Shame .........Shame...............

I have been dying to write a blog since the day I started this site. Today I do not like to find any excuse why shouldn't I write a blog.

Yesterday and today I read heart-breaking news in the newspaper and news sites. The news is about the murder attempt on Meena Kumari, an engineering student. As far as my knowledge goes this is the fourth time I heard such news from the same place, Vijayawada. The first victim is Sri Lakshmi, a MCA student brutally murdered by Manohar. The second being the murder of Lakshmi Sujatha, a news reader working for a private television and the third is the recent controversial Ayesha Meera's murder. The reason for these murders known till date is spurning the overtures of the murderers .

The moot question now is who is/are responsible for these incidents?????????????????

If one were to contemplate over this issue, where should it be started ?

I would like to start with the obsession boys have for girls. In fact there is nothing wrong being obsessed about girls..roaming, partying and romancing girls in fancy dreams. But when it comes to reality, there are limitations , to be precise in technical language, there are practical problems like synchronization and compatibility. Relations are often misunderstood and misinterpreted for obvious wrong reasons . I want to get married to some girl does not necessarily mean vice-versa. How simple is this logic!!!! And our insane idiotic fellow human beings could not understand this simple fact and went ahead with their own justifications to kill .

How far are girls/women responsible for such incidents????

Should not they know whom they are roaming with to the parties, cinema, club, pub etc... Should not they bother about the kind of friends they want to be with ? I don't think women are naive to understand the psychology of boys they roam with.

I would also like to talk about the invading or intruding western culture in our educational institutions. Are we not sensible enough to understand the incompatibilities of western culture with that of us??? MISS DAISY, MISS FRESHER, FRESHER'S PARTIES etc..., though add colour to the student life , one must know to what extent he/she must get involved. Girls and Boys are encouraged (to the wildest guess possible) to dance /booze in such parties. In a recent survey it is known that almost 70% of the girls lost their virginity in such occasions in foreign countries. It may not take much time to reach a comparable figure in INDIA. All the senseless attractions or likings start budding in such occasions and then problems of synchronization and compatibility like triangle or quadrangle love etc.. develop and later subsequently result in chaos.

Having discussed boys and girls , let us try to analyze the role of parents, teachers, police, television.

Its certainly not fair enough to blame the parents for the actions of their children. But should not they keep an eye on at least the relations their children are in? Now a days (some) parents of girls are under the wrong impression of broad mindedness. I know people who would allow friends (boys) of their daughters to stay in their home till late night and later faced problems.

In the case of murder of Sri Lakshmi , it is believed that one of the teachers of the college used to encourage the misbehavior of Manohar. I could not think of any thing more weird than this. Such acts on the teachers part are reprehensible. As per records Sri Lakshmi has lodged complaints on Manohar earlier for his misbehavior. Its ridiculous that the police could not trace Manohar even in the college. Even in Ayesha Meera's murder, the case has not been properly dealt by the police. Irresponsibility of the police in this regard is highly condemnable. A simple and straight forward question by any sane human being would be --What if the same happens to a big shot's daughter or a politician's daughter ?????????? Will the case be treated in the same way????????? The most unfortunate thing is that the murder is politicized to the maximum extent possible by some political parties. It is clearly evident that there are some invisible and invincible forces behind this murder. The Chief Minister himself was misled about the details of the case.

Finally, let us talk about the role of media, especially the electronic media. Almost all television channels have excelled the art of attracting people through crime based programs . They have hired expert people who could even modulate their tones and give the dts effect
while narrating the crime incidents. I really fail to understand the real motive of such programs. It is a free video tutorial class for anybody who wants to indulge in similar activities. Should their be no ban on such programs??????????? Its just another example of the selfish motive of money-minded minds to increase their TRP ratings.

Such incidents when highly publicized, though would attract lot of condemn, would actually send wrong signals to the society. Now a days acid-attacks, man handling, murder attempts through dreadful weapons are understood to be the solutions for the scorn feeling girls have towards boys .

So, now what is the conclusion??????????

What / Who is responsible for such heinous and barbaric incidents?

All the above mentioned reasons are responsible to some or the extent. If not in the same proportion one factor may be less responsible that the other. On the whole its a mixed package of all the wrong reasons.

Let us hope the culprits would be punished and such events do not repeat.

Why Blog?

I feel incomplete...

A lack of fulfillment surrounds me. I want to do a lot of things but don't do any. Why? Because I am a lazy man! Then the guilt starts. And incompleteness.

Writing is one of the things I always wanted to do. It brings me joy. A sense of fulfillment. Ideas are thought, discussed, argued upon, dissected, rebuilt, and grown. A immortal piece of me is left behind. I die. My writings don't! Even if nobody reads them.

For every word that I write, I am indebted to millions of people. And objects. From the pen that I hold in my hand, to the computer that stares at me, to the world wide web, to this blog website, to the chair that I sit, to the people that made them all, to the people who have influenced by life, to my parents, my teachers, my friends, to the nature that surrounds me; I bow to you. In gratitude.

A dialogue from The Matrix comes to mind - “there is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path”. There is a difference between thinking and doing.

So I blog.

Hey guys i have not engrossed in my thoughts ,but still writing

Almost at the end of our course, sometimes a thought or so comes whether IISc life was routine life?Am I upto its standards or is IISc upto my expectations? But partial satisfaction or relief comes when it comes to my mind that I ( in general most of us) have more or less experienced all sort of emotions, (emotions ..I mean to say joy, enjoyment, temporary success, temporary distress, hallunciations, sleeping all the day, seeing movies all the day, few days only working (may be some days without sleep), never forgetful chit-chatting in mess, all the KJ's and pulling each other legs (especially preparation days during exams), late assignment submissions.....

Finally what I feel is, I go through all these so called emotions everyday (like 'ugadi pacchadi'), Life here is so beautiful guys , u can't explain , u can only feel it.

Mr.Buzzi has put me in pressure and made me write it on the spot, I was unhappy over it. And happy because I felt happy to recollect all da happy incidents.Temporary success because I have written blog, temporary unhappy because I stopped playing age of empires to write this blog.

Whatever I felt I have written ,hoping ur comments to be like an addendum and criticism.

Can any one express every thing in words??

I was just going through my previous blog and thought I could have written some part of the blog in a much better way ... n all then I felt like "can we express every thing we feel in life in words?? " Every emotion like sadness, Happness, depression etc.
I feel like, there are some things in life, which you can only feel your self... you can't express them to the same extent you feel or enjoy them to others... In other words I would like to say "there are some feelings in life which u can't express in words".


P.S. This is my personal opinion...

Filmi Ambience @ IISc...

Just look around at the ambiance in IISc... The trees covered in autumn colors, red and yellow... The yellow leaves sprinkled on the roads... The spray of colorful flowers everywhere... The sweet scents... The mild drizzles... The breeze... I think I can even hear some soothing music! It's unbearably romantic!! It almost looks like the setting of a Karan Johar movie!!! I can almost imagine Shah Rukh Khan, in jeans and a T-shirt, going around with a guitar, giving away free advice to youngsters in love... Sometimes I feel like taking a walk in these beautiful environs too... But alas, I can't, because of this villain called research... So, instead, here I am, in front of this stupid monitor, supposed to do research for the benefit of humanity. Instead, here I am, doing something totally pointless, like writing up this blog-entry!!!!
