Back in Engineering, a bunch of us close friends had the habit of asking ‘so what’s your point?‘, usually when one of us was sharing details about some important or serious incident with the rest. For instance, say a relatively shy friend was explaining about how he struck a conversation with a girl he had a…
Hi. This post is not an original. I read it on Facebook and thought, I have share it with my readers, since it’s relevant for most, if not all of us. So here goes… Once upon a time, there lived a King who, despite his luxurious lifestyle, was neither happy nor content. One day, the…
On October 31, 1984, a lady was assassinated by 2 men from the Sikh community. What ensued was over 3000 Sikhs being massacred by a crazed people, in a span of under 4 days. Think about it, under 4 days, 3000+ innocent Sikhs were killed, because 2 “other” Sikhs killed that lady. And what about justice? 49 of…
I usually do not reproduce or re-post any existing content on my blog. But here is one exception. Here’s a post written by Sangeeta Das, one of thousands of brave citizens who were part of the peaceful movement in Delhi, protesting against a brutal gang-rape (on Dec. 16) and the unsafe India that politicians have…
Scene 1: [http://ow.ly/gjkW7] manmohan singh to sushil kumar shinde: “ensure sense of security in Delhi” sushil kumar shinde: [nonchalantly] ok Life goes on as usual. Public: what about other cities, towns, and the country; genius? Scene 2: [http://ow.ly/gjkxc] manmohan singh to sushil kumar shinde: [long silence] sushil kumar shinde to public: bullshit, bullshit, bullshit You’re not…
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,…
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…
“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. Think of it–always.” – Mahatma Gandhi A friend of mine recently came across an article titled ‘The…
I have never worn a Livestrong wristband, but I could well understand the degree of inspiration, faith and belief that people felt while sporting one of those bands, anywhere around the world. It came from not just any foundation doing work towards a noble cause, but from a foundation that was inspired by a cancer…
A while back I was starting out on an email to a friend and was about to type the common “How are things at your end?” when I was reminded of a conversation I had with a friend some years ago. Whether she probably didn’t think too much while replying, or was in a mighty…
Britain will soon be taking a call on the 280 mn Pound a year development aid it has been providing to India. A bit about it: UK considers India to be a key strategic partner, and it also realized some years ago, that while India has been growing at a rapid pace, it still is…
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 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…
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…
State Home Minister R R Patil came up with a brainwave idea to curb crimes against the elderly in the city. His idea is, that every policeman must ‘adopt’ (take responsibility) of a senior citizen. What do some people have for breakfast? Policemen in our city, and across the country are underpaid, overworked, and hardly…
