Indian Governments Shameful Stand on War Crimes

Last week, we again witnessed a low resolve and shameful decision from the Government of India (GOI).  The case being referred is of GOI washing its hands to support petition of DR. DN Kalia (Father of Captain Saurabh Kalia) at UN Human Rights Council to bring the perpetrators who killed the Brave son of Soil Captain Kalia and five of his unit members with utter brutality. 

For those who are not familiar with the incident, need to note that in 1999 during the Kargil War, Capt Kalia and his 5 unit members were Brutally Tortured and Killed in captivity of Pakistani Army.  Their bodies were returned 22 days later on June 9, 1999 when the war was at its peak.  For any nation, this would certainly be a case of War Crimes as per the Geneva Convention, but GOI has a different shameful stand here.

Though Dr Kalia moved to SC in 2012 as well as lodged a Petition with UN Human Rights Council, GOI has not taken up the case as they want to settle this amicably with the Rogue Nation in question.  A nation who's PM calls our PM as Dehati Aurat and then acts as a Dehati Aurat himself.

I would suggest that as a nation and as one unit, we all need to stand up to Support Dr. Kalia's cause because it is not just the case of his son, but many such bravehearts who get tortured by the dastards from that rogue nation.  We as a nation need to unite with Dr Kalia just like we united for war against corruption and War against Crime on Women.  

GOI might not be ashamed to take a decision like this and make a mockery of the torture faced by our bravehearts. The case highlighted might be of 6 Bravehearts who are referred as First Kargil heroes, but then there are many other instances too and there can be more that could be repeated in future. It is hence important to back Dr Kalia and get the resolution moved for War Crimes against the Rogue Nations' Army and get the perpetrators to justice....

Please join the raise your voice against Shameful Stand of GOI.....

My New World

After a long time I am feeling like writing something that is slightly personal, that is something about myself and that is about my loved ones.  Yes it does involve a few shades from my past that have been my learning (hard ones) and that have helped me evolve as a person to be more family focused than I would have been then.

When I look back, the dawn of my new world had begun during the Ganesh Festival, on Wednesday September 26, 2012 when I spoke to the lovely lady who became my life partner. The call then and the subsequent dinner that night went well for me, but seems not everything went as good for her.  But, keeping all our negatives aside, we dated a few more days and with the consent of our families we got married to each other two months later.

The twist and the turn helped me get over with the die hard habit of being too vulnerable when helping others and getting abused by those whom I helped.  There had been numerous cases where I helped people around me and they too full advantage of my generosity (that's why used word abused).  There had been people who when needed financial help were helped financially, but they disappeared once their woes were taken care of. There had been people who were given shelter in my abode and they disappeared after their woes had been taken care of. there had been people who were supported morally and they walked all over spreading rumors about me.  But the Sweet, Lovely and Caring Wife helped me get over my own habit that always got me those setbacks financially, morally and emotionally.  She started building the new world for me.

With the slow and steady patience filled approach she help me mend my ways in which I looked at the world and the way I used to set my preferences.  She worked her way to help me change with tenderness, love, care and yeah occasional Anger bursts (LOL)....But, she never left a stone unturned to help me get over my old ways....

Our little journey of life (in last one year) together helped me see a better future than what it would have otherwise been without her.  She has given me the best gift of my life - my daughter who was born just this month. Though a premature one, the little one is too cute and adorable just like her Mom (my wife).  Together they have made my New World more charming and lovable.  

The change in me has also been noted by my parents and they are happy that their son (me) is back to life that is to be lived rather than just dragging across the deserts like a lone traveler.  They have been at their best in my old world and in my new world, they have been the happiest as I see.... The camaraderie between them and my wife is something that I feel jealous about (LOL).... 

The small new world that was initiated by my wife certainly can't be complete without my parents and yes she has been at her best to have given me a well balanced New World where I am supposed to be living and forget the misshapes & setbacks from my past (baring the learning).... 

Yes...am loving my New World...
