Verrry interesting!!!!

We all know that 14th of February is Valentine's Day. In other words, it's Lovers' Day. We also know that 14th of November is Children's Day. 

But I dont know how many of you have realized this earlier that the time period between these two celebrated days is nine months (please pardon me if I have woken up too late....sincere apologies to not have noticed this simple thing for so long).

So, my question here is whether the gestation period for human beings is what it is now, by the Almighty's wishes or it has got something to do with the solar calendar.

P.S.
So, if we put in a lot of 'effort' on 14th Feb, we can prepare ourselves for a party every year on 14th Nov. What say you...:P :P

Honour killing...

Never been a term more apt for an act so gruesome, so laced with ill logic, so designed by hot-headedness, so motivated by shallow thinking and so criminal.

The act is carried out supposedly to preserve the sanctity of the family in particular and the community at large. However, the act only manages to rip off in an instant, the honour right from its roots which had set in that particular community over ages.

This heinous act of killing the young people is solicited and provoked by the ‘khap’ panchayat and is carried out by the people (from inside or outside the concerned families), who for some totally unknown reason, have bestowed upon them the right and duty to safeguard the dignity of the community. These members of the panchayat and also the people involved in this bloody madness show extreme sincerity, dedication and enthusiasm towards carrying out this barbaric act. If only they had shown such an attitude towards learning to open up their minds and at least try to reason out the step taken by the young couple.

The panchayat is in no mood to change its stand regarding this issue. They will never take a step backward because they fear they might lose their tight grip over the people of their creed. They have ruled their people with a so-called iron fist and they have all the plans to do so even in future, in their own ways and manners.

They are making a mockery of the law of this country. They are taking the law of the land in their own hands and throwing it to the gallows. The honourable Supreme Court should condemn this act with firmness and should direct the concerned people in public service to take control of the situation immediately mightily.

We should act without further ado before it’s so late that the law of the land loses its own honour as well in the eyes of the people.
