Bye 2012

Only one hour left. One more year is passing away...

No regrets.

Wish new year brings Happiness to all, at least some peace of mind if not happiness.

Be the Change

Now everyone is talking about bringing change to the Justice system in India. Which of course is important. Justice in our country takes so long that it is actually not justice. Things have to be improved a lot here.

One more thing which is important to all of us, is to change ourselves. Lets us all resolve that we will change our mentality. Not all of us are mentally sick to justify a rape or murder or even eve teasing. But most of us are sick enough to ignore what is going around. There are news like when a guy tries to save a girl from eve teasers, the crowd gathers around and see him getting beaten to death and do nothing. In Kolkata a girl is dragged on streets and stripped down by mob, while some onlookers are busy recording the even in their mobile phones. THIS has to be changed, we have to owe the responsibility. Staying silent is also being part of the crime.

I urge to all to change there mindsets. Real men will never tease, hurt or rape a woman. Our ancestors have always taught that real men never raise their hand on a woman. In Mahabharata, the invincible Bheeshma, laid down his life, but did not attack Shikhandi (who was a woman in his last birth). Anyone who did a wrong things to women had been punished severely in all our historical epics. Where is that respect gone now?

Who can dare to tease or hurt a woman, when he has on his mind that every one around him will hit him like anything. There must be Zero Tolerance to any such activity around you. If this happens every Indian woman will have unlimited bodyguards always around her and she will be able to move out without fear. I will once again repeat a famous saying "Only that country is truly free, where a woman can move out alone at night without fear".

She's Dead

She's dead

Sad.. Sad.. very sad,  Mind is numb, unable to think anything.

I am filled with anger and despair. This seems like end of the world. It will be tough to get this out of our minds.

What an irony! In our country we worship women, we have so many female goddess. yet this happened here. We Indians boast all around the world about our rich culture, about how we respect women. We are taught that western culture, western people are bad, our own culture is golden. Today may be I am emotional, but I am unable to find anything good in being Indian. We say we are going to the a world power, but still have problems like these, female child is killed before its born, complete lawlessness. Court cases take years and years for judgement. Jessica Lal was killed in 1999, and judgment came in 2006. Dhananjoy Chatterjee raped and murdered a 14 year old girl in 1990 and he received his punishment in 2004.


"Justice delayed is justice denied". Why is it not understood by the govt and our lawmakers.

For these culprits even capital punishment is not enough, the both hands and legs of the culprits must be chopped off, with "Rapist" marked on their forehead and then they must be left on streets. I would request people not to hurt them, instead feed them and not let them die.

Also all of us must ensure that such a demonic act cannot be repeated ever. We must not bear any such thing going around. We must unite and raise our voice against such mentality around us. This protest must not get cooled down.

May she rest in peace.

New Year Resolutions

Resolution Time. Most of us make new year resolutions some time in life and then by end of the year, do not even remember them. Some try making the resolutions again next year, but again forget by the end of the year.

So, what should be done, Shall we get convinced and not make any resolutions at all, and continue to live our lives as they are?

To be continued...

Chetan Bhagat

An Inspiring video of Mr. Chetan Bhagat's speech on Project Management and Team Building.-

Is India a free country?

65 years ago we got independence from British, and it was declared to the world that we are a free and independent country. We now had right to make our laws, make a constitution and follow it to our own sweet will.

But are we actually free in the true sense of the word? All of us are used to the instructions like do not stay outside for long, do not believe any stranger, keep a watch on your luggage and even children, and especially no women must ever do the unpardonable act of staying outside alone in the night, be it a village without electricity or be it the capital city of the country.

In this Delhi Gang-rape case, the fault(sarcasm) of girl was that she took a wrong bus, where the driver and other men on the bus picked them from a bus-stand only. This of course, is perhaps the cruelest act ever reported. The girl is still not out of Danger and we all are praying to god for her safety and good health.

Many debates are going on for deciding correct punishment for these offenders. I truly believe following should be the correct action.

1. The punishment must be severest of all, Especially for the offenders in Delhi gang rape case I strongly recommend chopping of both hands and legs, castration and "Rapist" marked on the forehead. This should be shown on media repeatedly.

2. The moral science should be more than a subject being taught in 1st and 2nd Standard, (Even Moral Science was discontinued from the syllabus about 10-12 years ago, has been reintroduced 3-4 years back only) it has to be brought up on more elaborate and higher platform, plus, all parents along with the safety instructions also teach their sons to respect women.

What I want to emphasize is that we can call ourselves free only if our women can walk at any time during the day or night without any fear anywhere in whole country. I once again pray to god to save the victim girl and give her a good health.

Yours sincerely

Honour?? Killing

Recently, this very shocking and horrible news came from Kolkata, India. A 29 Years old man has killed his own sister(22 years old) with a sword and then went to Police Station carrying the sword and the head of his sister to surrender himself.

His reason: - His married sister(who was married at the age of 14) having and affair with someone and thus "Dishonoured" his family.

(http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/honour-killing-in-kolkata-brother-beheads-sister/1/236866.html)

Such a case is called an "Honour Killing" by the media.

I want to ask what kind of honour has it brought to the family of this boy, should anyone "honour" such a family. How can killing his young and defenseless sister be hounourable?? In my opinion it is purely cowardice on this man's part. It should be called a "Cowardice Murder".

Not only in the above case there are many more examples in India where people have killed young couples, daughters, wives in the name of "Honour killing". Recently a Senior police officer from Saharanpur, Uttarpradesh supporting this "Honour Killing" advised parents of a 14 year old girl who got abducted to kill themselves or kill the girl, this all in front of media. On one side we look forward to see India as a superpower, and on other side, there is still this forest law applicable in the country.
