Shoe: The new weapon against 'the powerful'

THE JOOTA, (shoe), is not a weapon but has suddenly turned out to be an effective tool to express your wrath, anger and resentment.

Shoes have always been known as a tool for dealing with erring people, pick pockets, eve teasers and roadside goons but who knew that the status of the shoe will rise from an article of humiliation for roadside law breakers and morally degraded people to a weapon against people as elite as George Bush and P Chidambaram?

The Lost Faith

WITH THE passage of time and the advancement of the generation, there has emerged a wide gap between thoughts and the application of thoughts. The way to live, the way to look at things and moreover the faith people repose in each other has now become mere words or phrases that we find in a dictionary . While turning the pages of history,  we notice a lot of differences in people - the people who lived then and the people who live now. The word ‘faith’ has lost its relevance.

As Indian culture evolved over a period of time, the only thing which had held the whole country together was 'faith'.  There were times when people used to periodically check if their counterparts stood by faith .

Book review: ‘No Place to Die’

SUICIDE, BROUGHT about by a bullying psychiatrist and anti-depressants should never happen. Unfortunately it did. Jann McPherson tells of the shortcomings of the mental health system in her newly released book. ‘No Place to Die’ is a penetrating, honest and revealing account of psychiatry written by mother Jann McPherson of her daughter Gretel’s tragic and unnecessary death. Jann refuses to let her daughter’s death be swept under the carpet and she wants to hold accountable those who were responsible, not just for the sake of Gretel but for others too, who died under the same system.

Gretel was 24 years of age, beautiful, intelligent and talented, with everything to live for. She died hanging, after voluntary admission to a Perth psychiatric hospital, from a bed curtain rail after a journey of tragic decline.

Random thoughts of a mad woman

BELOW ARE some of many random thoughts, which keep haunting me, and keep me mesmerised ,they keep me hooked to you .These are all courtesy Khalil Gibran .I remember when Amrita (Pritam) spoke of first melody, first painting , first words . I envy them to have thought and said it before I do. I curse myself for not being the first painting ,the first melody, but I am there, I was there and will always remain…..will always remain ….

You ask me how I became a mad woman. It happened thus: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found all my masks were stolen—the seven masks I have fashioned and worn in seven lives—I ran mask less through the crowded streets shouting, “Thieves, thieves, the cursed thieves.”

Salman-Katrina-Asin love triangle a hoax!

SALMAN KHAN has been haunted for too long. Whether he is unfriendly or friendly to media doesn’t really make any difference. His silence has been misconstrued, time and again.

Gossip mongers have separated him from his long-time girlfriend Katrina and linked him to the latest Bollywood sensation Asin Thottumkal. But even before the silence is broken, one can sense it to be the handiwork of some idle minds.
