The new Robin Hood of India: Akshay Kumar

Hey Everyone…

It’s me the new Robin Hood of India, I rob from the rich (producers) and give to the poor (my staff), Hehe!! I’m kidding, seriously, it’s comments like these that get me in trouble ;o)…

So did you guys read about my ever so exciting capture by the police, and my wife’s surrender story over my ‘Unbuttoning incident’… My life sounds like a scene out of C.S.I Miami right now I swear, this year is definitely going down in the book of ‘Who framed Akshay Kumar’…
The STORY goes something like, I land back in Bombay and within seconds I’ve had our famous press calling up and reporting that I’ve been captured by the police after running away coz of my supposedly “obscene Levi’s ramp walk”, and my wife has apparently surrendered herself out of fear for her husbands captivity. Listen I understand journalists need to sell their papers but guys you can’t make a fool out of your readers, that story was worse than a ‘C’ grade drama serial… When all that really happened was I came back and drove to the Police station myself, signed some papers, joined my hands, wished them all a pleasant day and went home to my family, it was as boring as that… But instead I’ve been made to feel like the Bad Boy criminal of Bombay for the first time in my life… Now I just need to get a pair of green tights find a bow and arrow, change my name to Robin Hood and I’ll officially be the loved outlaw…

Haha and do you know what I later found out, the guy that placed this ridiculous complaint against me, has actually filed numerous other pointless case’s against other celebrities also. Well I hope he’s happy and has enjoyed his fair share of desperate attention, was it really worth it man…

Now with all that nonsense behind, I want to talk to you about something very serious.

Some of you may already know but one of Bollywood’s best make-up artists has just been through a spine chilling horrific experience, I don’t want to delve into it too much out of pure respect for her. But her ordeal should be a wake up call for all of us. Bless her, she was tortured so badly, I was choked up so much when I heard what had happened to her, the whole industry should be thankful she is still here with us now. This brave lady has literally faced death in front of her very eyes, and she is such a wonderful woman, so nice, she’d never hurt anyone. See, life’s not safe, it’s not fair, it’s scary and unpredictable. People of India please start being more careful, if I read one more rape or murder case in out city I think I’ll cry.. Why can’t Mumbai adopt something from Singapore! The crime rate is so incredibly low there, and it’s only because of the “Death Sentence”. It’s given for a lot of severe crimes, no joke, people are even too scared to spit on the street there for fear of being arrested… Now I can’t change the law, but I can advise all of you, especially the women of India to please learn self defence, murderers don’t train to become killers, they just get up and commit sinful acts, but you yourselves can train to kill if necessary if you are ever faced with such vicious humans… Dear God I’m not saying carry a gun, I just think you should all know how to defend yourselves and run before it’s too late and your loved ones are having to explain to your children or your partner that you suffered coz you didn’t know how to fight back… I didn’t learn martial arts to be some famous dude, I trained because the discipline was something I didn’t want to live life without… Tonight please think about how your going to protect yourselves and your family, take care, and live life like you care about it…

Love and Prayers to all of you
Akshay…

Kolkata:

The inquiry committee probing the death of a IIT Kharagpur student has given a clean chit to the institute and concluded that Rohit Kumar died of serious head injury which he had sustained after falling from rickshaw.

Kumar, a third-year electrical engineering student, died on March 22 after he complained of severe headache and consulted doctors at B C Roy Hospital. His death sparked protests by the students and the director of the institute, Damodar Acharya, had to tender his resignation.

The two-member committee, comprising doctors Bibhulkalyani Das and Sitesh Dasgupta, ruled out medical negligence on the part of doctors or hospital staff. They said that following an attack of epilepsy, Kumar became unconscious and fell from a rickshaw injuring his head. On the basis of evidence, the two-member panel concluded that no better treatment could have been given to Kumar.

The committee, however, pointed out that there is a need for better facilities at B C Roy Hospital and a multi-specialty hospital at IIT-Kharagpur.

According to the report, Kumar died between 1.45 pm to 2.15 pm and IIT Kharagpur director Acharya and other officials had no information about the condition of the student.

“Prof D Acharya, Prof M Chakraborty and Prof M Bhattacharya came to know about the incident after he died. They are not responsible for his sad demise,” the report stated.

The report has also suggested taking up of immediate steps like installation of a fully-automated blood analyser, acid-base gas analyser and ELISA. Arrangements should also be made for culture and sensitivity tests. There was also a need for a 24X7 pharmacy, the report added.

The inquiry committee also stressed that ambulance services were not up to the mark and at least two modern ambulances with various facilities should be made available to B C Roy Hospital. There was need to upgrade the surgical facilities at the hospital and more paramedical staff.

Citing examples of other IITs like IIT Madras, the committee pointed out that the institute can take up programmes of stress management and frequent health camps for the benefit of students.
