Happy Independence Day

happy independence day guys.......so how did u celebrate the most important day in the history of india?
i remember as a child we used to b so excited the day before.....we used to polish our shoes.....get our school uniforms neat and clean.......and used to b so excited for the flag hosting ceremony in our school.......even now i see the same excitement in children..... but i guess somewhere in between we all have lost all those excitement......and 15th august has just become another day.......infact another holiday in our lives......i guess the edge of knife on which every indian walks everyday might be the reason for this.....and after so much work we get a holiday,so why to waste it. so every one prefers to stay at home enjoying the holiday.......
we might not take part in flag hosting ceremony.....or might not listen to all that useless talk from the prime minister......but we still love our country......we might not sing the national anthem every day but still we get gooseflesh when we hear it............so go guys enjoy but remember even just for a sec. those people who gave up their lives for us.....JAI HIND

Abortion-the correct age

After what happend somedays back, certainly the awareness of public about abortions has increased.there is a view that that the legal age of abortion should be increased to 24 weeks as is the case in britain as their is hardly any signifant increase in risk to the health of pregnant mother whether is done at 20 weeks or 24 weeks.....whereas some feel that the current age is corrrect.

amidst all these we all tend to forget that in medicine u cannt be so dogmatic and strict in your approach.....every disease and its treatment has to b individualised as there nothing which is absolute in medical science....so i believe that we should be more flexible in our approach. Every case is unique one and one cannt apply the same basis for all of them.

what i feel is that the correct age of abortion should be left to the treating doctor.....as he is the best person who knows exactly the condition of the mother and the fetus....and whether the abortion is going to have any harm on the health of the mother.
but then it would require a practise of huge amount of responsibility and ethics on the part of the doctors moreover in country like India where the regulatory bodies are so poor functioning that it would b very difficult to keep track of abortions and the in a country where parents r so son loving that abortion for other reasons would also increase

so in a society like india where corruption is so rampant, medical ethics has reached rock bottom and where parents would do any thing to have a male child....the current legal age is correct

our reservation policy-how fare is it?

thanks to government of india,about 50% seats in all professional courses are reserved for the so called socially backward classes. true they have been socially oppressed and devoid of opportunities for ages......but it also leaves many a question to b addressed to....
first does these reservations really serve their purpose? does it really reaches to the people who actually need them?will reserving seats in reputed colleges will really serve the purpose in the long run?....
im afraid answers to all these questions are no....and only no....if at all it serves any purpose,its is of the power greedy politicians who can go to any extent win votes.....sometimes i even feel that the very purpose of having reservations that is making a caste less society has taken a back seat.....and reverse discrimination has begun.......
but today definations of socially backwards have changed.......now the more political support a caste the more backward it becomes.....atleast as per the demands of increasing their share in reservations......


whatever be the compulsion but arn't we compromising our education system in that,
just read in newspapers that IITs and IIMs are forced to relax their cutoff marks to admit the 'reserved students' and even then they r finding it hard to fulfill the seats........arnt we compromising the reputation of these colleges of excellence built by the faculty and students by years of hardwork, by all these votebank politics

is it fair that person just because he is born with silverspoon(backward caste) can get into these colleges of high repute .

instead of just getting them upperhand why doesnt the government makes the primary education more competitive or provide them enough opportunities so that they stand on an even platform with the 'general' candidates and fight equally for those coveted seats.......i know all of us agree to it even those who r as they say pro-reservation......but then who wants to work hard when u can get away without it....
despite knowing all these we know we can never get away eith reservations as it is easier option both for the government and the so called reserved candidates.

just woke up to read about the blast which shook ahmadabad........day after day these type of terror strikes r becoming to so frequent that mind has stopped reacting to them as it used to do earlier.
now there is just a sense of uncertainity which prevails in the mind.........which city is next........when will our turn come. sometimes i just wonder that is the life of people here is so cheap that whosoever wants them can take it.why just blame the terror strikes...otherwise also people r so living on the edge take this example....a typical indian wakes up in the morning,takes tea or coffee or milk,which contain exess of pesticides and chamicals,takes an overcrowded train for office standing on the stepboard from where he can fall off any moment,if he is lucky and survives and can get down at his destination then the next ordeal is taking a rollercoaster ride to office...where any taxi bus or car can hit u.if u can reach ur office safely thank god and consider yourself to b very lucky but the ordeal is still not over in the evening or late night while returning and passing through narrow lanes someone can give u a fatal blow over your head or might even shoot u...and run away wid ur belongings.....consider your self so very lucky if u could pass all these steps successfully,but u r not done yet,as they say "their are many slips between a cup and lips",u might just fall in some open manhole just inches before reaching ur home.and if u can reach ur home successfully consider it the luckiest day of ur life.but the ordeal is not over yet because again u have to face all these when u wake up next day and u never know wen u might just slip........
