Religious Conversion

The issue of forced religious conversions is back. This time it is from Gujarat. Forcible conversions are already banned in Madhya Pradesh, Orissa and Tamilnadu. I doubt the effectiveness of such law in preventing the conversions.
I personally believe that all religious conversion should be banned. If pundits of all the [...]

Dont give Saddam martyrdom

Unverified reports have been suggesting that Saddam might have been a casualty of the heavy bombardment of Baghdad. Even if US troops kill Saddam, I believe they should never let the word out. The moment the US kills Saddam and makes a big news item of it, he will ensure his place in [...]

World war III in making?

North Korea has started making headlines in the Eastern part of the world. The last thing we need now is a disturbance in that region, which could potentially lead to WWIII. The thought did occur to me, that if I was a North Korean leader, with the only ambition to take over South [...]

Indeed it will be a tough [...]

A war in need

Regime change in Iraq is long overdue. If Tony Blair and Bush had to sideline United Nations for this, so be it. Something that needs to be done, needs to be done. Iraq has been playing truant since the last Gulf war, and the UN has been warning the Iraqi regime. But most importantly UN [...]

New design New beginning

Whenever I change the look of my site, I feel like writing. But then it becomes hardwork to keep up the writing, so I again look to change the look of my site. This time, the design has been entirely by my better-half, and the Movable Type installation and adaptation was done [...]

The missing brick

There used to be a big frog community living in a well. A young frog named sotnas was among them in that well. For him the whole world was this well and there was no world bigger than his well. From childhood he had noticed that there was a brick in the well, which was [...]
