The nemesis of Kasab

I had talked about this in my earlier post and sadly I feel the need to reiterate again, the unreasonableness, the hopelessness of running the trial of Kasab.

After the carnage that he left behind and the innumerable proofs that we have of not only his involvement but also the larger role played by the country of his origin, where is the need for a legal proceeding? So much of time, effort and money is being wasted for nothing. Yes, every accused should be given a fair trial but shouldn't we see if a person deserves it?

Kasab is currently doing what any accused would do under such circumstances - lie .. left, right and center. Why are we even asking him? My blood boils when I hear news items like "Kasab demands non vegetarian, spicy food in jail". The guy has the audacity to "demand"? The front pages of newspapers scream the bullshitting that he does on a daily basis.

When we don't have an iota of doubt of whether an accused has performed a crime of the severity and magnitude as the 26/11 one, when the accused doesn't have a shred of remorse for his crime, that accused does not deserve a trial. Its an insult to all those who were massacred on that day (and of course their relatives) and particularly to those who laid their lives fighting (my heart goes out to Mr. Ombale - hope his sacrifice does not go in vain).

We, the citizens of India, whose money is being wasted for this stupidity, should come together and protest and demand an immediate closure of the case and hang Kasab without wasting any more time. Let us come together once again and take out a morcha and call for an action.

2012 - Biggest horror movie!

For all the good reviews and adulation that this movie has received, I must admit, I myself felt pretty terrified after watching it! After all, the subject matter was, our dear old planet - Earth and if, God forbid, anything untoward happens to it, we don't have anywhere else to go .. not in our Solar system. I happened to watch a pirated version of this movie, in a video coach bus traveling from Mangalore to Mumbai. So, you see, in spite of being so scared, it was not possible for me to escape from the venue.

Thank God, I could lay my hands over a FAQ from NASA in their site. Please go through the column and heave a sigh of relief! (in case you are amongst those who were left petrified by this movie)

Looks like we have time but, needless to say, we need to take care of our planet Earth. The melting glaciers, untimely rains, receding forests, increasing pollution, frequent natural calamities, extreme climates, etc. is not a good sign and surely can't be harmless.. what say? After all, its our responsibility to hand over a safe and beautiful environment to our future generation to stay in. Please make sure you contribute in your own way and that includes, not adding to the damage!

Save our environment!
