It is an old one now. Several years ago, a girl is molested ( like that happens almost every hour of the day even today) then she commits suicide and you people now must be knowing all the details. What makes this case interesting is that even as we all display shock that a powerful man got away with it, we have not gasped in disbelief. Cummon, we all know that powerful men like Rathore can get away with crimes such as these. It is no big deal that politicians of the day supported him, the school, a premier educational institution of its time, run by God fearing, missionaries and nuns lends it support to the culprit and are we shocked? Really? The answer is no. We all know this happens. On this very blog I had written abou t a case in another convent school in another part of the region. Holding marches and lighting candles shall serve not much purpose as we are still not looking inwards but outwards. Spitting anger on one man shall not erase the fact that we Indians have become used...

It's been a year now, well almost a year few days are left ( I don;t really remember the date) since they both got together and I was given a real time shock. A lot changes in 12 months. Seasons come and go. Plants bloom and they die. It has been a tough time to conceal a level of emotions erupting within and cracking problems of everyday routine mundane life on the outside with vigor and zeal. To celebrate on the outside when your heart is crying on the inside. Being a strong advocate of positive thinking, I have a huge poster on failure on one of my room's walls. It decodes the meaning of failure in a positive sense. I read it again yesterday for the nth time and I think, my friendship with her was a failure, a failure on my part as much as on her part. A disastrous failure I guess. Perhaps it is not her but my failure tht bothers me a lot. But It does. Even today morning I waked up with nightmares of what happened twelve months ago. So even as try to solve the puzzle of my e...

TWILIGHT SERIES! DOES IT PRICK SOMEWHERE? Many kids of my age have started reading and now re-reading this series of books written by “Stephanie Meyer” namely Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn which have touched the platform of “National bestsellers” and have been pretty hyped as the heirs to Anne Rice and Harry Potter. Ok! First things first! I was too one of ‘these admirers’ of the “Twilight series”. But it’s now that I realize that it was really not worth it. Alright, alright before people just accuse me of being a bit jealous or whatever, I might just as well scuttle through some fine things about these books. They are rich in details of the emotions of each and every character. They are pretty well-written with some creative yet unique aspects and characteristics of the supernatural elements. Also, the back-stories of various characters are quite fascinating. There are spot-on allusions to other works as well. It is romantic indeed. One automatically feels a ...

I was going through my favorite book of quotations. And I happened to go through a quotation on love which seemed quite interesting to me. It goes like this- "To love someone is to isolate him from the world, wipe out every trace of him, dispossess him of his shadow, and drag him into a murderous future. It is to circle round the other like a dead star and absorb him into a black light." -Jean Baudrillard (1929-fatal strategies) Ahaaa!!!...you are right. It does seem to be real tragic or sorts of negative definition of love.i agree! You tend to limit yourself to your lover. Limit all your dreams and desires and ambitions. Your world starts revolving around just one person...his likes dislikes and accordingly, the adjustments you need to make in a relationship.suprisingly you even plan every second of yours according to his need...i.e.-when you both can talk, meet etc.i am talking abou...

Hi All, I had watched the movie 'The Kingdom' on TV a couple of weeks back and since then I have been itching to write a review/post about it. The movie started close to midnight and went on well past 1 am. The fact that I was glued to the idiot box all that time and didn’t even dare to switch channels, lest I miss a few seconds of the film, should be sufficient to convey the intensity of the movie. 'The Kingdom' is based on a semi fictional plot on the bombings of the residential quarters of foreign workers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The blast leaves the many dead and several more injured. The America Diaspora is devastated and furious. It doesn’t help that the atrocity was carried out by men masquerading as Saudi policemen. The monarchy, understanding the gravity of the situation, promises action but at the same time utilizes ambiguous laws to prevent American sleuths from investigating this carnage. But remember this is an American movie and the Americans...

SO you ppl thought, that shit has no value on the planet, except perhaps to make bio gas? Well, Haaathi Chaap is an initiative by Mahima (as appears from the website) wherein, an elephant's poo is used to make paper and paper products. I strongly favor the need for such innovative ideas to make nature friendly products. Also, I have a strong belief in the dictum that nothing should be termed waste, ever. elephantpoopaper.com is the URL of the website. You must visit it 1) for knowing more about this fascinating process of converting dung into paper. 2) A lot of interesting trivia on elephant dung paper. These people claim that elephant dung can make great raw material for paper making. 3) The range of products looks quite interesting, but am not sure of their worth viz a viz the price. All in all a good site to visit and if you can lay your hands upon any of their products, please go ahead and support a good cause.
