‘Remember that what’s right isn’t always popular… and what’s popular isn’t always right."

A truth of Life Insight into Decision Making - A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way? Let’s take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make…….. ……… and then scroll down for the details. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess.

Socha ko marna ki jarurat hai

They rape her in Delhi, they send her to Singapore to get killed,  then the PM comes and says that he ain't gonna celebrate New Year due to compassion, the media says that her organs are all failing, the culprits order their Biriyanis , the judges don't know whether they are fastrack or not, the public don't know what to do cause protesting and candle lighting have been diverted to a constables death. Anna Hazare and Kejriwal are missing as usual along with Raj thackeray during a crisis. People are still watching the cricket match as Dabanng 2 isset to make 200 crores. It's another day in Paradise. Oh , in the meanwhile 16 other rapes have been reported, 5 in delhi as well. As usual nobody cares. Women you have no hope for safety in this country. Save yourselves if you can. Its up to you to make sure It is gonna be a Happy New Year after all  @abhijat

Last weekend, a dishevelled, bare-chested man was almost done to death in Chennai. Police and scores of bystanders watched the young man being beaten unconscious. A few even cheered and egged on the mob. Barely three days before this incident the city witnessed the killing of five men, allegedly involve in a recent spate of bank robberies in the city, in a daring mid-night ‘encounter' with the police. The two incidents, close on the heels of each other, had one commonality—the ‘north Indian' factor. An eyewitness to the lynching told reporters “the mob was screaming north Indian thief” as they “thrashed him” and dragged his unconscious body to the main road. The apparent ‘burglar from north India' finally turned out to be one Venkat Rao from Andhra Pradesh. So who are t...
