come on, give this guy a break! at least he is trying and not sitting idle like his predecessors. being foreigners and having no say in voting, we are left with only two options - either whining or being optimistic and I am with the second option.

Posted in: Have you ever hit your child, no matter how lightly, as a means of discipline? See in context
Never felt the need to raise hand on my kid (he is five yrs now). I treat him like a grown up, talk to him and reason with him and believe me he understands better. I always encourage him to ask questions, however silly they may be and I believe hitting or giving corporal punishment may kill his drive to ask questions and seek answers in life out of fear. I want my kid to be fearless and not being afraid of anybody and for that the first person I should control is myself.

Posted in: Support your local police See in context
Nice article. I also support & respect local police and haven't had any bad incidences until now. Few times when on bicycle, I have been stopped by them but as soon as I showed them my alien resident card and they checked my bicycle number with their records they thanked me and let me go with a smile. Believe me it wasn't hard or troublesome at all. Once I was going out picnic with my family in car and by mistake crossed yellow line, the cop came and he first of all apologized for stopping me and asked me to carry on with our picnic and report him after I am back. That was so cool as it saved our plan for that day.
