The art of accusing each other and halting procedures!

Stalled proceedings. Protesting MPs. And a not-so-properly functioning national legislature. Yes, these are the very exact things going in the supreme legislative body of our country, the Parliament. Equivalently in the two Houses, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Whatever happens, the Opposition and the Ruling party, do not seem to go on agreeable terms!

Well, giving it a thought, aren't these Members of Parliament been elected by the people to represent their constituency, with the purpose of striking a chord at the Parliament ? And here they are, stalling the various procedures carried at the Houses and the both the Houses adjourning, not even before the mid-day! This is ridiculous!

The Parliament should be the platform for political debates, and ensure the proper functioning of various things, through proper intensive debates and so on. A debate is essential to get points of view from all sides. But that's not happening presently. All we see every other day is, the procedures stalled mid-way.

And on the other end, with all the media attention that they grab, the political parties have the latest fancied hobby of accusing each other. No matter however big or small the reason be, X or Y wants the Resignation of the concerned authority. Not exactly the concerned authorities, but the Minister who is in-charge of that. (See this one). Now how pleasing is that ? As if, one resignation is going to solve all the problems in the country! Ah !!

Meanwhile, when all this goes on, there are a lot of Bills and Laws in the pipeline, waiting to be passed through the proper channel of discussion in the Parliament. God knows, when all this is going to take place !!

Vicious Circle of Survival of the Fittest

It's one of the famous theories existing in the world. The one part of the evolutionary theory proposed by Charles Darwin, which we all have learnt in school - "Survival of the fittest". Along the years of human evolution, the above said principle has seen to be followed by us as a species. And it is very evident in other species as well. The strong and the healthy ones, survive the competition and progress further in time. The ones who are weak, perish and the cycle repeats for numerous number of times. It might have been repeating for millions of years! Once one-sided, but it returns back! When we reflect on our society, we see the very repercussions of this theory in it. People have been evolving as civilizations along many years, and there have been remarkable changes in our societies as well. But as we should see two sides of everything, there are two sections of people, one which is very well off in their lives, and another section which is not at all so. P...

In the chilling temperature !

Yeh. Had been up early today. There was a task at hand. Had gone to leave my brother for his school trip, and apparently, it didn't get over until about 3 hours later than scheduled time. And in between all these, I was standing in the cold air for all the 3 hours. It was an experience ! With hands in my pockets all the time, shivering at times !! Eeeew !! And here, the nights seem to get chill each and every day.My evening walks are turning to be freezing cold. But still, I hang on. I just can't imagine people in Europe going through the temperatures out there ! It's way down the negative scale !! Hats off to them !

The Trip

It was started off as just another Whatsapp group, but fortunately it ended up as something which materialized into a get-together. With couple of months of planning lead by our very own planning commision head, Mr. S, a trip to Ooty, worked out for the long weekend clubbed with Labor Day. The agenda was clear: A visit to our alma mater, a drive through the valleys of Ooty, and an overnight stay, and then the return day after - and yes, celebrating Mr. A’s homecoming as well. The plan looked simple, but the eagerness towards it wasn’t such. It had been a long time ever since the whole of Troublers (yes! that’s the name of our group), had sat down together, and talked like there wasn’t an end to the world. And The Trip was surely going to be a mark up for that. For me, it happened to be a rush through with missing out on the first day to The Trip. So after the hiccups with the month end closure and between the hurried heartbeats decrypting the excitement into smiles, I boarded t...
