Have you had an overdoze of relationships? Let me explain... you trying to bond to each and every human you come across, who you think is good by character. And then to the next stage.. did you find yourself in a sense of quagmire trying to hold on to each one of those acquired relationship, and felt exasperated, tired, drained out and in the hole? Come to think of it, I think everyone does this in one way or the other. I did and do this all the times in life.. and sometimes fail to hold on to few or all of these interdependences. And to tell you the truth it hurts, even to lose a stranger whose dependence on me or mine on him is lost even temporarily, for I believe we are human .. rational unlike some animals. Am I a case of acute paranoia when it comes to relationship.... brand me what you want, but every relationship is real and serious... attitudes and commitments differ. There are a few who understand me perfectly, and I keep going back to them to check how practical I was in living my life, or am I always living in ivory-towers. These few friends of mine have a QRH ready for every aspect of my life. People who are not from the airline industry.. QRH is Quick Reference Handbook.. It is a small handy book of checklists, spiral bound and thrown in the cockpit.. it tells the dud pilots what to do when in crisis...especially in these modern aeroplanes. It does not tell them what to do when the auto pilot fails. 
These friends of mine ask me a few question and revert back to me with my mistakes in dealing with a situation. Professionals eh..
Something I believe very strongly... Tibet for Tibetans.. Free. Whether the Chinese take over the place or India has a 'strategic' presence, it is everybody's responsibility to ensure that the Tibetan culture and values, however strange they may be to the learned and economically strong Chinese and Indians, is preserved and maintained. Imagine if we dont strive towards this... in fifty years we would have every one of us turning into a strange, idiotic and arrogant American or a red-tied Chinese who strongly believes in every attrocity he perpetrates. The Russians are gone.. so no Rasputins. My forefathers may have changed relegion, country of residence or even relationships very often, but I still accommodate the same traditions and values they had a century ago. PS - I dont have any thing personal against the Yanks and the Reds.. just the policies of their governments which if implemented in any third world country would be labelled as genocide.
Attrocious news about attrocious governance of the most attrocious despot.. none other than Robert Gabriel Mugabe who is ravaging this beautiful country called Zimbabwe. The latest inflation figures coming out of the country is a whopping 160,000 percent. Can I hide my face in shame somewhere? What is the US of A doing about this. I thought they were the sole self nominated policemen for the world. My country's stock market slumped ten percent because our inflation rates rose from 7 to 7.4 percent. Just an increase of 0.4 percent brings in pademonium in the country. What must be the common Zimbabwean going through, and even if he is raising his voice somewhere down there, who is listening to him. Blame me.. even I have reduced watching international news, specifically about Palestine, Israel and Iraq these days after leaving the Middle East. This is just apathy and animalistic behaviour.. survival of the fittest.. I am trying to survive, and my immediate neighbourhood politics is more important in my survival combat than what is happening in these far away countries. I must change for the better.
What is the temperatures right now in Qatar.....
Love to all - John
