NO MERCY

SEE NO EVIL.....HEAR NO EVIL........SPEAK NO EVIL
These are one of the many immortal words of the great Mahatma Gandhi who drove away the British rule from India. His weapons in this battle were truth, non-violence & forgiveness. India was reborn with these ideologies then......But in this present world do these ideologies still matter?????

India is still said to be a humble & forgiving country. Should we take that as a compliment......I dont think these are still our strengths. Our country has been & is still being repeatedly attacked by terrorists, moaists other countries but how does India reply back. Is our country not strong enough to face them once & for all. Or do we lack the man power & technology for so. Does our country do anything about this......if yes then why are all these still happening. When was the last time a death sentence was executed in India? It was in 2004. Instead of executing death sentences our country favors to accept mercy petitions. If the people committing crimes & offence dont even have the fear of sever punishment or death why would they stop their work. In June 2012, it created quite a storm when it became known that Indian president Pratibha Patil commuted the death sentence of as many as 35 convicts to life near the end of her 5 year term as the president including 4 on the same day(June 2).Further, it caused embarrassment to the government when it came to light that one of these convicts Bandu Baburao Tidke- convicted for the rape and murder of a 16 year old girl- had died 5 years ago due to HIV. The Mumbai attacks was one of the biggest terrorism attack in India......What reply did we send back to the terrorists........there are still bomb blasts having to this date. Why cant we put an end to this. If our country would want then no can can dare mess with it. We need to stand up & say enough.

We cannot deal with every situation with forgiveness. I know to forgive is divine but that does not apply to all situations. We cant keep forgiving something that destroys us slowly & slowly. We need to stand up to those who stand against our country. We need to put such fear into them that they will think twice before going against us.

PAIN IS UNAVOIDABLE BUT SUFFERING IS OPTIONAL..........LET US NOT SUFFER ANYMORE.

RING....RING..........

                                                            
The cell phone is one of the most rapidly growing new technologies in the world. In 2001, cell phone subscriptions were less than a billion worldwide with the majority of the subscriptions from the developed countries. At the end of 2010, however, cell phone subscriptions had reached five billion worldwide with subscriptions from developing countries outnumbering that of the developed countries. Cell phones have become one of the basic of our lives. We eat with them, live with them, sleep with them, work with them......some of us cant even imagine how our ex-generation lived when these phones weren't there.


Cell phones have brought a whole new meaning to the term multitasking. Twenty years ago, it was not possible to talk to the office while you were at the grocery store picking up some necessary items. Cell phones have also enabled families to keep in closer touch with each other. We can make urgent calls in case of some emergency. We cant connect to anyone anywhere in the world with just a press of few buttons. Now a days cell phones have become much more than just a phone.....it can do many wonders like video browsing, games, internet, music & much more. Cell phones have changed the way of life.


But cell phones also have a negative side too. During recent years, the use of mobile phones has increased substantially and has been paralleled by a
growing concern about the effects on health attributed to exposure to the electromagnetic fields produced by them and their base stations. Demonstrating that radiation causes adverse effects on health would signal a widespread public health problem. Mobile phones emit radio frequency or microwave radiation. Exposure to such a radiation could affect health directly. Research is still being done to find concrete conclusions to the affect of cell phones on human body. In the meantime we should talk till necessary & use earpiece whenever we can.


Cell phones can even become an addiction for some. Majority of teens say that they wont have a social life without their cell phones. But life went on before cell phones were invented didn't it......Our parents survived right. But they use them now & it has become a necessity for them. No one blames them. The world is becoming so advanced & fast for us all that we have to keep up with it. For this we need cell phones & other such gadgets. As for social life i know we can call our friends anytime we want or text them.....But what about that person standing right in front of you. Today when people are waiting for a bus or something, they just pull out their cell phones and speak with old friends, missing out on the opportunity to make new ones. In large cities, many people do not know their neighbors, even though they may have lived in the same neighborhood for years. As a society, we are beginning to lose the face-to-face contact that was such an important part of our lives in the past.


Cell phones have changed our lives in both good ways and bad ways. All in all, I'm not saying that cell phones are a bad thing......We should just remember, however, to hang up every once in a while and pay attention to the world around you...... Its a Beautiful World out there.

BLACK AS COAL


Sixth september 2012... one of the darkest of days in the political history of odisha. What started as a general rally due to agitation against the long ruling BJD party by the leading opposition party in Odisha or Congress turned into a day that the non-violence loving people of Bhubaneswar may not be able to forget so quickly. Congress supporters led by 1984 Sikh Riots Blacksheep Jagdish Tytler agitated the ensemble against the Chief Minister of Odisha, demanding his resignation for his alledged involvement in the recent Coal Allotment Scam or as popularly known 'Coalgate'.




The term 'Coalgate' referering to a multi-billion dollar scam exposed by the Controller and Auditor General of India. What the CAG Report said was that the Allocation of various Coal Blocks in Mineral Rich states of India including Odisha were done to Government favoured Companies at throw away prices thereby causing a big dent to the Govt. exchequer. CAG reported that had the Coal blocks been allocated to companies through the established process of competitive bidding, then the gain to the Government would have been massive. The loss accounted for as estimated by the CAG is upto 1.85 Lac Crores.


The Opposition, BJP blamed the centre for the scam and disrupted nearly the whole monsoon session of Parliament without letting much proceedings to go ahead demanding immediate resignation of the Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh. Various major Bills were stopped due to an uncooperative opposition in the parliament leading to absolute chaos in both the houses of Parliament followed by adjournment of the Houses. They were blaming that the Government used favoritism for personal gains and hence did not allocate the Coal blocks according to the policy formulated in 2004.


However Congress party at the Centre blames the state Governments in which most Coal Blocks are present and are mostly ruled over by the opposition. The Central Government says that the governments of major coal bearing states including Chattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, West Bengal opposed the process of competitive bidding as they felt that it would increase the cost of coal, adversely impact value addition and development of industries in their areas and legally it would have been difficult for the centre to go ahead with bidding process without the consensus of these leading parties with diverse interests. Although the same is being denied by the Chief Minister of Odisha, Naveen pattnaik was on the back foot because of his ministers earlier involvement in the Mining Scam. Both this were enough reasons for the Leading Opposition party of Odisha to take the streets against what they called a Corrupt and Incompetent BJD party and thus came out the thugs of Congress party for a Rally outside the Odisha Parliament. Incited by a hateful and angry speech by Jagdish Tytler and Odisha Pradesh Congress leader Niranjan Pattnaik, the mob gathered started pelting stones at the security officials and forcefully breaking cordons setup by the Bhubaneswar City Police. Police also reiterated by Lathicharging the crowd, and using water cannons and tear gas to disperse the crowd which lead to the mob becoming more violent leading to clashes between both parties. What followed was an ugly scene in Bhubaneswar with more than 100 people injured in the clashes including security personnel.


Although the Supreme Court of India has since ordered the Government to reply to it stating why the policy of competitive bidding was not followed and what steps have been proposed against the Companies who are involved in breach of their contracts, it still remains a mystery as to when and how will the Protests, the Violence, the Riots and the Bandh's which have virtually taken over the running of this country and are a regular sight all over India eventually end. Will these Protests and the Bandh's yield any result or are these just demonstrations of strength by Political parties in which blood and sweat of innocent civilians flows ... It is for the people to see that neither the Centre nor the States are in the right here and hence any protest the people take up might lead to a different political party but not a different state of affairs.

WE FOR BY......PEOPLE

Men & their struggle for power knows no boundaries.

In this case im talking about the power of position in politics. There was a rally on the 6th of this month by the Congress apposing the BJD rule by Naveen Patnaik. It all happened at the Odisha assembly. This rally turned aggressive & ended up being a massive riot. They all clashed with the police. 260 were left injured including 60 police personnel.
But i would like to bring ur attention to one particular police woman who was brutally beaten by several people in the protest. Her name is Pramilla Padhi & like several others she was just doing her duty which was establishing peace & order. She was dragged on the road by her hair, getting beaten by bamboo sticks & was being hit by people. She is right now recovering from serious injuries in the hospital.


This incident just kept reminding me of the Guwahati molestation case. Same brutality just different place, different situation & different people. I just dont get these people anymore. Is there something wrong with them psychologically???
I bet half of the people in that rally were men for hire who had nothing to do with the Congress or the BJD. I guess people in general have lot of anger inside them & they just need outlets to release them. I wish they devoted this anger & aggression at their jobs or professions rather than on the streets beating people.
If u have a problem with the governing party talk about it.....tell about it. If theres any  truth in your beliefs & allegations then actions will take its own course. But how is getting down on the road creating chaos going to help it.
That woman in that police uniform is supposed to mean something & what happened didnt put out a good example of how it should be treated.

Do you people still call yourselves Men after beating a police woman in a bunch?????

Play It Safe

SEX......sounds good right.......how about SAFE SEX??? I know this puts a Booooooo on few peoples mind.

First of all let me clear that im not here to talk about the age limit for intercourse or its impact on young children or anything else like that. Today im just going to talk about having safe sex.

Like food, water or shelter, sex is also a basic need\instinct of human beings & i bet no one can deny that (and whoever does........ stop lying man, your going to hell). Society now a days sort of puts this in front of or eyes that sex is a bad thing or whatever. According to me sex is perfectly fine if both you & your partner are adults & both wish to do it without any pressure or worries. But the most important thing is that you practice safe sex.

Your probably wondering this isnt something new, everyone knows that. But let me tell you even today we are still not that changed. I dint do like a survey to find this out....... 2 of my friends have had sex multiple times without using a condom. Its not like they are illiterate or dont know its consequences. Its just that they dont want to use them & that make them complete idiots. When i ask them why dont you use a condom, their answers are like......"dude it spoils all the fun" (yeah right how about getting her pregnant & having a baby that sounds pretty fun)........sometimes its.... "dont worry dude i can control myself" (wow i have got the Buddha as my friend).
If thats what my friends think then im sure there are thousands more like them. Come on people do you really want to ruin your life over a 10 rupee condom. Pregnancy......STDs......Not worth it im telling you. This is the 21st century so stop behaving like primitives & start behaving like responsible human beings. Trust me it is better to be safe than to worry.

Have a safe & happy sex life.......
