Aarushi Murder Case

Rajesh and Nupur Talwar were convicted of double murder of Aarushi Talwar and their domestic help, Hemraj Banjade in 2008. They got life sentences on Nov 23th, 2013. This case is so botched up that the claims made by CBI and prosecution claims do not make sense. Referring back to the infamous case of O.J. Simpson, common people could then understand that the suspect had a motive - that is, a disgruntled husband finding her wife having an affair with another man. 

In the case of Aarush murder case, the initial claim made by CBI was that the father caught her 14 yrs old daughter in a compromising position with an older man and so in the fit of anger, they killed both of them. This is such a bizarre and far-fetched motive. Unless the man is a psycho or a serial-killer, no biological parent can possibly kill his/her own daughter even if she is caught in a compromising situation. However, some say that there were only 4 people (The Talways, Aarushi and Hemraj were there in the apartment) and honor-killings are prevalent in North India.

Then there were numerous inconclusive evidences. Even at one point in time, CBI decided to close the case. However, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar didn't want the case to be closed. Some people will say it was their mistake (in retrospect) but one can also say that they didn't want their names to be floating around as possible murder suspects (like OJ Simpson). It also suggests that probably they wanted to find the real culprit. Can someone fake so much intent or motive ?  

I would rather let the real culprit/suspect roam freely but I would not let an innocent be convicted. I am not saying Rajesh and Nupur Talwar are innocent that but until unless one is not 100% sure, the benefit of doubt should be given to the accused, specially in a case where the investigation is botched up and it's a murder trial.

Arvind Kejriwal - Hope for Future India

Arvind Kejriwal is a well-known public figure. He stands out from the rest of the politicians because of his brand of politics, his vision for modern India and the timeliness and relevance of Arvind Kejriwal in the evolving politics of India and rest of the world. 

Arvind Kejriwal spearheaded an anti-corruption movement in India (India Against Corruption) along with Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi, Prashant Bhusan and any others. After struggling for two years, he ended up creating a political party, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Arvind Kejriwal is a known face on media, newspapers and is a highly respected speaker on issues related to mis-governance and corruption. Arvind always has to answer to hostile, biased, irrelevant questions coming from (paid) media, agents of established parties such as Congress, BJP and others. 

Arvind Kejriwal caught my attention for the first time while he was giving hard-hitting public speeches against flaws of the current system and against the current corruption ministers. His speeches would be so easy and focussed. He would say, "These politicians would all reach a consensus and pass a bill in 5mins if the bill is about hiking their salary". He would present the actual of criminals (convicted for rape, abduction, corruption) out of 552 seats in the Parliament of India. I have rarely heard him speaking without presenting facts.  

He appeared in many interviews. The following link points to one such recent interview. Please watch the video to know of his vision and politics.

P7 Exclusive: Sirf Rajneeti with Arvind Kejriwal

Sometime I think that Arvind tries to answers every question without being assertive and leaving out irrelevant points. In the past, he appeared in a show called Right To be Heard hosted by Rahul Kanwal on Headlines Today. I would like to highlight some of the questions that were asked and how he answered.

Questions: Why did you split with Anna Hazare and Kiran Bedi ? It shows you don't have "genes" (yes, someone mentioned about genes) to get along well with colleagues. How can you make AAP a successful party. You are an anarchist. You were ready to kill Anna when he was on a fast doing protest. How can people trust you ?

Arvind kept saying there was no tension between him and Anna Hazare. There were no differences in opinions. He suggested how Headlines Today should invite Anna Hazare and clarify with him. He kept saying he had the highest respects for Anna Hazare and Kiran Bedi and both of them were honest. 

I think he had answered such questions for umpteen number of times else where. He also lost opportunities to talk something important. It is not difficult to understand that people asking such questions are planted agents of Congress/BJP or paidmedia. I do not understand, why he doesn't say -- We had our differences in opinions. Either you live with it or you don't. If you cannot live with it, don't vote for us but stop asking such meaningless questions. If you think Anna Hazare was mis-led or used, let him follow his own directions now as he is doing. Go and extend support to him.....

Nitish Kumar and his politics

Nitish Kumar (#Niku) is the new found love of Congress and paid media (e.g., NDTV, CNN-IBN, Timesnow...). We got to know his true colors after BJP elevated Narendra Modi as the chief of the election campaign for 2014 general elections. Immediately after the event on June 10, 2013 in Goa, Nitish Kumar and JD(U) were found saying that it was a BJP interval event. One week after that JD(U) severed political ties with BJP. JD(U) is an independent political party and it can do whatever is best for them. However, when a party tries to fool the voters, it is no longer acceptable. We should clarify a few questions from Nitish Kumar. Niku and JD(U) kept saying that they wanted a leader for NDA (and the PM candidate) which would have the following characteristics. 

1. He/she should take forward all sections of the society along with him. Does he mean to say that Narendra Modi never took forward all sections in Gujarat. Gujaratis voted him to power 3 times in a row. Isn't Niku implying that Gujarati voters are greater fools than the Biharis ? Does Niku have evidence to show that Modi didn't help poorer sections of the society whereas Niku did everything for poor Biharis ?
   
2. He/she should have secular image. He obviously is implying that Narendra Modi does not have one. Is Niku not disrespecting all non-Hindu voters who voted for Modi ?
3. He/she should respect the party elders. It seems he forgot how he forgot his party elder George Fernandes.

Niku has already appreciated & welcomed 'secular' certificate given by the prime minister, Manmohan Singh (MMS). Who is MMS ? He is a Sikh who according to me has not done anything to enable the Sikh community to win any kind of justice for the victims of 1984 Sikh massacre. The Sikh massacre was sponsored by Congress party under Rajiv Gandhi. It was not a riot. The Sikhs were sorted out and butchered. Two of Congress Ministers who are widely believed (according to multiple witnesses) to be involved are Sajjan Kumar and Jagdish Tytler. Most of the riots in Gujarat happened under Congress regime. In fact the recent riots in Assam and Maharastra happened under the watch of Congress Chief Ministers. For how long will pseudo-secular ministers like Nitish Kumar will make fools of the citizens and voters ?

Pacific Rim

There was so much hype around this movie. So, I went to watch it in IMAX 3D. There was hardly any story to tell. The movie was about humans, machines and monsters. There were only two things which were different in this movie - the source or place where the monsters come from; and size of the monsters. The monsters looked cheesy. Most of the scenes were shot in dark and in water. The look and feel was not as neat and sharp as in Iron Man or Man of Steel.

Usually aliens come from outer space. In this movie, the monsters came from under the ocean (deep down below ocean) and they wanted to capture the earth by eliminating human beings from all over the world. In order to protect the human race, humans developed LARGE sized machines or robot. A robot needed two pilots to operate however the two pilots were needed to be connected such that their body and minds were synchronized.  

Here is something I didn't understand. If one can build such a huge machine, why not make it more easily maneuverable for the pilots ?

In a fight between a robot and a Kaiju (monster), the protagonist lost his brother and he gave up his job to work for a wall-construction company for 5+ yrs. As the program to kill Kaijus was not producing results, the bosses told the leader to wrap up the project in a few months. As expected, the leader would not give up and so he decided to re-assemble a team in Hong Kong and made the protagonist join his team. As they arrived in Hong Kong, the protagonist finds a Japanese (or Chinese) girl there. Sooner he found her to be the most suitable co-pilot. Twist - The leader would not let her go into a fight as he had been protective of her. After minor drama, it was decided she would become his co-pilot...followed by more minor drama.

More threats of attacks by Kaijus became imminent. The goal for the team was simple. They would be ready for the next set of Kaijus to come and they kill the Kaijus. However, to end the war, the team needed to nuke the place under the ocean. As the task became difficult, the leader also joined the fighters team and soon there were two robots which went down into the ocean. The robots foughts the Kaijus and blew their actual home with nuclear bombs.

Something was missing in the movie...it was not fulfilling...
