The only Indian serial killer/rapist I had ever heard of was Auto Shankar, who claimed that tamil movies made him want to kill/rape defenceless young girls. (I must admit, some tamil movies can provoke sheer rage/anger/vomit because of the bad/non-existant story lines/wardrobe changes/dancing around trees/annoying cast.) In the past 4 days, I have learnt, from our completely vapid/imagination free news channels (NDTV, CNN-IBN, Times Now, Headlines Today, Aaj tak, blah blah) that there have been quite a few serial killers in India. Even now, there is a guy who has killed 4 people in Mumbai in the past 2 months and leaves a beer can at the scene.

Also, Barkha Dutt is very annoying when she goes all judgemental and her moralizing seriously pisses me off. She gets so strident and loud and looks like she's going to have an aneurysm on screen. What happened to journalists reporting the news and not making the news? And in her interview thingy with Kiran Bedi a few days ago, all she seemed to want was a confirmation of her view (Police bad, nasty, hate poor, want money) and she kept badgering Dr.Bedi till that woman too started getting pissed and started ranting (Police badly trained in small towns, villages; procedures not followed; politicization of system, blah blah). Dutt wasn't happy and moved on to someone else - Mohinder Singh's school friend who hadn't seen him in 30 years or something. The guy who, 2 days later, said he was going to be defending Singh, and said that he (Singh) was a good guy in school and he dosen't think he could have changed all that much in the gazillion years that followed. Okay.

And yeah, Nick Leeson, the guy who single handedly brought down Barings Bank (Book - All the Glitters, Movie - Rogue Trader??), is giving lectures on why you should not hire rogue traders or something.

I'm so hungry.
