I have been thinking of the coming sports spectacular in august time this year yeah the olympics, yes we have the olympics 2012 … I remember watching the opening ceremony in 2008 , that was held in Beijing china , I am sure everyone will agree to that , IT was a spectacular It was something worth watching – it was the best ever so far, china did wonderful in 2008.. the stadiums they built all of them were super awesome but then thinking about it all , IT is really amazing what you can do with no human rights and a billion slave labourers.. 🙂 ooops
So this year we have it in uk, although work is in full progress, sadly we have very stringent human labour rules but BUT.. BUT.. oh yes BUT .. The biggest problem we are going to face in UK for olympics is if health and safety get hold of it, we who live in uk, know how that works .. the claim for everything culture has also gone out of hand , people don’t use common-sense which apparently is not that common anymore.
Anyway coming back to the health and safety If they take it upon themselves to make sure this year olympics is held as per all their rules , I am wondering rather I am sure of the changes that will happen…
First of all lets take the hurdles race, they will have Ramps put up , WELL its health and safety issue how will someone jump over this hurdle, it is so risky they may fall down, hit their leg on the hurdle, or worse still some smart brains might just sue them for putting hurdles on a perfect straight TRACK.. 🙂 imagine all the suing that will take place for not putting the hurdles properly 🙂
Secondly imagine when they do a risk assessment on the Javelin throw .. asking fellow athletes some questions and the HORRIFIC look they will have when they are told the Javelin has to be thrown “YOU ARE NOT GOING To throw it” .. ARE YOU .. noooooooooooooooooo..
Same with boxing, A Russian or indian or any other county Boxer is Boxing with an English boxer, The moment he gets a Jab .. SUE THE COUNTRY .. You can’t hit somebody else .. It is an ASSAULT… 🙂 They might just call the police and you may just be charged with Section X of XYZ act.. 🙂
To put matters worse we will have the teachers and the education ministry will have their people Slogan-ing and rallying saying We can’t have Races … We can’t have anyone win the race .. it will upset the others, We can’t have Winners.. All the racers will be given the Gold medal.. no winners no losers.. 🙂
The weird and pressured regime of health and safety in UK 🙂 It has gone bonkers here anyone and everyone who can sue or put a claim for something is doing it , I so wonder something where has common sense gone.
I mean remember those good old days when we all had something that was called COMMON SENSE.. in those days.. When we saw a big hole in the road and we stepped aside to crossed it, If we saw a tile or a slab not put properly we avoided stepping on it , or we put a foot feel how it was and then put the second foot on..
oh WOW, how did you learn to do that, See a hole and cross it .. Well my parents told me not to be a MORON and I just carried on from there …
Here in UK if you happen to go for a walk in a park or anywhere and there is a pool or water reservoir in it , you will see all these signs around it at every possible place or a Big FENSE saying ..“Dont go in the water … you will fall and YOU MAY drown ..” I mean have we gone so stupid that we don’t realise we may drown.
Another thing that makes me so angry is the bloody political correctness … no one can say anything because someone can be offended, You cant say this or that, have to be so conscious about it , I think that if someone does get offended then SO WHAT.. whats wrong with it, It’s not as if a bomb has been exploded by Al qaieda killing hundreds ..
You know when we were kids , we came home told our parents
“he called me an idiot ”
Parents said “don’t worry about it , he is an idiot too”..
Nowadays the child will cry and the parent will start to cry too and the usual moan will start Oh I am offended, I am so offended and I have rights ..
To all those people let me tell you WELL SO WHAT be offended, nothing happens you are an adult .. deal with it .. Haven’t heard of anyone dieing of being offended.. GROW UP
And I bet now that most of you have read it please don’t go about saying Oh I have read this article by Bikram and I am offended .. I am so offended reading this article…
LOL!!! At all the things your brain comes up with, Bikram!! AND AM i first again! wow! I am getting luckier and luckier if so. 🙂 Acha.. OK.. Now, let me see.. am i offended? HMMM, not really. You see, these days, making money through unique ways has become the norm.
And when you can sure someone and fleeece money out of him/her, then why not? Waise bhi recession ki wajeh se wehle log bahut kuch karne ke liye tayaar ho jate hain. 😛
Anyways, you take care…

I think in the US and UK, people sue to make a quick buck. That’s all there is to it. Make money at someone else’s expense and live the good life. I bought a flat iron recently and they had detailed instructions on the locations it can be used in. One of the locations you cannot use it in is the shower or the bathtub. Seriously, companies have started included 6 pages of warnings in order to avoid frivolous law suits. Ridiculous, this is!!
