Dec 25, 2009 was the day when I visited the Central Jail in Ahmedabad and met the prisoners and the Officers there. This visit was planned to complete the class project on Jail Bhaijiya Van which is the brainchild of the DIG of Ahmedabad. Early morning we reached the DIG's office though it was a holiday but we were given good attention by the staff in the Control Room and with their suggestion we followed the road towards the Central Jail, the feeling was so good. There we saw many prisoners working as carpenters, working for the construction of the wall. I felt very happy after all this the Government is helping to learn and prove themselves to be of good behaviour and also mainly allowing them to kill their time. Further, after informing the security we went inside and met the IPS who had a small discussion with us and understood our purpose of visiting the Jail. He was so helpful that he called his Deputy Superintendent (DS) and suggested him to help us in any manner they could....

Today when the world is recollecting the memories of the terror attack on Mumbai a year back, still the havoc is live there in everyone’s mind. The natural calamity like earthquake, flood, storm and any other such happenings across the world can be overlooked in front of any attack like this one. Mumbai, may be cause it’s considered as the financial capital of India has been targeted n- number of times which resulted into loss of 100s, 1000s of innocent citizens. From the bomb-blast in 1993 till attacks last year, Mumbai has been the main target of the attackers always. Irrespective of the reasons of the attacks the Financial Capital was the Attackers Capital in most of the attacks in India. Today, Indians are at their rage to step together and beat the heat of the attacks and attackers. It is rightly said if the Government can’t take a step; the citizens step forward to find out their own answers. We salute the soldiers and the officers who have lost their lives in the mayhem on 26/11...

Recently while browsing through the book shelf in library, I came across a book written by Khushwant Singh and after going through the synopsis I immediately got the book issued. It talks about how the protagonist loved being with women throughout his life. From the time he joined college for the entire life he enjoyed the company of women. As the name suggests “The Company of Women” this book speaks about the lust and life of the protagonist; Mohan Kumar. As per his words he says he is not a sex-maniac but I don’t agree with the same as it was clearly shown in the way he lead his life all the time. I wonder how one can be a womanizer throughout his life and sleep with number of women for his pleasure. A quite good lad from a poor family, with excellent education flies off to America with a scholarship to complete his studies. He was welcomed with all the warmth shown by his fellow classmates and in-turn he also gave much to the country in many forms. The very first time he slept with ...

The recent book penned by Chetan Bhagat have made a grand entry in the market and since then I was eager to read the same. Last week only I completed reading this piece of work from his shelf and must say that it gives a light and soothing effect at the end and an insight on the two cultures which are opposite not only in the map but in every aspect of life. The 2 distict cultures North and South ; when meet together creates a beautiful bonding and life becomes as beautiful as a rainbow with all its lovely colors and a dancing peacock with his fully opened wings with his loved ones, gives a feeling as 'Love is in the air'. The story went through certain ups and downs as the life of the protagonist from the day he falls for her and till their marriage day. It is more of the turns, twists and trials they faced to convince their parents for their ultimate bonding. It is more of how the protagonist and his girl friend sees the world out of their communities' rigidness and that...

With the advent of technology, innovations are always there in any medium of communication and knowledge sharing. Since last few years Twitter is hitting the list on the top slot. Couple of days back I and our ED were having a discussion about the popularity of Twitter; and that how it is having a very high valuation; he shared his views that a person can tweet for long hours or read tweets from around 3 hours a day and do nothing. We were astonished on this point that even if the writing bar does not give you the option to write more than a specific number of words but then also it is famous. I do tweet sometime but cannot sit and tweet regularly as some of my friends do, and I believe this in-turn is based on the user’s interest also. Apart from professional information what knowledge I am getting after reading the tweets? But then also it is like a favorite time-pass of people now and if they don’t have anything to do they Tweet or read others tweets. I have not come across any twe...
