What a privilege my brother said! Someone thought you are special enough to hack your account. But I could not agree. Someone posing as me and asking for money.....maybe he is reading me right now....so scary....but yet so true.
Here's the gist. Someone posed as me and asked a friend of mine for 1500 pounds. Can you believe that? That's nearly four times my monthly salary ( yea, I am on the poorer side). Luckily our friend called us to confirm else who knows which lawsuit we would have to deal with.
I've been told that I am not the only privileged one. Many of my students and friends using yahoo have faced similar experiences. So a word of caution to all yahoo email holders, beware, there's a hacker around.

Should we really hang Kasab???
I'm sure I would get a million people looking quizzically at me after reading the title (though I know my blog does not even attract 0.1% of that). But just imagine Bhagat Singh and many of our freedom fighters received the death sentence and were hanged. Hanging Kasab would be like honouring him for his war on our country.
There would be people arguing that hanging Kasab would be a warning to other terrorists of the consequences of their actions. But logically the young minds who get swayed into terrorism and other deadly acts come prepared that they have to die for the sake of their religion so killing them would only set a precedent to other terrorists that them dying would give them jannat whether it is through bullets or through the noose. So I think our legal system should come up with an alternative punishment to deter young minds from swaying to terrorism.
A train accident or a flight crash kills hundreds of people, but how many times do we hang the culprits. If killing 166 people was a crime, I think terrorising a nation by killing 166 people was the king all of crimes. And if death through the noose is the ultimate punishment for a crime, I think the king of all crimes should get a much deadlier punishment. Death is so easy. Poof and you are gone relieved from a lifetime of troubles, pain, sufferings. Kasab will probably have the last laugh if he is hanged.
I believe he deserves a much deadlier punishment than death.....I would have put him a mental asylum, I would have asked him to stay with each victim's family for a year serving them....but then again if there was remorse. With no remorse, what can be the best punishment????
