sooooooooo

*sigh*

you know, it really bothers me how unsafe even the web is these days. especially in blogging. if you mention specific entities' names.. they can sue you!

i do not want to be sued. can't afford it. do have some things that i would like to get off my chest though. *sigh*

i remember the following story (broad strokes), and it somehow reflects on my situation:

a man is at his king's court. he learns of some secret of the king's (something embarrassing).
man is forbidden from sharing the secret with anyone, on pain of his life.(?)
man feels an insane urge to tell *someone* about the secret.. so he goes into the forest and finds a tree with a hollow, and speaks the secret into the hollow.
some later point, the tree is cut down to make a drum to be played in the king's court.
the drum is played and it repeats the secret that the man had spoken into the tree...
man --> fucked!?!!

i miss the panchatantra and akbar and birbal's stories. they were awesome.
