My cynical views on the recent episodes of Fasting and Arresting of Anna Hazare! http://ngkjrs69.sulekha.com/blog/post/2011/08/am-i-right-or-wrong.htm

FAST - not good for us! some views of mine shared on the recent happenings

It happens only in India! The definition of murder is lost from the recent judgment on the Maria-Jerome-Grover case. Let us accept that the murder was done on a rush of blood, fit of rage etc., I am surprised that if Grover was killed because Jerome saw him in half-naked status, what was his girl friend doing? If they were not involved why should he kill? They killed and later chopped the body into pieces. Was it not a cold-blooded murder? But the judge differed stating this is nothing but culpable homicide not leading to murder. Shocking! In a rush of blood, he killed but later realized. Then in all fairness, both should have got themselves surrendered in a police station. Instead, they decided to chop the body into 300 odd pieces, with all ease, packed the parts into a bag and tried to dump and fire it on a secluded area! Yet, the judge states that this a destruction of evidence? Perplexing! Maria had already spent 3 years in jail and hence will be free from today and walk back home....

Saffron, White and Green If what Ramdev Baba did was not right, then what Government did last night was a blunder! One would agree that the political aspirations of Baba made him to take a leaf out of the book of Anna Hazare as to pressurize the Government. Was it wrong? In a democratic state, every one of us has a right to aspire to be the leader. What if Ramdev Baba wants to become one? After all, his demands are in the interest of common public. Most of his demands are cinematic but sensational and in India sensationalism sells. If Ramdev Baba has to take a plunge in politics, he has to face tough competition with bigger goons. I am pleased that unlike many other political parties who perpetually divided the citizens on the lines of region, language, caste and religion, he is not raking such issues to float a political party. He is using those demands that strikes chord with every middle class family of India. This is the clan (middle class families) that shies away from elections,...

Petrol price hike - what can we do? Petrol price is hiked, once again. To be precise, it is the 9th time in one year’s time. People will make hue and cry and the media will be busy with this issue for two days. Later, all of us will forget this and we will not change the way we do as of now. Everyone agrees that already the rates are subsidized and the hike is inevitable. However, when petrol prices in a few countries where they do not have processing facilities (they import directly) are lesser than ours, I don’t understand the logic of pricing in our country. This raises certain questions in my mind. • Let them hike the price whenever the crude oil price is increased in global market but are they reducing the prices when they get reduced? • Who negotiates the price on behalf of the companies? How good the negotiations are? Can they bring in a transparency in this? • Is there any kick back in the deal? • For every Rupee a common citizen pays for the petrol, 49% of it only goes to the ...

Get an Idea Sirji If you are getting into a lift and then worried about the tower-range, then you better get idea goes an advertisement. Perhaps, the owners of this Service Provider do not know that as soon as you enter the Mumbai International Airport, the consumers of this Service Provider don’t get an idea why can’t they talk to their near and dear or their clients. Not only that and the clients are deprived of using the free internet service for which the password is sent through SMS. When you don’t get the range how can you get the password? Mumbai International Airport – the security here poses a lot of questions. Generally, as soon as one enters the airport, the entire baggages are screened and then only one can proceed get the boarding pass. However, in Mumbai international airport, you can get your boarding pass without going through the screening. Till the time you cross the Immigration, your bags are not screened.
