Oh, brother.

Normally, if you see a person you know or a friend on the front page of the newspaper, you'd feel happy.

But if it's for murder, with a term of imprisonment involved, things are a little different. Damn! is the first thing that came to my mind. I mean, I knew he'd gotten into some shit, I'd even heard about it all the way in London, but I didn't know it was this serious. Holy Crap.

A few years ago, there was this other guy who used to hit majorly on my friend and my then girlfriend. It seemed to be all in good fun - he picked them up from college, took them around, went to parties...fun. He was rich, former model, fancy car - the works. My girlfriend was beginning to get somewhat wary of his advances and I was deciding on a good time to sort of confront him and tell him to back off.
BAM!
A week later, he's arrested for rape, blackmail, extortion and godknowswhat.

Hoo boy. I seem to be well on my way to achieving my childhood ambition of being a rich and powerful gangster. I've now got connections.

Mom will be so happy. She always did want a bhai.
