Fed up of strays littering his compound, a senior citizen in his sixties took the drastic step of shooting two stray dogs with his air gun <Senior citizen shoots two stray dogs>
Politicos beware: you never know when some one gets bored with your littering and starts bang..bang…
Note: The guy got a case registered against him under Animal Act for shooting at stray canines….hmm animal act on human….I wonder, when a canine bites a man…which act should it be booked under???
bow-wow-woof-woof…
The good news continues to come from Court of Sonepat, where the Hon Judge held a minor guilty of murder and sent him to work as peon in govt school (Link here). Earlier I’d blogged about another ruling here.
Wish if we could apply similar sense while sentencing Majors well err…our politicos. I can’t wait to see the day when these criminal-MPs and MLAs sweep my streets, clean my toilets and drive the garbage trucks.
Well On second thought, they might turn it into Jhadoo Yatra, Sandaas Rally and Kachra Morcha…..
The thought is shivering to say the least….
An earth-shattering, ground trembling, Humpty-dumpty tumbling news has just broken….
Obama and Hillary are actually siblings..born to the same Afro-parents….and they have a sister…who is yet un-named…
Well all this happened in Malaysia (Link here) with an innocent lion family…tch tch tch…poor cats..
I am wondering…if this happened in India, how offended the poor cubs might feel if they are called Lalu/Amar/Mamta/Jaya…..
I see a certain Maneka taking up their case in the highest court of law…
well once again I wonder….
Of all other charges, Kasab the bugger has also been charged of being without ticket at CST… (Link here)
I wonder…during the Kandhar hijack drama, did the politicos buy tickets for the buggers they carried along and handed over them to the talib-f***rs…
If not, shouldn’t they be booked under flying without tickets or boarding passes or whatever….
Judiciary, Legislature, Executive and Press, the so called four pillars of Democracy with the Press acting as a control mechanism to the former three and keeping them in check (that’s the expectation).
Recently, a Journo and her media house took on a hapless blogger and served him a legal notice for exercising freedom of speech and commenting on their reporting during 26/11,
what a mega crime the poor guy did….he chose to speak his mind..didn’t he know that its the Journo’s prerogative, you say anything against them and guess what ….they will sue you.
Its laughable more than surprising to hear such a charge being leveled by Media, specially the electronic media, that never misses an opportunity to express “its opinion” on any issue rather than the issue itself ….may it be a domestic squabble or mating habits of cats & dogs or singing paeans of the new Prez of US (I heard some band singing ” ओबामा ओबामा, तुने कर दियाहंगामा“ on TV….. wtf).
How often do we see a chat show with the host of the show taking sides and panning a hapless participant who not only has to fend with his opponents but also has to deal with a hostile host.
Then comes the “exclusive footage” available with all the news channels featuring the vandals either at a railway station or a pub or any place on earth, and our reporter friends are always there to capture each and every move…what a coincidence….(well I am confused…the vandals did live coverage & reporting or the reporter did live vandalizing….)
I always assumed that the media is supposed to bring out the complete picture rather than giving its own shades and colors to the story.
May be I got it wrong….May be media is just another business….may be………..

The basis of my assumptions was the Preamble of code of ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists, that states:
“….public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy.The duty of the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues. Conscientious journalists from all media and specialties strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty. Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist’s credibility”

THE SPIRIT OF MUMBAI…its the phrase I strongly denounce, with all the respect to Mumbaikars, this statement has been abused to such an extent that suddenly it feels like there is no value to the sheer fact that people have lost lives, people have died and died a gruesome death for a spending an evening at a cafe, for dining at a hotel, for heading back home, FOR LIVING THEIR OWN LIFE.
My question is, why does it always has to be like this, how can someone simply start going back to work, the very next day of any gruesome tragedy, why should people use the same local trains that were bombed just a day before, why should people walk the platform of a station that was covered with blood of innocent people…
Some would say its part of life, we have to live with it…there is no other option….
But I say, this is not a part of life…we DO NOT have to live like this…no one deserves to live like this….why should we live in a constant fear that any one might come and shoot me or my loved one…
Why cant the city and people of India stand firm for once and demand stern action from all those who are accountable to run the city/state/nation….
A SAFE INDIA, is it too much to ask for????
