Killer Kangaroo






CRRASH …. BANG ... RRIP…….. JAB-JAB……SLAP…… Ouch !!!
Reminding you of the noisy couple next door exchanging vessels and vases over a petty domestic dispute?
Er... Not quite.

Welcome to Australia moyte !!
The exclamations above are now a daily affair for the plethora of Indian students getting a pasting down under. And not from their teachers for incomplete homework.


Education abroad is a dream for every young Indian lad and lass. But if you choose to fly south east for this, you’ve got to pay a physical penalty.
Soft, nerdy, hapless Indian targets have been a favourite dart board for the junkie for all they could use to retaliate to golf clubs and baseball bats would be textbooks and pencils.



Thankfully, this time around, deaf bureaucratic ears have heard them cry foul. With the issue escalating to the ministry of external affairs, one would expect the result of negotiations to be fruitful. Stringent protective measures are the need of the hour rather than companions in remorse from the high command.
