27th Mar 2012 Funny Observations From Watching Movies

Not sure whether I have told you about these observations before, but just in case I haven't ...

Next time you go to the movies, keep your eye out for extra information that you can pick up about every day events. The following observations have a strange but true ring to them; the unexpected knowledge gained from watching movies.

1) During all police investigations, it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

2) All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French bread.

3) The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

4) Even when driving down a perfectly straight road, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel vigorously from left to right every few moments.

5) When you turn out the light to go to bed, everything in your bedroom will still be clearly visible, just slightly bluish. All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets that reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.

6) Should you decide to defuse a bomb, don't worry which wire to cut. You will always choose the right one.

7) It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts-your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

8) A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

 

If you are the observant type, you might spot more interesting details I have overlooked. Do pleas add to this if you wish.

27th Mar 2012 Beauty & The Beast - A Tragedy

Once upon a time, there was a young beauty in Pakistan, called Fakhra Younus, who married, against her wishes, to a man in Karachi, Bilal Khar, son of a politician, who had already 3 wives. Her married life is a series of merciless torture in the hands of her husband. One day she had had enough and went back to her parents' home, but her husband went there and without a single word, threw bottles of liquid acid all over her face. Her husband was acquitted of the horrendous crime, due to his connection with the high rank politicians. She is only in the news today, not because of the crime inflicted on her, but her suicide last week; her body was being sent back to her parents in Pakistan.

That was 12 years ago. Once again, she had had enough, even of life itself. Last week, she threw herself from her home on the 6th floor, in Italy, leaving a note that summed it all up: 'For the silence of the law, the atrocity and insensibility of government'.

 

The before and after photos of Younus, and with her in the after photo is the Pakistan activist and writer Tehmina Durrani, who had helped the young woman move to Italy, where she underwent 39 operations with intent to re-compose her badly damaged face as well as her body, large part of it was burnt to the bone; all to no avail.

Today one Spanish TV channel premieres a new series from the United States 'American Horror Story'. It promised in the publicity to be abominably horrific and scary. Fictions. No way could it be more horrific and scary than the indescribable pain and injustice Younus had suffered.
