A unusual Sunday

Hi Bloger readers

Well a unusual Sun day in Gurgaon

Have a lay in , well till 8:30 at least. Catch up on the news on the web , go to the gym for and hour and back for porridge with honey. Sit around and read all day.
Been reading historical books on India and there are lots of them.
It makes reading come alive when you pick up a book on where you live.
Best book for Mr Blender in the right situation was, Tom Clancy and the Hunt for Red October, well he was on an Aircraft carrier with an anti submarine squadron in the very early 80's at the time of reading it. Had even been on trials with some of the technology that they mentioned in the book.
Films are never the same, so get reading everyone

Mrs Pimms is now in a book reading club out here and has been picking up stuff she never knew before, another good reason to pick up the bound pages.
Currently its the Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfield, Mr blenders is watching his back and has hidden all the sharp knives as a precaution

Had to have all our door locks changed following the sacking of our little tea-leaf, the servant.
We think he had some accomplices as the phone had been used on a day when he did not pick up the key?

Its not the monies but the loss of trust in someone that's the disapointment.
He was on a good number that could of rewarded him for a lot longer than the little amount that he gained, now he has lost everything. Well for a while at least.
He will be getting banned from the complex , just have to get my Hindi Friends to translate the letter to hand to security .
At least he can't do it to others in where we live , and I am sure he has?
It is also a very light punishment for India
We could of called the "cops and got the blagger arrested" but we considered that a bit to much. Life goes on

A few stories on the past and present to see what happens to thieves here.
All found on the web so are they true of not ?
We would not wish this on anyone, but you are in India a developing country so many things are different.

BBC News : An Indian suspect was forced by police to eat 50 bananas as a laxative, to retrieve a necklace he was accused of stealing and swallowing.
You can keep the necklace if you ever swipe it from Mrs Pimms !!!!!

Other papers:Kolkata - Two sisters were hanged from a tree and beaten up mercilessly in a West Bengal village after a kangaroo court found them guilty of stealing.
The sisters, accused of stealing jewellery and cash from the house of a school teacher, were tied to the branch of a tree for six hours and caned, slapped and clubbed because they refused to 'confess'. They were employed as domestic help in the teacher's house.

A few days ago, some landowners chopped off the fingers of a 10-year-old Dalit girl, Khusbu, for plucking a few leaves of spinach from a vegetable field in a village in Bhagalpur district.

Patna, Dec 25 (IANS) A middle-aged Dalit woman in Bihar was tortured and paraded half-naked on the orders of the husband of a woman village head for allegedly stealing a few bananas.

Ranchi - A village panchayat in Jharkhand has ordered that the hands of six boys be chopped off as punishment for stealing lac (resin) from nearby forests.
The verdict was passed by the panchayat of Kanderkeda village in Simdega district Sep 20 after the parents of the six boys failed to deposit the fine slapped by the panchayat, according to local media reports.
The six minors are accused of stealing a kilogram of lac from nearby forests. When the theft was brought to notice of the panchayat, it slapped a fine on the boys' parents.
I dont know how recent each of these are but they did come up as the top searches

Why did he do it we ask?
Well I suppose because it was there to take?
Still he should not of been in the wardrobe or drawers hunting for stuff that did not belong to him, as he has picked on the wrong targets this time.
He has to answer to his god as I told him, as he will have to live with it for a very long time.
Our hearts and minds know what happened as we know he does too.

Guilt is always a hard thing to live with as you only have yourself to blame for the way that you feel or the position it puts you in.

Well thats the way we both feel about it

So we now have learned lesson number two and three about India, well it could of been anywhere?
2-Don't give your keys to anyone to look after.
3-Lock one room up in your flat with all your valuables in , that way you take away temptation and remove all opportunity for anyone.

What , you have forgotten number one ?
1-Take a fly spray when you go on a boat in Kerela , just to spray your room before you turn in, see previous blogs
There is also rule number
0- enjoy life no matter what it throws at you.

Mrs Pimms is off to explain to the other Indian couple he works for before Mr Blenders drops his letter off at security on Monday night.

Namaste
