High courts should be last forum of appeal in most cases, says SC

So here it is again....... the ever increasing woes of Supreme Court of India. Can anyone answer this - Is the justice granted to an individual lesser than a group? Is the justice granted to a wealthy is greater than given to one who is living just hand to mouth? Is the justice given to dead person more of importance than a living person? Is a crminal justice more important than a civil one? Underlining it all -- Does the importance of justice differ from case to case??

NO... the answer is NO and can never be Yes.

The judicial system in any state is set up for one purpose - to uphold the rights of an individual or a group of individuals. Then how can one question anyone's right not to seek highest justice?

The need of the hour is not to disallow certain kind of cases to be brought to Supreme court. The emphasis should be on speedy and just trials. We do not have clogs in the SC's register coz some UNNECESSARY cases are brought to it. But we have it coz nobody bothers to clear it. We do not have efficient and fair judiciary system right from lower level courts to SC. How do we even expect to escape the side effects of allowing an inefficient system to run? And Do we deserve to blame the no of case? No.. we are responsible for this mess collectively and will have to take some measures to improve it... And teh first step is to improve ourselves.

SAMJHAUTA EXPRESS..???

Yet again... another blast that shook the believes of thousands, if not million. Isnt it an irony that the very vehicle of cordiality is now a bone of contention. Whatever Indian or Pakistani Government say, they are equally responsible for the hundreds of innocents losing their life when all they expected was a tearful union.. what a union it was.

I have lost my stomach to condemn any more blasts -- they have all the same gory ends. How much blood and tears will it take to drown these ulterior motives? I am so disillusioned now as to answer this - Not even the blood and tears of the whole world wud suffice. The people who fight in the name of region, religion or even atrocities upon them and their families( assuming all terrorists are made by circumstances- which is not true anyways) , have they gone blind? Cant they see that if a person suffer, its they who are wronged at the end.. not the ones who suffer. By causing misery to one person they are infact making hundreds others against them. Why cant we just be peaceful.... without turning against each other and in turn against our nature human inclination to love all?

At this moment, i am feeling all the grief that people all over the world have felt.. the terror they have hidden inside themselves .. of being dead any moment by any terrorist attack...

I am here saying to the insatiable urge of blood... inside the so called Terrorists.... U WIN.. LETS JUST GRANT US PEACE NOW...... Its not my defeat i am admitting.. its urs... If u think u can win by force... u have no right to think.. as u cant. U can kill people but how will u kill the indominable spirit of mankind... be it a Hindu, a muslim, a christian, a jew, a sikh.... just a single person alive who is a man of reason and justice.

Let us all LIVE.......

To Be or not to Be

I came across this line in BOLD at the place i love most to be, my teacher's place. Batul Da's Place. It has somehow remained always with me after the moment i had set my eyes on the frowning expression of a cute baby... with the perennial question. I always asked myself.. to be or not to be.... a question that is fathomless. In times of doubts, when i am faced with a choice.. any kind of for that matter, i question my being. I is so important , we hardly ever realize.
Just sitting here and thinking about I.. an entity.. a soul.. a love.... a being.. One life.

Richard Bach's Quotes

I am reading Richard Bach again.... my love for flight since i was an adoloscent has brought me here to post few of my favourite quotes by my favourite author... for all to see and experience their own flight.

You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self.

Don't turn away from possible futures before you're certain
you don't have anything to learn from them.

You're always free to change your mind
and choose a different future, or a different past.

A cloud does not know why it moves in just such a direction and at such a speed, it feels an impulsion....this is the place to go now.

The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly.
Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly.


- from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"




For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating.
For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight.


- from "Jonathan Livingston Seagull"




If our friendship depends on things like space and time, then when we finally overcome space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?

The gulls who scorn perfection for the sake of travel go nowhere, slowly. Those who put aside travel for the sake of perfection go anywhere, instantly.

- from "Nothing By Chance"

Another piece of artistry

Yes, i call writing as artistry.... I am not a great artist neither have the capacity to judge one, but i surely recognize any kind of art...
Art in its all forms in nothing but an expression of a whole. When one paints, a part of him/her comes on canvas... when one writes, the unspoken words float and are no more destined to be unheard.
Cheers to the sublime....to us human for having the capability of expression...
