My First Speeding Ticket!
Today I got my first speeding ticket, after 10+ years of driving. I clocked a paltry 68kmph, when according to the traffic police, the limit is 50kmph. This was on the Rajiv Gandhi Salai (near Tidel Park), one of the best roads in Chennai, during a lazy mid-holiday-morning, when there was no other vehicle on the stretch except mine. The police officer was polite though, and I paid the fine of Rs. 300.
I love to drive fast, but I drive responsibly. I honor all traffic lights (it is a rarity in Chennai), be courteous to pedestrians and other drivers, keep the lane etc. There are people who drive rash. Mind you, rash driving is totally different from fast driving. Unfortunately, the police (CCTP) have no means or intentions to take away those rude mongrels off the street.
Drinking is not illegal. However, they urge you to "drink responsibly". I think speed limits should only be guidelines and drivers be let to "drive responsibly".

American Airlines - Bernard Jordan - False Prophets
I was checking out the news article about American canceling 850 flights, when this paragraph struck me: "Bishop Bernard Jordan, a Harlem minister, was in a first-class line trying to catch a flight to Atlanta, where he was scheduled to preach Wednesday night". Contrast this to what Jesus said to his disciples in Luke 9:3 -
And He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece." (NASB)
I have never heard of this man. Prodding further, I went to his site, the headline of which screams "FREE Prophecies are back!". Huh, when did prophecy come for a cost? It is so awful. Read about many of his antics here.
We should be very careful about such people. There are many youngsters, and particularly women, who are deceived by these people and fall in their trap. Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 7:15 -
"Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
