I took this photo of the print of a painting by Monet.
A page to share random musings... an odd butterfly fluttering around.. a rare bloom to talk about... my next trip to plan... and yes, the new maid has joined! A page belonging to an author, a traveller, a compulsive decision maker of late... do keep dropping in to catch up on some gupp-shupp with me and do be prepared to put up with some anaap-shnaap rantings too :D

'Rich, poor and the jail' by K.J.S.Chatrath
50 years back, a learned Professor teaching us Law used to say 'Anticipatory bail for the rich and anticipatory jail for the poor.'
50 years later, look at this cartoon from The New Yorker, June 22, 2015. Do you discern any change in the position world wide?

'India Will Be Most Populous Country Sooner Than Thought, U.N. Says (news)'- Beware of the trap by K.J.S.Chatrath
Let us not slacken or fall into the trap of considering over population as a ‘population dividend’ and slacken.
Growing over populations is perhaps the most serious issue facing India today.
Stop producing kids!

Historical record of slavery comes from whites
While reading the review of a new book on slavery, ‘Revolution Without Borders: The Call to Liberty in the Atlantic World’ by Janet Polasky (Yale University Press) I came across a sentence which made me think about our ignorance of the real slavery. It says, “Slaves were not literate- the only ones in Guyana who could read and write was executed in 1796- so the historical record comes down from whites.”
This book describes the effect of revolution on the slaves and free men and women in the Americas and the Caribbean.
