Taliban: Is This The Right Term

Will somebody feel offended if you call him Talib or say you and your friends are Taliban. Surely not, If he know what does Talib or Taliban means. But why this word has got so much hatred and why it is abused, why Taliban are always called terrorists. As we know that Taliban is used for that group of students of religious institutions in Afghanistan who raised against the evils in their country and to provide justice to the people and gradually became able to form their government in Afghanistan. These students of religious institutions are commonly called Talibs as the word Talib does actually means student. While the plural of Talib (student) is Taliban (students). So the army of these students (talibs) were givens the  name Taliban (students).

Unforgettable Farewell

Commenting on this act, the Mr.Bush, the freedom giver , said that he don't know why that man thrown the shoes on him. May be he really don't know. But in my thinking, th...

Funny Indian Media

Once I was a fond viewer of some Indian TV serials. But with the pessage of time I realized that the producers/directors/writers of these serials do not have any plot. Their amature way of direction, script writing, and acting, oh my God, this is something over which I've wasted a lot of time of mine. The hilarious way of direction and camera work, turn a serious serial/program in a funny production. Now when i want to laugh, I start watching an indian serial or movie of Indian South. To the extent of serials and movies its fine. But during the Mumbai terrorism activities, I came to watch some Indian News channels. The way they were presenting news and reports, made me feel that I am watching some clips of a stupid Indian propaganda movie. I personally respect Indian people because of their intelligence but when I think of that such intelligent people will watch these news channels and will believe on them, I just feel sorry for them. In my suggestion, to the extent of funny news, ...
