Just Like That!
There are many a time in life when one feels doing something which can not be explained by any logic or is incomprehensible to people around us. Right from the trivial thing like eating an ice-cream during cold to flirting when your better half is around or going for a cross-country treasure hunt when doctor has advised few days of rest for your straining ankle. Is some hormones working out here or is it pure thrill of basking in glory which one associates with these challenges. It can't be anarchy for what one feels like doing is more or less harmless to society as a whole.
The three examples provided are from my personal experience, and am sure there are are million more out there. Also share the plausible cause for this phenomena known as JUST LIKE THAT.
P.S.>This post was created without any sense whatsoever, and just like that.

Jan Lokpal Bill
A look at the salient features of Jan Lokpal Bill:
1. An institution called LOKPAL at the centre and LOKAYUKTA in each state will be set up
2. Like Supreme Court and Election Commission, they will be completely independent of the governments. No minister or bureaucrat will be able to influence their investigations.
3. Cases against corrupt people will not linger on for years anymore: Investigations in any case will have to be completed in one year. Trial should be completed in next one year so that the corrupt politician, officer or judge is sent to jail within two years.
4. The loss that a corrupt person caused to the government will be recovered at the time of conviction.
5. How will it help a common citizen: If any work of any citizen is not done in prescribed time in any government office, Lokpal will impose financial penalty on guilty officers, which will be given as compensation to the complainant.
6. So, you could approach Lokpal if your ration card or passport or voter card is not being made or if police is not registering your case or any other work is not being done in prescribed time. Lokpal will have to get it done in a month's time. You could also report any case of corruption to Lokpal like ration being siphoned off, poor quality roads been constructed or panchayat funds being siphoned off. Lokpal will have to complete its investigations in a year, trial will be over in next one year and the guilty will go to jail within two years.
7. But won't the government appoint corrupt and weak people as Lokpal members? That won't be possible because its members will be selected by judges, citizens and constitutional authorities and not by politicians, through a completely transparent and participatory process.
8. What if some officer in Lokpal becomes corrupt? The entire functioning of Lokpal/ Lokayukta will be completely transparent. Any complaint against any officer of Lokpal shall be investigated and the officer dismissed within two months.
9. What will happen to existing anti-corruption agencies? CVC, departmental vigilance and anti-corruption branch of CBI will be merged into Lokpal. Lokpal will have complete powers and machinery to independently investigate and prosecute any officer, judge or politician.
10. It will be the duty of the Lokpal to provide protection to those who are being victimized for raising their voice against corruption.

Random..
Why does one feel so lonely and aloof at times even when you have everyone around? At one moment you are alright and then somebody will make that statement or you will remember something or even without 'anything' happening you feel a vacuum around. May be this has something to do with a sudden realization of our individuality. Nobody cares for us, nobody loves us, everything is an illusion, all of us will rot are the random thoughts at that moment...
But then this ain't that much negative. During such epochs we analyse the world and people around us without any prejudices and the myopic vision of the world seems to be more clear.
Anyways such times will keep coming and all one needs to 'return' to 'original' self is a sight of a kid with her ever-present smile..

Forward CaSTE? wHY?
Certain Indian states has forward Castes population of more than 50% or close to 50%. In some of these states,no.of forward Castes admitted in educational institutions will be much less than their population even if they secure 100% seats in open competition.
Reservation..Nita J. Kulakarni..
Following text is from famous blog nitawriter.wordpress.com.....
Interestingly, I got a comment from someone which said something to the effect that I am blogging in English because my ancestors oppressed the backward classes (I am a Brahmin). Ofcourse I do not publish any comments which are against any community (even if the community in question is Brahmin) and therefore did not publish the comment. Also he said that blacks in America have 50 percent reservation, which I know is untrue. I do not publish such twisting of facts.
This comment made me realise that there are people who want to take revenge on the upper castes and their weapon is – reservation. That is why they want the rich OBC’s to be part of the reservation system.
Well, horrible things have happened in the name of caste, and some things still happen, but certainly I don’t hold myself responsible. I never see people in terms of their caste.
Nor do I hold my great-grandfather resposible, a hard working sincere man who believed in womens rights, a poor school master who came up the hard way.
Only sick twisted minds hate whole communities and frankly I know it is pointless to argue with them.
I am absolutely against taking revenge for historical wrongs. If we go by that criteria, this whole world will become a madhouse.
Today, let us focus on helping poor people – not rich kids who have access to the internet, and are greedy for reservations..

Reservation Problem..A Comment
The government is apparently going to take ‘constitutional and legal’ measures to fix this problem. I wonder what measures they plan to take? Any rational man, even if he has sympathy for the poor cannot think of caste based quotas as a fair solution. The reservations apply to caste only, not poor disadvantaged people. If there is to be reservation in this country, why can’t it be for those who are poor and disadvantaged, be they Christians, Hindus or Muslims? Right now these so-called caste based reservations which include even rich people, are biased in favour of the Hindus. Even rich Hindus can take advantage of it. Totally senseless.
