After a few weeks of hectic work, i was looking forward to the Queen Birthday long weekend, the only long weekend for the next 5 months. It didn't start pretty well when the forecast was out with all three days being rainy and gloomy. Friday i was down with severe throat pain, booked an appointment with doc to find out i got a bacterial infection and he has prescribed 50 tables of penicillin and 3 days of rest. The first thing i googled was to find if there is any possibility of an penicillin overdose.The answers i found were No, anyways i will stop it once i feel better. Felt much better today, so drove my friend around for his Saturday house hunting.Finally had a chance to take out my camera after nearly 2 months to capture the gloomy, rainy South Melbourne from my apartment.

The only good thing about this weekend is the French Open Finals. Even though i expected it to be Federer vs Nadal affair it ended up being a Novak vs Nadal match. It really hurts when Fedex goes down in straight sets. Would be interesting to see which of the two legends Federer or Sachin retire first?

Hope it is as good as the Aus Open final this year but the only change being Nadal wins in the end. My mom is a big fan of Novak after she saw him in Aus open because she thinks he is funny and down to earth.This truly is the
Golden Era of Men's Tennis with the domination of these three men. Can only pity on Andy Murray but he has a good future ahead, novak was in his shoes a few years ago.

Satyameva Jayate episode 4 was good around the unethical doctors in the noble profession. This reminded me of one of my childhood memories. I was around 10 years old when a huge hospital was inaugurated just outside our house. A politician came there to inaugurate it and address the gathering. He started with saying, "Do you know the difference between Yamaraj (God of death) and Doctors? Yamaraj only takes your life, doctors not only take your life but also get paid well for it". Should see the face of the doctor, he then pulled back saying our doctor is not like that. From my perspective, what aamir did was correct and he should not apologise to anyone. His objective was to showcase the unethical side of doctors and he did it correctly. He also showed a few examples of how noble medical professional continue to succeed without having to kill their conscience for money.
Satyameva Jayate epsiode 5 was around honour killings. While i totally agree with his view on honour killings and it is not acceptable at any cost, i thought he has sent the wrong message to the people.He has sent a strong message that honour killings is a crime but he has also made all parents who oppose the love of their children look like villains. I don't agree with that perspective. In today's world, people fall in love every second week and there has been several case of infatuations, time pass love or merely scams. Parents who oppose love because they are more experienced and they know what is good for you. Even from their perspective they would be more than happy to look like villains, if they are successful in preventing you from falling in love traps. I have seen people who wait for years to get their parents approval to get married and people who forget their love and get married to someone else and live happily. Just my views on this.
I hope to get better soon and enjoy the rest of the long weekend.
