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

'68 more kids died in Gorakhpur Hospital during last 4 days' - Shame on us all.....by K.J.S.Chatrath
Take a look at today's (23rd October 2017) Times of India. Notice a small heading in red ink on the left hand side.
It says:
"68 kids die at BRD in 4 days: At least 68 children have died at BRD Medical College in Gorakhpur in four days. Of these, 42 deaths took place in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and 24 in the paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)...."
Shame on us all!

'Thus spake the 1/2 Nobel Prize awardee... ...' - by K.J.S.Chatrath
"Together we must break the shackles of Silence.
Society needs a moral resurgence where child safety emotionally binds us and defines political agenda in India..."
Thus spake the 1/2 Nobel Prize awardee Mr. Kailash Satyarthi while on a 35 day 'Padyatra'. (The Hindustan Times, October 16, 2017)
You can not possibly pack in more cliches in two sentences.
Mr. Satyarthi surely has his heart in the right place but he should seriously consider not only coming out with better ideas but also having a new speech writer....

"Chilling 'Me Too' accounts" - by K.J.S.Chatrath
I have been stunned at reading the chilling # accounts of ‘Me Too’.
Are we living on a planet where a portion of half the population (women) are all through their lives are being molested/scared of being molested by a portion of the other half (males)!
I have been advocating strict punishment for rapists, i.e.
(i)
Physical Castration
(ii)
Photos of physically castrated rapists to be displayed
on TV.
(iii)
Re-enactment of the repealed Indian Whipping Act with
some safeguards. Convicted rapists to be given a minimum of 24 lashes.
Shame on us Men!
