Voyaging through the blogosphere-5

The compulsive confessor
is the title of the blog we gonna explore today.This blog though personal in nature reflects the moods and times of urban upper-middle class youth.[I dunno how i concluded to tht].Before i praise and depraise this blog lets chek out the stats we have:
Blog title - The compulsive confessor
Blog url - http://thecompulsiveconfessor.blogspot.com
Author - Em
Created - june 2004
Genre - Personal
Roughly 4 years she has been blogging,am too junior to write about her blogs
but then after going through those blogs i feel that these series of voyaging would be imcomplete if i dont mention this blog.Another fantastic autobiographical blog this one has distinct style which i feel as i mentioned before the urban upper middle class youth will be able to relate with.If your a kiddo dont bother going in there,u may enjoy but wont understand.But if u have passed tht age do go thru not only u understand also u will enjoy.i say this because sometimes something weird,something different also brings a smile to our face.So even if u dont exactly find a joke book to laugh out,u will see a life and what a life.As i always say gaining knowledge is wat i preach,wat i do and wat i advice.This life teaches u loads of lessons which u wont be able to kno urself.As for the negatives well as a person junior to the author i wont really pin point anyhting wrong,also i dont have much to speak about the negative points the blogs re great the layout is fabalous.
There are loads of posts here for the readers to read, my pick of 3 best ones is:
1.We Are All Debate Club Mood-y (skip, if you prefer the party posts)
2.Shine On, You Crazy Diamond
3.Before I get way old and forget this stuff
and there are many more,a blog one cant miss reading,funny to say hbut i have to mention this tht while reading her blogs i missed jagjit singh singing on my media player and tht was until now impossible task to do this blog was so engrossing.God bless the writer
Next on our agenda is ApNi ApNi SoCh!...dekhte hain wat she thinks!!!
Till then
Happy blogging.

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Is this the India You Recognise? A Review of The Discovery of New India (Conditions Apply) by Aakar Patel

You pick up The Discovery of New India (*Conditions Apply) expecting a graphic novel. What you get instead is a sharp political conversation about modern India. Through Adi and Seema, and a quietly probing narrative voice, the book examines laws, rights, and lived realities, asking whether the idea of “New India” matches the experience of its people. Discovery of New India book review: Why does the idea of ‘New India’ feel both exciting and uncomfortable at the same time? Do you ever feel like you are constantly being told that India is changing, improving, rising, but no one quite explains what that change looks like when it reaches ordinary lives? You hear the phrase everywhere. New India. It sounds confident. It sounds inevitable. It sounds like progress. But when you pause and ask what exactly has changed, and for whom, the answers begin to feel less certain. That quiet discomfort is exactly where Aakar Patel places you in The Discovery of New India ( Conditions Apply) . Not throug...
