Assassination : Glory or Shame

Should we glorify the ones who take the step of killing others because they disagree with their opinion?

For us, such an action means, the individual was coward, as he could not be outspoken about his views and hence, ended up taking the life of the one who had the courage to ask for justice.

Your personal dissatisfaction doesn't mean that someone's life be taken for granted.

Salman Taseer, is one of those individuals who had the courage to speak against a law which he considered unjust. Here, an opinion is meant to be accepted or rejected, not meant to be the reason to kill. His intent to go against was to save a woman (Asia Bibi) from a mistake she committed but not intended to. Was that a wrong thing to take stand for? Was that a question mark on his religious beliefs? Was that a reason... a reason so valuable that his life carried no value.

Some believe that Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri (alleged for assassinating Salman Taseer) did a tremendous job, by raising his weapon on the man who spoke against the blasphemy law - A work of 'Glory'. For some it is the other way round, he is a criminal and hence - A 'Shame', for the country and for all those who supported the noble intent of the late Salman Taseer.

Awake Spot honors and salutes the late Mr. Taseer for his bravery and supports the cause he stood for. There isn't anything wrong in having an opinion and standing by it, what's wrong is to 'SHUT' a person from the right to speak and stand for a cause.

Awake Spot, concludes saying "Nothing can be the reason to discontinue with your belief in standing up for a cause. We believe in it and expect you to believe in in too".

A visit to India Gate

Out of Sight ....but not....Out of Mind...!! Wanted to write a blog only once I saw myself changing....and have I?...Yes,I have changed to some extent and will keep on changing until apocalypse :p :p (it was meant on a lighter note, people...dunno whether the world ends in 2012, and don't even want to specualte) With this post, I want to bring into light the common man's perception about the heritage of India. Let's just focus on 'one of the many' such places - THE INDIA GATE - a landmark that commemorates the live's lost fighting the British Empire , along with the 'Amar Jawan Jyoti' which pays homage to the ones lost in the 1971 Ino-Pak war. However on a recent visit, it appeared that it was more of a 'fun spot' and less of a 'rememberance spot'. The purpose for anyone's visit there, especially the residents of Delhi, is to eat (throw here and there) , play in the pond (having bath in the water and how can we forget ...throw...

No Spit Day

The most observable day to day activity of the residents of our land is ' Spitting ' . Just make an effort to see people around you......from the one walking in front of you to the one sitting in car with family or the one sitting beside you...............there comes a moment when they turn their head and leave the proof of their action along with the unpleasant sound of ' Aaaaaathoooo '. The common habit of chewing pan, tobacco or just spitting for fun / pleasure/ sore throat ( god knows what reason is it ) makes people spit not only on roads, but also on public property (visit any monument to witness the remnants of this act ) , and sometimes they don't even mind spitting on people ( applicable to the ones travelling by bus, car etc., who see nowhere and directly put their head out of the window..... and....spit...yes.....along with the unpleasant sound of 'Aaaaaaathooooo' ) . The roads/ lifts/ staircases ( common places where we find the area of spit high...

Network(ing) & PR(adia)

This might be a stale topic to write on considering the life expectancy of a scam in India depends solely on Indian news channels blasting our TV screens for that day/evening. Nevertheless I had to pen my views... The tapes show/expose the thirst for power and information in this rat-eat-man-race (rats' appetite has burgeoned over the years) with ulterior motives. We all knew politics as a dirty game played by saathvi aur paanchvi kaksha pheil goondas or even worse angutha chaaps . But even the fairly educated ones who we thought can be entrusted with the job of development want the kursi to simply satisfy their ego or personal ambitions. One-upmanship or at least attempting to show one’s superiority by its lobbying for a post in the Union cabinet shows these MPs will go to any extent to become a power centre (we know that they are masters rigging polls anyways). Ministries & portfolios were being selected just like ticking an option from a multiple choice question wi...
