Heightened Reduction
An employee with a reputed MNC, enrolled himself for a health check up camp at his office. He had some health concerns and had undergone a medical checkup in the earlier month. He wanted to see how his health progress had been since the last check up. When his turn came, he gave his blood sample and went to have his BMI(Body Mass Index) checked, along with his BP.
There were 2 physicians and an assistant helping them in the camp, specifically for the BP and BMI checks, for the employees. The assistant checked his height, and noted it down on the check up sheet as 160.6 cms. Now, our dear employee in his previous checkup had been measured as 162 cms tall. He couldn't accept such a reduction in height and wanted another verification. One of the physicians, then took him and did his BP check. After that, she yielded to the employee's requests and took his height reading again.

Terrorism - A veiled political act ??
It is with great sadness that I am writing this post. Yet another bomb blast in India. At the very holy place of Sankat Mochan in Varanasi and another in Varanasi's Cantonment Railway Station. Varanasi a place where Hindu Muslim faiths have lived in harmony, has been raked up to communal tension. I thought divide and rule policy existed when Britishers ruled India. Seems, it has continued on and even after Independence, this is being followed by the freed citizens of India, who are donning Political colors.
This is not to discount any kind of involvement terrorists might have. But, such a thing to have happened within a week of Anti-Bush Protests and the protests against the Cartoon Controversy in Lucknow, throws the door wide open to other hands behind the bomb blasts. Let me try to get into the mind of a politician, who plays the communal card and woos the voters by raking up communal sentiments. This is just a point of view . Mr X thinks thus - " Terrorism is hitting India badly, and India has been always a soft target of terrorist attacks. So, it really wouldn't be a surprise if another terror strike occurs. Besides, if I can trigger it in a communally sensitive area, I can get the voters on my side by playing the communal card. And more importantly, if I can set of these bomb blasts, it can be branded as yet another unfortunate terrorist activity. Thus I can pull voters on my side even while being safe myself !".
