Xtra Celluloid

Recently, this discussion was sprouted as a result of another discussion we (Me and Raju Sir) were holding. The discussion was pivoted on 'How far it is necessary to award a death sentence-however serious the crime may be' and he (Raju Sir) seems to have good ideas and opinions which actually make sense, not only in a humanitarian way, but also in an economic and social ways. Is it necessary for a person to be killed as a punishment to his crimes ? Not exactly. The intent of a punishment is to make people know that they have done a crime and they are not supposed to repeat these acts, and also serves as a precedent to others who even think of committing a crime. Killing a person does nothing to him, although it triggers fear in certain people who think of committing the same offense. But, that alone is not enough, especially if you can do a lot more in addition. As the number of crimes being committed are increasing these days, fear of law is clearly declining which challeng

The following content is originally a mail I have written to panelonsexworkers@gmail.com in order to give my views and ideas to curb prostitution and providing remedial solutions for those who are involved. The 'Article' that is referred here is as appeared in Hindu dated 25the August, 2011 by the name 'Court:Impart technical skills to sex workers' While the court's decision to impart technical skills to the sex workers is laudable, it is limited in terms of acceptance of their services from the major section of public. So, apparently, this decision of court is not seemed as a remedy for those who are in the sex-working domain, instead, simply as a loss of existing livelihood, as correctly put forth in the article. I suggest a few solutions to solve this problem : A possible solution for this could be their relocation and complete wipe-off of their previous identity, which helps them to face the public confidently and lead a normal life. This means, there should

Anna Hazare fast against corruption claiming to be following Gandhiji who never supported satyagraha in a republic INDIA               The fierce battle between Government (UPA) and the Anna Hazare's team over whose version is more acceptable has been the hot topic of discussion among media, different NGO's, opposition parties, different sections of people these days. Everyone discussing the issue in what areas it helps or affects them, their sphere of social, economic and political life, if applicable.                While the agitation over passing civil society's Lokpal bill is gaining support among people, certain sections have difference of opinions in the way he chose to stage his protests. First of all, a person claiming himself to be Gandhian should understand that, Satyagraha, Civil disobedience and other tactics that hinder normal life or pressurize governments are completely unacceptable and unconstitutional. It is completely unfair to take Gandhi's wa

Perceptions: Good and bad, useful and useless, interesting and boring, vivid and dull has nothing to do with the subject or the situation you are in. All that we feel is the play of perceptions. What we perceive good may be perceived as bad for someone else. And these perceptions, as many may feel, are not hardwired and can, instead be changed, in a way that is productive to use. Problem with the wrong or unfruitful perceptions: When you have been asked to do a job, say, to prepare a document that has nothing to do with you, and of course not a regular job for you, you feel disgruntled. Instead, think of it this way, ‘hey, I got an opportunity to learn something new, which I do not do often, so, let us give it a try, being poised.’ That is how you have to think. After all, if not to learn about things, what else is the life for?’ And once you feel a positive urge, you will see things dramatically changed, for good, and outcome, grand. What as a st
