Where else will this happen!!!!

The Jaya TV’s news report “கலைஞரின் கைமாறு “ about the connections between Nalini, the main accused in Rajiv Gandhi Assassination and DMK leader was a gud job by the reporters. Leaving behind the political factors the fact that made me write this blog- Nalini.

May 21st 1991[My parent’s wedding Anniversary]; the day dawned with news reporting about cruel death of Rajiv Gandhi. The LTTE’s first trial to kill our Prime Minister at Airport failed and Thenmuli Rajaratnam A.K.A Dhanu the suicide bomber succeeded to accomplish that in Chennai. Nalini and Murugan were at Chennai to get information about the movements and the plans.

When the Jain’s commission submitted the report, all the 26 accused, including five women, have been sentenced to death in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case. Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act court Special Judge V Navaneetham also held the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam and its supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran responsible for the assassination. The judgement was appreciated by many Indians. I read about the judgement and about breaking the pen in conformity with court tradition involving death sentence. I was happy atleast for once we were able to provide the right judgement.

But the politicians [read: Sonya Gandhi] just to gain the sympathy agreed with the mercy petition of Nalini. Mercy should have a meaning. The Prime Minister of our country was assassinated by rebels of another country and here we stand speaking about democracy and being kind to the accused. It was India’s pride and stand that was brought to grounds. Nalini, the main accused in the assassination case is enjoying the prison life. A person responsible for death of the most dynamic, charismatic young prime minister should be hanged. Gandhi’an policy would have worked well but that was before independence and now the only way to stop such cruel action was to go with the punishment.

The mercy petition should not have been accepted as no mercy is required for the people who assassinated our PM. Now Nalini enjoying the prison life and attending marriages in parole and her daughter gets the best education that the state can give. Where else will such things happen other than in India??????

I agree with Jagan-Mohini (Janani)... also, itz setting a bad example and kinda an encouraging factor for terrorists... For this particular instance, I wish Selvi Jayalatitha wud hav been d PM and had taken d decision considering her actions towards Vaiko for jus speaking in support of LTTE...

btw, Janani, situation is detoriating in Sri Lanka again... so u better take care of not publishing ur contact details when posting sthg against LTTE, my frd...lolz

Good One... But on the contrary I feel that this is really the kind of self punishment which is been inflicted upon.. If you analyze the cause and the effect you will notice that India heeded to sending the forces to suppress LTTE whereas it should have shut its mouth and attended to its own problems. In the similar pattern, wats happng to USA is the same.. So if u r a nosey parker then you are bound to start a self inflicting punishment.

To prioritize or Not to; thats the question

A professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes”. The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. “ Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that t

Freedom at Midnight

Till date I never read a book consecutively twice. But I had to; in this case. When I completed reading the book first time I was too lost in facts to miss the emotions. I felt hatred, devotion, anger and a confused feeling towards British, Indian Leaders, Mohammed Ali Jinnah and Gandhi in that order. I was surprised how little I knew about my mother land. The Empire was 'heavy with gold, black with industrial soot, and red with the blood of conquest.' Collins and Lapierre open the book on New Year's Day, 1947 -- London awakes to filth of its own country. The reader is taken on a journey of significant events that lead to the independence of India. On the way you will be introduced to many brilliant characters that shaped the history of India and have left a mark that is still evident. The authors’ attempt to justify everything done by the British Indian Empire by concealing the atrocities brought about by them during their so-called Raj in India. Collins and Lapierre skip

Malayalam-too tough

Aahaaaa…..Finally got something to post about. Was suffering from writer’s block... he.. hee.he. Spent a few days at my granny’s place with net access denied and got back home just this weekend. Now when I am back to blogsville something has taken back my writing skills. Thought too much about what to post and my mom could see a smoke coming through my ears. Now getting back to topic. Since I had no special work to carry on I was ransacking my shelves to find some good old books to read. My hands fell on a book and it was my Malayalam book. When my exams got over I was bent on making mom help me learn Malayalam. That turned out to be a disaster. Though I am a malayalee, being born and brought up in Chennai is the only reason I can’t read and write my mother tongue. That’s a shame. I wanted to learn before I reach trivandrum for my training at TCS. So with the same vigor I bought a book to help me, since mom had certain confusion with new version and started learning the alphabets. Afte
