Right or wrong?


Is violence justifiable by its cause?, a question which stands soaring after vast amount of  rational thought and endless debating. This is more of a philosophical question than practical. Some take the path of violence and some peace. Does a  man/woman who takes the path of violence becomes bad or immoral even if his/her aim is righteous? i know i am not the one who supposed to judge such great things, but i am forced to ask such questions as no one responsible in our society is giving much preference to it. Let's take the instance of Maoist attack, some take the side of Maoists yet some others side with Police, in Manipal, Indian Army has done things which violate human rights yet in that case too people took two stands. Whether its a Maoist or a policeman when some one dies the ripple of pain and suffering the death creates dissipates in the network of people related to that dead person. So definitely violence can leave scar on the face of society and its repercussions could be insurmountable. 

A man who want to bring goodness to the society chose the path of violence, is he just the same as a man who chose violence simply to attain his personal desires? is there no difference between them. I beg to think differ, b'coz what ever be the weapon, the weapon is only as bad or as good as the person uses it (we all know the saying that a weapon is only as good as the person uses it). It is the individual and his intentions which are the deciding factor, not the path. i am not justifying violence its just that some times it is necessary. Sometimes it is justifiable, if it is for the greater good of society.

Why can't we be much more liberal in attitude towards this issue. As we all know, each and every human being is different from one another but when certain issues like this we are obstinate of being settle with one solution, which each and every one of us think is right. We never try to see it from different perspectives. This is where we could use the help of great people (great doesn't mean, by their position but by their deeds) like Binayak Sen, Mahaswetha Devi, Abdul Kalam, Baba Aamte etc., whether we listen to them or not is another big issue to debate. My point being, people like this influence society in its development of  moral side, as people look up to them as intellectual or icons.

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...

Legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray

I hope everyone has noticed the excitement created by the death of Bala Saheb Thackeray. Its just fine if you want to pay tribute to Mr.Thackeray and call him a great visionary and all. India is a democratic country you have every right to do as you please as long as it doesn't obstruct someone else's right. But when Maharashtra govt. arrested two girls charging them, of hurting religious feelings(Section 295 (a)) and IT Act for posting anti-Thackeray comments in facebook, any man in his/her right mind would agree, they have over-stepped their boundary. What religion are they talking about, he is a political leader,whose motto was to carry off non-Maharashtriyans from Maharashtra. Actually what the girls did was, one among them posted some comment on facebook wall and the other girl liked it. Those remarks showed their anger against the "bandh"(strike) on the day of Thackeray's death. If that wasn't enough shiv sainiks vandalised one of the girl's uncle...

Long live humans

I always wondered by the fact that on what basis did they give Mr. Obama a Nobel peace prize. All that i can remember what he did is talking. Or is it because he wrote a book, then its definitely not a big deal at all. Even Paris Hilton did publish books. Any one can write a book now a days, if it is by a celebrity then its going to be a best seller even if it has blank pages. As far as i know you don't expect to acquire peace by talking, you need to do something for that. Even so i think he is much much better than Mr.Bush. In India we have a decent and respectable man as a PM but as we all know he doesn't have a say in any matter. He must stand up to his reputation. People think he is just a puppet in the hands of Congress. If we go to Italy it is worse in there. PM is a morally  deteriorated person. The man slept with almost every women he came across and is accused with paying money for underage sex. Still the guy is shameless. Another one is Mr.Gaddhafi who is not r...
