This post is a commentary on a History channel documentary that predicts the world will end on 21st December 2012. Do watch the clips over You Tube to understand what I'm talking about.

LetsDiscuss: L.K. Advani's Speech on Terrorism

An Excerpt: "The subject of this seminar is highly topical. Over-familiarity with a problem sometimes lulls one’s awareness about its seriousness. Therefore, it may surprise many to know that the problem of terrorism has persisted for nearly half the period of the life of independent India. Since the closing yeas of the 1970s, India has been in the vortex of foreign-sponsored terrorism, which has claimed nearly 80,000 lives, both civilian and of security forces — in Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, North-Eastern states and in the rest of India. There is no country in the world which has been a victim of terrorist onslaught for so long, and which has suffered such enormous loss. "

Masti: A short poem on smiles

A poem dedicated to the art of smiling. An excerpt: "Without smiles, thou beauty remains hidden, Like flowers unblossomed. Without smiles, the rich are a petty sight, Like peacocks without tail feathers. Without smiles, the students look, Like adults, a miserable people."

LetsDiscuss: The struggle against terrorism

A post on struggle against terrorism, by Kiran Sasikumar. "The need of the hour is not a blinkered, parochial propagation of anachronistic ideas. The War Against Terrorism has not worked and it would be difficult to not see it as Vote-Bank Politics. We need thus, a more proactive and pragmatic solution."
