My Humble Bee

I hardly knew thy closeness,
I hardly knew thy warmness,
I hardly knew thy sweetness,
I hardly knew thy anger,
I hardly knew thy separation.

My heart lingered,
In our sweet past,
Touching thy heart.

My eyes,
Watching thy soul,
Went outside to watch "MOON",
Thy only connection,
In this world.


Thy separation is killing me.
Waves of thoughts are lingering,
Making a cloud,
Were relinquishing my passion for her.

My weaver dreams and heartfelt words,
All my emotions,
Came to a hault.

I was damned,
But I’m a phonix,
I want to surge out,
To kiss the sweetness,
To listen the honey words,
Of My Humble Bee.


- to my sweet little zeher

Our Great Country, India

Hail Everybody,

I read the complete thread, and enjoyed every bit and nibble of it. I really appreciate – Shaiwal, Ishani and Shivam – for their conjurers over the topic. We can clearly see a violent streak in you all, against the Indian Judiciary System, just like me.

I completely agree with Shaiwal and Shivam on may points regarding lethargic attitude of our Governement regarding Capital Punishment. Regarding fast execution of any damn project and getting it done in time. Be it power stations, transportation, vikas yojna or census counting or be it Court Cases. There are lacs of cases still pending in courts and I can’t believe, Judicial Judges, who had taken an oath once upon a time to serve the country are on leave, gone on vacation, shit on them.

Indian Courts are closed on week-ends. Why? Though, lots’ of cases are pending, why to take leave on week ends. Currently, all court judges are on 45 days summer holiday.

What will happen to the millions of piled pending cases?

There are lot’s of vacancies left open, buy no bodies caring to recruit to fill them.

Very poor law system, that we have adopted way back in 1952 regarding crimes, has hardly changed since then. It’s in dire need of a 180 degree phase shift. But the problem is, who will change it? Shivam you said, we need to change everything, I agree. But, in order to change a single law, the whole procedure needs to get passed through the Legislative assembly (Lok Shabha).

There is a law ministry who takes care of all this laws regarding everything, including crime laws. Now in order to change a single law, this law ministry, first need to have insights that here is the problem and need to change. If they don’t find a problem in the existing system, why would they take unnecessary steps? Second, if “they” see a grave problem, they in accordance with the Rulling party, will write an amend, a decree with obligation to Mr. PM and Mrs. President regarding the same. The law will be introduced in the Assembly and will get a slot to discuss by the Speaker. The whole thing would then pass trough the Assembly. All the parties would hear and discuss the pro’s and con’s of it. In the end the resolution can be passed and can be made legal if an only it gets the majority of 2/3. Majority of 2/3 is essesntial in Lok Shabha, for each and every law to be passed. Even to change this rule of 2/3 majority, and make it 1/3 or ½, it needs to get 2/3 majority. You see the irony in this.

(Note: Money Bills need 50 % majority)

This is why; we aren’t able to make changes in our Judiciary System. A mea culpa.

Shaiwal you asked about, why the verdict of primary courts and primary fast track courts are not made final? This is simply because the law is made so, back in 1952. Second to change it, there has to be a rigorous discussion initiated by the law ministry in the legislative assembly and need to get the majority of 66 %.

In India, only one sect, only one cult works; Industrialists, and not the Government. This is a pitch dark truth of our country. Industrialists, work day-in and day-out, even on weekends to get the best and in bulk. But government officials are askew and snails, with lumpy paunch and staggering weights. They don’t believe in work during week ends, and during night, and in heat, and in rain. They work when they think its high time to work now, and that even just for the sake of completing the given work.

Ishani you said, our country India is the most non-violent country in the world, I completely agree with you. We are the dumbest and the most calm and peace loving country existing on this planet earth.

Let me give some examples:

China, if a terrorist/murderer is caught, there’s a rule, he/she need to be assigned a sentence in a 30 days time. Be it prosecution or bars. That’s it. Period. No time wastage.

In Israel, people don’t even wait to take the murderer or specially a terrorist to the court or even jail. Gunmen direly shoot them at sight. That’s the Israeli way to curb the terrorism.

Why So? Why so much of difference?

The reason is: these people, Chinese, United States, Germany, Japan, et al; understands the price and value of their freedom. They still remember the price they had paid to gain their freedom. We don’t.

Chinese and Israeli people have fought a shitty war of blood and gore to regain their inch – inch of land from their enemies. Their land, even today is soaked with their hot blood, and these people understand the importance of it. But we don’t.

Back in 1942, when Quite India movement started, Churchill clearly stated to Mr. Gandhi, “You’re a big fool Mr. Gandhi, you people can’t, simply can’t run this big country on your own. It’s a pretty mess. We are capable of and has the needed experience. Your country is feeble and shall be segregated and shall be collapsed with in no time. It’s a big mistake you’re doing Mr. Gandhi. Think once more”. I remember, this is written clearly in the famous book, ‘Freedom at Midnight’, by Dominique Lappirie.

Churchill was right. Believe me. We have, not yet, learned the way to rule this gigantic country with a population over 130 Crore. We're still in gestation period. We're still green, unripe, immature and juvenile.

Problems of brain drain, attrition, no proper legal policy, now and then interference of council of ministers, president in the law, no fix time duration of execution of a court case, lethargic behaviour, poor attitude toward work are the stark symptoms of our degraded Government's Management.

Just compare Government work with Private Channels:

Government Work: Sardar Sarovar Damn, Municipality work, PWD, et al

Private Work: Konkan Railway, Delhi Metro, Golden Quadrilateral, et al (Made on the law of BOT - Built, Operate and Transfer)

Spot the difference?

Plight of BSNL, post 1991 reform of libralization and after - how it changed, after springing up of other 12 mobile spectrums across the sky of Indian Subcontinent.

In short, to tame the government, public themselves has to kick the government’s ass.

Now to do this, there are two tools at our stake.

1. Ballot

2. Education.

As what Shivam and Shaiwal says.

Both of these have got certain powers, but half baked powers. If not understood properly by the public, it can go against us. And, that’s exactly what is happening. I won’t say, both of these factors should be used hand in hand or should concentrate on one, rather, we should be focused.

(a) People get educated, and go abroad or even if they stay here, get so involved with their work that they can’t vote.

(b) Uneducated, illiterate people vote hardly knowing whom to vote.

These are too simple layman practical phenomenon’s happening at the ground level.

And they are true.

Giving my own example,

Case 1:

In my voting right period of 6 years till now, I have voted only once. Why? Because since I got 18, I never lived at my home town, I kept on shifting alone without my family. Second, even when I voted once, in State Assembly Election of April 2009, didn’t know why I voted a particular person. I completely didn’t know the characteristics of the person I voted for at that time. Believe me, I voted just for the cause of voting. I was excited, then. I didn’t know any of the person standing for elections because I never stayed at my home town. So now, what does it mean? Does my vote had any weighting? Did it matter the final result in a fruitful way?

Case 2:

Now, the case turns to us all. We all 180 students of the batch 2009-11 of isbm, puna are like me only. When next election shall come for respective State Assembly, for example, not only we 180, but together 8 Lacs we like students who are potential voters but lives in pune for study purpose (and cannot be calculated in the census of Puna), will become deceitful, fraudulent crook, a big time hypocrite. For a single day – even though we are all well educated - will become boorish and hooligans and uncivilised and barbaric’s, isn’t it? Tell me if I’m wrong.

And this is only for Puna. What about other Tier II and I cities. What about those billions of people who have migrated for the purpose of job and due to famine? No body can vote, thought they are educated !

And believe me, I’m just chugging my way through the bottom of the pyramid of the whole constellation. There’s a lot to come. The thing is, India is a big vast blue ocean, where industrialists are churning money, white topi – babu’s- are churning money, only middle class govt. job doer is getting pissed off.

Industrialists hardly care; rather give a damn for govt. officials and their policies and Babus (policy makers) are always busy in calculating black moolahs. This is the true face of Our Great Country where, only it's name is a singular thing and we're sitting helpless, unable to reform the decree.

That's it, as of now.
