Abortion reforms divide Ireland - Features - Al Jazeera English

Should a woman be denied an abortion even when her life is in danger?  The Irish government says so. It also says that abortion shouldn't be done even when a woman is pregnant  because of rape. How do one justify this. It's like rubbing salt one the wound. Just go through the article below.....

Should dance bars be legal?

           




           As supreme court overturned the ban on the dance bars in Mumbai, the debate is ON,  Are dance bars harmful for moral values??
       Can Mumbai citizens withstand the fact that their youngsters are squandering money over the bar girls?? It may be arguable, but, what is the harm caused by the dance bars when the red light  areas in the city are full of colours. The ban proved to be pernicious to many citizens who were dependent on that business for their livelihood. In most of the cases, the victims were young woman who had to do the job because of their miserable economic conditions. Most of them are sole earners in their respective families. So, the bar girls are the ones most prone to the deleterious effects of the ban. Many have turned into CSW( commercial sex workers). And others were victims of human trafficking to Gulf countries like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain Muscat which were experiencing rise in demand for the Bollywood item numbers. But the abrogation of the ban is a result of the failure of Government in accomplishing the rehabilitation process for the victims.
         
      This decision may be a relief for many, But it certainly challenges and attenuates the ethical and moral balance of the society.

    Are we heading towards legalization of prostitution?

And the Mountains Echoed : Review





You can’t just ignore it once you start. The cover page tells you the entire story but, it’s difficult to infer at the first glance. Once you open it, you will find the start as watching a 3D Disney movie with divs and jins. But once you start flowing in the emotions of Yaqub for his son Qais you can’t put it down. Till the end of fairy tale you know what is going to follow in the rest of the story.
            As always, character mapping by Hosseini is as real as it can ever be. The bond between Abdullah and her little sister Pari is heart-warming. First 130 and the last 60 gives you the lead story, the rest is filled with many short little stories of after-math of Afghan war. Particularly the story of Roshi and Idris may just break your heart. It’s one of those stories which leave your heart ground with multiple emotions of joy melancholy sympathy and humanism.
                      If you have read A Thousand Splendid Suns then this one is a must read for you. If you put your heart {rather than brain} to read, you will love most of its short stories and characters and hate as many of them. A finger must be cut to save the Hand.

RESERVATION IN INDIA


Since its inception in India, reservation received a mixed response. These days it is even criticized. The controversy begins here. When started, it was a  requisite for the well-being of the society. People belonging to the backward sections were then treated as slaves to say the least. They lived the most miserable lives that one could ever imagine.  They were like  puppets in the hands of the rich or higher community people. They  were not in a condition to live a desired life of their own.Such was their pathetic condition. But the reservation system has completely changed the situation(probably). They have been given equal  if not more opportunities  along with  the people of higher sections(so called). Now they are able to live their desired lives. But, these days reservation is turning out be a curse to ones who are not eligible for it. It's  necessary to give them the scholarships and all regarding education so as to make it sure that those who are economically weak could fulfil their dream of pursuing education. The prevailing question is, to pursue higher education, students from so called backward sections just need 60 to 75 percent in their previous academics  where as the students who doesn't come under reservation categories need over 90 percent(in most of the cases). Can this be judged fair? When they are provided with the necessary education, is it necessary to give relaxation in marks or percentage required? It's become likely impossible for a non-reservation student to get a government job. And we have our POLITICIANS to add to the woes. They are the ones responsible for this(may be). They tried to increase their vote bank by giving all the incentives possible to the backward and under-represented  communities which gave rise to the present controversy.If this continues in the same manner, may be in the near future, the so called higher communities  might find themselves badly in  need of these reservations.

Comprehension Challenge 1

Can you comprehend the case mentioned in the following para?

         "Once a great giant sprang up out of the sea and lived on an island all by himself. On looking around he discovered a little girl on another small island near by. He thought the little girl could be useful to him in many ways so he determined to make her subservient to his will. He commanded her, but she refused to obey, then he resorted to very harsh measures with the little girl, but she still remained obstinate and obdurate. He continued to oppress her until finally she rebelled and became as a thorn in his side to prick him for his evil attitude towards her;"

DEPLORABLE REVIEW SYSTEM(DRS)




Many cricket pundits along with the Indian cricket team have demurred the use the DRS since it's inauguration. They have been reiterating all the way that a technology which isn't 100 percent correct should not be used until it proves to be infallible. But the ICC had different ideas. It made the use of DRS indispensable in all the ICC tournaments.Now it's proving to be an object of ridicule. The recently concluded test match between the Aussies and  England is a good example to show that DRS has been a failure. The reviews of Trott, Broad ,Haddin have all become controversial. The decision on Broad in particular has given respite to England and allowed them pile on their lead which brought a huge difference to the outcome of the match. Trott's case even sounds farcical. '' The hotspot was busy in showing the replay of the previous ball and was unable to record the ball Trott got out. ''  Coming to Haddin's case, even though they opted for the review, the fielding team didn't look all that convinced. If there weren't two reviews remaining and had the match not been in its final stage, one could say that they wouldn't have opted for the review. The evidence was also not so lucid. There was only a very faint spot visible on the hotspot replay and snickometer wasn't all that convincing either. There might be cases where DRS proved useful, but there  are cases where it failed utterly and became controversial. Also, the use of DRS is limited. Instead of using such an unreliable source, it's better to go with the Umpires. If necessary the Third and fourth umpires can be given additional powers. If there is someone who is happy with all these proceedings,  it's the BCCI. All these are in favour of  BCCI to vociferate against the DRS. The most powerful cricket board will make sure that it makes full use of the situation.On the other hand  Immediate steps must be taken by the ICC to overcome the trouble and make sure that the technology used is impeccable before it is stamped ''drossy.''

Education for The Poor in India





            One of the biggest problem India has been facing since independence is poverty.and the best way to uplift life standard is Education for poor people. The statistics are threatening in this regards. We would have never given a thought to this issue but still millions of children have never had an school in their life.
              Its true that GOI has taken steps to increase literacy in rural areas(sakshar bharat mission, School chalen hum, etc) but these schemes have failed miserably in most of the areas, either blame corruption or carelessness of government authorities but those innocent kids have their right to Education.
             Many NGO's are working towards achieving this goal , "Teach for India" is one such amazing scheme. As India's power lies in its strong Youth population, more has to be done by these enthusiastic revolters of nation who dream a superpower and socially balanced India ahead.

Please put your views on the issue with your awareness and Ideas.

Life without Google...!!!

Can you Imagine a day without google..!

Seriously just have a try, you can do many things over Internet Except

1. Google Chrome

         I know you never wanted it but you have got a chance to test the infinite capabilities of Internet Explorer from Microsoft (remember when you used it last time )

2. Android

         I didn't mean you should through your phones into garbage but still give it a shot. Imagine those Symbian ruled days, When an N73 was the greatest possession one could have.

3. G-Mail

          This one might not be a burden if you are not a professional. Or if you already hate that list of LONG messages packed with spam. But don't you need your ID to log-into Facebook? 

4. Search

           Its time to shut down human operating systems without Google Search. Who would remember all the names of fabulous web-sites we stumble upon or who would complete college presentations and project report. If you are brave enough you can try Bing or Yahoo. Yes they are search engines too.

5. Youtube

           Can you Imagine....!!!
           Cant see Sachin's Elegant straight drives
6. G-Maps
           Get Lost...!!!

  Whatever you do but you cant escape now, Google knows all your secrets, all your wishes (Those annoying Ads appearing on your screen are your desires only) After spending so much time building your virtual self on Facebook you cant change your Log in ID. We are dependent on google for almost every thing we do on Internet.

Do you have some alternatives to Google in your mind?

I heard Chinese people doesn't use Google, Is it true?
