| NIGHT O NIGHT | |
|
|
| This piece is dedicated to one the most promising Taras on our Zameen -Vidushi Chaudhry, who loves words and the eternal songs they sing to her soul. Night comes mourning the death of the day and sits brooding over the huddle of the forests and undulating fields. It embraces treacherous mountains and settles on the babbling brooks, it ravishes th...

| IDEAS FOR THE RELUCTANT CHILD WRITER | |
|
|
| I have had so much negative crap in the last two days that I need to heal. And the only way to heal is to give. Let me share with you all something that I had devised recently to help the reluctant child writer. Those of you who have children or know of people who have children, might want to use some of these ideas. This, after all, is who I rea...

| THE NATURE OF THE BEAST OF DEBATING | |
|
|
| Love me or hate me, my blog page is the only one that consistently generates discussions amongst my ilander friends who enjoy a good discussion/debate. I am proud of the fact that these men and women are great thinkers and we share a great comraderie despite our many differences. Difference is often the key to a good discussion, not consensus.

| PRO LIFE OR QUALITY OF LIFE? | |
|
|
| Indian law needs to be amended. We have problems that must not be given a verdict on the rules laid down in 1820. The world we live in is not the same. Technology has progressed at a rapid rate in the last 100 years and each year has add-on dimensions to this that are mind-boggling. For example, we had no surrogate motherhood or test-tube babies t...

| DYNAMICS OF CHATROOM BEHAVIOUR – PART II | |
|
|
| When I introduce the topic ‘Law’ to 8 year olds I often ask them, if there was anything in the world you could do and no one found out and there were no consequences to your actions, what would you do? The answers are often innocently mischievous and sometimes out-of-the-box and amusing. On chat, I find some real answers with real people to that...

| THE VIRTUAL WORLD OF CHAT – PART I | |
|
|
| ‘Second Life’ is a parallel virtual world created on the web where, as expressed in its title, people can have a second life – one in which they play God and choose for themselves identities and personas that have been hitherto only dreamt of or achieved by dint of hard labour or genetic happenstance. The lame can walk and the mute can sing. ...

And the Talwars will witness the brunt of the collective hypocrisy of our media. Suddenly, overflowing tributes will be paid to their stoicism; their tragedy will be highlig...

| WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN ATHEIST | |
|
|
| I never thought I would one day explain my atheism. But here I am gathering my thoughts together to find out what makes me an atheist. To do that, I would first have to define God – that what I believe does not exist - and then give my reasons why I believe God does not exist. After all atheism is just that – the belief that God does not exist. Peo...

| ARRESTING THE LAW | |
|
|
| Crime and law are partners bound by vigorous handcuffs. They are two sides of the same coin – opposites, linked so inextricably, that the boundaries seem to blur and like Orwell’s pig and man one cannot tell which is which. Nowhere is this seamless blending more true than in India where the seats of administration and thereby law are densely occu...

This post was inspired by the Lady Godiva blog posted by my friend hardhitter (hardhitter.rediffiland.com), which set me thinking on the subject of nudity.
