Facebook birthdays ...whew!!

if you have around 600 friends added on facebook, chances are high that on an average there are 40 birthdays per month. But are all these important enough to wish? Would you really remember all these had there been no Facebook?

I would rather like to remember birthday of people who matter & not the whole world....

What are facts?

Facts are as quoted from a record, from a page in history. Then  facts are based on the records that someone might have made. A generic bias is likely to creep in given any person's mental thinking, background and abilities. Also since history favors the winner, may not record complete, unedited facts. So facts are actually perspectives of  people who make a note of it. Thus facts could infact be perceptions because in reality we see more as per our perceptions, not according to unbiased, complete truth. Truth becomes what we perceive to be true. Then what is the difference between fact, real, truth from anything that is not a part of it.

Of fasting godmen, iPads in jails, farmer suicides and other such scams!

Just because a credible personality fasts for anti corruption bill, every Tom, Dick and Harry thinks he can fast, get media attention and the whole country will sway for his cause.
Get a credibility check done before fasting! Either govt will throw tear gas on your narrow set of population covered or you will die of fasting. Even if you die of fasting, the cause will be drowned out in the cacophony of political parties accusing each other of your death rather than discussing the issue.
iPads allowed in Tihar jail to read the charge sheet. Seriously, what a judicial system we have in place that let's a mass murderer terrorist live peacefully for years, that lets 2G scam accused use all the luxuries available. All this as farmers continue to die in misery and poverty. India surely doesn't portray a pretty picture of democracy when the whole of Middle East and Africa look up to the largest democracy. They want to be a democracy just like India and get a 8% GDP growth, but does India have enough power to guide or make alliances?! O.o!?

Or should democracy evolve? Why do we have to live by the Constitution that is as old as archaic English? Shouldn't it evolve every 50 - 70 years? Shouldn't the government and people decide that failed areas of democracy need more accountability by qualified meritorious who should not live under fear of political clouts and industry's heavy weights? Why should there be 100% democracy in states that have failed over and over again? Ain't people born in those states punished by not getting facilities and opportunities? (cont- )
