DHARMAPUTRA GETS CRAZY

Today on the day of Dushera when I passed an effigy of Ravana I wondered, "Was this guy really such a badass that people have to burn him every year? Was the nuisance he created this bad that he has to suffer year after year? What kind of justice is that"? Last time I heard a person got 2 consecutive life sentences for killing 11 people.  Going back into the era of Ramayana, Ravana kidnapped Sita. But, we also know Sita was beautiful. People eve-tease and stalk everyday. However, when he took her to Lanka he did no harm to her. In fact, he kept her safe at Ashok Vakita. He never harmed her apart from keeping her away from her lover. This is no crime, families do it all the day these days. So, how bad is Ravana as compared to today's men? I think todays' men are in a worst state than he was and the kind of mockery his he subjected too is too much. Compared to a time now when a man rapes a girl, teases her, stalks her, throws acid on her face, molests her,  a

I can't recall Public figures, apart from someone whom I love the most. Also, I used to be a small town boy until I moved to Delhi, back in 2013, with no prior experience of Flight or ever meeting a real-life celebrity (apart from few politicians). In the same year, my elder brother got admitted in JGLS. He was crazy about photography back then. Many college students must have heard about Channel V fest. In 2014, it was sponsored by Nokia. Long story short, my brother won it and he got a brand new Nokia Lumia 1020 with a trip to Goa for two days. So, all of a sudden on 4th of Feb he called me and said, "you are coming to Goa with me".  First thing which I said was, "Stop messing with me" He said, " I won a competition and they are offering all paid trip to Goa and you will get to board a flight". All I could say now was "okay". So, the day of awesomeness arrived, it was the 7th of Feb, the day of my first flight. We reached IGI airport early

For Capitalism as a system to thrive needs a proper transition. Here, we are divided on the basis of systems. Both Feudalism and capitalism are prevailing simultaneously at the same time. This is proving to be the biggest hurdle which we are d facing. Talking about labour, Capitalism needs discipline whereas we have a feudal work ethos where Leisure is given more value than work. Also, as there had been no actual transformation (on its own) this imposed Capitalism seems alien to our people. According to me, it is doing more harm than good. Consider this, Jharkhand is a poor state and the mere presence of Big corporate houses is giving an incentive for the people to update their lifestyle to a certain standard and for maintaining that lifestyle they are actually selling their lands for getting few branded shirts, jeans and bikes. This would not have been there when there would have been a formal transition. To sum it up, all I would say is Europe earned Capitalist society and for us

The union of a man and a woman, recognised by the society or ceremony is as old as the human civilization itself and marriage of any kind is seen in all the human societies. But, over time the marriage has taken different forms and has evolved as a living being right from its basic meaning for its purpose. Throughout the globe, there are many forms of marriage that are still prevalent in the society, but in this particular work my focus will be the gradual shift in the perception of marriage, from producing an heir to the era of love marriage. For this, I will use Marx's Theory of Social Evolution and then I will put emphasis on the kind of marriage which was prevalent in the period.             Marx's Theory of Social Formation divides the human society into 5 stages, These are the stages which human society has passed or will see in the future. These stages are basically based on the Production Relations (ownership of the resource) and Social Productive Forces (M

Few days ago the Governor of RBI made a startling statement when he encountered a question by the journalist he said, " I don't know what you want to call me... Santa Claus... you want to call me a hawk, I don't know. I don't go by this. My name is Raghuram Rajan and I do what I do. " This statement further solidified his claims for the most stringent Monetary policy this country has even seen. Over the past few months, Mr. Raghuram Rajan was able not only to curb inflation to a record low but also he was ahead of his stipulated time. Moreover, he came out to be a strong Central Banker in this regard. He delivered what he said when he first came to office two years ago. Although, there are some major changes in the way we look at Inflation now, i.e, Changing of the measure of Inflation from WPI to CPI marked an early success story yet the menace of inflation is all the same. Further, with the slightest cooperation from the central government he managed
