You have not to reveal to look beautiful

The beautiful picture of Pakistan's foreign minister Hina Rubbani Kher on the front page of HT reminds me of the Bollywood heroines Waheeda Rehman, Sadhna and many others of my era.

probably there is a hidden message to our Indian women folk-you have not to reveal to look beautiful.

In India we will do more service to our children in schools by educating them about cleanliness than by teaching them Geeta, Bible or Kuran.

Let religion be a personal matter, best taken care by the parents at home.The best schools can do, is to focus on natural dharma, which aims at making a person BETTER HUMAN BEING. By natural dharma i mean-truth, honesty in life, compassion, service of mankind, to be sensitive to other man's feelings and above all cleanliness not only of self but of the place and environment around.



In India we will do more service to our children in schools by educating them about cleanliness than by teaching them Geeta, Bible or Kuran.

India's refusal to accept a chellege of scoring 180 runs in 47overs in the final test against West Indies

india is at the top in ICC cricket ranking but at the testing times it has not acted like the chempion. Scoring 180 runs in 48 overs was not a very difficult task against the 7th ranking country but it decided to settle for a draw though the drawn series in the eventuality of the loss would not have effected its ranking. Australia in its hey day would have happily accepted the chellenge.

If you are a chempion you must look to be a chempion.

Murder of Neeraj Grover falls in the rarest of the rare cases

Why should the killer who hacked the body in to many pieces (even if we accept Maria’s lawyer’s version that 300 pieces is an exaggerated figure) be not awarded capital punishment? In India the provision of capital punishment exists for rarest of the rare cases and Jerome Mathew falls in this category. Agreed the Judge found Jerome guilty of culpable homicide under 304(I) of IPC, but then who is the murderer under Section 302? The Judge should have answered this before awarding lenient punishments to both to Maria and Jerome.

Indeed this judgment constitutes a prima-facie case of miscarriage of justice and calls for the pressure from general public and human rights bodies.
