New Pages: Read & Watch
I’ve just added 2 new pages:
This includes a list of books that I’m reading and wish to read in the future. Most books may be non-fiction because I feel there are very few fiction books worth mentioning on a blog. I may throw in some good names at times though.
This is planned to be a list of documentaries as of now. When I have the time, I like watching documentaries related to the present world – like the genocide at Darfur (Darfur Now), the case for Global Warming (An Inconvenient Truth) – and the past (The Genius of Beethoven), rather than those that speculate the universe and its accompaniments. Its a personal choice.

Buried Alive
I read on India Uncut about this article…
ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani lawmaker defended a decision by southwestern tribesmen to bury five women alive because they wanted to choose their own husbands, telling stunned members of parliament this week to spare him their outrage.
“These are centuries-old traditions and I will continue to defend them,” Israr Ullah Zehri, who represents Baluchistan province, said on Saturday. “Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid.”
The women, three of them teenagers, were shot and then thrown into a ditch. They were still breathing as their bodies were covered with rocks and mud, according to reports, which said their only ‘crime’ was that they wished to marry men of their choosing.
I can’t imagine how a person with such a derailed and backward mind can be elected an MP in Pakistan. And I’d be horrified to find that he gets away scot free.

Define : Idiot (?)
So what if there are thousands of cases waiting to be heard at the courts? So what if there are endless people waiting for justice? Its much more important for the Supreme Court of India to sit and define who an ‘idiot’ is!
The Supreme Court identified just four kinds of people who could be classified mentally unsound — idiots, the very ill, lunatics and drunks.
“An idiot is one who is of non-sane memory from his birth, by a perpetual infirmity, without lucid intervals: and those are said to be idiots who cannot count 20, or tell the days of the week or who do not know their fathers or mothers or the like,” said the judgement by Justices Arijit Pasayat and M K Sharma. They added that it was for the accused to prove they were idiots or otherwise of unsound mind.
What tops the mere definition, is the last line – which indicates that there must be a clear distinction between an idiot and a person of unsound mind. I cant for the love of God understand what the judicial system is thinking – Law itself is complicated, but lets just complicate things further!!
Question to George W. Bush: Who’s your daddy?? Haha..!!
