An unpleasant phrase “BLOODY INDIAN”. As blood sucking vampires prowl, we have spread our vicious fangs everywhere only to be hated. We are more of a bloodthirsty race than loving, caring and perhaps religious. Time stands testimony to our genocides innumerable. We have disciplined ourselves towards the motto of looting and self aggrandizement. In this process, we outdo each other. Take the simple case of policing the country. We have a disciplined force that channels money received by unscrupulous means. In a train journey, a young army officer was saying to the TTE that everyone in this country is up for sale and wanted to know his rate so that a berth could be reserved for him. More the so, this young officer was boasting of the lacs he has embezzled at such a young age; less than 30. I was going through the newspapers one day that reported how Chinese weapons smuggled into the North-east made way to the Maoist guerillas in the states affected by the menace. Beautiful exampl

A person with a hammer will always try to look out for nails to be hammered. It is obvious so and people have adopted it to suit their needs and means. People harbour this mentality and is a fact. It is obvious for an IT (read income tax) professional to look out for offenders, the policemen to look out for objects of suspicion, doctors to look into a patient's mind for disorders, an IT (read information technology) professional to believe how beautiful this world would have been if all services were computerised, and the list of professions stretch on and on. It perhaps would not be improper to make believe that every individual dwells in his or her own realm of belief and the mind stretches out of boundaries to explore newer ideas. But then, ideas need implementation. Somewhere in the world of stupidity, we tend to bring forth ideas that never justifies and, in the ego to put forth in a forum, use force and coerce others' minds to believe it. The handsomeness that capacit

It is all in the game said someone. See the coin, it has two sides and one without the other wouldn't carry much weight. It is dangerous too! How? It may be construed from a simple reality that the world has seen enough bloodshed over money. Kingdoms and countries plundered in the name game to raise levels in power play. But to benefit the fiefdom of the lessee? That is dangerous. Thus came into existence Masters who were Dangerous. These dangerous masters needed obedient Servants for to satisfy their never ending list of wishes. Ragging though has been banned from Colleges across the country, but do we talk about ragging in real life? Our lives are held hostage in smaller fiefs of dangerous masters! Be it the local rickshaw-puller, the bus conductor or your office colleague. They are more knowledgeable and can rag you every now and then with impeccable impunity. Immunity to being caught offtrack while ragging by such people is their subscribing to even more dangerous masters. So

Accidents in this great land of ours that boasts of a great civilisation has become too frequent to care about. To remain calm and forget; as time is the biggest healer perhaps is one of our compulsions. Lord Buddha might have preached this too in current scenario with Mahatma Gandhi adding flavours. But what when your followers dwindle by the act of genocide and modern cannibalism? Our security is perhaps is in our own hands. But allow me to say that the companies that sell security perhaps will be the biggest achievers with sales breaking all known barriers of marketing . The recent spurt in organised market of crime and related activities has flourished to such an extent that commoners have become easy targets of prey. Our approach towards accidents is strange too. I could not help appreciating a comment made on TV by an eminent activist on railway consumer disputes, when he said, "Engines roll, bogies roll, passengers roll but not a HEAD roll". Accidents on roads are
