Delhi Police – Grow a Brain

To the Degenerate Idiots in the Delhi Police, Politicians sisters, daughters, mothers and wives do not get raped. They are totally unaffected and could not care less about what is happening around the streets and alleys of their country. It was your lack of responsibilities that led to the gruesome incident on Dec 16, 2012. And yet,…

Make The Punishment Fit The Crime

In the Delhi gang rape case, let the government not consider life imprisonment for the 6 guilty bastards. We citizens do not want to feed and rear such vermin for the rest of their damned lives. Like Juhi Chawla suggested, make the punishment an ‘eye for an eye’. I say, let the punishment be such…

The Ultimate Power

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.

The King of Traumatic Times

How Vijay and Siddharth Mallya are handling the whole Kingfisher Airline fiasco is appalling. In a similar situation, way back, Richard Branson sold his first and extremely-close-to-his-heart business, Virgin Records at the insistence of financial institutions, so that the resulting funds could be infused into Virgin Atlantic. He supposedly cried the day the company was sold to EMI….

Respect Women

Respect Women Is it really that difficult to see, or am I missing something? 19 rapes have taken place in a span of one month in Haryana. I simply cannot wrap my head around the supposed solution doing the rounds, where people are considering lowering the marriageable age for girls to 15-16 years. Are we…

Real Pest-ate India

Is it Real Estate India, or Real Pest Ate India? 350 acres of land acquired for public interest by the Haryana government given to DLF for possibly a song. DLF gave Rs. 65 crore of unsecured loans to Vadra to purchase DLF properties at highly discounted prices. Share capital of Vadra’s companies went from Rs.50…
