The Delhi high court deplored the practice of politicians moving around with gun-toting security gaurds, which has come be treated as a “status symbol” and causes inconvenience to public.A division bench headed by Justice T S Thakur said politicians were not a “national asset” that should be protected by so many security personnel.Do you agree with this statement?
Abx said...
101 % agreeed they have no right to enjoy the security on pubilc money in fact, these are the goons and need no prtection at all
Niceguy said...
ABSOLUTELY AGREE. It is grossly misused and public not only pays for it but is harrassed too.

Its a stark reflection of the changed times. The great Mahatama walked all over India, only in his dhoti & a stick in hand. Today, The black cats, commondos & endless chain of chamchas. A sad reflection of the transition this class of Indian society has made.
Vrij said...
I have a better solution. Since each minister is going to be given multiple person security at each one's homes, why not pool all of them in one big house? That way we save a lot on security personnel. How abt a site on Arthur Road in Mumbai or Yerwada in Pune for starters?
Savy said...
this doewsnt even merit a discussion..being in power capital..it is a real pain to see these gun trotting guys every now n then..a big hindrance. and their coiterie should also be limited.

Navarati and Women
In Navarati we worship Goddess as a source of Sakthi(Power).
Do you think that people take some lessons from this festival?
Abx said...
most of us blindly worship gods n overlook the facts. people will worship but same time r not cocerned to care for women or fellow human beings in general
Frenchita said...
lot of hypocrisy about woman being shakti .. that's only in festivals .. reality is that "might is right " and "survival of the fittest " is what counts ..as has been shown down the ages .. agreed that women have come a long way earning repect and equality . .but if you think of this big bad world ...barring a few civilized countries... .rampant injustice against women prevails..
Tejbir said...
can we come out of classifying either of the sexes as powerful (shakti) etc either in sublime form (worship godesses) or in reality (men bashing up thier wives) a just society thrives on equality and not sublime or muscle power!
Ruggedboyz said...
now i have never ever understood the theory of "waqt aane per aaurat kalli ka roop dharan kar sakti hai” thing coz women are mild and mostly if not for tom boys do not love indulging in voilent acts so really have less clue on this
Lp53 said...
In 'ratri', women are worthy of worship; in 'daylight', men see clearly with eyes wide open!..:P
Niceguy said...
" Haathi ke daant dighane ke aur, aur khane ke aur ". I agree with Tejbir that a just society can thrive on equality only.
Virtualscorpio said...
People take no lessons from any festival, Rather its a matter of convenience. Such a lot was made of India having its FIRST LADY PRESIDENT. Show me one lady whose life has improved cause of this except the lady in question.

Indian Man and Wife
It is said about Indian man that he wants to see his wife as a Sati-Savitri ( not thinking about other person even in a dream).Do you think that he apply the same for himself (not thinking about other woman even in a dream)?
GussaWaala said...
LOL, I am a human first then a man. My mind goes all places, so why shouldn't any other human's mind?
Lp53 said...
Yeh Ander kii baat hei, mat poocch yaaaaaaaar!
Ruggedboyz said...
now i dd think that since u would expect the man and the women the equal rights and stuff so then we should allow them to do same thing with eachother ie if the man is loyal to his wife and doesnt date or think of other women then his demand is a valid one weather he is indian or african but if he himself is an infedel and then expects to see his women as sati savitri he should then be termed a criminal and then treated and retributed like one
Hershey Desai said...
man... I want a woman who is everything BUT a "sati savitri".Though, naturally I wouldn't be too fond of her dreaming of other guys... but then, the power of Hershey is strong enough to make sure that doesn't happen at all.And besides, dream all you want...atleast she sleeps next to you and not the ones who she dreams of
Frenchita said...
Indian man expects his future wife to be pure before marriage .to be loyal ..not to stray .. no such binding on him ..he is a free bird.. to some extent this is true of men all over the world . Ironic ,ain't it ?
Niceguy251 said...
It is a fact though one may say incorrect. However things are changing and men are accepting their would be s to have had an affair or so before marriage. However it is important for both to be loyal after marriage.
Abx said...
why only indian, every person wishes so........ why shen warne's wife seperated....
Tejbir said...
i have a solution for the men who feel threatened by the chance of their wives thinking about other men.... let men start "giving" dowry to girl's parents and then they can demand in return that the women will not think abt other men if the men cant give the dowry, they can't demand this thing and should accept women doing what they themselves do at every traffic signal/resturant/market etc. LOLZZZZZZ
Jojo said...
no, man definitely doesnt apply that to himself - he thinks he has the full right - the birthright actually to do as he pleases and the woman is there just to keep him happy! Most Asain men at least i would say. That is his upbringing and though times are changing now - it is a long and slow process...

Indian Women, Tradition and Career
Women in India is passing through the twilight zone of tradition and modernity. Caught between the home and office, they are engaged in a tough struggle for a viable position in their job.If tradition comes in the way of career, should they ignore it?
Frenchita said...
depends ..if the girls inlaws insist she stay at home and be a housewife ..she should not yield but continue her career if she wants to.... if her small kids need her and the baby sitter is lacking ...she should put her kids ahead of her job everything is possible if she has an understanding huband ..he is the key figure but generally speaking ..i feel a woman should maintain her career ...and be financially independent .and never take crap from her husband and society to hell with tradition ..
GussaWaala said...
People (men/women) need to make a choice of how they wish to live their lives and then they should live it that way. Simple.
VS said...
I suppose there cant be one single - either /or - situation. A lot depends on the location of the woman - metro/city/town/village. Traditions may have little values in big cities like Mumbai & career would be the only thing, yet in a smaller town , say in Bihar, the reverse would be true. Both would be correct in their respective conditions. The next factor, India being a large country, would be the family background, tradition, beliefs etc. as well as those of the family she goes to would matter. Ultimately, the decision should be based on firstly her choice, but also keeping in view the thinking of the family.
Imran said...
This Cant be answered in a sinngle sentence.. 1> maybe if she wants 2 give priority 2 career first and then the family and tradition, then she should talk abt it before the marriage..if they dont want her 2 work..She shud better enjoy being single..rather then having life long problems and unhapiness...kids,husbands,family all suffer..!! its all depends on common sense on both parts...and having thot abt the future rather then going with the heat of the Youthfull dreams... 2>maybe the in-laws would be ready for working women if she works for some years.. no problem here. 3> But please just dont take the west women as inspiration...Our tradition respects women more then them..and being more a "HomeMinister" isnt a bad thing...Why cant we teach this to the world.. Problems are already rife in the western society because of a permissive outlook and so-called freedom. in the name of modernity and equality, Those Women have neither gained liberty nor achieved equality. Rather they are losing their traditional place and responsibilities in the home.Being single or orthodox minded , they might have become the objects of exploitation , and the slogans of liberty and equality have or may virtually reduced them to playful commodities...

Boys want working girls for a bride these days. After office, they manage teh househod too. That wayn women are really empowere: they get career and tradition!
Ellen said...
The question cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. Tradition or career -- this should be settled early before marriage. Deciding that when already in the marriage isn't smart --it would invite more issues, division, or conflict in the home, with the children, or in relation to one's parents or in-laws. There will be no peace.
Shariq said...
IN todays world Money is the top requirement and as relationships are souring to their heights ...every gurl needs to be independent and which requires them to continue with their career after marriage too ...No one knows whts in store in the future ..so she should be prepared for it ...and cuttin off her carreer is a major risk....I SAY SHE SHOULD FIGHT FOR HER CAREER ALONG WITH HER MARRIAGE AND TO HELL WITH TRADITION ....Rest depends on how much she knows her husband ......and the finanical position of inlaws is very very gud ,,..thn she has an option of puttin it offfff
Wise donkee said...
instead of just debating on women and career, lets debate on men and work at home. its time, men got more liberated..
