couple of things. We feel so badly about a character but in real life, we don’t mind hurting & insulting people. It’s okay to be callous & have a bit of fun. True feelings are meant to be insulted sooner or later & love can surely take you to hell.

This is a story about Fred Manson & Gracie. Ned Preston is another important character. He happens to be a Prison visitor & that’s how he learns about the love affair of Fred & Gracie. Fred was serving 18 months sentence in jail for stealing but whatever he did, he did in the name of love. Gracie was much above him in everyway & he wanted her to have the best of everything.

Basically Fred is the type of character who only wanted a bit of fun & it was impossible for him to remain faithful to anyone, but he falls in love with Gracie. And beyond any reasonable doubt, it was genuine love.

‘I’m gone, I can’t help myself, I’m so stuck on you I can’t see straight. I didn’t know what it was to love like I love you.’

At another point, while talking about Gracie, he says this to Ned: ‘I could have had her over & over again if I’d wanted to. And I did want to & so did she. I knew that. But I respected her, see? She’s not like other girls. She’s one in a thousand, I tell you.’

Anyhow when he went to jail for stealing, things altered. Parents of Gracie didn’t want her to marry him anymore but she left the house & started working night & day. Meanwhile Fred thought that Gracie would leave him.

On the other hand, when Ned meets Gracie & tells him about why Fred was into stealing stuff, she said, ‘Tell him that nothing matters to me as long as he loves me. Tell him I’d wait for twenty years for him if I had to. Tell him I’m counting the days till he gets out so we can get married.’

18 months is not a very long time but things do change when you keep on thinking about the same person night & day. Naturally Fred became sick to death of Gracie. He didn’t want to see her face as he hated the sight of her. Even though Ned tried to convince him but Fred didn’t change his mind & so Ned had to go & tell Gracie.

I like how Ned expresses himself; there’s a lot of truth in it that one may not like but this is what happens even in real life. You don’t mind throwing a person as if he/she is a useless squeezed lemon:

‘Imagination’s an odd thing, it dries up; I suppose thinking of her incessantly all that time he’d exhausted every emotion she could give him, & I think it was quite literally true, he’d just got sick to death of her. He’s squeezed the lemon dry & there was nothing to do but throw away the rind.’

Anyhow Gracie took this awful news in a very calm manner. It was like as if she had missed a bus & it was a nuisance to wait for another one but she didn’t create any scene. This is what she said: ‘There’s nothing for me to do now but put my head in the gas oven.’ And the sad part is that she did.

This is indeed heart wrenching. I was wondering if this is what happens when feelings are so genuine, we can’t expect much when it comes to lousy crushes & attractions. And the more I think about this story, the conclusion seems totally apt & I hate it. Gracie was left with no other option & Fred must have been truly sick & tired of her. We can’t blame any character for the choices they made. I don’t know about the others but I think I would have done the same thing.

I guess it’s very easy to say: Don’t cry…just say ‘Fuck you’ & smile!!! For a long time, I thought life was the most inexpensive thing on this planet but now I believe feelings are even more cheap. No one wants to buy them. In fact people not just get rid of them in a variety of ways but they also jeer at them along with low-life fuckers & stuck-up cunts. It’s ironic there is no market for true feelings but most of the relationships are weighed in a balance, cause that’s the only business that works out in this world.

18 Unbearable Years Of Jaycee Lee Dugard's Life

Jaycee Lee Dugard

Jaycee Lee Dugard who was abducted in June 1991 lived eighteen years of her life locked up by a psychotic couple.

Nancy Garrido and her husband Philip Garrido were given a sentence of over 400 years for their criminal behavior and for kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard for eighteen years.

Last night, I read a report about a girl from California, which was very sad and disturbing. I discussed it with my sister and felt it should be written down here.

On June 10, 1991, eleven year old Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted by a psychotic couple as she was walking towards her school bus. Her step father helplessly saw a car with a man and woman inside turned around and somebody grabbed Jaycee.

Ironically, her family had moved to South Lake Tahoe, California from an inner city suburb to escape the rising crime rates but fate had something quite terrible in store for the family.

Jaycee went missing from that day but in August 2009 she returned back to the police as a grown up woman. Her description and details matched that of missing Jaycee and the DNA test confirmed it was really her.

Now, Jaycee is a 31 year old woman. She has received justice as the court has ordered the psychotic couple - Philip Garrido and his wife Nancy a harsh sentence of 431 years in prison. This means, the mad couple will spend the rest of their life behind the bars. They abducted Jaycee in 1991 and kept her in a secret backyard compound in their home for 18 years. Jaycee was raped by Garrido repeatedly and gave birth to two daughters as a result of the rape. The daughters are now 13 and 16 years.

It is said, Jaycee will write a book in which she will tell the world about her sufferings and torturous 18 years that ruined her life. She didn't visit the court also because she didn't want to spend another minute in Garrido's presence. Obviously, she cannot forgive or forget what happened to her. But, we can hope and pray that now she will live a better life.

It is so painful to read that somebody went through so much of torture - mental and physical for so many years. Sadly, she even had to give birth to two daughters in those conditions. It is an unbearable thought - raising kids of the rapist but even those kids have done nothing wrong.

Most of us are so busy with her happy lives that we cannot even imagine some people have to suffer so much, all for nothing. In fact, most of us don't even have the courage to read or listen to these incidents.

It is true that the psychotic couple destroyed a good important part of Jaycee's life and also of her parents. Unfortunately, I had to share their ugly pictures also and we can absolutely see they look like shitty sick devils. Though, Jaycee was given justice but nothing can bring back those years that Garridos took away from her.
