Bombay Dreams

I was reading up my older blogs and noticed the last cpl of months that stuff I had been getting was very strait jacket like ...Now that I'm on the cusp with no major projects that I have undertaken I can kick my legs up and write something sinister... Something doggone stupid.. something un-nerving... preposterous... necrophilia, world war 3 they were all topics i had thought of... but here's something better...

The Hindu speakz of a drug bust in Calcutta. Some bad ass amount of E, so now I ask you dear reader, did u really expect IT, Spicy-India-Chai-Tea and Old Navy T-Shirts to be only exports to the west. I was just about waiting to dig this up and show case it..... Sure every one knew abt the slave trade in philipines, the child porn in Thailand, the opium trade of yester years out of China, the desginer drugs out of Hong Kong. But the ganja land of south asia couldnt be safe haven for synthetic drugs now can they...

The Frontline sez Indian immigrants bring drugs to honky-tonk towns and damage the urban youth... that's a hoot if you ask me..

But hey how about the raves in B'lore...read The Hindu ... see the beauty of the drug milieu in India is paan waalah's can sell u XTC, ICE and crack... the big boyz in bombay's underworld will make a cut... and so will the local goondahs... professional college students are just where the west wants them to be... rattling the cages of cultural confines and ready to do something daring and rebellious... call center telemarketers make too much expendable money so do the software code gurus ... and the stress of the western work style taking it's toll on the youth...

Goa, Bombay and B'lore are the prime circuits for these outfits to take camp... but i'dnt be surprised when the peddler on Marine Drive, Kochi comes up with a line that's globalization .. that's outsourcing... the west taught the sepoy's to smoke their crummy cigarette's and provided hootch and cigarette's to them for free...Opium and heroin can move over as designer synthetic drugs will rule the roost... txt msgs will fly across the globe about how when and where the payload will be delivered... It'll be 6 sigma efficient and supply chain managed.. The way I see it for every brown-nosed white apologetic ass in a MNC job there's a disillusioned unemployed sorry ass with just as much potential.. and all those kids need to keep busy and make a lil dough while they are at it ... but be careful kids ...there might be snitches..the TOI sez there will be... the Shashi Kapoor from Don wanna be's...

So India... Bombay Dreams are just around the corner.. Rohypnol is just a click or SMS away.....

What Classic Movie Are You?

Developing an Effective Leadership Development Program for Community College Students

Abstract

Community colleges are a democratizing force in post-secondary education, different from but equal to universities. They offer an expedient route to the labour market. This suggests the need for colleges to focus on the development of their students' leadership ability and to implement strategies for evaluating the success of leadership development efforts on college campuses. The goal of this paper is to document some of the ways community colleges can further promote student leadership development and implement innovative approaches to increase student engagement.
