Peeved Supreme Court- Does it hurt That much!!!!!

Image
Yes i was pleasantly awakened to a 'BOLD' article on Supreme court's(Vacation bench's) style of functioning and what impact it has on general Litigant's mood in TOI. Yes its Bold(True) & Beautiful(that's disputable)............................................ Let's defend BOLD First- The Sr. reporter in the eye of the storm is Dhananjay Mahapatra. The article mentions many areas of neglect which is normally not to be observed in the corridors of Country's topmost Judiciary. Consider few lapses here and there but overall why is it always considered Blasphemy to question Honble Supreme Court's Moral guardians- their Judges; GOD reserves the right to be pleaded for mercy/ pardon and anything which cleanses Human fallacies. I am no good at judicative of the point at hand, but i feel its the openness in discussing few issues like being on time to the proceedings/ if a Judge stays back late in hearing cases make provisions to delay lat...

Open Letter to Mr. Srinivasan

Dear Srinivasan Avargalae, It’s a point in time when you are more used to receiving bombardments for your resignation/ apologies/ prostrate before media requests and many more acts of guilt cleansing and i might be the single soul to write a letter asking you to do some SOUL SEARCHING. If you have been a regular TOI reader you might have got the clue from their GYAN-INNER PEACE section bang under the editorial (guest writers) writeups..............................nevertheless you must have taken to deep aversion to word TOI by now.  WHY AVERSE TO TOI!- my thinking I was pretty amused (TimesofIndia) the first 2 days when they carried Chennai  Heavyweight's  exploits off the cricketing field; to be frank it’s a newspaper's adventure in exposing a supposedly tainted Cricket administrator. In depth analysis of his links and much more..................but with TV channels being relentless in attempts to get something out of Srinivasan's mouth...

Bhadrakali- Slaying Asura

I stumbled upon this Mythical Goddess in the Tamil movie of Sri A C Tirulokchander made in 1976 on one late afternoon on a Tamil movie channel. The movie made in late 70's portrayed the protagonist in a state of affairs where she is branded psychotic but a stroke of luck eventually leads to the death of a flesh hungry villain and she becoming a Goddess; the plot thickened around the protagonist very well with one particular dialogue mentioning, 'there is Bhadrakali in every woman'. Then i wondered why not remind hapless coy women who have sought equal rights in all spheres of life except in bashing a flesh hungry man yielding a weapon of her choice. Bhadrakali has many associations as a divine incarnate to rid the world of Asuras. She is considered the daughter of Lord Shiva. But why have woman not risen like this blood thirsty goddess in times of extreme danger. I do not mean cinematic unreasonable instances but at least ways by which one ...
