Suffocating Julian Assange.....


In the walks of life you will always happen to see extraordinary people, doing extraordinary things. Why is it extraordinary, can't everyone do it? of course everyone can, but nobody would dare to, that's what makes it extraordinary. i think Julian Assange is one such man who deserve the title "extraordinary". He represents the "free world" where there are no classified files, no top secrets, where everyone has the right for information. Yes, there are many pros and cons for this, but still we can check overspending in the name of national security and violation of human rights.

Mr. Assange has now reached a blind alley, no the right words would be the big power players drew him to a blind alley. Legal actions against him are violations of human rights, i.e they are denying him freedom of expression. Now Wikileaks are forced to withheld its operation due to the financial blockade by Bank of America, VISA, Master Card, Paypal and Western Union. American government which lectures about the denial freedom of speech in China, North Korea, Venezuela etc mindfully neglecting their misdeeds. When wikileaks published documents regarding American foreign policies and their secret meetings they got agitated. Wikileaks torn apart the false masks of all governments and exposed their misdeeds. Around the globe more than 72% of people, including America, support Wikileaks. They can't force people from helping Wikileaks that's why they are blocking the medium through  which help comes. He pleaded for the help of all those people who cares. I don't understand when did consensual sex become rape. After all the accusations this is what they can came up with, a sex scandal, and they are extraditing him to Sweden, for saying truth. Most shameful and pathetic day of our history. Our world is going through a tough transitional stage. Power is shifting from a small group of people, who always thought they have some kind of hereditary superiority over others, to the common men. American government's double- facedness is chocking them. Their government is defiling the entire American nationality.

If this is what happens when truth is told, its high time we have to reinvent ourselves and our political systems.

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. ...
