SHOCKED BY THE SHOCK TV??

"You may be sure when a man begins to call himself a REALIST, he is preparing to do something he is secretly ashamed of doing."-SYDNEY .H .ARRIS

So that is what they are...realists. Facing the worst truths of their lives with a lie detector thrusted on to their beings...isn’t it just sending thrills down your spine??But the parliament isn’t exactly as thrilled about it as you and me."THEY FEEL THAT A PERSON REVEALING GRIMMY SECRETS OF HIS OR HER PRIVATE LIFE TO WIN BIG MONEY ON REALITY T.V IS AGAINST INDIAN VALUES AND MORALITY".-mail today,Saturday,July 25,2009.

Apt??Or unacceptable? Does, not revealing secrets form a part of Indian values and morality finds it really awkward. How can we keep on relating issues and happenings which are either new to us or away from the league or which creates ripples on the surface of society...to our Indian values? If we really want something to be stopped or if we desperately need to keep something away from the society, can’t we think of better excuses? If women work or become more independent...it goes against our morality and values. If an amendment is passed over an article of our constitution which has been long untouched...it goes against our morality and values, if we think of educating youth and implementing them with the knowledge of tools to prevent AIDS and STDs and other such similar problems..It goes against our Indian values and morality. Can’t we people and specially our leaders advocate on something more relevant and worth discussing? Like fake encounters and disrespect of women in public and gunda raj of state governments? Why on earth do we people need to waste our valuable time on mere entertainment TV programmes where people are not dragged to the show by their collars but they actually ASSENT to such adventures??THINK AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELVES.

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...

Union Budget India 2026-2027: 12 shocking truths that affect your wallet and future

The Union Budget India 2026-2027 is more than numbers on paper. It’s a mirror of promises, propaganda, and practical policies. This article breaks down what’s truly useful for you—jobs, taxes, inflation, and infrastructure—while cutting through the noise. Think of it as a friendly guide that explains the budget like a story, not a spreadsheet. Why does the Union Budget India 2026-2027 matter to you? India’s fiscal deficit for 2026–27 is pegged at nearly ₹17 lakh crore, while interest payments alone consume over ₹14 lakh crore. This means most of what the government borrows is not funding new projects but servicing old debt—a cycle that resembles “evergreening” of loans. Despite record tax collections, a large share is swallowed by debt servicing rather than fresh development. Breaking Down the Numbers Fiscal Deficit (FY27) : ₹16.95 lakh crore, or 4.3% of GDP . Interest Payments : Over ₹14 lakh crore, making it the single largest expenditure item. Total Expenditure : Around ₹53....

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...
