flaws

I am done with my first trimester in college......have 5 more to go.
The exams were pretty ok.....though the paper timings sucked bigtime. The fundamental reason of making students take the exams is to check their proficiency in mugging stuff after having done nothing in the preceding 3 months.

Then one would argue, why.....for the love of god, why would they want us to take the paper at 2 in the afternoon, when there has been a Nobel price in Economics given for study on " Post Lunch Inefficiency". Don't ask me which year.

And to top it all, we have air conditioned classrooms. The entire concept is flawed. But then what isn't in India.

They have been talking about the death penalty meted out to Afzal Guru. Personally i think that a death penalty in this case would not act as a deterrent, infact it might result in a park being named in his name or worse his statue might be erected, a reminder to his undiluted love for his cause. But the hardliners might not favour a verdict less than a death penalty.

Rahul Bose, on the other hand, argued on a Television show that human beings cannot confer the death penalty as it was god who gave us life and he alone has the right to take it away. Well, one should just check with Mr. Bose if he is for legalisation of Abortion or against it. I guess he prefers the former.

The human rights chaps, with their pseudo job profiles, are creating a ruckus for all the wrong reasons. I do agree about the clemency part, but not from the humanistic point of view.

Had such kind of an act taken place in an Arab country, under the Shariat law this would have been an open and shut case, then why are people asking from leniency here.

Uniform Civil Code anyone?
