It's time to change our attitude

Osama bin Laden is dead atlast. Americans were cheering like, they have won the football worldcup. In their eyes bin Laden is the most dangerous and wretched person ever lived on this planet, probably second to Hitler. Osama was a bad human being there is no argument about that, but cheering and enjoying the death of a person, even if it is your enemy is not a healthy practice. If we enjoy and take pride in killing then what is the difference between us and a guy a like Osama; he took pride in his jihadi killings and we take pride in our revenge.
Yesterday when i was going through the channels i happened to hear the official speech made by Ms. Hilary clinton, she said justice has been served and Osama had never valued human life. Were these Americans (American Govt. , not people) ever valued human life other than theirs. What did they do when they invade Panama, which was codenamed Operation Just Cause and nobody could forget what they did in vietnam.
I am not saying this to defend Osama's bad and cruel deeds, what i am saying is it is not a good sign, in being happy, over someone's deadbody. The most important thing is that how could Mr. Obama let his force kill Osama bin Laden. He should have tried to bring Osama bin Laden alive. Mr. President always says that he is a peace loving person and he is a great admirer of Gandhiji.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present social values. Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions" - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
