The Governments, schools, universities and almost 100% people believe that when a punishment for a crime is reported in the media, it deters others from committing crime. All legal systems are based on this premise. Be it the ‘Retribution theory’ or ‘Reformation theory’ – all aim at the larger goal of preventing members of the […]

The Real Terrorists
We the Hindus wrongly accuse and suspect the followers of Muslim faith to be radical. We concluded that being a Muslim is equivalent to being a terrorist. Are Muslims radical? Are they terrorists? Let me examine in Indian context. 30 th January 1948 is the day when the Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated by a Hindu […]
THE FOUNTAIN PEN
Recently I purchased a CLICK fountain pen. It is a very traditional screw close fountain pen with a big nib in red color. I did feel that the cost of the pen is on the higher side. But considering that there are actually very few people who love to write with a fountain pen – […]
