Mauritian Law : No more than 2 dogs!

About Me, Articles, Blogging, General, News March 29th, 2008

Hello everyone…

I was astonished by wat i read this morning in the Le Defi Plus newspaper…


title.jpg

Oh, no, not exactly by this title, but rather, one sentence from that particular article, as shown below…

extract.jpg

According to an inspector of the MSPCA, an owner can have only 2 dogs, else, he is considered as a dog breeder, thus has to possess a permit issued by that organisation.

Well, now look in your neighborhood…

How many of you have more than 2 dogs? do you have a dog breeder permit? lol!

Take a minute to think about that more deeper, if an owner can have only 2 dogs, then, if there are 5 persons in that family, living under 1 roof, that makes 5×2=10dogs, it that right?

btw, this is Pam, our 2nd dog at home…
Oh yes, then i think that u can have more than 2 dogs in your yard, you are safe from the law side :D

Wait wait wait, another thing…

Is there any law for other animals? Birds? Cats?

Thats so stupid!

Its high time that those laws are revised, as well as all of the institutions, which are completely outdated with their laws and principles established centuries ago… just like those famous “100ml of rainfall” which caused the death of ppl among our population.

btw, yesterday i bought an ipod shuffle 1GB… nice thing and so SMALL!

Perhaps some of you may have forgotten the following:

  • Nearly 3/4 of the island was in a complete blackout due to a fault in ONE of the electric infrastructure in early 2005!
  • ICTA blocking facebook access!
  • An unhappy suspended technician hacking the mauritius telecom system and the whole country deprived of internet!
  • Something more frequent, a minor accident on the motorway early in the morning and paralyzing the whole traffic for hours!

Do you remember more examples of this type???

Nice surprises since yesterday, so i will start from there itself…

It all started by a lunch, prganised by my project team members

lunch2.jpg lunch3.jpg

Then, i distributed sweety sweets to the whole DCDM 5th floor, got a nice card and pen as gifts…

I didnt expect that the 2nd part of the birthday celebration would be so …surprising!

We planned to meet in Shooters after work and at about 7pm, i joined Dhaneesha, Veronique, Richard, Rama and Nirvini…
After a drink, and of course “bane kouchou kouchou” between those present, who were organising something, which turned out to be nice :D

Suddenly, some (nice & hot) waitresses of shooters came before me with a nice and large cake, with a Happy Birthday song being played in the background, in the whole shooters!

Everyone there gazed at us, with the birthday cake, and its candles…
LOL, it was so ….nice of course, and embarassing for me, with everyone looking at me, just imagine! i dont have words to describe that…

Thnks Dou, Vero, Richard, Rama & Nirvini!

After that small party, we ate at pizza hut, after making rounds and rounds in port louis, trying to find some food at about 10pm!

I reached home, nearly 0030hrs!


I woke up by the loads of happy birthday wishes being sent through sms at about 6am and immediately, i contacted the others to wake them up, koz i had organised something for my birthday since the last days…

A “Randonnee Dans Black River Gorges Natural Park!” Organised by the Underground Committee, under the code name “Underground In Nature Version 2.0″, the first one being, “Monte Le Pouce”

Participating members : Nisha, Vero, Vana, Steve, Chandra, Ravi, Michael, Sandra, Vissen, Fadil, Zainab and myself…


gorges1.jpg
Everyone was worried, because of the loads of rain during the night and we didnt know if we would be able to climb down from Petrin to the Natural Park as planned…
A van picked all of us, as scheduled and despite the HEAVY RAIN, we started to our journey down to the Nature Park Parking, at the bottom.

Oh yes, before i forget, thnks Fadil and Zainab for the surprise birthday cake in the middle of the forest, with each and everyone in the group singing happy birthday! that was original!!!

Lots of us fell down, full of mud, drenched 100% and everyone was worried if u would succeed in reaching the bottom, on time and without hurt!

But, as Usual, WE DID IT!

4 painful hours later, we reached the bottom, near the river where Sandra, Vissen and Myself swimmed in the water for some mins, well, at least, tried to swim!
The van picked us back and at 6pm, i reached home, where the birthday celebrations continued!

My next door cousins, Deepa & Neha had a nice time, crashing eggs on my head :D

Thats how i have been celebrating my birthday with my friends and family :DI would like to thank everyone who participated today, but also, the loads of friends who wished me happy birthday, either on mobile, sms, msn or facebook!

komik net ! moriciens bien originale…
see the lyrics below and download the song from here(2.4Mb)

*****************************************************************************

VERSION PIRATES - On S’attache

When Navin is ill

Il devient hostile

Il veut pas que la presse nous en informe

 

Quand son ti’ vente a mal

Un ti suppo oral

 

Il a toujours l’impression qu’elle  l’espionne

Il Confond constipations

Avec conspirations

 

REF

 

Et il fait tout ce qu’il faut pour

Qu’il l’attache et qu’il l’emprisonne

Avec sa police, qui nous impressionne- même pas

Qu’il l’attache et même qu’il l’assomme

Et rien n’empêche, a c’qu’il la bâillonne

Oh non…

 

D’un chef de file

Il a pas le profil

Mais sur sa santé l’aime pas qu’on le questionne

Y s’prend pour James Bond

En Aston Martin,

Faut dire qu’il la préfère à l’Aspirine

 

Comme chacha il hait la presse

On dit tel père tel fesse (Hé, tel fils !, Ah bon…)

 

REF

 

Et il fait tout ce qu’il faut pour

Qu’il l’attache et qu’il l’emprisonne

Sa cellule de Conne qui nous impressionne – même pas !

Il rabâche et il s’époumonne

Soigne so crise lasthme are coca ek rhum

Oh non…

 

PONT

 

On le sait bien

Les quotidiens , les hebdos, la radio, ca lui fait mal…

Tout a fait anormal

Et c’est ran

Que Calikan

Lui conseille des trucs pareils

A chaque Ercéfuryl

Mais t’es qui ? 

T’es pas normal..

 

REF

Il fait tâche dans son ti caleçone

I’ faut qu’il avale un ti’immodium, oh oui

Il attache et il emprisonne

Si la presse parle de sa cortisone

Oh non…

Il se fâche, faire dimane pardone

Envoy la police pou li pose questiones, il faut

Qu’on le lache car il nous couillone

Couma ene Andrews, bizin fair li fonne…

Oh oui

Do you believe in god?

About Me, Articles, Blogging, Fun, General March 10th, 2008

Note : This is only my point of view…

You may not agree with me, and express ur own beliefs…

God is a figment of man’s imagination.
We YOU created him in our your undeniable lust for security and a need for purpose. God doesn’t exist. Until evidence is given to support His existence, no rational thinker can put faith into religion.

Its not a secret, I simply never believed in god…
Everybody in my surroundings know well how much i care for him, to such extent that during any hindou fast, i have either Chicken or lol “Mo saucisse et mo disefs” (copyright @mong colleagues)

jhtn43l.jpg

I found no reason y i should follow those millions of ppl praying to those imaginary ‘creatures’ but nevertheless, i do respect their way of life…

One simple example, i quoted this today @ work….

This Sunday, i read in 5-Plus that a few hindou devotees owned their life to the “Kawal” they built and were carrying back to their village after their pilgrimmage to Grand Bassin. Some driver has unfortunately lost control of his car, hit with 3 of them and struck with the Kawal.
Those pilgrims feel that without their “kawal”, they would have probably lost their life…

aaarrrrrrrr!
If instead of wandering on the street, on their way to pray to ‘Him’, they would probably be at home and none of them would have been hurt in anyway, nor would have his leg plastered! lol !

godpc.jpg

The only times i go to Grand Bassin, is when we go out for Plucking Goyaves de Chine or for a picnic somewhere, with lots of food in the car :)
I think its the 4th year i havent gone there to “pray”…

Quite often, i like to question people:

To croire dan bondier?

While some of them would answer by a firm “OUI”, a few of them would reply back “wi imper imper”

How can u believe in something “imper”?
Its either a YES or a NO!

question.jpg

One simple reason y (some) ppl (especially youngsters) believe foolishly in God is because since their birth, they have been always been taught that ‘the one above’ will always here to help you in ur bad times, you must pray constantly, blabla….its because the way you were brought up.
just ask ur parents, they will continue the paragraph…

Not believing in god, keeps me open minded, enables me to understand other people in my surroundings, without first asking myself “hey malbar sa, non lascar, or even nation sa!”

Not believing in god gives me the liberty to believe in other things, use that time in a more constructive way doing things i like, spending time with PEOPLE WHO REALLY EXIST, instead of believing that one day, my wishes will be realized, probability -0.01 …

add_toon_infophp.gif

And what if its purely a coincidence that ur wish has been fulfilled?
Have u ever thought of that?

As said someone : “L’espoir fait vivre les imbeciles….”

I have stopped counting the number of time i get clashes at home, just because i dont follow the beliefs of my parents or my surroundings, or because i eat things which a hindou is not supposed to eat….

Hey u indian guy/gurl, have u ever tried Porc/Beef?
No? then you are foolish (for me)

& what if one day u have nothing to eat, except some delicious miam miam, porc/beef meat?

toon222god.jpg

God’ if ever u r reading my blog and dont like wat am saying here,
you, who possess all those powers,
ban my blog,
make my server hard disk crash,
Oh god, u can do everything, ya, really everything!

& y dont u leave a comment btw? LOL

Underground’s Camping 4.01

Triolet, the longest village & TBS, wat a bus service!

About Me, Articles, Blogging, General, Work-Boulot March 1st, 2008

Situated in the north of the island, Triolet is one of the biggest village in Mauritius, but certainly the longest of all. Populated with over thousands of people from all religious beliefs, the MY village, lacks nothing but a good bus service! we will come to that a little bit later….

trioletboard.jpg

Among the existing infrastructures we have for instance:

  • excellent roads, with over 5 humps(speed breakers) lol !
  • a large market place, XXL size,
  • Police Station, Fire Station, Postal Service, Health Care Center
  • 3 main primary schools, over 10 colleges, tens of pre-primary schools,
  • a branch of practically all banks of Mauritius and
  • perhaps hundred of bus stops, with thousands of unsatisfied bus users!

bus-stop.jpg

One particularity of Triolet is that it can be said to have no “business center” since everything is scattered all long the main road, divided into different regions, among which we have the famous 3 (7eme mille, 8eme mille & 9eme mille), 3-Boutiques, Cinema Anand, Cinema Cassée, Derningham, Solitude, Terminus & etc…

Thats for a brief intro about the village and
what if we discuss about the bus service?

200802281809-small.jpg   Triolet Bus Service has the exclusivity to be the only 1 bus company to “serve” over the village and the neighboring villages : Trou aux Biches, Grand Baie, Cap Malheureux, Pointe aux Piments, St Antoine, Arsenal, Riviere du rempart, Fond du sac (added to the request of Neha & Deepa, telling me wat to write here) & etc… without forgetting Pointe aux Sables & La Tour Koeing.

Unfortunately, when it comes to wait the bus early in the morning, then its better to “prend ene la bougie rouge”.

tbs-view.jpg

During school days, at times, you can wait upto 30-45 mins to get a bus in which u can find a STANDING PLACE!
Be it a school day or a holiday, there is the same number of buses on the roads + perhaps a few buses dedicated to colleges. However when its your turn to enter a normal bus, 3/4 of the passengers are students!
For instance, several times i had to wait on the bus stop from 0705 to 0745 before getting a bus to go to work.

If one day you have to go to the capital during the peak time ( 07:15-08:00), i would advise you either set out much earlier or much later!

I am sure, there must be someone who is directly related to the management of Triolet Bus Service (TBS) reading this, so this is for you!

Kot to eter

  • kant mo bisin faire porte manteau dan bis dan gramatin?
  • kant mo bisin pourri dan soleil pu attane bis ki zamais vini?
  • kant gagne place diboute dans ene bis ki ressembler boite sardine?

Another thing….again on the buses from TBS…

bus-sonette.jpg

Notice the arrows (^ above ^) pointing to the bells (sonnettes).

In most of the buses of TBS, they are situated nearly at the roof of the bus, and now imagine the following scene:

A small girl (like Neha, height : 1m50) stopping at the next bus stop and trying to “peze sonnette”. Poor girl, her hands will never reach the bell, and she will have to ask the help of an adult(long enough) each time she travels in such buses to and from school!!!

This problem does not only concerns Neha, but hundreds/thousands of children, students and elderly people travelling by bus!

Kot lizier bane f**** la ti eter kant zotte ti place sa sonnettes la sa hauteur la?
:@:@:@!!!

meme mwa mo gagne probleme!

This post reflets the reality of loads of inhabitants of Triolet and those from the neighbouring villages, served by TBS!!!

SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE!


btw, i now have 400 friends on facebook ;)
