2008-05-02 14:52:00

Ok, just a little late… “Imagine me needing someone. Back on Earth I never did. Oh, there were women. Lots of women. Lots of love-making but no love. You see, that was the kind of world we’d made. So I left, because there was no one to hold me there. ” -Chuck
Remembering PN Oak: The original Hindutva historian
2008-04-04 23:40:00
Does the name of Professor Oak rings a bell? The historian who used to make claims about Taj Mahal originally being a Hindu temple and similar other assertions about Qutub Minar and many other mosques.That was the era when RSS didn't have historians, scientists, writers, journalists, doctors, academicians and other professionals in its fold. But Oak, was quite dedicated to his cause. He was mocked at, but he continued to publish his works, make such claims and write letters in newspapers.Oak died sometime back. Not many tears were shed. Perhaps, because he had become irrelevant. Or may be, the Saffron brigade now had an army of able professionals to espouse its cause in every field, much more eloquently in TV cameras.Still, one expected a few obituaries. Hardly any attention was paid to the demise of the original Hindutva Historian. The man who had founded the Institute for Writing Indian History, spent all his life, for the cause, especially in the era when Marxist historians domi...
Obituary................
2008-04-03 14:09:00
  The sad passing of Common Sense   Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No-one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were long in bureaucratic red tape.    He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in and out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, life isn't always fair, and maybe it was my fault.   Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are in charge).   His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place.   Reports of a six year old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condit...

Ask Gets A Fitting Obituary
2008-03-06 15:27:00
Yesterday morning, Danny Sullivan at Search Engine Land wrote a blazing obituary of the search engine Ask.com. What strikes me about this is the anger, bitter tone in which he writes. Yes, Ask.com had some innovation going on. There were a lot of people rooting for Ask. And they might have survived if Barry Diller had ...

Lillian Disney Obituary
2008-02-09 16:59:00
I posted Walt Disney's obituary a few months back, and just ran across his wife Lillian's as well. I thought it was so nicely done, so I thought I would post it. From the December 18, 1997 New York Times: Lillian Disney, the widow of Walt Disney and a prominent patron of the arts, died on Tuesday at her home in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles after suffering a stroke on Monday. She was 98. Mrs. Disney, who met Mr. Disney in the 1920's while working at a low-level job at his fledgling studio, was married to the mogul for 41 years. ''This really is the end of an era for Disney,'' said Roy E. Disney, a nephew of Mrs. Disney's and vice chairman of the Walt Disney Company. He added: ''She was a great lady, full of laughter and fun and always prepared to speak the truth, tough and loving at the same time.'' A publicity-shy figure, Mrs. Disney became highly active in a number of charities after her husband's death in 1966 and emerged as a leading patron of t...

Campaign Obituary: John Edwards
2008-01-30 21:14:00
Despite weeks of assertions that he would continue to campaign up to the convention, John Edwards unexpectedly dropped out of the race today. Making an announcement from the same place he began his campaign more than a year ago, Edwards appeared in New Orleans to confirm that he was abandoning his second presidential bid.Overshadowed since the outset by two so-called celebrity candidates, Edwards struggled to keep up with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton financially, falling behind in a media war that painted a two-person race. Putting most of his chips in Iowa's kickoff caucuses, he narrowly edged Clinton for second, but his distant third place finish on Saturday in his home state of South Carolina probably dealt the final blow. The campaign had acknowledged that their path to the nomination had become extremely difficult, but argued they intended to win as many delegates as they could to gain influence at the convention. Edwards was the driving force of the policy debate for ...

The AP Has Written Britney Spears’ Obituary
2008-01-18 03:42:00
 brought by www.thequeerofallmedia.com   January 16, 2008Zavar Manokian/BuzzFoto.com The Associated Press began preparing Britney Spears’ obituary within the past month, Usmagazine.com has learned. “We are not wishing it, but if Britney passed away, it’s easily one of the biggest stories in a long time,” AP entertainment editor Jesse Washington tells Us. “I think one would agree that Britney seems at risk right now,” Washington adds. “Of course, we would never wish any type of misfortune on anybody and hope that we would never have to use it until 50 years from now…but if something were to happen, we would have to be prepared.” Washington also says the AP has a “pretty extensive obituary operation,” and that staffers are “constantly adding people.” Following a bizarre night out Wednesday, Spears’ pal Sam Lutfi phoned into Ryan Seacrest’s radio show, claiming, “everything’s fine.”  source

Alwida Shafiqa Aapa
2008-01-06 20:47:00
Eminent writer and one of the most well-known Urdu satirists, Shafiqa Farhat, passed away on Sunday. The 76-year-old author had a long literary career, spanning over half-a-century.She had devoted her life to reading, writing and teaching. She hadn't married but Shafiqa Aapa probably never felt lonely with her numerous friends, their family members and admirers. Such was her simplicity, warmth and hospitality that everybody felt drawn to her.Shafiqa Aapa was a humanist and a strong believer in secularism. She had friends in all communities. I remember an incident involving Hindi writer Kanti Kumar Jain whom she considered her brother. Once her relatives from Pakistan had come and they saw her tie the 'rakhi' on his wrist and putting tilak, they were quite horrified. Shafiqua Aapa was sitting on the floor with all the paraphernalia that was required to celebrate raksha-bandhan with her brother.One of her sisters objected and said that she had turned this house into a temple.

Hugh Massingberd dies at age 60.Telegraph readers found themselves regaled by such characters as Canon Edward Young, the first chaplain of a striptease club; the last Wali of Swat, who had a fondness for brown Windsor soup; and Judge Melford Stevenson, who considered that "a lot of my colleagues are just constipated Methodists".The column also made a speciality of tales of derring-do from the Second World War. The foibles of aristocrats proved another fertile source.The 6th Earl of Carnarvon appeared as a "relentless raconteur and most uncompromisingly direct ladies' man".The 9th Earl of St Germans listed his recreations as "huntin' the slipper, shootin' a line, fishin' for compliments".The 12th Marquess of Huntly married a nurse 40 years his junior: "I still have my own teeth. Why should I marry some dried up old bag?"Part of the fun lay in the style which Massingberd evolved to pin down the specimens on display. Liberace, readers were gravely informed, "never married".
