Sweet child o' mine!

The long wait for justice came with a shocker of an extension when the CBI closed Arushi's case citing lack of evidence. Then came the tussle between the parents and the country's most upright(anything but this) investigating agency followed by an attack on Rajesh Talwar and the Delhi public's Justice march on 30th Jan.

In all this, my take is that in a country like India, where politicians are busy firefighting for their wrong doings, where the judicial system is always looked up on with suspicion, where upholders of law are flouting it in the open, its victims like Arushi or her parents who will be left in a lurch to fend for themselves. Be it an eyewitness to such crimes or somebody reading an article such as this, will merely clench their fists till the time they say, arre yaar...kii farkh painda hai, India mein yeh sab to chalta hi rahega. But no! This has to stop.

Let there be a beginning to end this habit of "Denying Justice". Whether this is a case of homicide or honour killing, the life of the 14 year old is lost and the authorities should at least bear in mind the importance of life.

I hope and wish that better sense prevail and that the sweet child of the Talwars gets its due.

    There are a billion people in India. More people than needed. So by demand and supply mechanics, the life of a person is not worth much!

    In the whole process, the attorneys must have made some serious money. The CBI definitely lavishly squandered the tax payer's money and the media got to keep the TRP news channels high.

    This is what is going to happen if you or I are unjustly killed!

No Spit Day

By
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...

A visit to India Gate

By
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...

Network(ing) & PR(adia)

By
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...
