One week down, 5 more to go

There are few things that set off emotional fire charges as that of tragedy the of the WTC. The reasons maybe obvious because of living to it in close proximity etc but the thread runs a bit deeper. Some of my fondest memories of the good times in the US were in on the 107th floor, Windows to the World, and perhaps the first place I got the feeling that 'Yes I can also live life kingsize'. Even during frequent trips to the city to meet a friend or to party in the village, a side glance at those towering beacons of hope always gave a me a feeling of accomplishment and in someway proof of the ingenuity of humankind. I was in Dallas the week the tragedy hit working on an assignment for a startup wireless company and I can still clearly remember the the sinking feeling in my gut when I saw towers crumblng in the company's cramped conference room. Eerily, no-one whispered a single word but stood wonderstruck in total non-belief of what they had just witnessed. Next monday when the staff came back to work they found the front doors sealed and a note explaining that the company has closed down due to the uncertainities caused by 9/11. This is was among many ways the fallout of the crumbling steel towers affected our life. I could ramble on but my point is slightly different.. Given that my new found immobility has given me loads of time to trawl the web and spends lots of time viewing documentaries and bizarre websites in the hope of actually coming to the end of the internet :) I have read odd reports about grandiose conspiracy theories about 9/11 and particularly about the WTC being a controlled demolition. I found a couple of videos that really make an excellent and perhaps even scientific case about it. The first video requires some time but is more elaborate and perhaps more convincing. A lot of evidence is provided but some of it can be circumstantial but nevertheless its cannot be ignored. As with all things in life, view it with a pinch of salt and don't forget that everyone has an agenda. The second one is more compact and is oratory in style though touches on the same points. I don't endorse this thoery but I must admit I am little more convinced than I was from reading these articles. Viva l'internet!! Imagine these theories were true, I shudder to think how powerless we are in so called free societies. Conjuring such an elaborate plan is probably more complicated than building the towers themselves and the brains behinds these hideous designs are not fit enough to be admitted to the finest psychiatric wards in the world. Lets hope and pray these theories are indeed claptrap.. A lot less pain and less dependent on my Ibruprofen tabs. Have physio appointments a couple of time a week and hopefully in a couple of days will move around a little more. I am reading an excellent book now, Shantaram, which is already on my top ten list of book and may end up at the very top once I finish it. Will post a review once I finish. I will start working a little from home next week.
