An 87 years old accused facing the charges of rape was granted bail by the Court as the media coverage speaks out. No wonder as granting bail to any accused on any count howsoever serious be the charges against him/ her is what happens very often in our country. The other side of this news that a man in his later eightees found himself lusty enough to go for a rape. Rape is supposed to be more aggressive an act of sexual involvement compared to normal sex as it is without any compromise where the man concerned is required to be not only more aggressive but more energetic too and application of the both by a man at 87 is some thing difficult to comprehensively analyze. Energy and stamina apart, the story in any case speaks volumes on amount of the lust the accused might have had.

No profile is big or small
After the new government in India took over the charge of governance there has been a tough fighting on portfolios with every one trying hard get an important most ministerial assignment. Farooq Abdullah, ex Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir and a heavy weight in politics, was quite positive when he said while reacting to allocation of energy ministry to him that it is not the profile that is big or small but it is the performance that counts. Where ever one is he is to perform well and if he can't do it better it is always better for him to quit. Either work well or quit and there should be nothing else in between. Well said. Actually those who are to judge such performance also should not suffer from any prejudices and work alone has to be the basis for them to adjudge the merit of the performers.

Calls from the dark
Known as the boon of the modern era mobile phones are recognized as a tool for multifarious activities and utilities. No good is there without some element of bad in it in the background and so are mobile phones. Contacting, talking, chatting, setting alarms and enjoying music all is there in the tiny tool but occasions are not rare when it is annoying and irritating. You are on an important business schedule, as a gentle man you prefer not to switch off the instrument from the point of view that no important communication should remain unattended and then there is a ring from some where, the callers being mostly the girls, giving you the whisper of '..dear darling, how sweet you are..' and by the time you normalize yourself to mentally fit into such an unexpected message the call is cut. You take a sigh of relief. This relief is short lived as after a few seconds the call is there again with some more romantically silky words. You have no go but to switch off your mobile. Such a trespassing is a routine for many and I wonder how difficult it is to identify such callers from the dark.

Hoarding money
In olden days money was more hoarded than spent and the system used for the purpose was to dig a large hole somewhere in the house, keep the bag of money (those days only coins and no question of currency notes) inside and close it with a mud flooring. Money was considered safe there although there were many who used the spot as their bed with a mat stretched on the site. They used to sleep there themselves as a measure of additional security. Now there are banks in plenty every where to take care of peoples money offering some interest too which was out of question in the case of hoarded coins. No such hoarding now but tendency on that count is still reflected in banks applying delaying tactics in making payments to the customers for the reason that more the delay more the benefit to them in the form of money being used for lending on a high rate of interest averaging delays in transit durations. In modern language it is a strategic mode of operating money but the very origin of this tendency lies in what was called hoarding in old days.

The kinds of opinions
What are the kinds of opinions was the question asked to some body who replied telling that there are two kinds of opinions -my opinion and the wrong opinion. Normally in routine behavior the very attitude of the people is as if whatever they say or do is right and what others do in the same context of work is wrong. Actually this is the type of approach that results into problems as conflict on opinion is the major causes of clashes in any thought process. Reconciliation on opinion clash could be the approach to resolve the relative behavior for which sides concerned are required to get rid of their prejudices in a logical order which act is capable of eliciting necessary harmony in mutual relationship.

From human to human
Life differs from human to human and so does their style of living. Persons placed in comfortable positions hardly bother about the problems others might be facing. A friend of mine who was posted on an election duty last month is not tired of narrating her experience during her stay at a village polling booth. There were no basic amenities available there, no toilet, no eatables, even no water to drink. She was cursing the administration who posted her there claiming that she being a lady should have been spared from the task. Why sparing ladies when there is so much of a cry on their seeking right of equality with men was my question to her. I asked her as to why she is forgetting that the place which she was talking about was not the one without men, women, children living there for ages undergoing all sorts of hardships in the absence of basic amenities. How come, I asked her, that they are the people living there with their families with such a difficult mode of life for generations and you look to be the one who found spending even a few hours so tortuous. If those leading a comfortable life style start thinking even a bit about those who are living in difficult situations they may have no reasons to grumble for themselves.

Why special train for Railway Minister ?
I am not aware of as to what is the practice on this count elsewhere in the world but as it is seen in India there is always a special train for Railway Minister to take him to his home town or wherever else he opts to go. Now that Mamta Banerjee, the fire brand leader of Trinmul Congress in Kolkata, is taking over charge as a Minister Incharge of the railways in India and if she too follows the pattern that obtained in her predecessor Lallu Yadava's time and even before that, she too may require not simply a berth or a coupe but a full train consisting of several bogies transporting bogey of her supporters alongwith her family members from one place to the other. Why such a wastage? Mamta Banerjee has otherwise an image of a down to earth person leading a moderately simple life style but there is no instance till now when any Rail Minister might have refused to enjoy such a wasteful arrangement. If Mamta Banerjee can afford to be an exception, this may set an ideal for many.

Bikes at cheaper rates
After Tata launched Nano which was a revolution in moderately rated four wheelers and it accelerated the competition element amongst auto dealers who started preparing themselves to bring out still much cheaper a vehicle. There is however nothing new in the market till now except ofcourse Nano which has yet to see the roads. New focus is generated on low cost two wheelers with Bajaj Auto coming out with a motorbike in the range of Rs. 20000/ to 24000/. This is a 125cc bike with its production starting in China whereafter it will start in India. The plan of Bajaj Auto is to come out with yet another version of the vehicle priced in the range of 17000/ to 20000/ making it possible for the people in lower income range to go for a two wheeler which presently they are not able to afford cost wise.

Hoax of an announcement
News counts as it is supposed to carry with it some thing in substance and it takes no time for the news to turn into a hoax when nothing material comes out of it. A welcome announcement was made by the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati that there has to be ![Mayawati[1]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8JXH7RZN8mndKkdVGIoQkTGmDyXSH8tFVGOZjhDoGnAwQas_mAaMJH8KVliosZqaykKdqnOg6M9mqIYNv_v1LLLXVR593tDF0a1mK7zvMBSt_o73FXnVmzgVMn_4_qHU8MjsGnjTFBi_j/)

On cool drinks
Difficult to refrain from some kind of a cool drink or the other, more so in hot summer but one has to keep in mind that all such drinks may not be health friendly. Sharbat with lemon is fine but the general choice particularly that of children does not end there as they always have a temptation for brands like Coca Cola, Pepsi and several others like that. Coca Cola, as the medical opinion goes, not only weakens the muscles but may even paralyze them at a stage. May be there is no problem for the moderates who consume this liquor in a limited quantity but those who get addicted to a heavy dosage of it for a longer time are likely to incur problems including a disorder to kidney and heart. Parents have to see to it that their children don't consume much of any cold drink that may cause them lot many problems. Small quantity is alright but heavy intake as a continuous feature has to be avoided for health sake.

This too could be a bias only
The new government in India is in the offing with the new Prime Minister and his ministers to be sworn in within a day or so. Lobbying at a large scale is already going on and the candidates aspiring to get some berth as a minister or so are leaving no stone unturned to see that they are in. There is a cry that youths are to be given a top priority in joining the cabinet. Why youths? Those who join the government are supposed to be competent, honest and above board in all respects, they are young or old is not that material. Infact this stunt is again with the hidden agenda that a person or a group of persons be accommodated on this pretext. This looks like some one pleading his/ her case on the basis of some caste or some creed. The functionaries must be physical fit to discharge their responsibilities and this is not correct to conclude that only youths can be efficient. Suppose there is a mafia interested in a ministerial berth and he is quite young, is it prudent to take him in simply because he is a youth. Capability, competence and efficiency are not exclusively related to young ones only, they are very much there in the case of others too.

Share market emerging in a stabilized mode
Not an expert nor am I so very conversant with the market conditions but feel like having my own observations even as a lay man on the subject. Market looks stabilized in the sense that it is now not found behaving erratic. Usual features which are quite natural for any market are there, and they have to be there, but they look set in a methodical order. Volatility, over buying, over selling, profit booking are all the essential ingredients of a share market and it just can't work without them but the system getting badly stagnated to them for considerably a long time is too cumbersome an experience for the traders but this stage comes only when the market lacks stability. May be, and so let us wish, the market is to work well with the new government in the country.

Unprecedented but not a hey day
A sky jump as it has happened in the Indian Share Market is by all means most unprecedented in its history but it is refusing to prove a hey day for the traders in the absence of any activity on account of circuits. Need of circuit(s) can not be ruled out as the share market is most likely to go haywire in the absence of it causing a large scale disorder in the total market scenario in turn disrupting the over all economy factor

The first day after election results are declared
The results of elections in India out now this one is the first day and it begins with delusions in the sense that it is late in the after noon with terribly hot a weather and there is no light. Light was not that much of a problem during election days as people in governance and contestant public representatives all were afraid of the electorate. Now that fear has outlived its life and there is none to bother about their hardships. Why should they bother as the public wrath on any count of basic utilities has now no more to do any thing after voting is over. The voters that way are now supposed to wait for another day for them when elections fall due after five years from now. No light means no water, no water means no normal activities from house hold to markets and the offices affecting all walks of life in totality. This could be an instance and there is every likelihood that these dimensions may aggravate to a bigger height in days to come.

Free styled democracy
Democracy as we read and studied is by the people, of the people and for the people. Sounds nice but when it comes to an implementational level things are just different. A political party, if I name it it was Bahujan Samaj Party, and its followers gave a slogan 'Jo zamin sarkari hai, woh sampatti hamari hai' (any land or property belonging to the government is mine). Can it honestly be termed as a democratic approach on the face of the fact that it amounts to just as a barbaric approach forcibly grabbing whatever they can lay their hands upon. You go to a local market with a small halt to buy something on the road side stopping your vehicle just for a while. Immediately a toughy appears and asks you for parking fee. On enquiry it is revealed that there is nothing like any licensed place duly authorised for the purpose but the man asking for the fee continues insisting upon his demand to the point of man handling. What an awkward situation. The vehicle owner succumbs to pressure and pays. This is how democracy is interpreted in most of the cases in our country.

Cycle of soaring prices affects employees more
There is some point some where for prices to rise and then the cycle goes on to cover many an areas reaching a stage where all are affected. Dealer in food stuff for cattle raises its cost and the milk man inflates his rate for milk with immediate effect. Milk man's raising the price makes the dealers in sweets raise their rates in a big measure as market has the culture of increasing costs not on a point to point basis, they add their own extras. These examples apart, the situation applies to all markets as a whole. The one category that feels handicapped in getting compensated cost wise is that of the employees both in public sector and private sector. There the culture of giving them necessary relief, that too only in a frugal measure, is after several months and they can't raise their emoluments just like a milk man does or the shop keepers do. They are a lot who suffer most when cycle of price rise starts to continue for no definite a period.

Qualifications of a priest
Priests are worshippers according to their faith and creed and normally the custom grows to the level of a sect pursued from generation to generation. Like it was in Nepal with South Indian Brahmins worshipping in Pashupatinath temple for the last several centuries, the particular sect was doing the job there till such time the Maoist Prime Minister Prachanda made it free for any one to become a priest or Chief Priest some time back which decision was ofcourse reversed on account of a vehement protest offered against it. The question arises if worshipping is an area to be socialized extending eligibility for the purpose to all and sundry or it has to be based on criterion of worshipping by faith and conviction. Faith in religion with conviction and commitment are the basic requisites for a priest and this is highly unfair to make it a saleable commodity which any tom, dick or hary can buy.
Why so much of fuss mongering in share market
Elections in India are over and final results are to come out on the 16th of this month by which time whatever are the speculations now shall take a tangible shape. Natural it is for all walks of life from markets to household to feel concerned as to what happens after the new government takes over but share market is the one that feels a lot of panic on this count and they are going highly panicky as if a doom is to occur. Let it be any government, economy and developmental activities are but to remain their concern and that being the basic factor for any country they just can't afford to switch over to any altogether new modes of change. The usual factors like market scenario in America, U.K. and Asia which dominate the major plus and minus levels all over the world, they will continue doing as such even in days to come coupled with what happens in India even after change of guards, situation in share market is not supposed to undergo any unusual upheaval and the amount of suspense, anxiety and fluctuations are in every likelihood is to remain as it obtains now.

A date for public mandate in India
The turn of the electorate in India comes once in five years and it is entirely their day to act as masters for the destiny of the country, it is they who determine as to who could be their leader(s) to form the government and be the ruler. Compared to the past this time there is much awareness seen in the public and the chances are that they might have voted or may vote now (today being the last day for the purpose) quite wisely and in more dispassionate a manner without getting swayed by the tantrums and the dramatizing tactics applied on them by the contestants. They look wise enough to dexterously select their candidates to finally elect them as their leaders. Their verdict is to assume a tangible shape on 16th of this month when what is in the offing currently is to be visible in physical terms. One can only hope for the better.

Adopted sons/ daughters
High Court of judicature at Allahabad recently gave a ruling that an adopted son is as eligible for compassionate appointment as a real son. Several undertakings both in public and private have been denying such appointments on the ground that it is applicable only in the case of real son/ daughter and those who have been granting appointments to the deceased's dependants have been doing so as a matter of their discretion. The ruling undoubtedly gives relief to many who otherwise could have been rendered ineligible. Compassionate appointments are an area which concern the family most after their bread earners die or are severely incapacitated. An issue by legal adoption is supposed to be the legal heir of the deceased otherwise too and by confirming such a position by way of a ruling in the matter the Court has done justice to a large number of people who were in the lurch in the absence of some employment.

Morning walk
Health experts and also the doctors prescribe morning walk with emphasis to keep it brisk and regular. Many a patients take it as an essentially prescribed routine from their ailment point of view and there are many who go for it to keep themselves physically fit and there are yet the people who find a better scope for gossips while walking along with other fellows. In any case walking is most convenient a mode of exercise which requires no expertise except just some will to go for it. When there is a talk on walking it is normally taken as morning walk which is considered much better compared to walking in evening as the oxygen intake is quite better qualitatively in the early hours in the morning but whatever be the shape and timing for the purpose, walking in all cases enables a person to keep fit acquiring necessary amount of resistance against minor sorts of ailments.

Numerous first ladies
South Africa's fourth President Jacob Zuma was accompanied by his three wives at his investiture ceremony in Pretoria. Being wives of the President all the three were the first lady(ies) in the country and all of them obviously had to be received as such in the function. The great epic Mahabharat talks of the great kings who had large number of wives, in some cases in hundreds, irrespective of the factual situation whether they could physically afford to sexually satisfy all of them and this is one culture that has undergone no change even in modern era where cultural aspect of the civilization is supposed to be at its peak. Be it a top celebrity or a commoner, man's propensity on sex is the same as it was thousands of years back. Wajid Ali Shah, the Nawab of Awadh at Lucknow had a full group of 100 wives besides a large number of concubines and that way it is not that much out of proportion if the President of Africa has only three as his wives and the first ladies of the country.

Designs exposed
Now that the Court has come out with their judgement that there is no case for the Government of Uttar Pradesh to slap NSA against Varun Gandhi, those who designed such an act are utterly exposed in the eyes of public. The Uttar Pradesh Government, as is the news, are contemplating to go to the higher court with an appeal against it and what the appellate court decides is upto them as per their jurisdiction in the matter but the legal position as it stands on date with the current decision is enough to let the people in general know that the politicians can misuse their prerogative to any extent when it comes to their own vested interests, be it for mobilising the electorate or for any other motive.

Why law is allowed to be blind ?
We are told that the Law is blind possibly for the reason that judgement givers are not supposed to deliver their verdicts based on sentiments but in strict adherence to the very frame of rules. Does it mean that the justice perceived at social level has no room to get accommodated? A recent case is that of a woman, Narayani by name, who unfortunately became a widow within three months of her marriage was dragged out of home and abandoned by her inlaws immediately after death of her husband after which she had no option but to take shelter with her parents. Her parents took care of her, saw to it that she was given proper education and that they also managed her employment on a good salary. After serving her employment for quite some time she died leaving considerable amount of her savings besides provident fund. The Hon'ble court delivered their judgement in favour of the inlaws of the woman placing both the savings and the provident fund at their disposal depriving the parents of the same. What a law? The family that took care of the woman spending lot of amount on her and her education was no consideration for the Court, they rather found it more legal to extend the advantage of her savings and superannuation benefits to her inlaws who callously threw her out of the house. Looks like they are rewarded by the Law for their misdeed.

Book(s) on a click
Searching and getting a book of choice on book stalls is not always an easy task. One may have to loiter from pillar to post or visit one library after the other to trace a particular reference. Now there is a welcome news indicating that the job has since been made easy by using a machine known as EBM which has capability of printing the very book of your choice just on a click within seconds. The capacity of the machine is to print 105 pages per minute. The machine is a great help even to the writers who have to rub their nose from one point to another to get their manuscript printed which they can get done now at ease by submitting the relative CD to the machine operator who in turn does the job within no time. The whole process is user friendly and the chances are that both the readers and the writers will find a big tool of help in the shape of this machine without running here and there and without involving themselves in the cumbersome process of searching and tracing a book even online.
Yet another cheaper solution on housing by Tatas
Tatas gave 'Nano' to the people who needed a cheaper mode of transport as against costly four wheelers. What was once considered unbelievable was tangibly there in shape and reality when 'Nano' became visible with a glitter to the customers in show rooms. It is Tatas again who are launching a housing project to suit the pocket of economically not so sound persons. The scheme named as Shubh Grah to provide houses cost wise ranging from 3.9 lakh to 6.7 lakh is having its first take off at Bhoisar, a suburb of Mumbai, with a plan to expand the project to different other cities in the country in time to follow. The plan provides three categories of houses size wise stipulated as 283, 360, 465 sq.ft. This is supposed to be a great revolution in housing as the houses/ flats currently available in this size are much costlier which general public, particularly economically weaker sections, just can't afford and for them the low cost housing accommodation so being provided is surely a boon. Business apart, the entire scheme appears to be benevolently worked out to suit a common man and that manifests the quality of Ratan Tata.

Fitness for exercise and yoga
Physical exercise and Yoga both are resorted to for better health and physical fitness. This fitness is a relative term in the sense that one has to be elementarily fit to go for an exercise on fitness. Too weak a person can't afford necessary physical manoeuvrings for the purpose of exercise nor can he/ she do a pranayaam or kapalbhati in Yoga in the absence of necessary strength for the purpose. What one can ofcourse do as a matter of compromise is to take the intensity mode of such practices at a lowest possible level to start with and switch over to an advanced level of postures after preliminaries result into some energy and vigor. Exercise and Yoga both are advised by doctors to pregnant ladies based on the concept that it helps the child to grow in a healthy way, some even say that it helps in increasing the IQ of the child when it starts growing. Here again what is more important is that exercise in the case of pregnant women has to be in a moderate order without making it rigorous failing which there are complications including miscarriage bound to occur.
An overbrimming patience
Waiting for a mail you have been expecting for several days but not getting it, working too hard for a result but nothing tangible happening, expecting an opportunity if you happen to be a blogger but days and even weeks pass and nothing transpires, all this taken together forms a tortuous anxiety telling upon your health profile. If the list of such instances grows further to exhaust your patience that is already overbrimming, you feel like calling it a day for all the waits. There again your anxiety element doubles as what you decide is an offshoot of your emotions with which your mind does not cooperate with the result that your patience continues to be under pressure. No go, this is after all a perennial cycle that goes on and on.

Once a mission, later nothing of that sort
It was a news when Kalyan Singh, ex Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, denied his involvement in any manner in demolition of Babri Masjid at Ayodhya claiming instead that he was all along for the minority community of muslims and that he can't think of doing any thing that hurts their feelings. Factually how deeply he was involved in demolition is no secret to any one. It is a different matter that he can come out with any amount of statements contradicting the same for political reasons and vested interest. He is not alone of the type as he is now joined by another political stalwart Uma Bharti, ex Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, who claims a total ignorance of any demolition plan to her knowledge. She was the one who travelled all the way from Chitrakoot to Ayodhya disguising herself as an ordinary visitor for which purpose she even got her head shaven for the fear of getting recognized by the people who otherwise knew her so well. That time it was a holy mission for her to see Ram Mandir where the Babri Masjid was and the instant turn taken by her only shows that the politicians hardly have any rules or ethics to follow on a permanent footing. They are a community going only by their political convenience varying from time to time.
Sabotaging a confidence
A poor woman struggling to save her cancer patient husband in a hospital locally at Kanpur (U.P.) sold out all that she had including her mangalsutra , a precious most thing for ladies in India, but no treatment worked. She lost her husband. Wailing and crying desperately she was not a normal self to herself convey the sad message to other relations of hers and hankered for some one to help her. A man posing as a volunteer turned up and reposing confidence in him the woman gave him her mobile phone to convey the message on a given number. Within seconds the man disappeared from the scene stealthily taking advantage of her pitiable condition. She lost her husband herself left alone to support her four children, lost every thing she had and then lost the very small tool of communication the mobile phone. The world is like this only where exploiting faith and confidence is a business for many who pretend to be helpers but in real terms they are callous saboteurs hurling inflicts to helpless innocent persons. For them it is just a business.
Rain shower, the breeze and a dust free clean atmosphere
It has been too hot in North India crossing the temperature of 44 but a big respite was there when some rains occurred yesterday bringing down the temperature to a comfortable level. Although the rains were not as such but in the form of drizzles only, continue as they did for quite some time, they proved capable of generating a cool atmosphere all around. The weather experts say that such untimely rains, small or otherwise, are not good for the crop and are likely to prove detrimental to the interest of farmers. Notwithstanding this, the small drizzles have certainly given quite a relief to the people who have been suffering so much on account of scorching sun and sweltering heat for the last several days. Now that it is all over, no body knows the mood of the weather in days to come, it may remain moderate or a high degree of temperature may strike again.

Any thing under the Sun
The profile of a blogger friend of mine says that she writes on any thing under the Sun. As the initial impression at the outset I thought she must be a genius otherwise how could it be possible for some one to write on any thing under the Sun -from an insect to giant creatures, from a rivulet to big ocean, from hillocks to mountains and from all types of creepers to monsters. The other thought that occurred to my mind was that it could simply be a free styled expression on picking up the topics of writing but in that case too it is not a small task as after all some thing that is once selected as a subject for a write up is finally to be given a tangibly legible shape. I got somewhat confused but the impression I had drawn at the very first sight of her profile looks like it got embedded into my mind where it is still hovering refusing to go out whispering into my ears that a person capable of writing on any thing under the Sun must be certainly the one blessed with a strong caliber which I, as a co writer, have but to envy.
Knowledge shared enriches it further
You know some thing and impart it by sharing the same with others, your knowledge multiplies. Blogging is most important an area for the purpose. You write some thing, it is read by others and there are readers who give their reactions by way of their comments on your post. As it occurs many a times, these comments contain more of information than even what your post gives. Comments so given elicit further reactions from other readers who again give lot of information on the topic of your post and this way the cycle goes on with the result that you yourself get so enriched on the very subject of yours chosen by you as a topic for a writeup. My topics include medical areas covering ailments like diabetes besides fitness and general health. What I have found as a nice experience for myself is that my commentators very often supplement and even supplant my own information on the subject in much richer a way which resultantly forms a sound knowledge base for me. I certainly owe my sincere thanks to my commentators including my critics.

Why they can't behave themselves ?
A candidate contesting the election of Member of Parliament from BSP (Bahujan Samaj Party) Akhilesh Das from Lucknow passed derogatory remarks against another candidate Nafisa Ali accusing her of a bad character. As a celebrated film star of yester years, Nafisa Ali is a reputed figure and there can be no valid a reason to accuse her like this to instigate the electorate. Although the Election Commission took a serious notice of it censoring Akhilesh Das, this by itself is not enough and more drastic an action in the matter is warranted to secure necessary justice reprimanding the concerned man with an effective measure of punishment.
Diabetic retinopathy
Known for its slow but deadly impacts, diabetes targets the delicate parts of the body first like eyes where deterioration or loss of vision doesn't occur in a day and the victim takes notice of it when it becomes too late when doctors are hardly able to apply repairs. As pointed out in one of the medical surveys there are around 5000 victims of retinopathy out of every block of 10 lakhs of people. Like it applies to all types of ailments, here too one is required to be cautious enough to notice the problem at the initial stage itself seeking the required medical remedies before it is too late to mend.
Is too much of cleanliness likely to cause problems ?
Cleanliness particularly in respect of house hold environment is a must as doctors and the environmentalists say as it forms an essential ingredient for better health but it is doctors again who suggest that too much of cleanliness is likely to cause health problems. Ailments like asthma, they say, spread out of a bigger measure of cleanliness. What we have been knowing till now is that major cause of an ailment has its roots in pollution and for that reason much of emphasis is laid on cleanliness. One can't have two extremes at the same time -keeping atmosphere clean and keep pollution by its side the same time. Possibly the answer lies in maintaining a moderate profile by reducing the usage of anti oxidants minimizing the application of anti insects devices including sprays with an intense exposure.
No limit to talking lies
Taking advantage of the fact that public memory is too short to go by what happened in the past, there are people who come out with blatant lies twisting their own statements beyond proportions. Kalyan Singh, the ex Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh and till recently a staunch Bhartiya Janta Party devout, now poses as if he had no hand in demolition of Babri Masjid at Ayodhya most conveniently forgetting that it was he only who was wholly instrumental in such a demolition and that it was he only who joined jubilations on that count taking credit to himself claiming that he acted as a martyr without any regrets for the resignation he had to submit from the post of Chief Ministership in that context. Nothing but a bundle of lies and lies only.
Is it that Nano's turned out to be a small affair only

banks and Tata show rooms for a glimpse at 'Nano' all stopped on 25th of the last month with closure of further bookings of the dream car. As against 7 lakhs of application forms issued, the bookings concluded at much lower a figure of 2 lakhs defeating the earlier expectations that it was elicit a sumptuous response. This no doubt gives a better chance to the applicants to get their choice car more easily instead of waiting for much longer a time and it also opens up a chance for another phase of bookings but what was expected response wise is definitely lacking.

To be honest to writing a blog post
Uniqueness and originality are the essential requisites, as opportunity givers prescribe in elaborate terms, for writing a post on a blog. Measured in strict terms, both uniqueness and originality in their chaste form are hardly possible to practice as whatever the theme of a particular topic is selected for a write up necessarily has its roots some where or the other. The great poet Mirza Ghalib had much of a semblance in his writings of what another great writer Firdausi penned in his works on face of the fact that both of them had no reason to know each other due to generation gap. The problem is common for all the writers when they pick up a topic out of current events and no event has any solitary point of exposure after it occurs. After an event occurs its description varies from writer to writer making it impossible for all of them to stick to an uniform expression and there the element of originality is bound to split in different dimensions. Prescription for uniqueness and originality thus can't at all be adhered to howsoever best a writer tries to be honest.
Routine irritants
Perusing post of a blog from a friend of mine for giving a comment I found that the particular post had hardly a total length of 10 words telling that she felt miserable with irritations like 'page not found' due to internet problems and hence she couldn't write as many posts as she wanted to. I got confused on giving a comment and had to reconcile with the remark that 'such problems are a common feature' with internet. When you are interacting with internet you never know as to how many irritants may occur during the whole process and there are occasions when even master experts in computer operations fail to locate the very area from where the fault is emerging. Looks like the problem is persistently inbuilt with computer operations and one has only to reconcile with it.
Drawing inspiration from brevity masters
I suffer from a feeling that no expression is complete unless a desired justice is done to its elaboration. Then the question arises as to what extent a point is to be elaborated, elaboration in its entirety or with an element of preciseness and this confusion finally lands me to a full length writeup on the subject which after all is a cumbersome task. I have come across certain posts in some blogs where the expression is confined just to a few lines to make the article complete. I too feel like falling in line with this type of writers to get rid of too lengthy a coverage on a topic. Topics till now covered by me have been around 300 words on an average and, if I draw an inspiration from the writers who are brief to the extent of barely a few words, it may serve the purpose if I too confine myself to a length of say within 100 words and here begins my new experiment without ofcourse knowing how my opportunity providers will take it. May be I am taking a risk.

Owning a fire arm
No dearth of fire arm owners as they are there in plenty with necessary licence or without it. Why they are required? Is it genuinely for a validly justified reason or just as a matter of fancy? Security is the reason quoted by all when they apply for a gun, pistol, revolver or rifle. More than security it is infact a status symbol and a tool of grandeur to impress, or say terrorise, others. My grand father had a rifle besides a 12 bore gun and those days lot of people came to him with curiosity to see the two items with an expression of awe as if they were something so rare as they actually were that time. There was a rule that if security reasons so demanded in the case of any individual any where in the locality, one who held a fire arm licence was supposed to rush to his rescue and that way my grand father was a great rescuer to lot of people. The very presence or a mere show of a fire arm on the scene used to be enough to scare away the looters, the dacoits or others attacking the innocent men and women. The privilege like many other things is no more confined to a few and the fire arms are now nearly as common as mobile phones. Those who can't manage a licence or can't afford it cost wise have no problem in acquiring desi arms at a low price from lot many local unauthorized dealers who feel fully free to carry their trade in an unfettered manner alarmingly compatible as it is with the weak law and order situation in the country.
